This is a good short piece about how USIS was born out of a cost-cutting measure in the department of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Clinton administration (when the Cold War had ended), and how the private industry background investigations and employee management are now handled (at a time when national security and domestic and international terrorism are major areas of concern).
