I had a situation a few years ago at the facility I was working at, where a very high-ranking officer wanted to conduct a top-secret meeting at our facility. At the time, one of my titles was Facility Security Officer, which means anything to do with personal or facility clearances I am involved in. At the time, my director and manager were traveling, so this very high-ranking officer came to me and wanted to conduct the meeting there that day. I had to say no. It was difficult. I was under a lot of pressure to say yes, but with the amount of time that I would have had to prepare and to get the room ready for such a meeting, there was just no time. The risks involved were too great. Maybe there are some FSOs out there that would have taken on that meeting. I did not feel good about it. I knew that any preparation I did would not be 100 percent, and I knew, again, that had anything not gone well or gone right or gone according to the checklist of things that I would have had to complete, that I would have been held responsible and my company would have been held responsible. I knew that that was not worth the risk. When my manager and director returned from their travels, they approved of my decision. They said it was the right thing to do. I had to tell a very high-ranking officer that he could not do what he wanted, and I was so nervous about how that would go over and how that would affect our working relationship. But I at least—I know that I did the right thing. I know that I considered my company and their legal obligation first, and so that's how I made that decision.
