MEMORANDUM FOR SAF/AAZ
FROM: HQ AFOSIIHO
226 Duncan Ave Suite 21 00
Bolling AFB, DC 20332-0001
11 May 1994
SUBJECT: GAO Review on Records Management Procedures (Your memo 16 Mar 94)
1. This is to inform you that on 19 De~ember 1975, the HQ AFOSI History office
transferred two cubic feet of documents consisting of directives and policy guidance
relating to the conduct of investigations of the type GAO is reviewing and all investigative
files covering the period of 1948 to 1968 to the National Archives. You will find attached
a copy of the Standard Form 135, Record Transmittal and Receipt, signed by the Assistant
Chief, Military Projects Branch, National Archives, on that date (atch 1). My predecessor,
who was instrumental in transferring these records informed me that these were the only
records that AFOSI held. Currently, anyone who requests information on the subject from
HQ AFOSI/Information Release is directed to the National Archives. Further, you will
find attached a copy of my input to a staff meeting of8 February 1989 in which I noted
that 40 years earlier a meeting was held in the Southwest U.S. concerning subject (atch 2).
At that time, District 17, Kirtland AFB, NM, was designated to be responsible for
collection and reporting on aerial phenomena. That is about the only reference I've found
in AFOSI historical files relating to the subject for the period of 1948 to 1953. AFOSI did
not become operational until 1 August 1948, so we have no histories dealing with events
before that time.
2. If you have any further questions, please contact me at DSN 297-5725 or Commercial
(202)767-5725.
