Gersten, Esq. 7349 Via Paseo del Sur Suite 515-194 Scottsdale, AZ 85258 Dear Mr. Gersten: This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act appeal, addressed to the Office of the General Counsel, and your supplemental request, addressed to our office, both dated November 3, 1997.This letter also refers to your initial request dated September 10, 1997, and our response dated October 3, 1997. In your initial request you were seeking records that LTC Corso refers to in his book entitled "Day After Roswell," and that were allegedly maintained in the Army Office of the Chief of Research and Development. That Office's responsibilities now fall under the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research, Development and Acquisition. At the time your initial request was received, all requests for UFO information were routinely being forwarded to the Air Force for action by this office. This was due to the fact that the Department of the Air force has been the lead agency in responding to inquiries about Roswell. Upon receipt of your appeal, for non search of records by the Department of the Army, and your supplemental request for documentation to prove that the requested records were transferred to the Air Force, you were contacted by Darryll G. Smith, of my staff. Pursuant to that telephone conversation, our office has agreed to re-visit your original request for possible sources of information within Army. We have assigned your appeal, which we are now processing as your original request, and supplemental Freedom of Information Act request, Case Number 98-0358 for control purposes. In reviewing your initial request, it has been determined that since the initial records may have been maintained by the Army Office of the Chief of Research and Development, the following agency may have records responsive to your request. Therefore as a matter under its purview, your request has been transferred to that agency for action and direct reply to you: Information Management Office ATTN: SFAE-IMO Research Development & Acquisition 103 Army Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20310-0103 If this office can be of further assistance to you, please contact Darryll G. Smith, of my staff, or myself, at the above address. Sincerely, Rose Marie Christensen Chief, Freedom of information And privacy Acts Office
