What foreign activity requires reporting for individuals with top-secret access?

The requirement to report foreign activities for individuals with top-secret access is primarily concerned with any actions that could potentially compromise national security or create conflicts of interest. The application for foreign citizenship is particularly significant because it represents a legal commitment to another country and can raise concerns about loyalty, divided loyalties, or potential influence by a foreign entity. This is especially sensitive for those holding top-secret access, as their allegiance to the U.S. government is paramount.

Travel to international conferences, participation in global trade fairs, and advising foreign governments may be important and could also require reporting under certain conditions or contexts, but they do not carry the same level of potential impact on national security and personal loyalty as the act of applying for foreign citizenship. The latter inherently suggests a desire to change one’s allegiance or receive benefits from another country, which is why it necessitates immediate reporting.
