                                 A BILL


 
 To direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program under 
 which the Secretary shall use classified commercial shared spaces and 
 professionalize industrial security protections for shared sensitive 
     compartmented information facility and subject matter experts.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PILOT PROGRAM ON USE OF CLASSIFIED 
              COMMERCIAL SHARED SPACES AND PROFESSIONALIZE INDUSTRIAL 
              SECURITY PROTECTIONS FOR SHARED SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED 
              INFORMATION FACILITY AND SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the process of obtaining and 
maintaining a facility clearance and the appropriate industrial 
security protections is a major burden on non-traditional defense 
contractors, and as a result, such contractors are often disadvantaged 
when it comes to performing and competing for classified work.
    (b) Pilot Program.--The Secretary of Defense shall carry out a 
pilot program under which the Secretary shall use classified commercial 
shared spaces and professionalize industrial security protections for 
shared sensitive compartmented information facility and subject matter 
experts.
