 2                                           WHITACRE   v. NAVY

 address, in the first instance, Mr. Whitacre’s argument

 Facility and the Personnel Security Appeals Board commit-

     Upon consideration thereof,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The motion is granted. The case is remanded to the
 Board to reconsider its decision consistent with the motion
 and this order.
     (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
