Washington a president Reagan announced wednesday he will not sign a whistle Blower Bill aimed at protecting workers who expose Feder Al waste and mismanagement. The president exercising his pocket veto Power said the measure had constitutional problems and would hamper legitimate discipline of Federal employees. I regret that the Congress did not present me with constitutional and effective legislation to expand the protections and procedural rights afforded to Federal employees who report fraud waste and abuse they discover in Federal programs Reagan s memorandum said. He said he would submit his own Bill in january when Congress convenes. Sponsors said the whistle Blower Bill was needed because the office of special counsel established to represent the interests of whistle blowers was no doing its Job. The Bill was designed to reverse Deci Sions of courts and the Merit systems Protection Board a Federal judicial Agency that made it difficult for whistle blowers to win their cases. The Bill would have made the office of special counsel an Independent Agency and would have de fined its role clearly As one of protecting whistle blow ers. The office now is part of Fth Meril systems Protection Board and at times it has proceeded against whistle blowers who came to the office for help. Reagan said he opposed provisions in the Bill that would have altered the Burden of proof in whistle Blower cases. The measure would Nave required an employee to show Only thai the Agency s knowledge of the whistle blowing was a Factor in his or her punish ment rather than a significant or dominant Factor As required undercurrent Law agencies also would have had to show by Clear and convincing evidence that the same disciplinary Deci Sion would have occurred in the absence of any whistle blowing. The change essentially rigs the Board s process against Agency personnel managers in favor of employees the president said. Reagan also said the Bill would have caused constitutional problems because it would have allowed executive Branch agencies to go to court against each president has the Power to resolve disputes be tween his subordinates he said.
