votes of the members of the panel will be furnished upon request.

In this connection, the Board substantially concurred with the comments contained

material evidence or other matter not previously considered by the Board.
In this regard, it is
important to keep in mind that a presumption of regularity attaches to all official records.

sufficient reason to remove a fitness report.
