Hi Dennis

Just thought that I would throw a few points into the 'melting
pot' here with regard to Lorenzo Kimball and his relationship
with Jack Comstock.

But first let me digress a few moments. I am led to believe that
the US Military use a similar form of vetting procedure to the
British. Here (GB) we use a system of negative and positive
vetting. For those who do not know negative vetting consists of
a 'light' check of a candidates background while positive
vetting involves a thorough background check. Positive vetting
is both costly and time consuming.

I also believe that all Officers of both nations are positive
vetted on enlistment. Positive vetting clearance is required to
handle any Top Secret material. Positive vetting is on going,
the candidate faces continual checks on his status through out
his/her service. It is _not_ a life time award. It can be
annulled for any breach of security by the individual, with I
might add, a very detrimental effect on that individuals career.
Vetting is not a new thing it has been in place for many
years.

Further, the right to work with Top Secret material does _not_
give the individual _any_ right to view, hold, discuss or work
with _any_ classified material in which he/she is not directly
involved. It is an Offence against the State to actually do so.
A fact that is all too often forgotten by the Book writer and
non Military man.

What has this to do with Kimball you ask?According to Kimball he
knew Jack Comstock very well and even considered him to be a
close personal friend. He rightly points out Comstock's
excellent record and goes so far as to describe him as <'one of
the most honest and conscientious officers I knew in my 20 years
of service'. >With this in mind and coupled with Kimballs
position as a Supply Officer I put it to you that Comstock would
never have told him if, as has been suggested, Comstock knew
that something extraordinary had occurred. Put very simply
Kimball did not need to know.

The same could be said for Kimball's relationship with
Blanchard. Blanchard was a dedicated 'Career Officer'. Indeed he
had a short but glittering career. He would hardly of
jeopardized that career by 'shouting his mouth off 'to anyone
let alone to Kimball.

It must be remembered that if something of the magnitude that
some believe occurred at Roswell really happened it would be a
matter of absolute National Security. I doubt it could be
eclipsed. It would not be something that Comstock would sit
around the Bar-B-Que and say 'Did I ever tell you about
Roswell. . . . . . ' He appears very unlikly to be that sort of
man. You must also appreciate that although Officers socialize
with their fellow Officers they simply would not and do not
discuss matters of National Security so lightly.

No, while I credit Kimball for giving a glowing account of the
careers of both Comstock and Blanchard he certainly does not
convince me that, perhaps, they did not hold a secret from
him. You must remember just what Kimble actually was. As the Unit
Supply Officer he would hardly be the first individual that the
Unit OC would call for. A Captain might think he is an important
person but he is in fact a very small cog in a very big machine.

Of course you must consider the possibility that nothing truly
occurred. Yet you must also consider, however unlikely you may
feel it, that either he was not told, or, that he is being
possibly deliberately misleading.

Doubtless you will respond. Please, a non' Letterman' critique.
(I love America I am actually going to Florida this Saturday),
but, I could never really understand Letterman's humor. We may
actually be very nearly your, is it 53rd State?, but we do not
have to put up with him over here. . . . . . yet. <BG>

Regards.

Keith. . . . . . . . . Keep the Faith!
