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.

Handling (RH) level (lAW DNI CAPCO manual Sec. 4). Has the CIA Office of Security (OS) or Directorate of Operations
(DO) provided a memo in this regard for oral history interview subjects? Has the OS provided a memo to also cover
managed-need-to-know (MNTK) projects not directly reported to ODNI CAPCO?
Lastly, what signed policy does AARO have to receive non-title-10 SAPs (ie, DOE and NSC)? Has the EOP NSC Security
Director, Director National Program Management Staff OUSD(I&S), or DOE SAPCO/SAPOC provided a memo similar
to the DoD SAPCO memo you provided?
v/r,
DG
