Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director failed to conduct a proper final merits determination. The Director did not weigh the totality of the evidence, ignoring the petitioner's awards and media coverage, and also improperly analyzed the 'display' criterion by imposing requirements not found in the regulation. The case was sent back for a new decision that includes a comprehensive analysis of the entire record.
