I imagine a lot of the people that have been rejected due to the polygraph at the CIA are affraid to come forward (possibly based on the paranoia that if the CIA found out...it would harm them during the appeals process).

...I was wondering does the CIA (like the FBI) distribute polygraph results to other gov., local, and state agencies?

The following routine uses apply to, and are incorporated by reference
 into, each system of records maintained by the CIA:

 1. In the event that a system of records maintained by the Central
 Intelligence Agency to carry out its functions indicates, or relates
 to, a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal
 or regulatory in nature, and whether arising by general statute or
 particular program pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the
 system of records may be disclosed, as a routine use, to the
 appropriate agency whether federal, state, local or foreign, charged
 with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting such
 violation, or charged with the responsibility to take appropriate
 administrative action, or charged with enforcing or implementing the
 statute, or rule, regulation or order issued pursuant thereto.

 2. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine
 use, to a federal, state or local agency maintaining civil, criminal
 or other relevant enforcement information or other pertinent
 information, such as current licenses, if necessary to obtain
 information relevant to a Central Intelligence Agency decision
 concerning the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a
 security clearance or special access, or the performance of the
 Agency's acquisition functions.

 3. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine
 use, to a federal, state, or local agency, or other appropriate
 entities, or individuals, in connection with the hiring or retention
 of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance or special
 access, the reporting or an investigation of an employee, the letting
 of a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant or other benefit,
 to the extent that the information is relevant and necessary to the
 entity's decision on the matter.

 4. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine
 use, in the course of presenting evidence to a court, magistrate or
 administrative tribunal, including disclosures to opposing parties or
 their counsel or other representatives in the course of settlement
 negotiations, and disclosures made pursuant to statutes or regulations
 governing the conduct of such proceedings.

 5. A record from this system of records may be disclosed to the Office
 of Management and Budget in connection with the review of private
 relief legislation, as set forth in OMB Circular No. A-19, at any
 stage of the legislative coordination and clearance process as set
 forth in the Circular.

 6. A record from a system of records may be disclosed, as a routine
 use, to NARA (GSA) in records management inspections conducted under
 the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.

 7. A record from this system of records may be disclosed, as a routine
 use, to a federal, state, or local agency, other appropriate entities
 or individuals, or, through established liaison channels, to selected
 foreign governments, provided such disclosure is compatible with the
 purpose for which the purpose for which the record was collected and
 is undertaken to enable the Central Intelligence Agency to carry out
 its responsibilities under the National Security Act of 1947, as
 amended, the CIA Act of 1949, as amended, Executive Order 12333 or any
 successor order, national security directives applicable to the Agency
 and classified implementing procedures approved by the Attorney
 General promulgated pursuant to such Orders and directives, as well as
 statutes, Executive orders and directives of general applicability.
 This routine use is not intended to supplant the other routine uses
 published by the Central Intelligence Agency.
