WASHINGTON (AP) - The Energy Department should improve safeguards to keep foreign scientists who work at government research labs from gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information, the agency watchdog said in a report Wednesday. The report said investigators found that foreigners were "assigned to potentially sensitive projects without authorization" or adequate background checks or checks against lists of banned individuals that are kept by other agencies. The issue of foreigners working at the federal weapons labs has been a sensitive one for years.
