-
- A Las Vegas television station on Monday lost a bid to unseal material
- connected to a lawsuit against government officials filed by former workers at
- the U.S. Air Force operating location near Groom Lake.
-
- U.S. District Judge Philip Pro rejected a motion by KLAS-TV, Channel 8, to
- unseal the transcript of and documents related to a June 20 hearing regarding
- the litigation.
-
- Despite the setback, Pro granted the station's request for status as a
- legitimately interested party in the case for purposes of challenging his
- orders.
-
- The station had also sought edited versions of the documents, saying national
- security could be protected without such a sweeping sealing of all material.
-
- Pro, in his order, agreed with an idea that the military had proposed - that
- edited versions of the documents be provided after the litigation had been
- completed.
-
- The workers claim they suffered various injuries as a result of exposure to
- hazardous wastes at the base, 35 miles west of Alamo.
