"It was General Staudt, not then Lt. Colonel Hodges [who succeeded Staudt], that was putting on the pressure to whitewash Bush. For instance he didnt take his flight examination or his physical. And the pilots had to take them by their birthdays.

Exactly. Bush's birthday is July 6th. The phony memos re the physical pre-dated this by a period of months.

This lady is evidently a Bush hater but recognizes that the evidence that the memo's are forgeries is overwhelming. She does the next best thing..takes the DNCBS line, says that the sentiments are "correct".

You can add that Air Force Manual 35-13 had nothing to do with physical examinations cited in the 'May 04, 1972' Memo.

AFR 35-13 is responsible for Military Force Management; DOD Instruction of Special Pay for Foreign Language Proficiency.

Moreover, I would like to point out that AF Manuals (AFMs) are not AF Regulations(AFRs) or Air Force Instructions(AFIs). It's very doubtful that Killian would make such a factual error. No one cites AFMs with In Accordance With (IAW).

Air Force Manuals are used for guidance not general orders.

any possibility that Knox forwarded the memos and is now feeling some heat?
