National news - Nov. 29

PITTSBURGH
Scientist leaves U.S.

An Egyptian scientist who claimed his rights were violated when the Department of Energy revoked his security clearance, has left the country after 28 years and returned to his native Egypt after losing his federal lawsuit. Moniem El-Ganayni, 57, worked at the Bettis Laboratory, which makes parts for nuclear warships, in suburban West Mifflin for more than 17 years. He has been a U.S. citizen since 1988. His security clearance was revoked last year, and he was fired in May. The Energy Department said it had reliable information that El-Ganayni was a security risk but refused to let him see any evidence or defend himself. The department said its reasons were classified and could violate national security if made public.

WASHINGTON
FDA sets standard

Federal regulators set a safety threshold Friday for the industrial chemical melamine that is greater than the amount of contamination found so far in U.S.-made infant formula. Food and Drug Administration officials set a threshold of 1 part per million of melamine in formula so long as a related chemical isn't also present. They said they are continuing to analyze the results of tests on 87 samples of infant formula, but of the 74 analyzed so far, one had traces of melamine below the new threshold and another had traces of cyanuric acid, a related contaminant. None had both contaminants.
Adviser is back

An adviser to Barack Obama's presidential campaign who was forced to resign this year after calling Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton a ''monster'' is working on the transition team for the agency Clinton is expected to lead. State Department officials said Friday that Samantha Power is among a group of foreign policy experts whom the president-elect's office selected to help the incoming administration prepare for Clinton's anticipated nomination as secretary of state. Clinton's role is expected to be announced next week.

FORT CAMPBELL, KY.
Father-son medals ,New,9.6,9.7

Jonathan Harris, 35, a Blackhawk pilot who withstood enemy fire to save a wounded crew member in Afghanistan, was awarded a Silver Star on Friday. Not to be outdone, his 60-year-old father was awarded a Silver Star and a Bronze Star in a simultaneous ceremony honoring his bravery in Vietnam. The two generations watched each other through a video teleconference between Fort Campbell, where Gary Harris was honored, and Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, where Jonathan is completing a tour.
