Glenn Walp Profile: Among the breaches reported to Congress:

# A set of master keys went missing for more than a week - keys that even unlock the glass doors leading to the nuclear reactors.

# Lab workers got caught taking pictures in a highly classified area, but before internal investigators could get to the computer where the pictures were stored, someone battered it to bits with a sledgehammer - with the specific approval of a lab vice president.

# And, security forces have been caught sleeping on the job, turning off alarms and stealing and selling lab computers.

In April of this year, Sandia Vice President Don Blanton downplayed any problems at an internal meeting.

"We had an incident involving folks snoozing on the job," Blanton said.

SPEAKING OF THE HOLIDAYS, WE WERE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE, DURING THE HOLIDAY season, Soledad O'Brien, the co-host of the Saturday version of the NBC Today Show and a young mother, having a good laugh interviewing some models for Abercrombie & Fitch who were at a store wearing nothing but underwear. "Good luck with the campaign," she said. "Now go put some clothes on." Abercrombie & Fitch is an old firm that has decided to use sex to sell its line of clothing. They use scantily dressed and even nude models, male and female, to attract attention. Scantily dressed muscular males and curvaceous female models are shown in suggestive poses in Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs and ads. It works. They are a fast-growing chain with 250 stores. Their Christmas catalog is titled "Naughty or Nice." Their catalogs are so provocative that two years ago, Jennifer Granholm, who was then Michigan's attorney general, sent them a letter pointing out that its holiday catalog contained sexual material that could not be distributed to minors under Michigan law.

Glenn Walp Services The lab had a purchasing order agreement worth $2.7 million with Mesa Equipment and Supply of Albuquerque, NM. With Bussolini's approval, Alexander was authorized to buy air compressors, vacuum systems, machine tools and machine shop supplies, most likely in support of the division's programs to develop sophisticated bio-warfare agent detectors, arms control monitoring and verification sensors, and other highly sensitive national security technical projects.

About Glenn Walp Jay Coghlan, a longtime Los Alamos critic and director of Nuclear Watch of New Mexico, said Walp's settlement might weaken that barricade a little.

"I hope this helps persuade others to shake up the labs," Coghlan said. "They should know if they have a credible case there are a lot of folks out there who would gladly protect them."

Despite his newfound financial status, Walp isn't taking it easy. He said he's working on a book on his experiences at Los Alamos, finishing up a PhD and applying for several criminal justice jobs -- including chief of the Tampa Bay police department in Florida.

Glenn Walp Profile Walp and Doran were brought in over the summer of 2002 to examine these charges. But the pair quickly ran afoul of the lab's management, with Walp and Doran accusing their bosses of interfering with their investigations and of stymieing the FBI's attempts to get to the bottom of the fraud allegations.

Glenn Walp Website Local counsel J. Gary Gwilliam out of Oakland, CA added, "This settlement confirms what has been said at Congressional hearings, by government investigations, shown in private lawsuits: There is a culture of retaliation at these Laboratories against anyone who stands up against management. Hopefully Glenn Walp's courage in taking on the University of California and their Laboratory will be the beginning of some necessary changes in management."
