DoD Washington Headquarters Services · 9 pages · text from the file's own layer

This DoD Washington Headquarters Services release collects emails about Luis Elizondo, marked as correspondence from a private citizen to a DoD employee. In a June 2020 email and a June 2019 email, Elizondo asks public affairs officer Susan Gough to correct statements that he had no assigned duties in AATIP. He says he ran the program and names people who could confirm his role. Attached August and September 2017 emails with Neill Tipton discuss handing the portfolio over to Tipton.

the record regarding my role on the UAP issue at DoD, I will have no other choice
than to seek redress through the press, Congress, and/or the courts.
In that regard, I have to say that my experience and disappointment in your
responsiveness is apparently not unique. As distinguished veteran reporter Tyler
Rogoway of The Drive stated in an article in March:
"Simply put, my experience with Susan Gough has been the worst I have had with
any of the Defense Department's public affairs personnel, ever. What has
transpired, or more accurately what hasn't transpired, over the last six months
leaves me with no confidence or trust in this official representing the DoD on the
issue.
Having paid a deep personal, emotional, and professional price for your mistakes
and inaction over the last year I confess I share Tyler's feelings and
frustration. Nevertheless, I am willing to make a final effort to work with you to
correct the record in hopes of sparing the Department any additional and
unnecessary embarrassment. I hope you will reach out to those above and do so
promptly so this matter can be put to rest.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if I can be of assistance.
Sincerely,
Luis Elizondo
