SEC. 1504. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY REPORTS ON SECU-

(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) despite sustained efforts by Congress and the 
executive branch, an unacceptable backlog in proc-
essing and adjudicating security clearances persists, 
both within elements of the intelligence community 
and in other departments of the Federal Government,

with some processing times exceeding a year or even 
more; 
(2) the protracted clearance timetable threatens 
the ability of elements of the intelligence community 
to hire and retain highly qualified individuals, and 
thus to fulfill the missions of such elements; 
(3) the prospect of a lengthy clearance process 
deters some such individuals from seeking employ-
ment with the intelligence community in the first 
place, and, when faced with a long wait time, those 
with conditional offers of employment may opt to dis-
continue the security clearance process and pursue 
different opportunities; 
(4) now more than ever, therefore, the broken se-
curity clearance process badly needs fundamental re-
form; and 
(5) in the meantime, to ensure the ability of ele-
ments of the intelligence community to hire and re-
tain highly qualified personnel, elements should con-
sider, to the extent possible and consistent with na-
tional security, permitting new employees to enter on 
duty immediately or nearly so, and to perform, on a 
temporary basis pending final adjudication of their 
security clearances, work that either does not require
