US Government Delays Security-Screening Plan for Nonprofit Workers - Philanthropy.com

US Government Delays Security-Screening Plan for Nonprofit Workers - Philanthropy.com: "US Government Delays Security-Screening Plan for Nonprofit Workers By Ian Wilhelm Thanks in part to loud protests by charities, the U.S. Agency for International Development said it has postponed the start of a controversial plan to screen nonprofit organizations for ties to terrorists. The proposed screening effort, known as the Partner Vetting System, will not begin until the aid agency reviews all comments from charities and others affected by it, James Kunder, the aid agency’s acting deputy administrator, told The Washington Post in an article published today."
