Final Product (FOIA 24-F-0250)

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.

Attached are the two items we spoke about:
• The Verbal Legal Advisement that we review prior to the start of every interview.
• The MFR from SAPCO that makes it clear that AARO can receive compartmented information from interviewees.
Our address i I will meet you in the lobby.
See you tomorrow at 1000,
From: David Grusch
