Charging party not denied due process before ALJ when provided opportunity to present testimonial evidence, documentary evidence, and an ordinate amount of “background” evidence of marginal relevance. The right of a charging party to cross examine a respondent’s witnesses or present a closing oral argument assumes that the charging party presents a prima facie case and the proceeding moves beyond charging party’s case-in-chief. Denial of charging party’s request to review transcript proper when it came more than two months after he was told he would need to make a request to review the transcript and came after the extended date for submission of written argument had passed.
