DoE Weapons Laboratories: Actions Needed to Strengthen EEO Oversight

Abstract

Allegations of racial profiling at the Department of Energy's (DoE) weapons laboratories, raised most notably in the 1999 case of Dr. Wen Ho Lee, an Asian American accused of espionage, have called into question the equitable treatment of minorities and women in personnel actions at these laboratories in areas such as hiring, pay, and promotion. Responding to these concerns, the former secretary of energy reiterated the department's position of zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind and stated that he expected and required full compliance with both the spirit and letter of all civil rights laws, regulations, and policies. The current secretary has reaffirmed this commitment for DoE and its contractor employees.
