The source text directly confirms that Jeffrey Kessler holds the position of Under Secretary at the Bureau of Industry and Security. The source lists him under 'Office of the Under Secretary' with the title 'Under Secretary'. The organization (BIS) and role title match the record exactly. The startDate of 2025 cannot be verified from this source as it does not provide appointment dates, but this is not contradicted—the source simply does not address when he started. The core personnel information (person, org, role) is confirmed.
