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.

Chris Mellon CQ; I'm not giving my contact info out Given the hAvoternont and threats. That's why we have a secure mechanism. Tue. Jun 13 Chris Mellon Ho obviously doesn't have to do so and he oven said 'How do I know Sean is not a target of the ongoing criminal investigation' (l) However, that being said, And yes, you are defending and adjudicating, and you're undermining the very organization you purported to help establish for this purpose Aki Really? Odd, I try to bring everyone to AARO I can; I am trying to help put Dave in touch with your GC if you can provide simple contact info; I'm not judging the claims between you and Dave and have not claimed his claims are accurate. I've said he is sincere and credible and his and other claims, which I expressly called "allegations;'warrant investigation. I have no idea what u or Dave discussed or when and I'm not taking a position on that or even the underlying claim of recovered materials. So I'm kind... Read More Dave can now say, 'Sean has refused to provide me or my attorney the contact information that would allow us to discuss legal concerns we have with providing testimony to AARO." I am not your enemy and I am riot saying this to provoke or irritate you; moreover having once been in similar jobs I recognize you have a big pile of work and responsibility on your plate. I only mention this because it seems you must have some legal representation and assuming they are competent it seems to me a discussion it would help to get Dave's testimony into your system. That it seems to me should be a win for all. I've asked OGC for contact info. 7 IA py Great! Waiting to hear back. I will be happy to provide that to Dave and Chuck if you like. I think you have a fascinating and important job and I want nothing more than to see the process work. Please don't think I am out to make your lob harder. Actually, Dave can't say any such thing since he hasn't asked me for anything. Only you. , Actually, he probably can and might! But that doesn't matter, I have no specific reason to believe he will and lamnot proposing that to him. Just trying to close the loop and move things toward a good outcome. Thanks. 716 PM J
