If I get this right, the memo's were written in Times Roman font, but the military (per DOD instruction) has always used Courier 12. Has anyone else seen any official documents written in Times Roman?

Don't know about 1972 --not sure which version of Windows the TX ANG used then; but in the AF today all Awards, Performance reports and official correspondence is done in Courier 10, 12, or 14. I have been in the USAF for 23 years, and every doc I have done on a word processor has been in Courier 12.

Now the unit I am in currently does use Times New Roman 12 for "Soft copy" correspndence.

The reasoning for using Courier is that it is the closest MATCH to the old documents done on Typewriters.

I haven't. Even the document with the th in it that Dan Rather used as evidence was in Courier. If there were comparable documents done in Times Roman, CBS would point those out. But they haven't.
