This is an email that Sue Gough of Defense Press Operations, Office of the Secretary of Defense Public Affairs, sent to reporters on March 5, 2024. It invites them to an embargoed roundtable with Tim Phillips, acting director of AARO, in the Pentagon Briefing Room on March 6. The subject is AARO's Historical Record Report Volume 1, which is under embargo until DOD announces its public release on March 8. Reporters who agree to the embargo receive an advance copy.

Media colleagues, ***OFF THE RECORD / FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY / NOT FOR DAYBOOKS*** You are invited to participate in an embargoed invited-media roundtable with Tim Phillips, acting director, AARO, on Wednesday, March 6, at 3 p.m. EST, in the Pentagon Briefing Room, on AARO's Historical Record Report Volume 1 (HRRV1), the initial volume of the congressionally directed historical record report on U.S. government UAP-related programs. The roundtable will be on-record and off-camera, and embargoed until DOD announces the public release of the unclassified version of HRRV1 on Friday, March 8. Those who agree to the embargo will be sent a copy of HRRV1 on Wednesday morning, so that you have time to read it prior to the roundtable. The report is also embargoed until DOD announces the public release of the unclassified version of HRRV1 on Friday, March 8. We expect that to be in the morning; a more definitive time will be provided later. This is an invited-media roundtable only and this invitation is not transferable. However, if you are unavailable tomorrow and you have a colleague from your outlet who can attend, please inform me and I will send an invitation to them. Only one person from your outlet may attend. To receive an embargoed copy of HRRV1 and be allowed into the roundtable, please respond with an email that states: "I agree to the embargo." Regards, Sue Gough Defense Press Operations, OSD(PA)
