With Honor Action endorses H.R. 6105 and S. 3181, the Restricting Ex-Vetted Officials from Knowledge Exploitation (REVOKE) Act, led by For Country Caucus member Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), an Air Force reservist, and Co-Chair Rep. Don Davis (D-NC), an Air Force veteran, in the House and by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) in the Senate.
“Classified information and state secrets should never be up for sale, and that is what China is buying when they hire former government personnel as lobbyists. There should not be a profit incentive in public service,” said Rye Barcott, co-founder and CEO of With Honor. “With Honor is proud to endorse this bipartisan bill, and we thank For Country Caucus members, Reps. Pfluger and Davis, and Sen. Cornyn, for fighting back against public corruption.”
This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to revoke security clearances from former Department of Defense military personnel or civilian employees who lobby on behalf of China.
