Fuller version of the Defense Intelligence Agency Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications "solicitation" found

Background

I previously reported that I had located a copy of the 2008 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program "solicitation" which called for bids to undertake the work in this area for the DIA. My blog post reported some of the details contained in this "solicitation." Since then, I have continued to look for further "solicitation" documents. I can now report that I have located a fuller version.

Fuller version

This 32 page document titled "Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items" is a 32 page document calling for bids for the AAWSA program work, and was issued by the Virginia Contracting Activity, the contract arm of the DIA, on 18 August 2008. Later, in this post, I will provide a link to the document so that blog readers may examine it, in its entirety. Others may well pick up important points that I have so far missed.

LasVegasNow story

On 4 May 2018, KLAS TV Channel 8, posted a story to the LasVegasNow website, titled "I-Team: Documents prove secret UFO study based in Nevada." Embedded in the story was a video of the story going to air. During that five minute news segment, a number of documents were flashed onto the screen. I can now say, that some of these snapshots, came from the document I have just found, for example:

The source of some of the other KLAS TV item documents, is still to be determined.

Bigelow Aerospace advert for AAWSA jobs found

Solicitation

In a previous blog, I reported on the contents of a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)  "Solicitation" dated 20 August 2008, which sought bids from outside bodies for work that the DIA wished to undertake for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program, which later became the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which its second program manager, Luis Elizondo, acknowledged worked on studying UFOs. 

We now know that Bigelow Aerospace was awarded the contract to work on the AAWSA program, and that this occurred after the "solicitation" closed on 5 September 2008.

A step back

Before moving on to the main thrust of this blog post, I wish to point out four aspects of the "Solicitation" which have a direct bearing on what I have just found. These are:

1. "It is expected that numerous experts with extensive experience (minimum of 10 years) in breakthrough aerospace research and development will be required to meet the demands of the above program."

2. "Contractor company and personnel proposed shall be clearable and able to obtain a security and facility clearance upon award of the contract. All requirements specified in this SOO may be based on materials classified at or below Top Secret with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information...The contractor shall ensure that each individual assigned to this contract shall be identified, cleared, and approved through DIA/DAC-3 PRIOR to granting that individual access to, or authority to generate classified material in association with this effort."

3. "It is anticipated that travel will be required for this contract."

4. "At least one member of each analytical team must have a PhD."

Keep these requirements in mind as you read on.

Bigelow Aerospace subsidiary

We also already know that Bigelow Aerospace created a subsidiary company to operate the AAWSA contract, which was called Bigelow Advanced Aerospace Space Studies (BAASS) in 2008.

New information

I can now reveal that by September 2008 BAASS were advertising that:

"Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), a sister company to Bigelow Aerospace, is a newly formed research organization that focuses on the identification, evaluation, and acquisition of novel and emerging future technologies worldwide as this specifically relates to spacecraft. BAASS is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"We are seeking experienced scientists to join our research teams. If you are an inquisitive outside of the circle thinker, who is detail oriented and who is looking for a challenge, this is a unique and exciting opportunity to advance your career and to be a part of cutting edge research.

"Numerous positions are available in various fields.

"Impressive candidates will need to have 10 or more years of research and hands on experience in the disciplines related to aerospace sciences specified including:

* Astrophysics
* Biochemistry
* Microbiology
* Nanotechnologies
* Physics
* Propulsion
* Stealth Technology
* The Engineering Disciplines

"Several positions are also available for research scientists in the disciplines of:

* Biological Cognitive Interaction
* Electromagnetic Fields
* Forensic Pathology
* Psychology
* Social Psychology
* Sociology

"A Masters or PhD in a relevant  field is a plus. Candidates must qualify for secret and top secret clearances and must be willing to submit to a thorough background check.

" For all positions, some travel - both nationally and internationally - may be required.

"For more information or to apply use the online application or mail your CV/resume to Attn: Donna @ 4640 S. Eastern Ave. Las vegas NV 89119..."

I note that the same positions, minus those of Forensic pathology, Psychology, Social Psychology and Sociology (which do not appear in ads dated 18 December 2008) were on offer throughout 2009 and as late as early 2010.

