has now written to the Asst. to the DCI and said that he has
received two letters from Elwood, one in Apr saying that ATIC had never
received the recording and one in Aug saying another Govt Agency has analyzed
the tape. He asks who the Morse Operator was and what is the name of the Agenny
that did the analysis.
We have called Col. Baird in ATIC who originally asked that we allow ATIC
to answer the query He and we agree that you can
probably do a better job of pacifying than all the letters in the world.

at the Agency can not be identified since he has
already been told by the DCI's office that it was another Govt. Agency and the
tape has been destroyed.
Please contact him as soon as possible referring to Capt. Elwood's second
letter and identifying yourself as Air Force. Can't make-many concrete suggestions
on how to turn him off but please see if you can satisfy him once and for all.
(Baird's suggestion is for you to put on the concrete Boots if all else fails.).
The DCI's office has not answered his latest Ietter'and will not answer
it if you can satisfy him. If the question arises as it might very well, you
will have to tell him that the Agency in question is one which does nothing
but classified work and would not he able to identify the field of its activities.
Sorry to hand you such a mess but there is no other solution we can think of.
