Robert Mueller, President Bush's choice to become director of the FBI, listens to opening statements at the start of his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill, Monday, July 30, 2001, in Washington. Though he has never been an FBI agent, Mueller, 56, is regarded as a no-nonsense Justice Department veteran and former federal prosecutor who has served in senior posts under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
