This All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office release makes public Department of Homeland Security records on KONA BLUE, a DHS prospective special access program that was ended on February 10, 2012. DHS declassified the records on July 18, 2023. The briefing slides and program proposal describe an Advanced Technology Threat program. It would collect reports on advanced aerospace vehicles, inventory recovered technology, gather oral histories and fund consciousness studies. The release also contains Senator Harry Reid's 2009 letter asking for a restricted SAP for AATIP and a 2010 DIA memo on the program.

# UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (U/AFOUO) On June 24, 2009, Senator Reid sent a letter to Deputy Secretary of Defense Lynn requesting the Department of Defense establish an alternate compensatory control measure (ACCM) or sensitive access program (SAP) for this project. In November, 2009, at the request of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, DIA completed a review of the program. The Agency determined that, based on classification levels of current and projected deliverables, insufficient grounds existed to classify the program, invoke an ACCM, or establish a restricted SAP. (U/FOUO) In November, 2009, Deputy Secretary of Defense Lynn and I met with Senator Reid to discuss this program. At that time, we determined the reports were of limited value to DIA. However, I did suggest they could be of merit to other organizations and, that upon the completion of the DIA contract, the project could be transitioned to another agency or component better suited to oversee the project. 2 enclosures: a/s (U) Prepared by: Office of Congressional and Public Affairs,
