In the past, GAO has suggested that the Joint Reform Team provide Congress with 'long-term financing requirements for security clearance reform.'
I also bring to my colleagues' attention a July 14, 2010, letter to Senators Levin, Kerry, McCain, and Lugar, from former commanders of the Strategic Air Command and U.S. Strategic Command. Again, I hope my colleagues will read that…
We still believe that identifying long-term funding for all of the reform efforts would help, especially as the money becomes tighter and congressional decisionmakers such as yourself have to prioritize.
I think, General Clapper, or somebody needs to just say to them, 'Look, we have decided that if they have this kind of clearance, it ought to be acceptable in your shop.'
