(2) allowed reasonable time, as determined by the board of inquiry under regulations of the Secretary, to prepare his defense;
(3) allowed to appear in person and by counsel at proceedings before a board of inquiry; and
(4) allowed full access to, and furnished copies of, records relevant to the case at all stages of the proceeding, except that a board shall withhold any records that the Secretary determines should be withheld in the interests of national security.
