Identity Theft: Governments Have Acted to Protect Personally Identifiable Information, but Vulnerabilities Remain, Statement of Daniel Bertoni, Director Education, Workforce, and Income Security Issues, Testimony before the Subcommittee on Information Policy, Census and National Archives, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, House of Representatives
The Government Accountability Office "was asked to testify on how the loss of personally identifiable information contributes to identity theft. This testimony summarizes (1) the problem of identity theft; (2) steps taken at the federal, state, and local level to prevent potential identity theft; and (3) vulnerabilities that remain to protecting personally identifiable information, including in federal information systems. For this testimony, GAO relied primarily on information from prior reports and testimonies that address public and private sector use of personally identifiable information, as well as federal, state, and local efforts to protect the security of such information."

Human Capital: Improved Implementation of Safeguards and an Action Plan to Address Employee Concerns Could Increase Employee Acceptance of the National Security Personnel System, Statement of Brenda S. Farrell, Director Defense Capabilities and Management, Testimony before the Subcommittee on Readiness, Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives, April 1, 2009
This Government Accountability Office (GAO) report discusses steps taken by the Department of Defense (DOD) to implement internal safeguards to ensure that National Security Personnel System (NSPS) is fair, effective, and credible. The DOD "is in the process of implementing its new human capital system for managing civilian personnel-the NSPS. Key components of NSPS include compensation, classification, and performance management. Implementation of NSPS could have far-reaching implications, not just for DOD, but for civil service reform across the federal government. As of February 2009, about 205,000 civilian employees were under NSPS. Based on GAO's prior work reviewing performance management in the public sector, GAO developed an initial list of safeguards that NSPS should include to ensure it is fair, effective, and credible. In 2008, Congress directed GAO to evaluate, among other things, the extent DOD implemented accountability mechanisms, including those in 5 U.S.C. section 9902(b)(7) and other internal safeguards in NSPS.

Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on DoD Responses to Transnational Threats, Volume I: Final Report
"In response to joint tasking from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology and the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, the 1997 DSB Summer Study Task Force addressed the Department's Responses to Transnational Threats. In the study, the Task Force concludes that the Department should treat transnational threats as a major Department of Defense mission. Transnational actors have three advantages: 1) they can have ready access to weapons of mass destruction; 2) we cannot easily deter them because they have no homeland; and 3) they respect no boundaries, whether political, organizational, legal or moral. Further, warning may be short and attribution may be slow or ambiguous. Since the United States is now the dominant military force in the world, potential adversaries will be driven to asymmetric strategies to meet their objectives. As such, transnational threats represent an important national security problem."

DOD Personnel Clearances: DOD Faces Multiple Challenges in Its Efforts to Improve Clearance Processes for Industry Personnel, Statement of Jack E. Edwards, Acting Director Defense Capabilities and Management, Testimony before the Subcommittee on Readiness, Committee on Armed Services, House of Representatives
"The Department of Defense (DOD) maintains approximately 2.5 million security clearances on service members, federal DOD civilian employees, industry personnel for DOD and 23 other federal agencies, and employees in the legislative branch. Delays in determining eligibility for a clearance can heighten the risk that classified information will be disclosed to unauthorized sources, increase contract costs, and pose problems in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. In this statement, GAO addresses: (1) the status of DOD's efforts to improve its projections of the numbers of clearances needed for industry personnel, and (2) other long-standing challenges that have a negative effect on the efficiency and effectiveness of DOD's personnel security clearance program for industry personnel. This statement is based on a report GAO is issuing today (GAO-08-350) and other prior work, which included reviews of clearance-related documents and interviews of senior officials at DOD and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)."

Journeys: North Dakota's Trail towards Disaster Resistance
"Since 1993, North Dakota's weather has been defying imagination. A greater-than-average number of blizzards, floods and severe storms has brought new meaning to the word 'challenge' for the state and its citizens. So how have North Dakotans fared through these disasters? And what lessons have they learned along the way about creating a safer place to live? In 2000, the North Dakota Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency set out to find the answers to those very questions. To do that, we journeyed to some of the communities hardest hit in recent years to see their recovery from disasters large and small. We conducted more than 200 interviews with citizens, local officials, business owners and community leaders to learn firsthand about how they've recovered and, more importantly, what they've learned from disaster. Through their stories, we've found that a new North Dakota is emerging. Its citizens are turning tragedy into triumph. They are creating their own opportunities for change and growth. They're doing more than just repairing the damage. They are finding innovative ways to build safer, more livable communities. Some of the solutions haven't come easy. There has been both trial and error. But sheer tenacity has changed the occasional failure into both proven and potential success as North Dakotans have utilized new ways to solve old problems. The lessons learned here are not just important to one state. They are important to every citizen, business and community throughout the country that has or will be impacted by a natural disaster."
