At least 18 pieces of “computer processing equipment,” including at least one laptop, are missing from the Energy 
Department’s Office of Intelligence (IN), and department officials do not know whether any of it was used for or 
contained classified information, according to a new report from DOE’s inspector general.

The report [.pdf], titled “Internal Controls Over Sensitive Property in the Office of Intelligence,” was posted on the 
IG’s Web site late last week.

“During our field work we identified numerous discrepancies regarding the program office’s sensitive property 
inventory,” IG Gregory Friedman wrote. “[W]e worked extensively with program officials during the course of the review 
in an effort to reconcile the inventory discrepancies and strengthen inventory controls. Nevertheless, problems still 
remained at the conclusion of our review.”
