According to who I spoke with, the "Field Effects on Biological Tissues" DIRD, which is listed by the
DIA as a product of AATIP, was a literature review and forensic medical analysis of historical claims
of injury as result of encounters with UAP. In the letter to the Armed Services Committee DIA
Congressional Relations Staff indicated the "Field Effects on Biological Tissues" attachment is not
accessible on the Capitol Network (CapNet), however, they are "happy to provide directly upon
request." I wondering if it may be possible to coordinate with the DIA in effort to review this
published report, as it may bear influence on recent official statements that AATIP nor AAWSAP were
involved with the research or study of UAP.
I understand you're hindered by both length of time since these programs were being officially
conducted and what information is available or provided to you. However, I have no doubts about
your intentions to provide as accurate information as possible, so I wanted to pass this additional
information along in case it might be of assistance.
If indeed any of this information does influence the current stance on whether or not AATIP or
AAWSAP was involved in UAP research, I would ask if you would be able to provide me with a new
attributable statement.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Best Wishes,
