How was a Vietnamese national involved at a high level at TAO?

I've never heard of it at NSA, but I think technically you can hold a clearance as a dual national if you agree you'd renounce it if asked.

Again, may be an aspect of contractor being involved.

Thanks, Marcy, for your catch. He was a U.S. citizen, my understanding is born in Vietnam. Also he was not a contractor. Was a TAO employee.

Some countries simply don't recognize renunciations and may either not have any procedure for relinquishing citizenship or impose onerous conditions. The US is such a country, incidentally, mostly because of its odd international taxation system. No idea about Vietnam.

Vietnam has, as I understand it, weak citizenship retention for those who leave, which is how CT defendant Minh Quang Pham ended up here.
