Steve,
Below is the response regarding the alxlve search per your request:
On December 2, 2003, J initiated a search of the Dryden History Office (Code T) archives for
a ny information related to Moon Dust, the Kecksburg incident, or the named individual. My
rationale for initiating the search in this department was that the History Office has an
extensive archive and contains records for past projects, and for individuals who worked at or
were involved in NASA activities at what, in 1965, was identified as the NASA Flight Re search
Center, No records were found indicating any involvement wi th Moon Dust or the Kecksoorg
incident, In any form . No re cord was found inchcating that the specified individual was herein
1965,
If you need any more information regarding the details of this search , please contact Ms. Kim
