DOD revises security clearance guidance

DOD revises security clearance guidance: "The Pentagon has cleared the way for defense industrial workers who are facing delays in renewing their security clearances to remain on the job, according to Rep. Rob Simmons (R-Conn.).

The change ?benefits workers whose recertification [is] delayed,? Simmons said in a news release. ?I?m pleased that the Pentagon has clarified its policy, and that our defense workers can get to work where and when national security requirements ? not bureaucracy ? call.? "
