Wayne Downing (Ret.), who also worked on domestic and international business development for the company, and was a member of the board of The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq.

32.SAIC former employee Jerome Hauer is a Bio-Warfare expert who is well known in New York City for having created former mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in World Trade Center 7 – the building that inexplicably imploded in a freefall on September 11, 2001, without having been hit by an airplane. Hauer’s corporate affiliations include SAIC, Batelle, CSC-DynCorp, Hollis-Eden, and one of the nation’s most powerful private investigative and security firms Kroll Inc., among others. Now BioPort has been added to his resume.

33. SAIC former employee Jerome Hauer became director of the federal Office of Public Health Preparedness (OPHP) in 2002, succeeding Dr. D. A. Henderson from Johns Hopkins Institute... ...Hauer is controversial among those who are able to connect the dots between his person and shady business deals in biopharmacy since 1998. More interesting, he seems to have had prior knowledge about both so called terrorist-attacks: September 11th and Anthrax. But many private investigators claim since months, he let the attacks happen on purpose to continue his career. Is Hauer Lihopsuspect No.1? He started to work for the NIH under Tommy Thompson on September 10, 2001 as an adviser on national security. On September 11th, he told the White House to take Cipro, the antibiotic that works against the anthrax virus, without bothering to reveal his warning to the American nation.

34. SAIC former employee Duane Andrews  who considered Dick Cheney to be his personal, lifelong hero. While he worked for Cheney, Andrews supervised Stephen Cambone, who went on to become Donald Rumsfeld’s “special assistant.” When Andrews left the Pentagon in 1993, he became chief operating officer for SAIC, where he supervised “much of the company's work on secret projects with defense and national security agencies.” Andrews and Cambone both later hired on to the British intelligence firm Qinetiq, along with George Tenet. Coincidentally, The Carlyle Group was a major shareholder in Qinetiq as of February 2003. (See: link b, c)

35. In the 1990s, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), run by Dick Cheney’s protégé Duane Andrews, trained the Saudi Navy and  instructed Saudi military personnel at its company headquarters in San Diego. SAIC had a greater impact on counterterrorism programs in the United States than any other non-government entity and it profited greatly from 9/11.

While SAIC was training the Saudi Navy, the Carlyle/BDM subsidiary Vinnell Corporation was training the Saudi Arabian National Guard.  Simultaneously, Booz Allen Hamilton was managing the Saudi Marine Corps and running the Saudi Armed Forces Staff College.

36. SAIC installed the Saudi naval command, control, and communications C3 system in the early l980s. The current program involves about 50  technicians employed to maintain and upgrade the system. After the C3 system was commissioned and initial training had been completed, the SAIC staff began a phase-down. The Gulf War demonstrated a significant need for both software and systems upgrades, however, and MODA negotiated a staff increase and contract extension with SAIC.

A few more questions concerning SAIC and 9/11? As stated in Valcichs letter p.4., line item #3:

In the summer of 2001, it was suggested that SAIC do a "phased" pilot so that some aspect fo CityTime could be implemented before teh change in Administration. This was conditional on SAIC completing the Pilot Phase 1 by year-end, viz. December 2001.

But the city discovered that the status of the builds had been misrepresented. Build 4A was nowhere near completion. This "contrasted drastically" with what had been represented to the City. It's been a year and a half since then and SAIC is yet to complete the Release 1A test: and of course OPA and FISA have yet to be implemented. In fact the date for their implementation has been delayed three times, totaling 11 months.

Specifically, how many offices did SAIC have in NYC?
Specifically, how many offices of SAIC where empty in NYC/VA on the morning of 9/11?
Specifically, who where the engineers on the SAIC team for Build 1-4A in the summer of 2001?
Specifically, how many SAIC engineers did the team comprise of?
Specifically, what where their backgrounds, and skills-sets?
Specifically, what was the specific geolocation address of the City-Time project?
Specifically, was there more than one geoloacation of the City-Time project?
Specifically, how close to the World Trade Center Complex was the City-Time project in the summer of 2001?
Specifically, was the SAIC City-Time team doing work in any of the World Trade Center buildings in the summer of 2001?
Specifically, what "other" government contracts/projects both classified or unclassified was SAIC working on in NYC prior to 9/11 that have yet to be made public?

                                                  June 2001 FBI SAIC Allegations

In June 2001 the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) paid SAIC $122 million to create a Virtual Case File (VCF) software system to speed up the sharing of information among agents. But the FBI abandoned VCF when it failed to function adequately. Robert Mueller, FBI Director, testified to a congressional committee, "When SAIC delivered the first product in December 2003 we immediately identified a number of deficiencies – 17 at the outset. That soon cascaded to 50 or more and ultimately to 400 problems with that software ... We were indeed disappointed."  SAIC executive vice president Arnold L. Punaro claimed that the company had "fully conformed to the contract we have and gave the taxpayers real value for their money." He blamed the FBI for the initial problems, saying the agency had a parade of program managers and demanded too many design changes. During 15 months that SAIC worked on the program, 19 different government managers were involved and 36 contract modifications were ordered, he said.

                                        SAIC at Ground Zero On The Morning of 9/11

Coincidentally, the story of Special Forces expert John Blitch and "Ground Zero" began on the first day of his employment with SAIC: September 11, 2001. According to Wired magazine, on 9/11/01 John Blitch happened to be leaving his position as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army's Special Forces to direct the Center for Intelligent Robotics and Unmanned Systems at the Science Applications International Corporation facility in Colorado. John Blitch had been charged by the U.S. Army's Special Forces with heading the Defense Department's Tactical Mobile Robots Program within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, over the preceding three years.

According to Kevin Ryan, John Blitch had also been in his U.S. Army career chief of unmanned systems at the U.S. Special Operations Command (US SOCOM), a Command which conducts "covert and clandestine missions", and John Blitch had also won an award for his 'ground-breaking research in robot assisted search and rescue conducted during the Oklahoma City Bombing response.' According the Association for Computing Machinery, John Blitch used his Oklahoma City research to 'develop many of the robot platforms that were eventually used at the WTC.'

                                  Ohio replaces voting machine reviewer SAIC (link b, c)

Secretary of State Ken Blackwell has replaced a firm slated to help conduct the security review of Ohio''s newly certified voting machines -- after his office discovered that the firm had a financial interest in one of the machine makers. The decision followed his office''s discovery that an arm of Science Applications International Corp. had promised to make a $5 million investment that would benefit Hart Intercivic. Hart was one of four voting machine vendors qualified this summer to sell voting machines to Ohio counties. SAIC, a Fortune 500 research and engineering firm, was to share the job of reviewing the firms'' machines and software. The review was to identify security weaknesses that might jeopardize the integrity of next year''s presidential election. [...] Blackwell said his office''s procedures for identifying potential conflicts "surfaced a potential area of conflict [for SAIC] that saved us from embarrassment and probably legal entanglements." His decision to disqualify SAIC also headed off a second potential conflict for SAIC: It shares a lobbyist with another of Ohio''s preferred vendors, Diebold Election Systems.
