clearance upgrade.
Mr. Tenenbaum's attorney,
Martin Crandall, said he and his
client are simply waiting for the
FBI to move. He is confident the
outcome will favor Mr. Tenen-
baum.
"My sense is they will review
the documents they removed
from his home, determine there
was no culpability on his part and
give him a clean bill of health
[and] hopefully apologize," he
said.
Following the reports of Mr.
Tenenbaum's admissions, he was
placed on paid administrative
leave. His entrance privileges to
the facility were revoked.
Should the FBI accumulate
enough evidence to press charges
against Mr. Tenenbaum, he
could face up to 10 years in prison
for gathering and transmitting
defense information to a foreign
government.

avid Tenenbaum, the
Southfield Army engineer
who admitted giving clas-
sified military information
to Israeli associates at a Warren
Army plant, remains on paid ad-
ministrative leave pending the
outcome of an FBI investigation.
FBI Special Agent Dawn
Moritz said on Monday that the
investigation of 39-year-old Mr.
Tenenbaum continues. No new
search warrants have been ob-
tained since documents — in-
cluding computer files, phone
bills and various financial records
— were seized from his home in
late February, she said.
Mr. Tenenbaum, a mechani-
cal engineer for 10 years at the
U.S. Army Tank Automotive
and Armaments Command, told
a polygraph examiner in mid-
February that he had inadver-
tently passed information on
missile and defense technology
to Israeli liaison officers at the
base and to a director of the Is-
raeli Ministry of Defense. The
