Information concerning >activities at the operating location near Groom Lake has been properly >determined to be classified, and its disclosure would be harmful to >national security. Continued protection of this information is, >therefore, in the paramount interest of the United States. >The determination was not intended to imply that in the absence of a >Presidential exemption, RCRA or any other provision of law permits or >requires the disclosure of classified information to unauthorized >persons. The determination also was not intended to limit the >applicability or enforcement of any requirement of law applicable to >the Air Force's operating location near Groom Lake except those >provisions, if any, that would require the disclosure of classified >information. >Sincerely, > >WILLIAM J.

Why >can't they come out and say that the base is right there at Groom Lake!! >Even though the term AREA 51 signifies the geographical jurisdiction of the >Department of Energy (DOE) and not the Air Force, the fact of the matter is >that the Air Force controls the operations at the site. So, why not come out >clean and name the base Groom Lake/Area 51 facility!! > >We urge all concerned citizens, once again, to attend the upcoming People's >Rally at AREA 51 this June 6, 1999. >For more details, please go to: > >http://www.eagle-net.org/groomwatch > >God bless you all! > > >Norio Hayakawa ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
