employment of an employee under this subsection is final and may not be 
appealed or reviewed outside the Department of Defense.

investigative authorities within the military department concerned as 
may be necessary for the conduct of a joint foreign counterintelligence 
investigation.
    ``(g) Rules of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to prohibit information from being furnished by the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation pursuant to a subpoena or court order, in 
connection with a judicial or administrative proceeding to enforce the 
provisions of this Act. Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
authorize or permit the withholding of information from the Congress.
