BLOCKED AN INVESTIGATION
OF EDWARD "PETE" ALDRIDGE AT LOCKHEED
http://www.epic-usa.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1858
Another case in which Schmitz intervened came when the
inspector general's office began examining the jobs
received by Pentagon officials who left for the
private sector, according to another U.S. official,
who also declined to be identified because of the
sensitivity of the issue. One of those on the list was
Edward "Pete" Aldridge, the former Pentagon
procurement chief who took a job with defense
contractor Lockheed Martin. Schmitz would not sign a
subpoena allowing investigators to examine employment
documents, the official said. Instead, the official
said that Schmitz created a new policy that made it
more difficult to get information by subpoena by
requiring additional bureaucratic steps. During his
tenure, Schmitz also made it harder to initiate an
investigation of a political appointee, requiring
high-ranking approval before investigators could
proceed. A Lockheed Martin spokesman confirmed the
company had received a request that the firm
"voluntarily provide" information regarding Aldridge.
It said it had "promptly and fully" responded to the
request....
