Office of the Secretary of Defense · 2024 · 17 pages · text from the file's own layer
This 2024 Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (24-F-1134) contains Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review records for a submission by Chris Mellon, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. In January 2024 Mellon submitted for release an unmarked message from a former DoD official alleging a program exploiting recovered off-world technology. The file includes emails chasing reviews from OUSD(I&S) and AARO. Both reviewers raised no objection, and on March 1, 2024 the case was cleared for open publication.
