Loyalty Program Changes Advised by Congressional Commission
A congressional loyalty commission urged reforms to government hiring and security practices. It proposed allowing cross-examination of accusers when safe, ending the confidential class, and stricter penalties for divulging secret information. The panel favored moving screening from state to justice departments and tighter immigrant screening. The report called for two major laws on secrecy and wiretap evidence, with most steps usable by the president.
