That report shows to what lengths someone in uh authority will go to make things um right. Really feel sorry for Reznikoff after hearing the exchange with the lawyer. Wow o wow.

An antidote is the story of one real and truly heroic Lt. Commander:
The Railroading of LCDR Terri Pike
By William Kelly

EXCERPT...
The ARRB meeting report said that, Pike explained that most of the relevant records they found were discovered by accident; that is to say, they were misfiled in boxes outside where they should have been. This is important for two reasons. 1) If they had been filed where they should have been, they would have been routinely destroyed by this point, and 2) as they continue their review of the approximately 900 cu feet of records they have self-identified, they expect they might well continue to discover records of interest to us...LCDR Pike further stated that ONI remained responsible for searching an additional 950 cubic feet of records located in Suitland, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco, and stated those searches were scheduled for completion during fiscal year 97..."
LCDR Pike Faxed the ARRB; indicating that she had finished a declassification review of the.8 cubic feet of defector records, and had prepared a page-by-page index of same. She indicated that transmittal of these documents would occur in the near future.
That appears to be the beginning of the end of such cooperation and the end of LCDR Terri Pike, as there are two different copies of this meeting report in two different typefaces, one with the first sentence of the fourth paragraph highlighted by two circles on one and completely redacted in the other. The line redacted reads: There are a total of 18 folders of material which ONI has determined should go into the JFK collection and have earmarked for delivery to us... Another redacted paragraph follows: Pike said that ONI is going through review of all records covered by the EO; in most cases, they have been willing to release in full about 96% of the documents. She said that for the other 4% they expected that the Board has the power to overrule them anyway, but they had to at least make the request. .
The redacted paragraph reads: Pike concluded her report by suggesting that we might find more of the records we suggested we wanted in BG38 the records of the CNO. She said that currently ONI is currently organizing a review team...to look through this group...however, ARRB staff may also wish to personally review these records for relevant material. She suggested that changes in alert status, etc. might also be found in CNO records...

Old news to MinM. News to America and the planet that, for some reason, the Press doesn't inform the public.
Heads up: the United States government is still hiding JFK assassination information from the American people, even though the Federal courts have ordered the release of the information. In the above example, LCDR Terri Pike was reprimanded after she discovered records of what the Office of Naval Intelligence knew about Oswald's "defection" to the USSR. For doing her job, she was railroaded out of the United States Navy.
Thank you, MinM! While your commitment to understanding and dedication to sharing the truth are their own rewards, I wish out loud and in public that I could send you a million dollars cash every time you move the pile forward.
