Help wanted: classification czar needed for oversight of national security secrecy system

The government is looking for a person to oversee, and perhaps sometimes to
overrule, classification decisions made throughout the Executive Branch.

A job opening <https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/430180100> for
the position of Director of the Information Security Oversight Office
<http://www.archives.gov/isoo/> (ISOO) was announced in *USA Jobs*
<https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/430180100> last week.

The ISOO director is appointed by the Archivist of the United States, since
ISOO is housed at the National Archives. But ISOO takes policy direction
<http://www.archives.gov/isoo/> from the National Security Council, and the
director’s authority over classification and declassification policy
extends throughout the executive branch.  The previous ISOO director
<https://fas.org/blogs/secrecy/2016/01/isoo-fitzpatrick/>, John P.
Fitzpatrick, left for the National Security Council in January.
