DOE Security Chief Takes Polygraph


ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The Energy Department's new head of security says
requiring nuclear weapons workers to take lie detector tests is no big deal.

To prove it, he took one himself.

``I passed it with flying colors,'' Eugene Habiger told reporters hours
after taking the test at the department's Albuquerque field office Thursday.
He said laboratory workers shouldn't have to do anything he wouldn't do.

In June, the Energy Department announced plans to give polygraph tests to
some 5,000 workers in sensitive nuclear weapons jobs, part of a broad
initiative to beef up security after widely publicized accusations of leaks
to the Chinese.

Some lab workers objected to the polygraph testing, fearing that errors
might incriminate innocent people.

Habiger dismissed those concerns, saying the way the tests are being set up,
there should be fewer than one error in 1,000.

``This is not a big deal,'' the retired Air Force general said.

Habiger, named in June to head security at the department, was in
Albuquerque this week to meet with officials at Sandia National Laboratories
and the department's operations Office.
