EXECUTIVE 'ORDER 10450
SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT
WHEREAS the interests of the na-
tional security require that all persons
privileged to be employed in the depart-
ments and agencies of the Government,
shall be reliable, trustworthy, of good
conduct and character, and of complete
and unswerving loyalty to the United
States; and
WHEREAS the American tradition
that all persons should receive fair, im-
partial, and equitable treatment at the
hands of the Government requires that
all persons seeking the privilege of em-
ployment or privileged to be employed in
the departments and agencies of the
Government be adjudged by mutually
consistent and no less than minimum
standards and procedures among the
departments and agencies governing the
employment and retention in employ-
ment of persons in the Federal service:
NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitu-
tion and statutes of the United States,
including section 1753 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States (5 U. S. C.
631) ; the Civil Service Act of 1883 (22
Stat. 403; 5 U. S. C. 632, et seq.) ; section
9A of the act of August 2, 1939, 53 Stat.
1148 (5 U. S. C. 118 j) ; and the act of
August 26, 1950, 64 Stat. 476 (5 U. S. C.
22-1, et seq.), and as President of the
United States, and deeming such action
necessary in the. best interests of the
national security, it is hereby ordered as
follows:
SECTION 1. In addition to the depart-
ments and agencies specified in the said
act of August 26, 1950, and Executive
Order No. 10237 of April 26, 1951, the
provisions of that act shall apply to all
other departments and agencies of the
Government.
SEC. 2. The head of each department
and agency of the Government shall be
responsible for establishing and main-
taining within his department or agency
an effective program to insure that the
employment and retention in employ-
within the department or agency is
clearly consistent with the interests of
the national security.
SEC. 3. (a) The appointment of each
civilian officer or employee in any depart-
ment or agency of the Government shall
be made subject to investigation. The
scope of the investigation shall be deter-
mined in the first instance according to
the degree of adverse effect the occupant
of the position sought to be idled could
bring about, by virtue of the nature of
the position, on the national security, but
in no event shall the, investigation in-
clude less than a national agency check
(including a check of the fingerprint files
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation),
and written inquiries to appropriate lo-
cal law-enforcement agencies, former
employers and supervisors, references,
and schools attended by the person under
investigation: Provided, that upon re-
quest. of the head of the department or
agency concerned, the Civil Service Com-
mission may, in its discretion, authorize
such less investigation as may meet the
requirements of the national security
with respect to per-diem, intermittent,
temporary, or seasonal employees, or
aliens employed outside the United
States. Should there develop at any
stage of investigation information indi-
cating that the employment of any such
person may not be clearly consistent with
the interests' of the. national security,
there shall be conducted with respect to
such person a full field investigation, or
such less investigation as shall be suffi-
cient to enable the head of the depart-
ment or agency concerned to determine
whether retention of such, person is
clearly consistent with the interests of
the national security.
(b) The head of any department or
agency shall designate, or cause to be
designated, any position within his de-
partment or agency the occupant of
which could bring about, by. virtue of
the nature of the position, a material
adverse effect on the national security
as a sensitive position. Any position so
designated shall be filled or occupied
only by a person with respect to whom a
full field investigation has been con-
ducted: Provided, that a person occupy-
