Controls Over the Release of Personnel Information

This report responds to two congressional requests. One request came from Sen. Thomas Carper and another was a joint request from Reps. Elijah E. Cummings and Gerald E. Connolly, Ranking Member and Vice Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, respectively. Their requests asked for an investigation into the Postal Service’s release of former U.S. Postal Inspection Service employee Abigail Spanberger’s Standard Form 86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions, and any other related personnel information. Ms. Spanberger was the Democratic candidate (now Representative-elect) for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District.
