What the document says

“These responsibilities must remain with the Department of Defense and the Office of Personnel Management”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 241

The chapter says the agency must never again be entrusted with delegated authority over its own personnel security programs and suitability determinations until it can prove past failures will not recur. Those responsibilities were transferred to Defense and the Office of Personnel Management in the final weeks of the Trump Administration.

What the document actually says

“These responsibilities must remain with the Department of Defense and the Office of Personnel Management”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 241
That sentence, in plain words

Two other agencies do these checks now. They must keep doing them.

What this is about

Staff at this agency must be vetted for security. The agency used to do that itself. The book says it did the job badly. It says other agencies should keep doing it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
