Henry Giordano  

Definition

  • Henry Luke Giordano (1914–2003) served as the last commissioner of the U.S. Treasury Department's Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1962 until 1968, when it merged with the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control to form the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. An experienced federal agent, Giordano presided over an difficult period at the Federal Bureau of Narcotics that ended with a scandalous flurry of resignations and charges of corruption.
