There are just too many of them.<BR/><BR/><BR/>URL: http://www.abqjournal.com/north/181281north_news05-30-04.htm<BR/><BR/>Sunday, May 30, 2004<BR/>Lab Worker Aided FBI in Theft Case<BR/>By Adam Rankin<BR/>Journal Staff Writer<BR/> For months, John Jennings led two lives. <BR/> On the surface, the longtime Los Alamos National Laboratory employee continued his relationship with his boss, Peter Bussolini, whom he viewed as a mentor and father figure. <BR/> For his part, Bussolini seemed to encourage that relationship, alternately praising and criticizing Jennings and referring to him as his "son" in various communications. <BR/> But at the same time, Jennings was tormented by the work he secretly performed for the FBI, which was investigating suspected fraud and theft of laboratory property. Many of those allegations centered on Bussolini, and Jennings reported to federal agents many of the specifics that contributed to Bussolini's firing in December 2002. <BR/> The double life lasted only seven weeks, from Sept. 13 through Oct. 31, but Jennings said during this period he was so stressed he gained 10 pounds a week. <BR/> "I was eating to kind of numb my feelings and hide what I knew," he said. <BR/> The 67-year-old Bussolini, who was earning $150,000 a year at the time he was fired, and Scott Alexander, 42, a purchaser who worked for him, were both indicted last week on 28 federal counts of theft, fraud and other charges. <BR/> The charges stem from allegations that the two used their positions of power, influence and familiarity with LANL's procurement system to illegally buy more than $328,000 worth of equipment, some for their own use, between February 2001 and October 2002. <BR/> Gear found by LANL officials included high-end barbecue grills, night-vision binoculars, TVs and thousands of dollars worth of military knives. <BR/> "Jennings was a key player in bringing the house of cards down," said Glenn Walp, former LANL head of security investigations. <BR/> Until now, Jennings, 54, says he was loyal above all to the laboratory, where he has worked for 28 years— and, by extension, to his boss, Bussolini. <BR/> Jennings worked under Bussolini for close to a decade, most recently as a safety specialist. He repeatedly refused interview requests, saying the time wasn't right. <BR/> Now he blames the laboratory for turning on him— even though he revealed to the FBI what he knew about the man he once considered "family." <BR/> And that, he says, is why he now has agreed to tell his story. <BR/> 'Unwilling participant'<BR/><BR/> Blinded by his affection and loyalty to Bussolini, Jennings said he unwittingly helped transport about eight boxes of lab-bought equipment and patio furniture to Bussolini's home in 2001 before becoming suspicious. <BR/> Transporting the boxes is the biggest factor in LANL's decision to reprimand Jennings for failing to adequately safeguard lab property, even though LANL investigators conclude: "In the final analysis, it appears that Jennings was nothing more than an unwilling participant to the extent he assisted (Bussolini's) misconduct." <BR/> LANL spokesman James Rickman said LANL officials responded to the situation appropriately: they fired Bussolini and Alexander and gave Jennings a formal reprimand. <BR/> The reprimand will stay in his personnel file for two years, then disappear without negative consequence as long as he is not involved in another incident. <BR/> "Mr. Jennings stopped transporting materials to Mr. Bussolini's house after becoming suspect of the transfers but failed to report that to Laboratory officials at the time," according to LANL's reprimand of Jennings. <BR/> Jennings is challenging the lab's findings. <BR/> Work relationship<BR/><BR/> The last time Jennings saw Bussolini was the day his boss was put on investigative leave on Oct. 31, 2002. Bussolini hung up the phone after being called into the office of their division director, Jennings said. <BR/> " 'I hope to God you had nothing to do with him calling me,' '' Jennings said Bussolini told him. <BR/> Jennings said he didn't. <BR/> "'Cause I'd kill you if you did,' '' Jennings said Bussolini replied. <BR/> Bussolini, who has not returned repeated phone calls seeking comment and declined an interview when a reporter knocked on his door months ago, is suspected of doing "enormously inappropriate things" to Jennings at various times, according to LANL witnesses quoted in an internal investigation. <BR/> The report noted LANL witnesses said Bussolini "played upon Jennings' weaknesses and manipulated him into doing his bidding, and constantly threatened Jennings' job." <BR/> Bussolini was highly respected and well liked in Los Alamos. He was on the board of trustees for the Los Alamos United Way, and