Congressman Denied Access to Sensitive Docs

According to a report in the July 20 Oregonian, U.S. Congressman Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon, has been denied access by the White House to documents involving the continuity of government operations in an emergency. No reason was reported for the denial, and it is not clear whether DeFazio already holds a security clearance. As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, he very well may – at least at the SECRET level.
