[Decision List No. 55] Week of October 13 Through October 17, 1997

Appeal

Dr. Daniel D. Eggers, 10/4/97; VFA-0332

    Dr. Daniel D. Eggers Appealed a Determination issued to him in 
response to a request he submitted under the Freedom of Information Act 
for documents generated in connection with a patient his father, a DOE 
contractor employee, had filed in the 1940s. In its Determination, the 
Oak Ridge Operations Office (Oak Ridge) found that the DOE could not 
locate any responsive documents. On appeal, the DOE found that adequate 
search was adequate, because the Appellant had provided insufficiently 
specific information to enable Oak Ridge to focus its search. However, 
DOE determined that the Appellant possessed more specific information 
that might permit Oak Ridge to narrow its search and locate responsive 
documents. Therefore, OHA granted the Appeal remanded the matter to Oak 
Ridge for a further search.

Personnel Security Hearing

the DOE established that the individual suffers from alcohol abuse and 
had not mitigated the security concerns by sufficient evidence of 
rehabilitation and reformation.
