Bush May scrap for people Deni Washington a the Bush administration is weighing a proposed presidential order that would allow Security officers to deny clearances and thus jobs to applicants for Federal and defense Industry posts without stating reasons or giving them rights to respond. The proposed order would eliminate a series of rights accorded to government and defense workers and Job applicants for 29 years. A copy of the proposed order was obtained thursday night by the associated press. David Holliday spokesman for the Senate intelligence committee said staff employees had reviewed the draft and told administration representatives in december that at the staff level we might have trouble with sections of the document. The 21-Page document was circulated for comment to 30 Federal agencies Jan. 24. It would authorize Security officers to determine whether a worker or an applicant has exploitable vulnerabilities or has engaged in any exploitable conduct or indiscreet behaviour including criminal or dishonest activity alcohol or substance abuse or exploitable sexual  under this order it s quite conceivable that someone like John Tower could not get a Security clearance for a Pentagon Job because he would have no right to learn about much less respond to the allegations of alcohol rights appeals de Security oks abuse and womanizing that have been made against him said Allan Adler of the american civil liberties Union. The order would replace one issued by president Eisen Hower in 1960 that guaranteed any worker in private Industry whose Security clearance was denied or revoked a written statement of the reasons for the action. An Opportunity to reply in writing. The right to appear personally with a lawyer before the head of the Agency to contest the decision. The right to Cross examine either orally or in writing those who made statements against him. A written statement of the final decision on each allegation. Defense department regulations have accorded similar rights to the Pentagon s civilian and military workers. The proposed order would guarantee none of those rights to a Job applicant denied an initial clearance or to a current worker denied a higher clearance. For current workers whose clearance was revoked the proposed Bush order would guarantee Only a written explanation of the reasons. An Opportunity to respond in writing and request review of the revocation. Written notice of the results of the review. An Opportunity to Appeal in writing to a higher offi Cial whose decision would be final
