Hi (b)(6) 
I am reaching out in a final effort to avoid seeing this unfortunate situation escalate. As a soldier 
and public servant with decades of unblemished service, these false accusations are personally 
painful as you can well imagine. Moreover, the clearly inaccurate information released by your 
office has the potential to profoundly damage my career and with it my ability…

made up the stuff in these emails? Really? Check Neil's calendars and you will see these 
meetings occurred (as well as innumerable other meetings on my calendars). 
I am providing these documents to you to afford you and the Department a final opportunity to 
correct the record. Meanwhile, I am being pushed into a corner as you can well imagine and will 
soon be forced to engage an attorney and respond. The oversight committees are also well 
aware of my role and I believe appreciative of my efforts. 
In conclusion, it seems clear to me and others that there exists an extreme miscommunication…

Thanks Lue. I'm around next week, but then gone week of the 25th on a/I. For specific date/time, just 
work with  (b)(6) 
-  I'm not allowed to muck around with my calendar... (but I am in the building all 
day the 20th). 
Yep, have a discussion with Stean tomorrow. 
Thanks 
Neill

Gentlemen, 
Both Luis Elizondo himself and former DASD Chris Mellon have contacted our 
office because they believe the statements that we've put out regarding 
AATIP and particularly Elizondo's role in it, are false (and Elizondo is 
threatening to sue). Per the information we've received from DIA and 
OUSD(I), Elizondo was briefly…
