To David and Stan,

I met briefly with Lt-Col Corso, in Italy (San Marino), in April
1998, shortly before his death. I asked him if he could give me
exactly his posts for that period. He wrote, on the first page
of my copy of his book these words:


US Army Research and Development Division

Chief of the Foreign Technology Division

Plans Division of the US Army Research and Development"


This seems to be compatible with the record you quote?

May I add that I found Philip Corso te be a decent and likable
person. He was very calm, discreet, even serene, not the behavior
to be expected of a psychotic liar hungry for money and fame.

There was an official dinner at San Marino. He was there, at a
large table with members of his family : his daughter in Law
with her two boys.

I was at the same table, with Colin Andrews, Prof Messeen among
others. These members of his family had very polite manners. The
boys with white shirts and ties! I wonder, would their
grandfather have taken them with him if he was just an absurd
liar? Which does not mean, of course, that there are no mistakes
in the book.
