Personnel Security Hearing
Oakridge Operations Office, 9/4/96, VSO-0091
An OHA Hearing Officer issued an Opinion regarding the eligibility
of an Individual to maintain access authorization under the provisions
of 10 CFR Part 710. After considering the Individual's testimony and
the record, the Hearing Officer first found that the Individual had
used an illegal drug, cocaine. The Hearing Officer also found the
Individual to have two illnesses or mental conditions (Cocaine Abuse
and Personality Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified) that in the opinion
of a board-certified psychiatrist cause, or may cause, a significant
defect in his judgment or reliability. In view of the Individual's
positive drug test for cocaine, his personality disorder and his
failure to file federal tax returns for several years, the Hearing
Officer found that the Individual had engaged in unusual conduct or was
subject to circumstances which tend to show that he is not honest,
reliable, or trustworthy; or which furnishes reason to believe that he
may be subject to pressure, coercion, exploitation, or duress which may
cause him to act contrary to the best interests of the national
security. Further, the Hearing Officer did not find sufficient evidence
rebutting the derogatory information or mitigating the security
concerns. Accordingly, the Hearing Officer recommended that the
Individual's access authorization not be restored.
