National Security Language Initiative

[Sarah Hurst]

Good luck to the U.S. government in finding language specialists! After
reading the 9/11 report with the details about the desperate shortage of
linguists, I went to the CIA website to offer my services as a freelance
Russian translator. One of the questions on the form was, "Do you have dual
citizenship, and if so, would you be prepared to renounce your non-U.S.
citizenship?" I said yes, I have dual U.S.-UK citizenship and no I wouldn't
be prepared to renounce my citizenship. I was told that the application
process was over and I should never bother applying again as my SSN would be
kept on file.
