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