Let's hope that Bamford states in public he's filed a FOIA request, this
dispite NSA stating no such recordings had been made, and that was stated to
the WH as early as 22 June 1967.

Of course the latest story is that these "recordings" existed (having been
captured not by Nowicki's EC-121, but by a C-130), but alas all copies were
destroyed following dissemination nearly world-wide.

Depending on how time is given on Sunday, it might prove very informative
indeed.
