Item 3.9: Corso's Curse
(Originally published in the July 2006 issue of UFO Magazine) By Larry W. Bryant "'It will be,' [1950's-era USAF chief of staff] General Twining said, 'a case where the cover-up is the disclosure and the disclosure is the cover-up.'" -- As quoted by the late Army Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso in his 1997 memoirs "The Day After Roswell," co-authored by William J. Birnes As with scores of other Roswell Incident insiders, Philip J. Corso lost the race with the undertaker; but just barely -- for Corso's Roswellian legacy and its modern aftermath won't ever bite the dust of benign neglect. Yes, ironically, his loss is becoming the body politic's self-perpetuating victory, as a sort of curse against those keepers of the Deepest Secret who feel we have no right to know -- and to confirm -- the full story as to how certain allegedly alien spacecraft debris journeyed, in July 1947, from desolate New Mexico ranch land to a new, cloned life amidst the high-tech devices that today's consumerism takes for granted: perfected devices owing their existence to the Corso-orchestrated, covert transfer to selected U. S. industrial giants of various "hardware from elsewhere," ranging from my little iMac's computer-chip circuits to Army helicopter aviators' night-vision goggles. When UFOmagazine publisher and Corso's co-author William J. Birnes learned of my planned Corso-redux column, he e-mailed me the following capsulization of the Curse of Corso: "In Corso's case, his advantage for [Gen. Arthur] Trudeau was that he was low-level and could fly below the radar. He was in Army R&D at the foreign technology desk for about 30 days and then essentially disappeared. He said that he became Trudeau's deputy. Actually, he became more of a courier, delivering Trudeau's messages to the industrial people that the Army wanted to fund. His wasn't an espionage or spy mission as much as it was a cover mission to get alien technology into the hands of mainstream defense industry engineers." Specifically, Birnes was responding to my brand-new series of freedom-of-information foraging into how certain federal agencies view the image of UFO-E.T. reality revealed by the Trudeau-Corso team of intelligence/R&D experts (see sidebars for the related correspondence). You see, back in 1998, I'd embarked on a mission to acquire all relevant agency dossiers on Corso's activities, associations, and motivations. The Federal Bureau of Investigation coughed up a few dozen pages of documentation, some of it painting a less-than-rosy picture of the Corso persona. Likewise, the FOIA folks at the U. S. Army Intelligence and Security Command at Fort Meade, Md., produced a modicum of previously unreleased documentation while (curiously) being unable to come up with Corso's DD Form 398 (Personal History Statement) summarizing the background events by which his application for a TOP SECRET security clearance was processed. (Note: From the Army's military personnel records center in St. Louis, I'd already received a copy of Corso's DA Form 66 (Officer Record Brief) logging his career-long assignment-and-training experience.) But, when I queried the always-cagey FOIA office at the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, I hit a major snag: since Corso was still alive in early 1998, the Agency felt obliged to notify me that they'd need to have a privacy-release form from him in order to fully produce any "responsive records"; plus: they refused to grant me a waiver of all records-search fees incident to their processing my request. As to the former impasse, Corso never got around to furnishing me a signed release form (did he fear I'd find some derogatory data in his CIA dossier?); as to the latter impasse, my appeal of their fee-waiver denial failed -- casting me as yet another casualty in the 60-year-old UFOinfowar, and earning the Agency additional points in its relentless march toward winning the 2006 Rosemary Award presented by the public-interest group National Security Archive (housed at The George Washington University -- see: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/ ). But, now with the passage of eight years (including Corso's death and my elevation to the columnar pages of this 20-year-old magazine), perhaps my literary corpse may rise from its premature burial to, once again (in the Agency's own words echoed by a FOIA-freed-up Aug. 14, 1973, memo), remind the Agency that they've "not heard the last from Mr. Bryant." (Refer, again, to the sidebar reproducing my May 4, 2006, FOIA request to the Agency.) Had Corso cheated the undertaker by living for, say, eight more productive years, certain political events might have intervened to thwart his progress in helping tell the greatest story ever never told. For example, the Bush regime's penchant for excessive secrecy and for retaliatory action against whistleblowers not only would stifle Corso's further efforts toward exposing the Deepest Secret; its chilling effect also would close the access-and-accountability door via such Draconian measures as the recent bill drafted by Congress to discourage/punish leaks of classified information (even, presumably, information revealing serious wrongdoing by officialdom). As reported in the April 27, 2006, issue of "Dissent is Patriotic" (the e-newsletter published by the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, headquartered in Northampton, Mass. -- http://www.bordc.org ), here's what might confront today's Corso and his cohorts in Truth-telling: "The House of Representatives votes this week on an