The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published in 1995 by Headquarters United States Air Force. It was written in response to Representative Steven H. Schiff's request and a General Accounting Office audit, and it contains Col. Richard L. Weaver's report and 1st Lt. James McAndrew's synopsis, along with attachments, appendices and photographs. The report says researchers found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from a Project MOGUL balloon train.

SC: I don't know. It's in the Washington DC area. I forget since I was there in the Washington area for awhile but I never did get acquainted with the insane asylum. RW: It's always best to keep it that way. SC: No, well I put it again, he might have gone off with LaPaz for a few days, but I can't imagine what excuse I would have been given as to why he'd be out goofing around with an astronomer. LaPaz was a well thought of individual in New Mexico and, I imagine, all over the United States. He had quite a reputation. RW: He did quite a bit of work for the Air Force, as I found through research. SC: Contract work or something... Yeah. RW: But there was nothing that you knew of that he did as a direct result of this incident on the stuff that you recovered out there? SC: No. Of course, I could have been held in the dark about it~ but as far as I know, no. RW: O.K. I went through and pulled out wherever, in this book UFO Crash at Roswell by Randle and Schmitt, this is a 1991 .. .I pulled out wherever you were identified. They never identified you by name except in the credits when they interviewed yo~ but they always referred to you as the "Senior CIC man" and "Senior CIC agent". They identified Rickett and Marcel, of course, by name. There are many things that are in the book that people said that you said or implied that you said, without directly saying that "Colonel Cavitt told me such and such." SC: Yeah. RW: I pulled a couple of these out and just ask you if you can comment on it to see how they ring with your memory of the incident. "The second fellow we interviewed" (this right fi"om the fi'ont on page six) "was an agent in the counterintelligence corps. He accompanied another intelligence officer on the initial trip to the crash site and we believe wrote a report of the incident for his superiors in Washington" ... implying that was you, since you were the senior guy. SC: rmjust reading this end quote "book." No, No. I assume .. .! assume when I read this thing for the first time that they sent me a big deal, you know... RW: An autographed copy? SC: An autographed copy and all that. No, I didn't say all like that. RW: On the next page, on seven, again referring to you: "At first this intelligence agent refused to admit that the event had occurred at all. There bad been no newspaper story, no fuss, not even the recovery of a weather balloon. After much prodding, that he was going to admit that something came down and was recovered, and but that was as far as he would go. He admits no
