Park Service Chief’s Job Appears Safe; IG Finds No Sexual Harassment

"The top official at the National Park Service admitted to investigators that he acted in a way “not appropriate for work” in the hallways of the Interior Department while telling a story about urination.

But P. Daniel Smith denied that he “touched himself obscenely” as suggested by an anonymous letter forwarded to the department’s inspector general in March, according to a summary of that investigation released Thursday by the watchdog office.

As a result, investigators could not determine whether the incident constituted sexual harassment — and Smith’s job appears to be safe."