Intelligence bill that includes a little-known provision that would revoke pensions for intelligence employees who make unauthorized disclosures, and it would give arrest powers to CIA and NSA security forces. It's part of the CIA crackdown on government leaks, and opens the door for these international [and intra-Cosmos? -- LWB] spy agencies to conduct domestic intelligence gathering. Critics call the plan a step backwards, towards 'Nixon-era abuses.'" The eternal paper chase inspired by Corso's bold expose of the Ultimate Cover-up now has become reenergized with my dispatch of a follow-up FOIA request to the INSCOM headquarters at Fort Meade (see the sidebar reproduction of my letter of May 7, 2006). This renewed quest for official Corso-ana centers on a bit of correspondence FOIA-released to me in 1998 by the INSCOM FOIA office. A woman whose name has been redacted from that material had sought from pertinent Army officials an investigation into whether Corso's published revelations amount to a breach of national security. In effect, the woman demanded to know: "Assuming that Corso has violated his secrecy oath, what are you guys going to do about it?" Well, Ms. Mystery Woman, we guys and gals here at UFO Magazine want to know their answer -- and more -- too. For starters, where are the records (and what do they say?) pertaining to any such investigation? If the Army chose not to investigate such a serious prospect, then does this inaction mean that ALL future UFO-coverup whistleblowers now have a free pass to reveal THEIR behind-the-curtain experiences and corroborative evidence? By continuing their inaction, are pertinent Army officials committing dereliction of a duty that we taxpayers pay them to perform? If so, shouldn't we be asking our congresscritters to investigate the investigators in this matter? (If you do write to your representative or a senator about this issue, please enclose a photocopy of this column -- and share their responses with me.) If either the Army or the CIA insists on falling on its Sword of Denial by dishonoring my requester status as a "representative of the news media," then they should find no surprise in learning that my attorney is awaiting receipt of my retainer fee for his services toward challenging that denial in federal court. Meantime, as we endure the snail pace of FOIA processing, let's pay unsilent tribute to the immortal Curse of Corso -- that self-described little man from a small town in western Pennsylvania who rose to majestic heights with a story still unfolding.

Alexandria, VA 22302 DATE: May 7, 2006 When the late Lt. Col. Philip James Corso (U. S. Army - Retired) published his memoirs in 1997 (The Day After Roswell; Pocket Books), he revealed his role, circa 1961-63, in coordinating the U. S. Army/Air Force/Navy's technological exploitation of certain artifacts retrieved from the debris of a crash-landed "flying saucer" on ranch land near Roswell, N. M. Because of that revelation (and related ones), a woman wrote to several military officials to express her concern that Corso's book constitutes the transmittal of highly classified national-security information to persons not officially authorized to receive, possess, and/or disseminate it for further public consumption. Of course, Corso, in his former role as a senior Army-intelligence and research-and-development analyst, may have viewed his "leakage" as nothing more than his belated exercise of declassification authority (assuming that he had possessed pertinent original-classification authority -- a rationalization mirroring that of President Bush's leakage of the Valerie Plame CIA information). At any rate, as an independent writer focusing on national-security affairs (including the politics of UFOlogy), I want to help the public resolve all issues about Corso's conduct, associations, motivations, and accountability in this matter. In doing so, I hereby submit this letter as a formal, written freedom-of-information request that you send me a copy of all INSCOM-generated and INSCOM-received records pertaining to your command's response to the above-cited woman's notification letter (whose text is quoted below) -- said records to include any and all reports-of-investigation, transcripts of interviews, counterintelligence assessments, wiretapping authorizations and transcripts, physical-search warrants, surveillance reports, after-action reports, damage-control planning documents, and all related correspondence, memoranda for record, briefing papers, and minutes of meetings. Since I submit this request as a "representative of the news media" in my capacity as a columnist for the newsstand periodical UFO Magazine, I ask that you waive all records-search fees incident to your fulfilling this request.

Fort Belvoir, VA 22060 Dear Commander: By his own admission in his book "The Day After Roswell," Army Lt. Col. (Ret.) Philip J. Corso (see enclosed material) has been publicly revealing information obtained during the course of his R&D/intelligence work on highly classified projects and programs at the Pentagon during 1961--63. He cites no official clearance or legal authority for making these revelations about the Army's possession of certain artifacts and analyses generated by crash-landed "flying saucers" during the period 1947--74. Therefore, I ask that your command investigate and report on the extent to which Corso's revelations constitute a breach of national security, and to explain to me what action the Army plans to take upon finding that he thus has shared classified information with persons unauthorized to receive it.

