European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 31, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 4 the stars and stripes sunday july 31, 1994proposed harassment rules assailed by Cindy Killion Washington Bureau Washington filing a sexual harassment complaint could Lead to faster promotions and Plum assignments for female service members if proposed changes in regulations become Law predicted a group that studies military personnel policy. Additions that prohibit retaliation against women who file sexual harassment complaints will a virtually guarantee Only positive career actions such As promotions desirable assignments and inflated performance evaluations Quot regardless of the Validity of the charges said Elaine Donnelly president of the Center for military readiness. The conservative analysis Center which is not a Federal Agency released its report monday. The proposed changes in military sexual harassment policies Are included in next year s defense authorization Bill. When a Compromise Bill is agreed upon it will go before the full House and Senate. The final vote is expected in late september. The changes threaten to create a new policy that could backfire to create serious morale and readiness problems the report said. Also these additions will have a a a chilling effect Quot on every male commanders ability to Lead and manage his unit the report said. The retaliation clause of each Bill says in effect that commanders May not take or threaten to take an unfavourable personnel action As a reprisal against a serv ice member who has filed a complaint with such authorities As an inspector general an equal Opportunity officer or a member of Congress. A but terms that Are key to the legis. Lations meaning and intent such As the phrase a unfavourable action Are vague and undefined. Therefore unfavourable action would Likely be whatever the complainant says it is Quot the report said. A so every time an alleged victim of harassment demands special treatment a commander would be justified in fearing charges of reprisal that could ruin his Ca reer a Donnelly said. This will Force commanders to Analyse every action Job assignment or even school recommendation that involves a woman and needlessly distract commanders from their priority Mission of leading a combat ready unit. Some commanders Donnelly said will avoid the pitfall by giving rubber stamp approvals to every woman in their commands. This in turn will create the impression a or reality a that military women will not be allowed to fail Donnelly said. And that impression she said will drive a wedge Between the sexes which will in turn hamper the combat effectiveness. A the Bill could ultimately endanger lives because it would encourage politically sensitive High officials members of Congress and the Media to second guess commanders decisions a she said a the lesson would be even greater during wartime when routine command decisions such As grounding of some flight Crew members could be perceived As unlawful retaliation against a sexual harassment complaint a Donnelly said. The Bottom line she said is that the proposed changes might be Fine for the civilian world but will not work in the military. There a no need to change current policy she said. A first the right to file petitions for justified corrections in ones personnel record already exists a she said. A and encouraging service members to file complaints with a Long list of parties outside the Chain of command a including Congress a politicized and delays effective Resolution of the problem. In the end cases caused by these delays must be referred Back to individual  a. A the answer Donnelly said is to discipline the commander responsible when unlawful discrimination harassment or retaliation occurs a but Only after All sides Are heard and everyone a rights Are  Camp Darby Pov list editors note a listed below Are the names of service members whose privately owned vehicles Are available for pickup at the 1321st medium port Comdr a vehicle processing Center at leghorn army depot in Italy.
