ZERO BASED REVIEW TECHNIQUES
I have initiated a system of a Zero Based Clearance
Review technique to positively assure that cleared personnel
actually need the accesses they.hold. It demands a positive
restatement by management officials of the rationale for each
individual clearance held within areas under their jurisdiction..
These statements are then reviewed by an impartial arbiter
who confirms or denies the requirements with tasking officials
as necessary. Our initial reviews utilizing this technique
have resulted in significant reductions of access requirements.
I envision continuation of this program and expect that it
will serve as a vehicle for reducing the number of persons
approved for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information.
