- <p> THE SHREDDER, PLEASE
- </p>
- <p> The Federal Emergency Management Agency is charged with
- taking care of disasters, natural or man-made. Last week it
- scrambled to remedy one of its own making. Director Wallace
- Stickney announced that FEMA had shredded a 1991 list of eight
- gay employees that an openly gay fema analyst had been pressured
- to provide in exchange for a security clearance. In April FEMA
- promised that the names would stay locked in a vault. But when
- Representative Barney Frank threatened to hold hearings if FEMA
- did not destroy the list, Stickney relented, calling the list
- "abhorrent."
