Dear Ms. Eyler:

        You asked for something in writing on the AEA bankrupcy, for 
your file, to justify not re-registering some AEA securities.      I'm 
providing what I can lay my hands on quickly for that purpose - and 
providing direction so you may pursue the matter further if you wish.

     These are jpg images.

I believe that Patricia Gibeault is still in practice in Madison.     
There is a longer document, not sent, that I can forward to you, or Mr. 
XXXXXXXX, on request.  It is titled "A Short Review of the Failure of 
Automotive Engine Associates and the Prospects for Success of Anatech 
Inc." dated January 20, 1987.   Anatech did not proceed, partly on the 
basis of that report.   The AEA patents have now expired, or are nearing
 the end of their lives.  

         I wish those old AEA securities were worth a great deal - and 
if it were in my power, they would be.   But I can't see any reason at 
all to re-register them, or value those pieces of paper at anything 
above 0.   If I can find a way of giving past AEA investors a return, 
which I've sometimes hoped to do, details like registration won't matter.
   I believe that details of who bought what, when, and for what 
interest can be reconstructed if a time for recompense ever comes.  As a
 record keeper - I'd put the AEA records in a "dead" file, and judge 
them worthless.   
   

         If you made the call to me, directly or indirectly, at the 
request of Mr. X.X. XXXXXXXXX, you might have other interests, or someone
 you send this to might have other interests.

	"AEA was an effort to make specific breakthroughs in automotive design,
 which were made; to greatly extend the culture's ability to apply and 
fit mathematical analysis to complex engineering tasks; to demonstrate a
 new engineering business structure generalizing Lockheed's "skunk works";
 and was a test bed that the government and I hoped would let me find 
the "hidden problem" in applied mathematics that seemed crucial in 
missile guidance and much else. There's more to say, and I'll be more 
explicit. A great deal about AEA can be checked, in detail - and I'll 
open any and all records, and explain the situation as best I can -

I was involved in the academic-military equivalent of an "extreme sports"
 stunt -- and it has been more complicated - in part because it has 
involved a mix of security problems, and paradigm conflict problems . . 
. . 

It has been, for me, the most fascinating nightmare imaginable. 

And taunting, because, in so many ways hope - intoxicating hope - has 
seemed so close. 

Here's a statement that may seem strange to you, manjumicha , but that 
seems central to me. 

Before AEA blew, in the early 1980's you could say, and I would have 
said, that we were very close to a triumph for almost everybody 
concerned, and for America -- a triumph for the military, for high 
officers like Casey, and even a triumph for humane values . . . for all 
the ugliness the Cold War involved. We were doing something new, 
something important, and it was working - - and Steve Kline had good 
reasons to take half time leave from his Stanford Professorship - 
against passionate opposition - to work on the project. A lot of people 
had reason to be proud - - - of themselves, and of America. 

Then Casey "pulled a plug" -- for reasons that made operational sense at
 the time. 

Then something unexpected happened - - I broke. Badly. For a while, 
actually lost the ability to read. 

That was more than 15 years ago, and I've done a good deal of work since.
 

There are few things more disastrous than a "tight" complicated sequence,
 with all sorts of things calculated to a "knats's eyelash" - that falls
 apart. 

But the "putting it back together" has been rough, but fascinating.

If I can get a workable way to proceed (and, so far as the security 
situation goes, a workable fiction would do) I believe that there's a 
lot to hope for.

"I believe that I'm doing, as nearly as it possibly can be done, exactly
 what Bill Casey would want me to do now, for the good of the United 
States of America, and for the safety and decency of the world." Is 
there deception here? One would have to check.

"I say here that I knew Bill Casey a little. 

"And of course, everything's deniable - I'm not sure anybody has any 
records at all. Maybe I'm a literary figure -- call me Ishmael. 

"The story I like best about me, in this regard, is that I'm just a guy 
who got interested in logic, and military issues. A guy who got 
concerned about nuclear danger, and related military balances, and tried
 to do something about it. Based on what he knew - with no access to 
special information of any kind, he made an effort to keep the world 
from blowing up, using the best literary devices he could fashion, 
consistent with what he knew or could guess. 

"Let me go on with another story." 
How much simpler my life would be, if I could proceed in confidence that
 people believed "the story I like best" -- fictions and all. 

Maybe, after actually asking questions of the government, that will be 
possible. 

If the government can't find records involving me and classified 
research -- hasn't and won't pay for the work - - and denies they were 
ever involved with me -- then perhaps I can own my past, unencumbered, 
and more into the future. 

Or, if there are encumberances, those encumberances can be defined.

I am terribly sorry that AEA failed, and lost everything I owned when it
 did.
