Copies of these instructions were submitted to ATSNAE9 on 8 July 94. Conpleted. Per phoncon between DDFRA and RECC of 24 June 94, RECC has completed this action item for Dr.Saenger. All work performed under DASA contracts with the University of Cincinnati was unclassified, therefore no security cleamnces were required for any of the investigators. DNA has no knowledge of security clearances for any of the researchers, other than Dr. Saenger. Included in ongoing review of archive documents.
