# 07D18-1DETAILS1.  On 28 July 1969, SUBJECT Voluntarily appeared at 051 Detachment 710. Eglin AFB, FL and released a previcusly prepared signed, notarized, undated statement pertinent portions of which are set forth as follows:My assignment is Assistant to the Commander of the Air Force Arma- ment Laboratory. I am responsible for many staff duties, the following of which bear directly upon my official actions which were taken in connection with the matter being investigated. (These, of course, are known by Colonel Hartin). Although SIOMICS never has made a sale to the Air Force Armanent Laboratory, or been awarded a contract by the lab, they are working on developments related to laboratory require- ments and continue to try to come up with attractive proposals. They are welcome to keep working to meet our requirements as are other con- tractors who naturally try to make sales.As APSC munitions specialist in SEA for the second tour, during 1969, I was directed officially to work with SIGNICS in the combat theater. The AFSO Liaison detachment was requested by its chain-of- command supervisor, Colonel Louis Schaffer, AFSC Assistant for Limited War, Hq ASD (ASJ), WPAFB, to afford the SIONICS representative every assistance to include assisting him to get materials in and out of the country (Vietnam), to introduce him to units in the theater to whom he could demonstrate SIGNICS itens developed to use in combat, to advise and assist him in obtaining quarters and transportation, and in short, to assist him in every way to perform his mission. The recipient of this direction was Colonel William Fagan, Commander of the AFSC Liaison Detachment and my boss in SEA.The facts in this paragraph are set down only because of the nature of the questions raised by the OSI. First, why did we telephone SIONICS? to have aWe have already mentioned the base defense proposal SIONICS wishes to submit and for which they made advance queries. In addition to this subject, SIONICS called frequently to find out if we had received evaluations through the SEA liaison office of the items placed through- out the combat theater as previously explained. Many of these were still outstanding when I left Vietnam. We checked to see if any had been received after each call and called back. Sometimes we were out when called and were requested to call back. Also, of course, there were calls about the shipments. Second, what are our personal relations with SIONICS? AFSC liaison office in SEA and for the Armament Lab as herein explained. My actions have been directed and authorized or no special or unusual favors have been done for SIONICS. I have had only one social contact with Mr. Brown. A few weeks ago, the Brons21443

07016-1DETAILS Contd(of SIONICS) took us to an Atlanta Braves-Los Angeles Dodgers base-ball game and the next evening we invited them to dinner as our guest at the Marriott Hotel. We spent more on then than they had on us. We have many contractor friends and acquaintances and are very careful to go "Dutch" in social affairs. This is the standard and the require-ment for military people who have dealings with contractors. Regulations prohibit us from accepting any form of gratuity so we make certain we go more than half way in meeting social obligations. We have no especial relations or connections with SIONICS or any other contractor, nor has SIONICS ever suggested or hinted we have any. Further SIONICS has never demonstrated or hinted at any tendency to evade laws, licenses or other requirements.The original of the above statement is being retained in the files of OSI District 7 and will be available to proper authority upon request. A reproduced copy of the statement is appended to this report as an attachment.2. On 5 August 1969, Mr. ROBERT CORBIN, Investigator, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Control Division, Internal Revenue Service, Pensacola, FL, telephonically advised that his agency had initiated an investigation concerning the involvement of SIONICS, Inc in this matter but that results of their inquiry were not yet available. CORBIN advised that his agency would furnish the results of their investigation upon com pletion.3. On 20 August 1969, William COODMAN, Special Investigator, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Control Division, Internal Revenue Services, Pensacola, Florida advised Special Agent Grover C. Ayers, Jr. that investigation being conducted by his service is continuing; however, he has not received any additional information from the Atlanta, Ca Office. He advised that upon receipt of additional information it would immediately be made available to OSI.4. On 22 August 1969, ABNER B. MARTIN, Colonel, SSAN: 251-30-1478FR, Commander, Air Force Armament Laboratory (AFATL), Eglin AFB, FL was interviewed at his duty station and advised substantially as follows: AFATL developes all types of weapons for the USAF, but very few small arms are required, therefore there is litt le activity in the small arms area. At the present AFATL is developing a survival weapon which is in the small arms area. SUBJECT, as a representative of AFATL while on TDY in SEA could send captured enemy weapons of any type or quantity to AFATL for test purposes, based on his judgment, if he followed ostablished procedures which would include notifying AFATL that such weapons were being sent back. Colonel MARTIN stated that to the best of his knowledge AFATL received no indication or notification that any such weapons were being sent to APATL. Colonel MARTIN further stated that the onezy weapons in this case could conceivably be used either

