    Dear Stan:

    I received a letter from Fred Darwin of Dallas, Texas, in which
    he laid down the history of N.D.R.C. - O.S.R.D. as it became J.D.R.B.
    and eventually ended up becoming R.D.B. He gave me names of persons
    whom he considered to be the most likely candidates for team members
    on a Flying Saucer recovery operation - "if there were ever such a
    happening". They are as follows:

    (1) Dr. Vannevar Bush
    (2) Dr. Karl T. Compton
    (3) Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner
    (4) Dr. Robert F. Rinehart
    (5) Dr. Eric A. Walker
    (6) Dr. John Von Neumann

    I did some library research on each name, xeroxing a biography
    of each individual, and looking up their descendants in local area
    telephone directories.
    Stan, I believe that the name of that individual, whom Sarbacher
    mentioned as attending all of the meetings pertaining to recovered
    flying saucers, is Dr. Eric A. Walker.
    ------------------
    Remember Sarbacher stating (moore let me hear that tape
    recording) that this man came from Pennsylvannia and wrote a book
    on Electrical Engineering; well Walker, at that time, was President
    of Penn state university, was formerly head of Penn States electrical Engineering Dept., wrote a book on Electrical Engineering, and was a
    consultant ("dollar a year man") to J.R.D.B 1949-1951. He also was in
    charge of a naval laboratory that was developing electronically sonar
    guided Torpedoes - which were consequently showing very positive
    results against the Japanese during WW II.
    The last residence that I have for him is as follows:

    Dr. Eric A. Walker
    Rock Springs Farm Pennsylvania
    Furnace, Pennsylvania
    16895

    I suppose that Moseley contacted you as pertaining to Dr. Robert
    I. Sarbacher. This only proves one thing to me; Moseley is just as
    interested in the Crash-Recovery cases as he was in 1954.
    Stan, I am not doing research for Todd Zechel, altho I did have
    an earlier run-in with him, which I later regreted. My main goal is
    to solve the Flying Saucer Enigma, through the recovery and attempted duplication cases.
    Please let me know what you find out through Dr. Walker, and do
    keep in touch.

    Very Sincerely
    WM Steinman
