Most of the activities of the board are classified. The board reports directly to the president. Former MIT President James R. Killian Jr. '26 was the first chairman of the FIAB, which was created in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Deutch said in an interview that he was "delighted" to have been asked to serve on the committee. The appointment lasts for two years.
