i would like a copy of this document if possible, if there is one. I am trying to keep a record of all possible leads. I spoke with a represenitive with DPMO and we have opened a file. He said any information that i find to let them know and they can put it with the records that they already have and don't have. I'm sure we all know how the U.S. goverment can be quick on there feet.
