Close But No Cigar...

PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY NEEDS TO BE PLAUSIBLE

Politicians and Bureaucracy's are very good at talking a lot and saying nothing, my Latin 5 teacher at Miami Beach Senior High in 1983 has a word for this, BLATHERING!

Below is my 05JUN12 response to the "No Records" response from The CECOM FOIA Office:

Subject: CANVS written request for referral of this matter (FOIA #FA -12-0069) to the Initial Denial Authority (IDA) to initiate the formal denial process.

Dear Michelle:

Thank you for your email and letter dated 01JUN12.

This email constitutes my written request for referral of this matter (FOIA #FA -12-0069) to the Initial Denial Authority (IDA) to initiate the formal denial process.

In addition to my initial request I would also like to ask for the following information:

Copies of all the rules, regulations, policies and procedures that were in place at The Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) reference what forms had to be signed in order to approve release of military/scientific information into the public domain on June 6th, 2005.

I would also like to know where the posters that were presented were printed and if there was a Standard Operating Procedure in place at the time for the destruction or storage of posters presented by NVESD after an event.

In order to help facilitate the process I suggest that these questions be posed to Dan Hosek, please note I have copied Dan as a courtesy on this correspondence as he will know where to direct this request, (he was the technical POC for the project, dan.hosek@nvl.army.mil, 703-704-3130), and Tom Soyka (he was the SOCOM liaison officer for NVESD at the time, thomas.soyka@nvl.army.mil) at NVESD.

As this request is in direct support of an appeal currently in front of the ASBCA (CANVS ASBCA Nos. 57784, 57987) and looks to resolve a contract dispute I would like to request the waiving of any fees associated with the requested actions.

In addition to the CANVS ASBCA appeals, I am currently in discussions with the Office of The Special Prosecutor (U.S. Office of Special Counsel file number: ma-12-3224) reference potential criminal activities identified within the Command, as such I am requesting an expedited response to my request.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter and I look forward to obtaining the materials in question.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Alexander Walkenstein
President, CANVS Corporation


PS:

Please note that Dr. A. Fenner Milton, Director, CERDEC Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) (fenner.milton@nvl.army.mil) has also been copied on this message in order to remove any plausible deniability that Dr. Milton was not aware of these activities that took place under his command.
