NSA Criminal Referrals Under E.O. 11905

In this memo, the OLC clarified the oral guidance Bill Funk gave to the NSA regarding the NSA’s reporting requirements under § 4(a)(4) of E.O. 119905. The OLC concluded that even though Mr. Frunk did not define the meaning of “routine” offenses, such offenses included the admissions of limited personal use of marijuana or other controlled substances by NSA employment applicants or personas who were undergoing pre-clearance investigations.
