CHAPTER 34--THE PEACE CORPS
Sec. 2519. Security investigations
All persons employed or assigned to duties under this chapter shall
be investigated to insure that the employment or assignment is
consistent with the national interest in accordance with standards and
procedures established by the President. If an investigation made
pursuant to this section develops any data reflecting that the person
who is the subject of the investigation is of questionable loyalty or is
a questionable security risk, the investigating agency shall refer the
matter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the conduct of a full
field investigation. The results of that full field investigation shall
be furnished to the initial investigating agency, and to the agency by
which the subject person is employed, for information and appropriate
action. Volunteers shall be deemed employees of the United States
Government for the purpose of this section.
