DOE responds to report on its security, counterintelligence and science programs; announces security policy reforms

The Department of Energy on Thursday unveiled a number of security policy reforms throughout the DOE and its laboratory complex. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham made the announcement following the release of a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Commission of Science and Security, headed by CSIS President and CEO John Hamre. The panel, commissioned by the DOE to review the intersection of DOE's security, counterintelligence and science programs, conducted its work over 18 months and came up with 45 recommendations for improvements. In a news release, DOE noted that it was advised of the panel's initial findings and already has begun to implement many of the recommendations.