Alexandria, VA 22302 DATE: May 4, 2006 In his 1997 book "The Day After Roswell," UFO-coverup whistleblower Philip James Corso (Social Security No.: 194-01-8316; born: May 22, 1915; died: July 16, 1998 -- see enclosed copy of his obituary from the newsletter of the International UFO Museum and Research Center at Roswell, N.M.) recounts, in chapter 10 ("The U2 Program and Project Corona: Spies in Space"), how the CIA-managed, covert U2 flights over the Soviet Union were helping CIA analysts learn "about the Russian air defense system at the same time they were surveilling possible areas of alien spacecraft activity." That revelation, coming as it does from a former, senior U. S. Army intelligence officer with a history of highly sensitive contributions to U. S. national security, not only sheds laserlike light upon the policymaking decisions, operations, and activities of the federal government; it also places your agency at the center of the perennially renewed international discussion as to what certain U. S. officials know (and when they knew it) about UFO reality. And the UFO-reality revelation happens to be not the only Corso-related interaction with CIA interests. Within the U. S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's formerly classified, FOIA-released dossier on Corso's activities, several passages pertain to CIA awareness of them. One of these (partially redacted) passages occurs in a Feb. 11, 1965, FBI memorandum addressed to FBI Assistant Director C. D. DeLoach by Special Agent M. A. Jones; it reads: ". . . and CIA characterized Corso as a parasite who has never produced any intelligence through his own efforts, but who has profited from information developed by hundreds of dedicated Government agents and investigators." In another paragraph of the same memo, Mr. Jones notes: "The [FBI] Director indicated he wanted the FBI kept out of the resulting dispute between G-2 [Army Intelligence] and CIA. (100-420468)." Of course, the piece de resistance in the Corso legacy consists of his whistleblowing two-page affidavit filed in June 1998 in the U. S. District Court for the District of Arizona -- via Citizens Against UFO Secrecy v. Department of the Army (Civil Action No. 98-0538 PHX ROS). Here's the text of the affidavit: "I, [Lt.] Col. Philip J. Corso, do hereby swear, under the penalties of perjury, that the following statements are true: "That at all times hereinafter mentioned, I was a member and officer of the defendant. "That during my tenure with the defendant I was a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at defendant's Research & Development department. "That on or about July 6, 1947, while stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, I personally observed a four-foot non-human creature with bizarre-looking four-fingered hands, thin legs and feet, and an oversized incandescent-light-bulb-shaped head. The eye sockets were oversized and almond-shaped and pointed down to its tiny nose. The creature's skull was overgrown to the point where all its facial features were arranged frontally, occupying only a small circle on the lower part of the head. There were no eyebrows or any indications of facial hair. The creature had only a tiny flat slit for a mouth and it was completely closed, resembling more of a crease or indentation between the nose and the bottom of the chinless skull than a fully functioning orifice. "That in 1961, I came into possession of what I refer to as the 'Roswell File.' This file contained field reports, medical autopsy reports and technological debris from the crash [of] an extraterrestrial vehicle in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. "That I have personally read the medical autopsy reports which refer to the autopsy of the previously described creature that I saw in 1947 at Fort Riley, Kansas. "That said autopsy reports indicated the autopsy was performed at Walter Reed [Army] Hospital, which was under the authority of the defendant at the time of the autopsy. "That said autopsy report referred to the creature as an 'extraterrestrial biological entity.'" Although the content of Corso's smoking-gun affidavit has yet to be echoed within the CIA's several hundred pages of UFO-related documentation already FOIA-released, or subject to future release/leakage, to the public, it nevertheless epitomizes (as do the "leaked," corroborative "Majestic-12" documents) the fact that the Roswell Incident remains the dead horse that never dies (or that never gets fully buried so long as whistleblowers of Corso's caliber keep surfacing and singing). Assuming there exist any CIA-generated records pertaining (1) to Corso's activities during his days as, say, a research assistant in Sen. Strom Thurmond's office and/or (2) to the revelations in/aftermath of his memoirs (The Day After Roswell), I need to know -- and the public interest will benefit from my sharing that historical knowledge -- the contents of those records. Accordingly, I hereby request, under terms of the U. S. Freedom of Information Act, that you send me a copy of all CIA-generated and CIA-received records pertaining to Lt. Col. Corso and his associations, activities, congressional testimony, and motivations. Since I submit this request as an independent writer (and hence, in FOIA language, as a "representative of the news media") for such newsstand periodicals as FATE magazine and UFO magazine, I ask that you waive all records-search fees incident to your fulfilling this request.
