"It's a great place to put a foreign spy," Pack said, citing what he contended were severe security lapses by previous leadership. He says he has had a security clearance since entering the federal service at the Government Accountability Office under President George W. Bush. Several former executives tell NPR they consider Pack's stated concerns unsubstantiated and that USAGM has stricter security standards than those mandated by federal regulations.
