What the record says
3. Wells — incorrect background material can infect a later evaluation · Batch 22
- Source account
- Key: 1991-US-KS-WELLS-85ERA22. Official digest SUPPORTS a finding in Wells v. Kansas Gas & Electric, 85-ERA-22, Secretary 21 March 1991. A security-clearance psychologist received inaccurate or unexplained background information already implicated in a successful whistleblower complaint, without context concerning that complaint and reinstatement. The employer used the recommendation to discharge the worker three months after reinstatement. The Secretary found the evaluation invalid in the context of the earlier reinstatement/expungement order and an ERA violation for noncompliance. The digest's editor reports the later appeal was dismissed but explicitly lacks the dismissal order. This connects the 85-ERA-22 proceeding to 83-ERA-12 in the agency's account, strengthening the litigation-family link. It does not independently confirm the person's full identity or engineering qualifications. Keep it outside the engineer count pending role verification.
