To: Stephen Gould, CEO and Department of Hearings and Appeals
Executive Order 10865 must be followed and abided for it is not an illusion.
In response to Greene, President Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10865 on February 20, 1960. Executive Order 10865 requires a hearing in which contractor employees would be given the opportunity to appear before the decision-maker to confront and cross-examine witnesses and attempt to rebut the Government's case.
Why is this important?
In 2006 Mr. Gould (my former employer) brought many false allegations against me in order for my Top Secret Security Clearance to be suspended because my wife who was ill and pregnant (my son was born with Autism) at the time wanted me to return from Iraq. Mr. Gould wanted me to stay in Iraq but I left with his blessings after he saw I was not going to stay ( my family comes first and this was an emergency) but Mr. Gould was so upset he began retaliating against me with bitter lies.
Judge Leonard of the Department of Hearings and Appeals finally gave me an appointment to appeal my case in 2009 (although I started the documents for the hearing in regards to my suspended Top Secret Clearance in 2006, whatever happen to due process) but he did not abide by Executive Order 10865 which is detailed below.

Executive Order 10865 requires a hearing in which contractor employees would be given the opportunity to appear before the decision-maker to confront and cross-examine witnesses and attempt to rebut the Government's case. Not all cases go to a full hearing because a clearance Applicant has the choice of having a hearing or having the case determined on a record composed of only documentary evidence.
I chose to cross-examine all people who brought charges against me and was under the impression they would be at the hearing but they were not. When I appealed the decision of Judge Leonard to the Department of Hearings and Appeals I was again denied my clearance based on the two false allegations by Mr. Gould, but I could not prove them to be wrong because Mr. Gould was not at the hearing, where I could cross examine him and prove not only the 25 other false allegations he told on me which were thrown out by Judge Leonard were indeed lies but also the only two allegations (false allegations by Mr. Gould) which Judge Leonard saw as being reason enough to deny me my clearance. I have five children and a wife who have suffered tremendously because of Mr. Gould false allegations and Judge Leonard decision not to follow Executive Order 10865. Knowbody is above the law and for 25 false allegations to be thrown out during a Top Secret Clearance Hearing in itself is an injustice because in order to receive a clearance you have to be honest and truthful throughout and Mr. Gould has a Top Secret clearance for his company and he continues to work for our Government which is an insult to our Justice and Security System.
