I have spent 25 >>> years in research, design, development, test and management of >>> weapons development. This included: hands-on work at the Ballistic >>> Research Laboratories; Commander of the Air Force Armament >>> Technology Laboratory, and ultimately management responsibility >>> for almost every nonnuclear weapon device in the Air Force (at the >>> Air Force System command, Air Staff and the Office of the Secretary >>> of Defense (OSD) levels). I was also the first chairman of the OSD >>> joint service Air Munitions Requirements and Development Committee. >>> (A more detailed resume appears at Tab 1.) >>> >>> Observations in Oklahoma City: >>> >>> To verify earlier analysis, I visited Oklahoma City during the last week >>> of June. There I had the opportunity to view hundreds of photographs >>> taken throughout the cleanup operation as the layers of debris were >>> cleared away. The photos present irrefutable evidence that at least >>> four demolition charges were set off at four critical columns of the >>> reinforced concrete structure at the floor level of the third floor. >>> >>> Conclusion: >>> >>> Based on my experience in weapons development and bomb >>> damage analysis, and on my review of all evidence available, I can >>> say, with a high level of confidence, that the damage pattern on the >>> reinforced concrete superstructure could not possibly have been >>> attained from the single truck bomb. The total incompatibility of this >>> pattern of destruction with a single truck bomb lies in the simple, >>> incontrovertible fact that some of the columns collapsed that should >>> not have collapsed if the damage were caused solely by a truck >>> bomb, and, conversely, some of the columns were left standing that >>> should have collapsed if the damage had been caused solely by the >>> truck bomb. >>> >>> It is my hope and request that, as a Member of Congress, you will >>> support a Congressional investigation to determine the true initiators >>> of this bombing, which could not have occurred the way in which it >>> has been portrayed as having happened. >>> >>> Further, it is requested that you defer action and reserve judgment on >>> so-called antiterrorism legislation that has serious civil liberties >>> implications, and which would not be passed except for the Oklahoma >>> City bombing until the causes of the Oklahoma City disaster are >>> determined by independent investigators. >>> >>> Both the Federal Building in Oklahoma and the Trade Center in New >>> York (See New York Times, October 28, 1993, p. A1) show evidence of >>> a counterterrorism sting gone wrong. No government law >>> enforcement agency should be permitted to demolish, smash and >>> bury evidence of a counterterrorism sting operation, sabotage or >>> terrorist attack without a thorough examination by an independent, >>> technically competent agency. >>> >>> If an aircraft crashed because of a bomb, or a counterterrorism sting >>> or an FAA Controller error, the FAA would not be permitted to gather >>> and bury the evidence. The National Transportation Safety Board >>> would have been called in to conduct an investigation and where >>> possible every piece of debris would have been collected and arrayed >>> to determine cause of failure. >>> >>> To remove all ambiguity with respect to the use of supplementary >>> demolition charges, the FBI should be required to release the high >>> quality surveillance color TV camera tape of the Murrah building >>> bombing on April 19, 1995. >>> >>> It is my observation that the effort required to bomb the A. P.
