This AARO FOIA release (case 330UAP000032) is a memorandum for record dated January 8, 2024. It sets out AARO's repeated attempts from June 2023 to January 2024 to interview David Grusch for its Historical Record Report. The release also includes text messages with Chris Mellon, email threads with Grusch and congressional staff, and DoD and ODNI memos stating that AARO may receive classified information. It concludes that Grusch had no intention of giving AARO information on his claims.

Jan 8. 2024. 12:27 PM Nrote: (b)(6) Mr. Grusch, During our conversation on November 10th, 2023, we discussed your comfort level with relaying sensitive information to AARO and the possibility of AARO obtaining a memo from CAPCO that clearly states that AARO can receive CAP information (similar to the SAPCO memo I provided you). Attached is that memo from the ODNI CAPCO. Again, I want to reiterate that in accordance with the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, AARO is authorized to receive any information related to UAP regardless of classification, and notwithstanding any nondisclosure agreement you may have signed. Our invitation to discuss possible U.S. Government programs, events, or activities related to UAP still stands.