Commentary

It will be seen that aspects of the call for applicants for various positions with BAASS fit in very well with aspects of the DIA AAWSA "solicitation." Hence my conclusion that this advert I found, is in fact a call arising directly from Bigelow Aerospace getting the DIA AAWSA contract, and not as a result of some other Bigelow Aerospace project.

Looking at the phrase "...identification, evaluation, and acquisition of novel and emerging future technologies..." which appears in the BAASS advert, certainly also fits in with the theme of the AAWSA "solicitation." However, what are we to make of the use of "as this specifically relates to spacecraft."? What spacecraft? Earth made ones or someone else's? Perhaps it is just a poor usage of the word "spacecraft."

The fourteen areas of expertise are an interesting compilation of areas you would expect ( e.g. physics, propulsion, stealth technology) and ones you would perhaps not expect (e.g. Biological Cognitive Interaction) and what to make of the "Forensic Pathology"? Curiously, this area of "Forensic Pathology" had disappeared from the BAASS advert by 18 December 2008, suggesting that the position had been filled. In addition, readers should note that "forensic pathology" was the specialist area of former Central Intelligence Agency employee, Christopher (Kit) Canfield Green. For a detailed look at Green's work, take a look at a series of earlier blog posts, by my former blog co-author Pauline Wilson, here,  here, here, and here.

At this point, readers may like to take a look at the statement from a a senior manager at BAASS which appeared on the LasVegasnow website updated on  9 May 2018. This includes the words "One of the major successes of BAASS was in adopting the novel approach of utlizing the human body as a readout system for dissecting interactions with the UFO phenomenon." It would appear that George Knapp and his team have been able to locate a senior BAASS manager, and secure a statement from that (unnamed individual.)

The address for BAASS is given as 4640 S. Eastern Ave. Las Vegas NV 89119, whereas the address for Bigelow Aerospace at that time was at 1899 W. Brooks Ave.,North Las Vegas NV 89032. Was the former address the physical location for the secure facility that Bigelow Aerospace was required to establish under the terms of the "Solicitation."

In closing 

The locating of both the DIA AAWSA program "solicitation" and now this BAASS call for individuals to undertake the AAWSA program work, fills in some previously unknown details about this program.

Hopefully, individuals who have additional information, will share this with us in the immediate future. 

The Defense Intelligence Agency's Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program - I find the original call for tenders document

Introduction

I have just located an online copy of the Defense Intelligence Agency's, August 2008, call for proposals, for its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program. This is the call for outside bodies to submit a bid to undertake the work that the DIA wished to achieve in this area. This blog post will provide our first look at the contents of this document, which has, until now, remained hidden from researchers. 

Solicitation

"Solicitation" HHM402-08-R-0211, dated 18 August 2008, issued as "Request for a Proposal," was prepared by the "Virginia Contracting Activity", at Bolling Air Force Base, Washington DC. "The Virginia Contracting Activity" was the name used by the DIA's purchasing/contracts area.The document stated that ".. one firm fixed price contact is anticipated to be awarded as a result of this solicitation..." with a "size standard of 25 million." "The term of the contract is from the Date of Award through September 30, 2009. The contract will have four one-year options, for the period of September 29, 2008 through September 30, 2013."

Background

The document then went on to provide the background to the program. 

"The Acquisition Support Division (DWO-3) of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has the responsibility to provide guidance and oversight to the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition process along with leveraging the DoD Intelligence Community to coordinate, produce and maintain projections of the future threat environment in which the U.S. air, naval, ground, space, missile defense and information systems operate. In order to accurately assess the foreign threat to U.S. weapons systems, a complete as possible understanding of potential breakthrough technology applications employed in future aerospace weapons systems must be obtained."

Objective

"The objective of this program is to understand the physics and engineering of these applications as they apply to the foreign threat out to the far term , i.e., from now through the year 2050. Primary focus is on breakthrough technologies and applications that create discontinuities in currently evolving technology trends."

