Congresswoman Asks For Investigation
Colorado Representative
Marilyn Musgrave has asked the FAA's Marion Blakey to personally
investigate sexual harassment allegations against an FAA
supervisor.
A letter from Musgrave to Blakey, obtained by the Longmont Daily
Times-Call, claims Paul Conway, an operations supervisor at
Denver's Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) has been
repeatedly reported for sexual harassment. In her letter, Musgrave
asks why Conway hasn't been fired despite complaints going back to
1997.
The Times-Call also received a copy of a letter of reprimand
Conway received from a Denver air traffic manager in March 2005 for
"inappropriate sexual conduct by a supervisor." The reprimand
directed that Conway serve a two-week suspension.
According to the Times-Call, the reprimand came after three
separate incidents involving Conway's inappropriate behavior with
subordinates.
Musgrave berated the two-week suspension as "insulting" compared
to the offenses saying, “Positions at the FAA are of utmost
importance to our nation and any compromise of an employee’s
integrity is a threat to our public safety and national
security.”
She also questions why Conway continues to earn more than
$150,000 annually despite what's happened.
Musgrave spokesman Aaron Johnson wonders, “Why is it that
what he's done is not cause for dismissal? What does it take to get
dismissed from a federal agency?”
He says Musgrave isn't looking to get Conway fired immediately,
she just wants him suspended until a more thorough investigation of
the allegations can be completed.
