The enclosed file is for your information. Copies will be sent
to J. Verona and SG1J
To be clear about why we have not included more specific
information regarding "Exhibits A-Q" it is that the material, by
itself or with other documentation, may have significant commercial
and military value. Additionally, it will serve our agenda and we
are not obliged to release materials to anyone at this time.
As other files close, we will send out similar information
concerning that specific file.
