Another SCI Clearance Victory

August 23, 2009

Bill Savarino secured another SCI clearance for an applicant at the National Security Agency (NSA). The denial was based on the fact that the applicant had been charged with felony sexual conduct involving his young stepdaughter and failed to report this charge on his SF-86. Mr. Savarino worked with the applicant to prepare a detailed brief and numerous exhibits in mitigation, which carried the day. NSA’s Deputy Chief of Security reversed NSA’s initial decision to deny the applicant SCI access.
