Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the adequacy of the Department of Energy's (DOE) periodic reinvestigations of employees' security clearances for access to nuclear defense programs.

GAO found that DOE: (1) has been unable to meet its goals to reinvestigate security clearances at headquarters and some field offices; (2) may have cleared employees in its work force who were unsuitable for clearance because of serious drug, alcohol, or other problems; (3) should develop a plan to ensure timely reinvestigations; and (4) should review the appropriateness of the number and level of active clearances, since these factors largely determine the reinvestigation work load.
