Mr. Jenner. And your knowledge of his loss of clearance was by hearsay or rumor. As I understand it the circumstances took place off base one day?
Mr. Thornley. No; this was on base as I understand it. It was in an enlisted club or staff sergeant's club, something of that nature.
Mr. Jenner. He had gotten into difficulty with a staff sergeant and had poured beer on the person of a staff sergeant and gotten into some kind of an altercation?
Mr. Thornley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. As a result of that he was court-martialed and had been subjected to the loss of clearance?
Mr. Thornley. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Was that clearance of his restored?
Mr. Thornley. I doubt it very much, because 3 months afterwards, after I had left the outfit—I know it wasn't restored while I was in the outfit.
Mr. Jenner. When did you leave the outfit?
Mr. Thornley. I left in June and went overseas.
