I got in FAA site OK. But, look what happens when you try to access THIS site: http://www.army.mil/army-y2k/depsecdef_dod_civil_support.htm

It's DOD site, where following memo was located. I tried to access the site a couple of weeks ago and was was automatically transferred to another site ... which was rather intimidating. All kinds of pretty forceful stuff about not being able to reproduce info contained on site. I can't recall if I had to register or not. I decided not to go into the site, because even if I didn't register ... with "cookies" ... I could be located. I was afraid to go into the site and reproduce the info on the net.

Now I get the 404 Error message.

Actually, I was always amazed that we could get access to this kind of information, and was surprised that they didn't limit access sooner. I wish they didn't. But can understand why.

ANYWAY ... HERE'S A PORTION OF THE MEMO (Wish I had copied the whole thing.)

Me again. I typed in dod in the search field on the new site and found your memo and a lot of other stuff. I don't believe the Army would post secret stuff on a web site though. Would they?
