Bill overview
The Hire To Secure our Nation Act of 2020 allows the Department of Defense and the Department of State to temporarily hire individuals directly, bypassing the usual competitive service process, for positions requiring expertise in Iran, China, or Russia, and for linguist roles. It also establishes a fellowship program to recruit experienced professionals, particularly those with foreign language skills or cybersecurity expertise, to work on national security issues. The bill includes provisions for citizenship requirements and allows for extensions of the direct-hire authority if Congress is notified of ongoing national security threats.
