REPLY TO
ATTENTION OF:
SGRD-JA (15-6a) 11 March 1993
MEMORANDUM FOR COLONEL McCARTY
SUBJECT: Suggestions on the Conduct of the ASAP Investigation
1. Read the statutes and regulations carefully. Of special
concern is 18 USC 1913. For your convenience, I have also tabbed
the report wherever there is relevant/significant evidence to
your investigation.
2. Conduct interviews with the following:
a. LTC Redfield (in person).
b. COL Burke (in person).
c. Shepherd Smith (in person/phone).
d. Vahey (in person).
e. Dan Lucey (phone).
f. Any individuals in a position to have directly observed
interaction between Command personnel and ASAP personnel.
3. I would gather evidence about the ASAP organization first,
such as their charter, brochures describing their organization,
newsletters put out by ASAP, etc. This can be done by calling
the organization directly. I would also obtain the Vahey and
Lucey memoranda, probably from Colonel Dangerfield. Then I would
interview all on the same day. Lieutenant Colonel Redfield (in
person), COL Burke (in person), and Mr. Shepherd Smith (in
person, if possible, but phone okay). I would explain to
LTC Redfield and COL Burke that you are focusing only on their
relationship with ASAP. I would ask questions of each of them
based on the evidence you've acquired up until that time, making
your questions as specific as possible. I suggest the following
questions be asked of both COL Burke and LTC Redfield:
a. What is your understanding of the charter of ASAP?
b. Have you served or been a member of the "Scientific
Advisory Board" or the "Executive Committee" of ASAP?
