Determine whether or not Cincinnati investigators (Dr. Saenger, et. al.) have ever held security clearances and, if so, the period during which the clearances were held 14. Identify what, if any, advisory groups have historically served DNA, including brief descriptions of purpose and membership. IS. Look for records on coordination of R&D funds, and R&D programmatic documentation. 16. Search, by DTIC and/or other means, for DNAsponsored proceedings related to biomedical research, radiological warfare, radialion effects, etc. held in the Completed. Per phoncon between DDFRA and RECC of 24 Jun 94, FECC has completed this action item for Dr. Saenger. All work performed under DASA contracts with the University of Cincinnati was unclassified, therefore no security clearances were required for any of the investigators. DNA has no knowledge of security clearances for any of the researchers, other than Dr.Saenger. Documentation, if uncovered during ongoing DNA Technical Library and archival records searches, will be forwarded. Included as part of ongoing DNA Technical Library and archival rccords searches.
