We prepared and submitted a "voluminous" response for Applicant documenting: gross distortion/fabrication of allegations; miss-statements in investigator's summary of comments attributed to the sources of the allegations; demonstration of whistle blower retaliatory actions by former supervisors in an effort to use security clearance mechanism to "get back" at applicant; and clarification of delayed receipt of filed tax returns (vice not filing of tax returns) with no outstanding credit issues against applicant which resulted in clearance being granted to applicant. Action also taken to have unsupported allegations removed from Applicant's OPM Investigative file in order to preclude ability to use this unsupported information in future clearance adjudication procedures.
