§4863 Use of Cleared Personnel to Ensure Secure Maintenance and Repair of Diplomatic Facilities Abroad

Summary

The Secretary of State must make and use rules so that people with proper U.S. security clearances do maintenance and repairs in parts of U.S. embassies or consulates overseas where classified materials are kept or classified work is done. These rules are meant to keep those areas secure. The Secretary must also study whether some overseas U.S. facilities should be required to hire only contractors who have such clearances for that work. The study must include facilities in Cairo, New Delhi, Riyadh, and Tokyo. The Secretary must report the study results to the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee no later than 180 days after February 16, 1990.
