<p> THE SHREDDER, PLEASE
</p>
<p> The Federal Emergency Management Agency is charged with
taking care of disasters, natural or man-made. Last week it
scrambled to remedy one of its own making. Director Wallace
Stickney announced that FEMA had shredded a 1991 list of eight
gay employees that an openly gay fema analyst had been pressured
to provide in exchange for a security clearance. In April FEMA
promised that the names would stay locked in a vault. But when
Representative Barney Frank threatened to hold hearings if FEMA
did not destroy the list, Stickney relented, calling the list
"abhorrent."
