Book Description
A practical guide to untangling the red tape of security clearances, Elizabeth Newman's new book is designed to assist attorneys, agency representatives, staffers, personal management specialists and personnel security managers in understanding the law of a field traditionally steeped in secrecy. The material is presented in four parts: administrative procedures, hearings, case analyses, and relevant court case summaries. Ms. Newman, a partner in a Washington, DC law firm specializing in employment law, explains the criteria used by the Department of Defense in granting, denying or revoking a security clearance. Among those criteria are: sexual behavior, financial problems, alcohol or drug abuse, emotional and mental disorders, criminal conduct, and security violations. She explains how the laws apply to both government contractors and federal employees, how research is conducted, what civil and criminal procedural issues must be considered, and how the appeal process works. Explanation of these important issues, as well as timely current topics like the use of lie detector tests and the privilege against self-incrimination ("taking the Fifth") culminates in a book that is required reading for security professionals.