Requirements

"...The contractor shall complete advanced aerospace weapon system technical studies in the following areas: 1. lift; 2. propulsion; 3.control; 4. power generation; 5. spatial/temporal translation; 6. materials; 7. configuration; 8. signature reduction (optical, infrared, radiofrequency, acoustic); 9. human interface; 10. human effects; 11.armament (RF and DEW); 12. other peripheral areas in support of (1-11)..."

Security requirement

"Contractor company and personnel proposed shall be clearable and able to obtain a security and facility clearance upon award of the contract...All requirements specified in this SOO may be based on materials classified at or below Top Secret with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information...The contractor shall ensure that each individual assigned to this contract shall be identified, cleared, and approved through DIA/DAC-3 prior to granting that individual access to....Contractor will provide a work facility (including unclassified information systems) with a Top Secret Facility Clearance granted by the Defense Security Service (DSS)...At least two personnel cleared at the Secret level are required at contract inception..."

Contractor acquired material and travel

"Any accountable property acquired by the contractor with government funds during the execution of this contract shall become government owned property."

"It is anticipated that travel will be required for this contract. The Government will pay up to the rates specified in the government Federal Travel Regulations for travel destination."

Deliverables

"The contractor shall prepare the following deliverables: a. Status Reports - monthly reports outlining accomplishments, milestones, and work in progress. b. Project Management Plan - For each technical area, the team lead shall submit, at the 60 day point, an overview paper identifying the scope of the final report; a Plan of Action and Milestones, and the composition of the analytical team. c. Research reports - for each technical area, a comprehensive report and briefing forecasting potential advancements and their impact is to be submitted to the GPL by the end of the tenth month...A final report and briefing that assesses the foreign threat from advanced aerospace platforms incorporating the technologies discussed in the individual research reports...at the end of the period of performance..."

Government program leader

"The COR [Contracting Officer Representative -KB] and Government Project Leader will be Dr. James T. Lacatski." 

"Proposals are due at the Contracting Office on September 5 2008..."

My comment

This document clearly identifies the background; objective; requirements and deliverables for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program, and as such, provides researchers with a confirmation on aspects of the program,  previously unknown. 

The contract process for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program

AAWSA program contract process

One aspect of the whole business of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program, is the process of the selection of an organisation to undertake work for the Defense Intelligence Agency.

The New York Times dated 16 December 2017 stated that AATIP started in 2007 but that "Contracts obtained by The Times show a congressional appropriation of just under $22 million beginning in late 2008 through 2011."

In a January 2018 interview between journalist Giuliano Marinkovic and Luis Elizondo, Elizondo stated that the AATIP started in 2007; there was an open bid for a contract put out by the Defense Intelligence Agency and this was won by Bigelow Aerospace in an open process.

Internet search for confirmation

It would seem logical to try and locate some documentation on this aspect. I therefore searched the Internet for information about the general process, which agencies of the US government undertake, when seeking organisations to undertake work for them.

I found out that a "Broad Agency Announcement" is the way in which the US government solicits proposals from outside bodies for research and development which it wishes to undertake. I therefore searched the Internet, using key words such as Broad Agency Announcement, Defense Intelligence Agency, AAWSA etc, but located nothing of interest. Someone suggested trying the US Federal Register, "The Daily Journal of the United States Government" but nothing there either.

Virginia Contracting Activity

I then learned that the public interface for the Defense Intelligence Agency on the contract side, is something known as the "Virginia Contracting Activity."  A web search using these words, plus Defense Intelligence Agency turned up a few websites such as this, but little more.

George Knapp

Then among a digital piece by George Knapp, date 4 May 2018, I noticed something unusual. There was an image which contained the words "Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program." Below this, in faded typing appear the words "Solicitation Number" then "Agency (?) Other Defense agencies" then " (Office?) Virginia Contracting Activity" then " (Illegible) DIA (illegible) AFB."

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/i-team-documents-prove-secret-ufo-study-based-in-nevada/1160375205

If this is a genuine image of a document, then George Knapp may well have located, and currently holds a copy of the DIA equivalent of the "Broad Agency Announcement," used by other US government agencies, for the AAWSA contract. I have therefore dispatched an email to George Knapp asking if this is so, and if he might be willing to share this document with others?

