BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Faster Processing Of DOD Personnel

Security Clearances Could Avoid Millions

In Losses



Security clearance requests for DOD and in-
dustry personnel have increased substantially
since 1978 without a corresponding increase
in DOD and FBI personnel who investigate
and process the requests. Processing delays--
some averaging 220 days--are costly and could
weaken national security. Based on an industry
study, GAO estimates that 1982 productivity
losses could cost the Government as much as
$920 million--$340 million for industry and
$580 million for DOD.

This report recommends that prompt action
be taken to hire additional personnel and
that FBI automation efforts be expedited.
