36. Same kind of stuff.

The company is held to the national security requirements and hold the employee to the same requirements. They pass the legal liability through and follow the same rules that their contracting agency would impose.

I worked for a translation company that did NASA and corporate work. Nothing involving very much national security. Still some had some sort of security clearance associated with it. We had the same obligations and liability that the NASA translators had. The difference was that we worked by the job, when NASA had more work than their staffers could handle. (Which was pretty much all the time.)
