The post Manual of Administrative Operations and Procedures first appeared on The Black Vault.

This booklet summarizes the laws, regulations and policies governing the political activities of federal employees and employees of the District of Columbia government. Its intent is to provide a basic overview of permissible and prohibited political activities. Employees should not rely on the opinions of friends or  co-workers when they have questions with regard to a specific political activity. Ignorance of the law does not excuse an employee’s violation of the Hatch Act. Reliance on incorrect or unofficial information also  does not excuse a violation. Employees with additional questions may obtain an advisory opinion by telephoning the Office of the Special Counsel or by submitting their questions, in writing, to the address listed below.

Here is an excerpt from the booklet outlining what you are signing:

As an employee of the Federal Government or one of its contractors, licensees, or grantees who occupies a position which requires access to classified information, you have been the subject of a personnel security investigation. The purpose of this investigation was to determine your trustworthiness for access to classified information. When the investigation was completed, your employing or sponsoring department or agency granted you a security clearance based upon a favorable determination of the investigation results. By being granted a security clearance, you have met the first of three requirements necessary to have access to classified information.

After more than 5 years of waiting, I finally received the DIA’s employee manual.  Of course, they processed the current version at the time of the original request, which was 2009, but it is well worth a read to get a glimpse of what it’s like to work at the DIA.This was released in November of 2014.
