Whistleblower Groups Urge Senators to Close Loophole in Legislation

Washington, DC, June 15, 2006. Today the heads of two whistleblower advocate groups sent a letter urging the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to close a loophole in pending legislation, the Federal Employee Protection of Disclosure Act. In the letter, the Chairman of the National Whistleblowers Center, Stephen M. Kohn and the Director of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, Sibel Edmonds, explained the potential harm to whistleblowers if this issue is not addressed and expressed their support of the other sections of the bill.
