Hardy and the Pall Corp. ran into trouble in September of 1987 when the companys secret security clearance was temporarily lifted and downgraded to secretlimited due to the fact that Mr. Hardy is not a U.S. citizen. At that time. however. Mr. Hardy held. and continues to hold. the highest security clearance status for which a noncitizen is eligible. In addition to this. the Defense Investigative Service notified the Pall Corp.s customers of the new access limitations being placed on the company. As a result of these restrictions. the companys employees could not be freely consulted by members of the defense establishment.
