or order issued pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of 
records may be referred, as a routine use, to the agency concerned,

responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such violation or 
charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation, 
or order issued pursuant thereto.
    Congressional Inquiries Disclosure Routine Use: Disclosure from a 
system of records maintained by a DoD Component may be made to a 
congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an 
inquiry from the congressional office made at the request of that 
individual.

record from a system of records maintained by a DoD Component may be

suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of the 
information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) the 
Component has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed 
compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, 
identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this 
system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by the 
Component or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised 
information; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, 
and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the 
Components efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise 
and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
