Decision List No. 93

Appeal

Karen Coleman Wiltshire, 7/6/98, VFA-0422

    The Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Decision and Order (D&O) 
denying a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeal that was filed by 
Karen Coleman Wiltshire. In her Appeal, Ms. Wiltshire challenged the 
adequacy of the search for responsive documents. In the Decision, the 
OHA found that the search was adequate.

Personnel Security Hearing

Personnel Security Hearing, 7/9/98, VSO-0194

    A Hearing Officer issued an Opinion regarding the eligibility of an 
individual to maintain an access authorization under the provisions of 
10 CFR Part 710. The DOE Personnel Security Division alleged that the 
individual engaged in unusual conduct that showed the individual is not 
honest, reliable, or trustworthy or is subject to coercion that may 
cause the individual to act contrary to the best interests of national 
security. See 10 CFR Sec. 710.8 (l). The parties convened for an 
evidentiary hearing in which seven witnesses testified. After carefully 
examining the record of the proceeding, the Hearing Officer determined 
that the individual had failed to mitigate security concerns connected 
with his acts of domestic violence. Accordingly, the Hearing Officer 
recommended that DOE Security not restore the individual's access 
authorization.
