Classified Disclosures to Congress

Classified Disclosures to Congress – The amendment would clarify that classified information may be

disclosed to a member of Congress or congressional staff as long as that person is authorized to

receive such information.

Security Clearances – The amendment would authorize the MSPB to review cases charging retaliation when

an employee’s security clearance is revoked and if the MSPB finds retaliation, to reinstate the

security clearance.

All Circuit Review – The amendment would allow the Federal Circuit or any other Federal circuit court

to hear whistleblower cases, ending the NIKE SHOX Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s exclusive

jurisdiction over whistleblower appeals. This provision would sunset after a period of five years.
