FBI Executive to Join Royal Caribbean

WASHINGTON (AP) - Eleni Pryles Kalisch, assistant director of congressional affairs for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is leaving the bureau for a similar position with Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the agency said Thursday.

Kalisch, 45, who began her FBI career in 1995 as assistant general counsel at headquarters and was named to her current position in August 2003, will join the world's second-largest cruise line in mid-May as its vice president of congressional affairs.

Kalisch "has been directly involved in every major issue facing the FBI over the past five years, and I have greatly relied on her skill and counsel," FBI Director Robert Mueller said in a release. "She will be sorely missed."

Representatives from Miami, Fla.-based Royal Caribbean did not immediately return calls for comment Thursday afternoon.

Shares of Royal Caribbean dipped 21 cents to $42.49 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