07018-1DETAILS Contdin testing or as museum pieces. Colonel MARTIN also said that hefelt it unusual that SUBJECT would have such frequent telephonic con-versations with SIONICS at government expense. Colonel MARTIN furtherstated that the AFATL has no contract with SIONICS, nor has the USAFever had any contract with SIONICS and SUBJECT had no authority to shipany weapons to SIONICS for any purpose.5. On 27 August 1969, CLARENCE M. COOLEY, 08-9, SSAN 505-32-7744,   Logistics Officer, AFATL (ATDA-Log), was reinterviewed at Eglin AFB,   FL, and advised that when weapons are shipped by his office, they are   always listed by serial number, and he at no time told SUBJECT that   he should list a shipment of weapons as *"miscellaneous equipment"*.   COOLEY further stated that to the best of his knowledge no shipments   are made from AFATL to a non-contractor.6. On 27 August 1969, PAUL (NHN) ARNOLD, SSgt, FR489-38-5452, Logistics   Office, APATL, Eglin AFB, FL, was reinterviewed at his duty station and   advised that at no time did he advise SUBJECT that a shipment of weapons   could be listed as *"miscellaneous equipment"*. ARNOLD further stated   that weapons are always shipped by serial number, in accordance with   the SOP which so specifies.7. On 27 August 1969, EUCLIDE P. BEAUDOIN, GS-12, SSAN: 087-14-3917,   Staff Transportation Office, 3201st Transportation Squadron, Eglin AFD,   FL, advised at his duty station that sometime subsequent to 15 July   1969, SUBJECT telephoned him at his office and inquired as to the pro-   per procedures for shipping material to Air Force Contractors; and if   a memorandum signed by a *"responsible officer"* would serve as justifi-   cation for the shipment. BEAUDOIN stated that he advised SUBJECT that   any property being sent at government expense to a contractor had to be   contractorally authorized prior to being shipped and to have been   cleared through the base contracting office. BEAUDOIN stated that he   further advised SUBJECT that the justification should contain the state-   ment that the item being shipped was government property and that   receipt of the material being sent by the contractor was advantageous   to the government.8. On 27 August 1969, DALE N. DAVIS, GS-15, SSAN: 232-42-3600, Technical   Director of Cuns and Rockets, AFATL, Eglin AFB, FL was interviewed at   his duty station and advised that prior to Colonel PINKSTON's retirement   he had worked in the same facility with him. DAVIS further advised that   as early as April or May 1967, his facility had been experimenting with   noise supressors manufactured by SIONICS, which were furnished to AFATL   at no expense to the government for evaluation. DAVIS also stated that1445Reviewed By AFOSIFor Public DisclosureIn Accordance WithJFKARCA, 1992![Reviewed By AFOSI For Public Disclosure In Accordance With JFKARCA, 1992]14 AUG 95NW 88613 Docld:34530443 Page 23

07018-1DETAILS ContaAPATL has no contract with SIOGICS nor does he know of any plans to enter into a contract with SIONICS, due to the fact that the Air Force has no need at this time for noise supressors. DAVIS added that in his opinion AFATL would need not more than one of each type of foreign weapon for evaluation by AFATL and he knew of no requirement to send any weapons to SIONICS.ATTACHMENT1.

Two boxes containing a total of 21 weapons, 5 noise suppressors, and related equipment seized. Both boxes marked for SUBJECT. Munitions officials advised boxes were stored at request of SUBJECT. Deputy Comdr, AFATL, advised his agency was queried by ARPA, a DOD agency, about a box of weapons being sent through ARPA channels. Investigation disclosed SUBJECT sent 12 weapons to Eglin AFB from SEA while TDY in RVN in Nov 68. Eleven of these weapons were subsequently shipped from Eglin AFB to Sionics, Atlanta, at SUBJECT's request and at government expense. The twelfth weapon recovered at Eglin AFB. Deputy Comdr, AFATL, advised SUBJECT had no known authority to send weapons from SEA nor to ship weapons to Sionics; Sionics does not have AF contract.

In verbal statement, SUBJECT advised he shipped one box containing 12 captured enemy weapons from SEA in approximately Nov 68 as part of his assigned duties to assist Vice-President of Sionics; that 11 of the weapons were subsequently forwarded to Sionics in Mar 69, because he considered Sionics an AF contractor. He advised that official telephone calls were placed for same reason. SUBJECT stated he acted as an agent for the USAF in all instances. He declined to execute a written statement at this time.