Knapp's piece went on to say that "In Aug. 2008, DIA posted a solicitation for bids. Weeks later, the contract was awarded to Bigelow Aerospace, the initial amount was $10 million."

Other sources of documents

I understand from a variety of individuals, that attempts have been made to secure information about copies of the DIA contract etc from such sources as one of the journalists who wrote the New York Times piece of December 2017; and others, but that these attempts have lead nowhere. It is a pity that there is not more open and transparent dealings around this topic. After all, we are all interested in factual information, supported by documented evidence.

Update 

Barry Greenwood in the USA enhanced the image and the wording is:

Solicitation Number
Agency: Other Defense Agencies
Office: Virginia Contracting Activity
Location: DA Bolling AFB.

Thanks Barry.

Update 8 May 2018

I have just located an online copy of the DIA "solicitation" of August 2008. I will report on its contents in my next blog.

Third Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program document surfaces

A third document associated with the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program has just surfaced. The document appears to be one of a series of 38 such documents commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under the AAWSA program.

Dr Eric Davis

In a "Coast to Coast" radio interview, on 28 January 2018, between George Knapp and Dr Eric Davis, of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Dr Davis stated that they were tasked with looking into the future, around 2050, and to set up a series of expert studies. They commissioned a series of experts to prepare papers on a variety of exotic studies. These papers became a series of Defence Intelligence Reference Documents.Thirty eight papers were produced, of which two were classified.

Previously

Two other documents in this series have been known since late last year. These were titled "Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy", dated 6 April 2010, DIA-08-1004-004; and "Warp drive; Dark Energy, and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions"  dated 2 April 2010, DIA-08-1004-001. The earliest appearance of these two documents can be traced back to a website operated by Corey Goode  They appear in an item dated 18 December 2017. In another place, Goode refers to having had five of these DIRD's, but that three were stolen from him.

Third document

Authored by Dr Hal Puthoff, it is titled "Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum (Spacetime Metric) Engineering," dated 29 March 2010, DIA-08-1003-015.

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/i-team-documents-prove-secret-ufo-study-based-in-nevada/1160375205 

It surfaced yesterday, as a link,  in  a story by George Knapp, titled "I-Team: Documents prove secret UFO study based in Nevada."

The 17 page document explores the theme that "...empty space itself (the quantum vacuum or spacetime metric) might be engineered to provide energy/thrust for future space vehicles."

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/i-team-documents-prove-secret-ufo-study-based-in-nevada/1160375205

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/i-team-documents-prove-secret-ufo-study-based-in-nevada/1160375205

A search of the Internet revealed no other references to this 2010 paper; a search of the US  Defense Technical Information Center whose mission is to provide "...technical research, development, testing and evaluation (RD T&E) information" revealed no copy of the document. However, an eight page article of the same titled appeared in 2010, in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Volume 63, pp82-89.

Unanswered questions

Questions which remain unanswered, include:

1. How did Corey Goode obtain the initial two 2010 DIA Dr Eric Davis DIRDs?

2. How did George Knapp acquire the 2010 DIA Puthoff DIRD?

3. Does anyone apart from the DIA and Davis/Puthoff have a copy of all 38 DIRDs?

4. Can we expect more of this series of DIRD's to surface, and when?

I have emailed Hal Puthoff a copy of the third document, and asked him whether or not it is genuine?

One scientist's work on the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application program

By Keith Basterfield and Paul Dean

Bigelow Aerospace

In the New York Times article  (NYT) of 16 December 2017, by Helene Cooper, Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean, concerning the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), there was mention of the involvement of Bigelow Aerospace. Bigelow Aerospace was revealed as the major contractor to participate in the AATIP. The NYT article, in part, read :

"The funding went to Mr Bigelow's company, Bigelow Aerospace, which hired subcontractors and solicited research for the program."

We wondered at the time, whether or not it would be possible to locate any of these subcontractors?

Eric Davis/Hal Puthoff

We now know from sources such as the January 2018 "Coast to Coast" interviews between George Knapp,and Dr Eric Davis/Dr Hal Puthoff, that both these individuals were such subcontractors. Much has already been revealed about their roles in the program. However, what about other subcontractors?

On 7 January 2018, on the Above Top Secret website, user name "Mirageman" published a lengthy article titled "Bigelow, UFOs, MUFON and the 'DeLonge' road to AATIP." In a section about the 2008 discussions between Bigelow and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)  the author wrote:

"...Bigelow was contracting up to fifty scientists, some designated to be on the scene within twenty-four hours after significant UFO incidents, to perform investigations and analyse any data the MUFON investigators had collected."

Who were these scientists? It would appear that until now, not one has been identified by researchers.

Swedish researcher Roger Glassel's 27 April 2018 blog post provided a lead:

 "By searching on the AAWSA name I also found a LinkedIn profile of a person in the Nevada area that had worked for Bigelow Aerospace between 2009 and 2010. More specifically, he was employed "in an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers studying advanced aerospace weapon system applications including lift, propulsion, control, power generation, signature reduction, material and armament."

LinkedIn

Immediately after reading Glassel's blog post, one of the authors (KB) searched the LinkedIn website and using key words, located this individual's LinkedIn entry. There is indeed an entry stating that this individual worked as a "Research Engineer" for Bigelow Aerospace between August 2009 and June 2010 (within the time span of the AATIP dates provided by the NYT article.)  The text which Glassel refers to, is there. However, what appears below Glassel's cited text, is even more interesting.

"Further tasks included:

* Develop company research topics requiring ANSYS FEA calculation and carry out research within the fields of aerodynamics, heat transfer, stress analysis and chemical reaction

* Perform field measurements collecting data regarding ionizing radiation as well as performing chemical/metal/soil and spectrum analysis across the United States in accordance with the code of federal regulators, ANSI, IEEE and ASTM standards and EPA, USGS, DOE and DOD procedures.

*Responsible for training engineering/scientist team on proper use of equipment safety/procedure guidelines

* Responsible for compiling, formatting and ensuring technical accuracy of completed scientific analysis reports."



Source: LinkedIn

Notes

1. ANSYS FEA. Ansys is a private US company. FEA = Finite element analysis.
2. ANSI = American National Standards Institute.
3. IEEE = Institute of Electrical Engineers.
4. ASTM = American Society for Testing and Materials.
5. EPA = Environmental Protection Agency.
6. USGS = United States Geological Survey.
7. DOE = Department of Energy.
8.. DOD = Department of Defense.


On 1 May 2018, one of the authors (PD) exchanged communications with US researcher Curt Collins, and during this exchange received advice as to the name of the individual on LinkledIn, whom Glassel referred to in his blog post of 27 April 2018. This name matched the individual whom one of the authors (KB) had already found.

Significance

The significance of this find, is that for the first time, we have part of the "job description" of one of the individuals who was conducting scientific investigation under the DIA AATIP/AAWSA program, i.e. another subcontractor beyond Davis/Puthoff.

It should be recalled, that in the 28 January 2018 "Coast to Coast" interview with George Knapp; Davis specifically said of his role in AATIP, that he undertook no data analysis, nor video analysis, nor witness interviews. Hal Puthoff stated on "Coast to Coast" that his role with the AATIP was mainly to look at the physics. The investigatory role apparently belonged to such individuals as the one located on LinkedIn.

We conducted a further search of LinkedIn looking for other individuals who may have worked on the same program. We have found no one else as yet.

One of the authors (KB) has forwarded a request to the Las Vegas individual identified by Glassel, ourselves and Collins, asking them if they would be willing to talk to us about the work they undertook for the program? We are not providing their name due to privacy considerations. No response has been received, as at the date of this post.

Naturally, we would appreciate hearing from anyone who can throw more light on this matter; email keithbasterfield@yahoo.com.au

AATIP or AAWSA

Background:

The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) has been in the news since late last year, when the existence of this US government program was revealed. Three short videos, said to have been investigated by the program, have been released by the To the Stars Academy.

In a blog post dated 27 April 2018, and titled "The AATIP, Targeting Pod Videos and the DOPSR Process," Swedish researcher Roger Glassel, provided information relating to his search for how the AATIP targeting videos were released.

Introduction:

Part of Glassel's research led him to the 2010/2011 work of Dr Eric Davis.

Source: http://earthtech.org/pubs/

Davis prepared a number of theoretical studies for the US Defense Intelligence Agency's Defence Warning Office. Glassel located two of these reports. Davis had previously reported on his AATIP work for the DIA, preparing similar, if not the same reports.

On page 2 of both reports there is the note: "This product is one of a series of advanced technology reports produced in FY 2009 Under the Defense Intelligence Agency Defense Warning Office's Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Application (AAWSA) program." Glassel argues that "AAWSA, if not the same, would seem to be closely related to AATIP."

Isaac Koi

UK researcher Isaac Koi, in a message dated 30 April 2018, to the UFO-collective googlegroups discussion group, added some further information.

"On 20 March 2018, I send (sic) a copy of two DIRD paper to Eric Davis (which I found on several websites by searching the publications he had listed  on his EarthTech.org page) and asked him to confirm that those papers were part of the series of 38 DIRDs. Those papers include a statement that they are reports under the Defense Intelligence Agency's Defense Warning office's "Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications" (sic)  (AAWSA) Program. (A few days later, Roger Glassel independently found these DIRDs by doing similar searches).

On 13 April 2018, Eric kindly replied that "I don't know how you got two of my DIRD reports" and "Yes! All of my DIRD reports are in the set of 38 total."

Program manager:

One aspect of Glassel's blog which interests me is the fact that the note goes on to say: "Comments or questions pertaining to this document should be addressed to James T Lacatski, D. Eng., AAWSA Program Manager, Defense Intelligence Agency, ATTN: CLAR/DWO-3, Bldg 6000, Washington DC 20340 - 5100." Remember this was back in April 2010.

What do we already know about the AATIP program manager before Elizondo?

1. During the "Coast to Coast" George Knapp interview with Luis Elizondo, dated 25 February 2018, Elizondo stated that in 2008 he talked to the AATIP program manger, who was a PhD and a rocket scientist.

2. During the January 2018 interview between Elizondo and Giuliano Marinkovic, Elizondo stated that in 2010, the last AATIP manager moved on, and he (Elizondo) became the AATIP program manager.

Who was James T Lacatski?

A search of the Internet reveals:

1. A James Lacatski, Intelligence Officer, Missile defense, Defense Intelligence Agency was one of the experts at a 2004 conference  on Ballistic Missile Defence.

2.

In the January 2005 edition of the DIA's magazine "Communique" James T Lacatski is shown as promoted to GG-14.

3. I found a report on a 2015 "Modern topics in energy and power technical meeting" held at the US Army Research Laboratory between 14-16 July 2015. One of the attendees was a James Lacatski, Department of Defence, with a DIA email address given. Interestingly, one of the organisers was one Dr Eric Davis.

Back to Isaac Koi:

Isaac's 30 April 2018 message to the UFO-collective continued:

"In relation to a question about an individual named in those papers (Jim Lacatski), Dr Eric Davis stated in the same email that Dr Lacatski was the "program manager at the DWO-4 for the AATIP contract with Bigelow Aerospace Advanced  Space Studies. AAWSA is the specific program task force or division within DW0-4 that Jim specifically worked in."

Paul Dean:

Also, on 30 April 2018, Melbourne researcher Paul Dean published a blog post about the AAWSA, revealing what he knows about this. It is well worth a read.

Questions:

The questions to be asked, are, was James T Lacatski the first AAWSA/AATIP program manager? Did Luis Elizondo take over from him?

Additional information:

I searched the Linked In website for a James T Lacatski, but no-one by this name was located. I searched Face Book for James T Lacatski; found one James Lacatski and have sent a message to that individual. I also located a DIA email address for Lacatski and sent an email off to this address. Unfortunately, it bounced back, not known at this address.

If any blog readers have further information on the subject of this blog post I would appreciate hearing from them.
