Senate action urged after NSA defectors reveal security gaps
House committee chief Edwin Willis cites Victor Hamilton’s defection and Soviet reports to call for Senate action on a bill tightening NSA personnel security. He says NSA laxity persists and notes background checks were lacking despite past investigations. Hamilton, an Arab American, claimed decoded State Department cables and limited due process preceded his departure. The Defense Department confirmed his NSA tenure from 1959 to 1959 with access to classified material, while Pentagon officials cited a paranoid schizoid assessment for his discharge. The bill to fire security risks without appeal passed the House on May 9 but awaits Senate action.
