Documents / FOIA release
This Defense Intelligence Agency release is a packet prepared for the Deputy Secretary of Defense before a November 17, 2009 meeting with Senator Harry Reid. It contains a memo from Under Secretary James R. Clapper Jr., talking points, and Reid's June 24, 2009 letter asking for restricted Special Access Program protection for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Application Program, which Reid called AATIP. It also includes DIA reviews of 26 Bigelow Aerospace technical reports. DIA and Clapper found no justification for a Special Access Program.

Ultimately, the results of AATIP will not only benefit the U.S. Government but I believe will directly benefit DoD in ways not yet imagined. The technological insight and capability gained wiU provide the U.S. with a distinct advantage over any foreign threats and allow the U.S. to maintain its preeminence as a wor]d leader. Thank you in advance from your time and consideration of this request. If you or your staff have any questions, please contact l~(_b_)(_6_)_____________~ Sincerely, HfJ.:_YREI United States Senator HR:rth
