Documents / FOIA release
This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (24-F-0250) centers on a January 8, 2024 AARO memorandum for record. The memo describes the office's repeated attempts through 2023 to interview David Grusch for its Historical Record Report. It concludes that Grusch had no intention of giving AARO information about his claims. The release also includes text messages with Chris Mellon and congressional staff, email exchanges with Grusch, and DoD SAPCO and ODNI CAPCO memos stating that AARO may receive classified and NDA-protected UAP information.
From: David Grusc Sent: To: Subject: Re: Contact Request Good Afternoon, Thank you will review. Please address my specific concerns that I sent via email on 19 Nov 23. DG On Mon Jan 8 2024 12:27 Pry rote: 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. Have a good afternoon, From: David Grusch Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2023 6:03 PM To Subject: Re: Contact Request 1
