  A/C 1/H25A WAS TAXING WESTBOUND ON TAXIWAY NOVEMBER AND WAS TOLD TO HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY 18 AND TO REPORT HOLDING. A/C 2/CRJ2 WAS HOLDING AT THE ILS CRITICAL HOLD AREA ON RUNWAY 18 AT TAXIWAY ALPHA AND WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF. APPROXIMATELY 85 SECONDS AFTER THE TAKEOFF CLEARANCE WAS ISSUED, H25A ADVISED LOCAL CONTROL (LC) THAT HE WAS HOLDING SHORT OF RUNWAY 18 AT TAXIWAY NOVEMBER. LC CLEARED H25A TO CROSS RUNWAY 18 AND TURN RIGHT ON TAXIWAY ALPHA. APPROXIMATELY 35 SECONDS LATER, H25A ADVISED LC THEY HAD STOPPED WITH THEIR NOSEWHEEL ACROSS THE RUNWAY EDGE LINE AND THAT AN AIRCRAFT PASSED OVER THEM. AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH H25A, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT HE STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT AS CRJ9 PASSED IN FRONT OF THEM AT AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET. THE ESTIMATED CLOSEST PROXIMITY IS 32 FEET LATERAL AND 30 FEET VERTICAL. POOR VISIBILITY PREVENTED LC FROM SEEING THE SURFACE MOVEMENT AREA (18 RVR EQUALLED 2600 FEET).
