Authorizes the Secretary of Defense to terminate employment of any civilian officer or employee when it is in the interest of the United States. Title VI: Representation Counterintelligence and Official Representation - Expresses the sense of the Congress that the numbers, status, privileges and immunities within the United States of official representatives of any foreign government engaged in intelligence activities harmful to U.S. security should not exceed the respective numbers, status, privileges and immunities within such country of official representatives of the United States.
