Seems to be a bit of Pentagon narrative setting versus genuine media outreach. On Tue, Mar 5, 2024 at 2:46 PM Gough, Susan L (Sue) CIV OSD PA (USA) kb)(6) _ wrote: I= Thanks for reaching out. At this time, we are looking to keep any media engagement with AARO's acting director to a small group. Note, should we have an on-record engagement this week, we will post the transcript once it is available. With that, I will be sure keep you in mind for any upcoming opportunities to engage with AARO going forward.