he won environmental engineering awards at the laboratory. <BR/> But according to LANL's internal report on Jennings, Bussolini played mind games with Jennings, sometimes berating him— one day he poured Coke all over Jennings' desk as Jennings sat there, watching him— then complimenting him. <BR/> Jennings said Bussolini would often encourage him, tell him he loved to see him at work early and lingering late at night, told him he couldn't do his job without him. <BR/> "I eat that stuff up more than I do a paycheck, you know?" Jennings said. <BR/> "The guy (Jennings) had a very low self-esteem, and he basically wanted to be accepted by everyone," especially by Bussolini, said Steve Doran, a LANL security specialist working in cooperation with the FBI at the time, in a phone interview with the Journal. <BR/> Doran and his boss, Walp, were both fired from LANL in November 2002 and later settled out-of-court claims that they were fired in retaliation for trying to expose the wrongdoing. <BR/> "Bussolini basically acted like a father figure to John, and I believe John, at that particular point in time, would have done anything for Bussolini," Doran said. <BR/> On Oct. 4, 2002, just weeks before the FBI would search his home, RV and office, Bussolini sent an e-mail to Jennings. <BR/> He wrote, "I need you to be the 'rock of Gibralter (sic)' right now for me ... You are still my 'son' so don't worry and be happy." <BR/> Within this context, Jennings says he tried to do the right thing, but it was hard— painfully hard. <BR/> He knew Bussolini and respected him. He knew Bussolini's wife, Lee. <BR/> 'I feel betrayed'<BR/><BR/> Jennings moved to Los Alamos in 1960 and went to school with Lee's younger sister. And Jennings recalled an incident in which his daughter had been badly injured in an automobile accident years earlier. Jennings said Lee Bussolini— a Los Alamos nurse— administered CPR to his daughter in the back of an ambulance en route to Santa Fe. <BR/> "(Jennings) basically feels like whatever Bussolini says is law," Doran said in describing Jennings' allegiance to Bussolini. <BR/> But eventually, Doran said, Jennings saw things were going wrong. Things started to change when Alexander, who grew up across the street from Bussolini in White Rock, became Bussolini's "boy" over Jennings, Doran said. <BR/> Jennings said the turning point came the day he made his final delivery of boxes to Bussolini's house. Bussolini's daughter asked Jennings, "So, you're stealing for my daddy?" <BR/> But it was still several months before Jennings would report anything to LANL officials. <BR/> Not until May 2002 did Jennings go to Walp and make the first vague allegations that something was wrong. <BR/> Several days later, Jennings said he went to LANL's Audits and Assessments division to tell officials there they should look into a blanket purchase agreement that had little oversight or accountability. <BR/> "Two hours after I went there, Pete found out that I talked to them, so that started making life get miserable," Jennings said. <BR/> But Jennings said things took another turn for the worse once he started cooperating with the FBI in September. He said he felt like he was betraying a man he loved. <BR/> Jennings' eyes filled with tears as he described a confrontation with Bussolini in which his boss sought assurances that Jennings was keeping quiet about the things he knew. <BR/> "He said, 'Look me in the eyes, John, and tell me nothing's wrong.' '' <BR/> Jennings told him, "Nothing's wrong," but the stress of the confrontation ended with Jennings retching outside the building afterward. <BR/> "I had to keep lying to Pete," he said. "(FBI agent Jeff) Campbell said I didn't have any choice. I didn't want this to be part of my job." <BR/> But it was, and LANL officials don't think he did it well enough. <BR/> By accepting Bussolini's claims that he paid for the items himself, "Jennings essentially turned a blind eye to the possibility that (Bussolini) had obtained the items inappropriately," according to LANL's report. <BR/> To Jennings, a year short of retirement, this conclusion is a stain on what he says is an otherwise-unblemished record that has left him angry and hurt. <BR/> "I feel betrayed by the laboratory because I have really lost so much and stuck my neck out so much," he said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-68099612464905463032007-06-02T16:03:00.000-06:002007-06-02T16:03:00.000-06:00After reading some of the Hook-bashing in this blo...After reading some of the Hook-bashing in this blog I think it's fair to say that had Jesus Christ worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in today’s climate, the outcome for him would have been no different than it was in his day.

