AAWSAP gaps: the missing reply to Sen. Reid (2009) and the one withheld DIRD

Documented · occurred Handling What these labels mean →

Sen. Harry Reid asked the Deputy Secretary of Defense (24 Jun 2009) to make the AAWSAP study a restricted special access program. DIA later judged there was not 'adequate justification.' The Deputy Secretary's formal reply has never surfaced. Of 38 DIRDs produced for AAWSAP, 37 were released and one remains withheld.
