The Secret Service took responsibility yesterday for sending an Arab American waiter home from his job at a Baltimore hotel before a presidential fundraiser last week. But it said the decision resulted from confusion over his work schedule, rather than from ethnic or religious discrimination.

These problems simply stemmed from confusion over a work schedule," Gill said. "The Secret Service regrets any difficulties and inconvenience this confusion may have caused the employee involved.