Might it have been Hook who brought to light the Graceland Fiasco which housed LANL Government Property people inside one of the actual buildings in question who actually said: "we don't care because the $1-2M worth of stuff we were literally standing in was all less than $5K on a unit cost basis". Was it Tommy Hook who pointed out that it wasn't just the risk of theft but the the misappopriation of funds involving padded Work Order material estimates approved by LANL & its major facilites contractor senior management in order to have more chargeable time for union employees and friends and brothers for largely non-productive work. Was it Tommy Hook who filed numerous complaints on the gross overcharging of labor to some facilities work orders using "free" uncontrolled materials to create those extra chargeable labor hours for friends and neighbors. Do ya think it was Tommy who reported that a major lab subcontractor was unfairly benfitting from the above examples in the form of extra profit for great cost control when in fact it was grossly overrunning budgets. Do you think Tommy might have been involved in exposing the risk for huge Price Anderson violation potential with the mega amount of uncontrolled materials/tools lying around LANL which no-one can verify have or have not been used been used in NQA1 or safety related work.

It was later split into two cases, with one representing both female and Hispanic employees. The cases were certified by the court as a class actions on behalf of all female and Hispanic employees who worked at the laboratory between December 2000 and the present, who can demonstrate they shared similar situations.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The complaints were settled during arduous, "sometimes contentious," and difficult negotiation over the last year, even with the help of two mediators, said attorney Patrick Allen, who represented Laura Barber, on behalf of female employees. Allen is with the firm Yenson, Lynn, Allen & <BR/>Wosick.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"This settlement comes at a critical moment for one of the nation's most prominent national laboratories." Barber said in a prepared statement, "We are confident that this settlement will send a message to the current and future operator of Los Alamos National Laboratory, as well as other government contractors, that women are entitled to equal pay for equal work."<BR/><BR/><BR/>The other complaint, based on violations of the New Mexico Human Rights Act and the Equal Pay Act, was brought on behalf of Yolanda Garcia, Loyda <BR/>Martinez, Gloria Bennett, Yvonne Ebelacker, Hispanic Roundtable of New Mexico and the University Professional and Technical Employees union. This group was <BR/>represented by John C. Bienvenu of Rothstein, Donatelli, Hughes, Dahlstrom, Schoenburg & Bienvenu.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The laboratory denied culpability. "According to the settlement agreement, the laboratory expressly disputes any allegation of discrimination or wrongdoing and does not admit any liability."<BR/><BR/><BR/>The settlement includes both monetary and non-monetary aspects, he said. Monetary compensation will be determined through the claims process and include both compensatory damages and back-wages for females and Hispanics <BR/>who qualify.<BR/><BR/><BR/>As many as 5,000 people would be in the class, Allen said, but it would be fairly speculative to predict how many will apply or be eligible for damages.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Non-monetary aspects of the settlement include the laboratory's agreement to <BR/>rework how they are going to pay new hires, the basis of some of the past salary issues.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The laboratory also agreed to implement a child care program by the end of the contract, Allen said. He added that it was expected that these changes would carry over to the new contractor.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The suit grew out of a history of complaints, including evidence of <BR/>discrimination against Hispanic employees charged in an informal survey by <BR/>the Hispanic Round Table in 2001, and a study by the General Accounting <BR/>Office (now called Government Accountability Office), indicating inequities <BR/>for minorities and white women.<BR/><BR/><BR/>In 2003, the laboratory commissioned a study, known as the Welch Report that found pay equity discrepancies between men and women and between whites and <BR/>Hispanics in four job categories.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Department of Energy, Harrington said, has signed off on the settlement and it will be considered an allowable cost under the current contract, for which UC will be compensated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-67183085727741134632007-05-31T16:34:00.000-06:002007-05-31T16:34:00.000-06:00Drug testing is the least of the Lab's problems. ...Drug testing is the least of the Lab's problems.
