[thelist] re: security clearances

From

 A security clearance cannot be privately applied for. You or your
 organization must hold a government contract that requires you to have
 a security clearance. The government will then sponsor, as necessary,
 appropriate background investigations to help you achieve a security
 clearance.

 More information about this process is provided below and comes from
 the Defense Security Service (DSS) website at