# 07D 18-1DETAILS1. This investigation was requested by the Commander, Eglin AFB, Florida on 7 July 1969, based on a request from the Commander, Air Force Armament Laboratory (AFATL), Eglin AFB, to determine the circumstances surrounding the importation of three boxes of captured enemy weapons by PAUL ARNOLD MARRIOTT (SUBJECT), Lt Col, 513-10-4236FR, AFATL, during the approximate period of November 1968 - July 1969.2. On 7 July 1969, at Eglin AFB, Florida, a letter dated 3 July 1969, from the Commander, AFATL, was reviewed and the body of the letter is set forth as follows:"1. It is requested that an investigation be conducted to determine if the laws/regulations regarding the importation of firearms have been complied with in the following instance."a. Approximately the first week in June Mr Beard of ARPA called Colonel Berkow of ADTC and inquired about a box of enemy weapons that had been shipped through the transportation capabilities of ARPA to Eglin AFB, Attention of Lt Colonel P. A. Marriott. Colonel Berkow called the Armament Laboratory (AFATL) since Lt Colonel Marriott is assigned to AFATL."b. A search was made to locate the shipment. Two boxes were found each containing North Vietnamese weapons. Both boxes were addressed as follows: FB2823 USAF (DOL-AFSC) Attn L/C P. A. Marriott."c. Subsequently, it was discovered that a shipment of North Vietnamese weapons and ammunition had been received at Eglin in early March and had been reshipped to Sionics Corporation, 1655 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia. The attached documents pertain to this shipment."2. Colonel J. H. Hobaugh, telephone 882-2763, will be available to discuss in more detail the above information."The above letter is being retained in the files of OSI District 7 and will be available to proper authority upon request.3. On 9 July 1969, J. T. KING, Lt Col, 472-12-2614FR, Staff Judge Advocate, 3201st Air Base Group, Eglin AFB, Florida, was apprised of the information contained in the above letter, by SA WILLIAM D. DIXON. KING advised that in his opinion, there existed probable cause to warrant the issuance by the Base Commander of an authorization for search and seizure of any captured enemy weapons contained in the storage facilities of the 3207th Armament and Munitions Test Support Squadron (AMTS), Eglin AFB.
[194-10001-10169.pdf — page 3]
07D 18-1KING also opined that there was probably a violation of Public Law 90-618 (Gun Control Act of 1968), possibly a violation of customs regulations, and possibly a fraud in that government transportation facilities had been misused.4. On 9 July 1969, DONALD V. THOMPSON, Colonel, 472-12-2614FR, Deputy Commander, 3201st Air Base Group, Eglin AFB, Florida, was briefed concerning this matter, by SA DIXON. Colonel THOMPSON subsequently executed an Authority to Search and Seize, thereby authorizing the seizure of any captured enemy weapons contained in the storage facilities of the 3207th AMTS.5. On 9 July 1969, a search of the storage facilities of the 3207th AMTS, Building 1270, Eglin AFB, Florida, was conducted by SA DIXON, in presence of JOSIAH C. MUSICK, CMSgt, FR361-07-1904, and CLARENCE M. GREEN, SMSgt, FR250-44-2188, NCOIC and Assistant NCOIC, respectively. The search revealed the presence of two packing crates marked for SUBJECT containing a total of 21 various automatic weapons, five noise suppressors, two range finders, 32 ammunition magazines and a brass plaque mounted on a piece of wood. The crates and contents were seized and taken as evidence against proper receipt and are being held by the evidence custodian of OSI Detachment 710, Eglin AFB, Florida, and are available to proper authority upon request.6. On 11 July 1969, this investigation was coordinated with WILLIAM C. GOODMAN, SSAN: 579-20-9774, and ROBERT E. SANDERS, SSAN: 150-26-6417, Special Investigators, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Control Division, Internal Revenue Service (Treasury Department), Pensacola, Florida, at Eglin AFB, Florida. GOODMAN advised that based on the available information, it appears that SUBJECT is in violation of Public Law 90-618; however, he would query his headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia and Washington, D. C. in an attempt to ascertain if SUBJECT had applied for permission to import the weapons or had submitted application to register the weapons. GOODMAN added that his inquiry would be accomplished by the most expeditious means available. GOODMAN and SANDERS requested that they be present during the photographing and identification of the weapons and during all interviews of witnesses and SUBJECT during this investigation.7. On 11 July 1969, at Eglin AFB, Florida, the weapons were photographed in the presence of the writer, SA DIXON, GOODMAN and SANDERS, by CARL (NMI) CASSULO, SSgt, FR122-14-3910, Photographic Laboratory, Eglin AFB. The weapons are further identified as follows:
