Keep the broadcasting agency's personnel vetting with Defense and OPM
What the document says“These responsibilities must remain with the Department of Defense and the Office of Personnel Management”
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”
Two other agencies do these checks now. They must keep doing them.
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.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The memorandum of March 20, 2025 delegates to the Director of the Office of Personnel Management the authority to make final suitability determinations and take suitability actions on post-appointment conduct across the executive branch, and requires a rulemaking amending part 731 of title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations before that delegation takes effect. It centralizes one kind of decision at OPM, which runs in the same direction as the proposal, but it never mentions the U.S. Agency for Global Media, does not address that agency's delegated authority over its own personnel security program and suitability determinations, and does not touch the Defense Department's role in vetting its staff. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
