Posts - Bill - HRES 46 Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to exclude employees of the offices of Members who serve on certain committees of the House from the allotment of the number of employees of the office who may hold security clearances processed by the Office of House Security if such employees are members of the armed forces who hold a security clearance issued by the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.
house 01/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing a change to the House rules that would allow members of the armed forces working in certain congressional offices to use their existing Department of Defense security clearances without affecting the number of staff who can hold security clearances processed by the House. This aims to streamline processes and better leverage the clearances already held by military personnel.

Finally, a policy that won't penalize our soldiers serving in Congress for already being vetted by the Department of Defense.

Why burden our military members with redundant paperwork when they already have the clearance? Common sense prevails.

While efficient, we need to avoid opening doors for potential misuse.

Finally giving our armed service members in the House some well-deserved leeway!
