Decision List No. 70

Week of January 26 through January 30, 1998

Appeal
Charles G. Frazier, 1/28/98, VFA-0361

    Charles G. Frazier (Appellant) filed an Appeal of a Determination 
issued to him by the Department of Energy (DOE) in response to a 
request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In its 
determination, the Chicago Field Office (Chicago) claimed that the 
requested information was not an ``agency record.'' Chicago asserted 
that the requested appointment books were created for the convenience 
of the individual officials not for an agency purpose. The Office of 
Hearings and Appeals determined that these documents were not ``agency 
records'' and, therefore, not subject to the FOIA. Accordingly, the DOE 
denied the Appeal.
Personnel Security Hearing
Personnel Security Hearing, 1/29/98, VSO-0179

    A Hearing Officer found that an individual had successfully shown 
rehabilitation from his grief-related alcohol abuse. Accordingly, the 
Hearing Officer recommended in the Opinion that the individual's access 
authorization be restored.
