normal course of his duty was sent to Washington not 8th Air Force in Fort Worth. He was
attached to the S09th, but his chain of command was different than the 8th Air Force, that's ... "
SC: That's one of the few true stories they had in this book.
RW: "In fact he talked about many things willingly. He said the ranks ofCIC agents were all
classified at the time" (I know that's the way it was in OSI for years) "It didn't look right to have a
Master Sergeant investigating a Colonel so no one on the base, except for a few clear to know,
had any idea of what he or any ofthe others were. (Of course, that's the way we did business.)
SC: True.
RW: "He provided names of others who might be able to help and he described his normal
unclassified duties at Roswell, but according to him the crash and recovery had never happened.
There was no investigation on the Foster ranch, no mystery fti~ and no discovery of alien
bodies, nothing." Now we are getting to the part were they make you sound like somewhat of a
conspirator. It said, "Randall said he and Schmitt had literally two dozen witness' to the special
flights out of Roswell and the special clean up operation on the ranch. Something must have
happened, the CIC man finally conceded, but I don't know what it was. As they left, the CIC man
asked them, if you boys found something that affected national security would you keep it to your
self? The former CIC man grins, and said 'very good'." So, somehow, by that remark, I imply
that this was kind of, "I know something that you guys don't and if affects national security so
we're not going to tell you." That's the way that I interpret what they wrote. Becau~ the rest of
ifjust kind of recounts the way we did business, even when I came into OSI twenty years after
that.
SC: You think they're talking about me there, "the former CIC man?"
RW: Yeah.
SC: If I said that, I probably said it really meaning that if' these guys trying to make a buck
writing their sensational book run into to somethiDg that reaDy affected national security, I meant
don't put it in a book.
RW: Yeah. OK.
SC: Tum it over to somebody.
RW: But you weren't implying that this incident affected national security and you weren't going
talk about it?
SC: Oh, no! No way.
RW: OK. I see you have some materials you brought out here. That looks like one of you basic
agent classes. Is that one of your basic agent classes there?
