WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION ENHANCEMENT ACT

The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA) was signed into law
in 2012. The law strengthened the protections for federal employees who disclose
evidence of waste, fraud, or abuse. The WPEA also requires that any
non-disclosure policy, form, or agreement include the statement copied below,
and provides that any such policy, form or agreement executed without the
language may be enforced as long as agencies give employees notice of the
statement. This serves as notice to current and former employees.

As a current or former Office of the Pardon Attorney employee, you may have been
required to sign a non-disclosure policy, form, or agreement to access
classified or other information. You should read this statement as if it were
incorporated into any non-disclosure policy, form, or agreement you have signed.

These provisions are consistent with and do not supersede, conflict with, or
otherwise alter the employee obligations, rights, or liabilities created by
existing statute or Executive order relating to (1) classified information, (2)
communications to Congress, (3) the reporting to an Inspector General of a
violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or mismanagement, a gross waste of
funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public
health or safety, or (4) any other whistleblower protection. The definitions,
requirements, obligations, rights, sanctions, and liabilities created by
controlling Executive orders and statutory provisions are incorporated into this
agreement and are controlling.

Employees (and former employees) are reminded that reporting evidence of waste,
fraud, or abuse involving classified information or classified programs must
continue to be made consistent with established rules and procedures designed to
protect classified information.

The following list of Executive orders and statutory provisions are controlling
in the case of any conflict with an agency non-disclosure policy, form, or
agreement:

 * Executive Order No. 13526;
 * Section 7211 of Title 5, United States Code (governing disclosures to
   Congress);
 * Section 1034 of Title 10, United States Code, as amended by the Military
   Whistleblower Protection Act (governing disclosure to Congress by members of
   the military);
 * Section 2302(b)(8) of Title 5, United States Code, as amended by the
   Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (governing disclosures of illegality,
   waste, fraud, abuse or public health or safety threats);
 * Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982 (50 U.S.C. 421 et seq.)
   (governing disclosures that could expose confidential Government agents);
 * The statutes which protect against disclosure that may compromise the
   national security, including sections 641, 793, 794, 798, and 952, of title
   18, United States Code; and
 * Section 4(b) of the Subversive Activities Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b))
