P. Roberts) Organization: Physics Dept., University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Lines: 23 Xref: utzoo rec.aviation:13003 sci.space.shuttle:2597 Gentlemen, I am not a hater of Soviets nor Communist Chinese but I do Believe in discipline and state secrets. While in the Marine Corps, I was based on a military station with plenty of "secrets" as my everyday surroundings. I am now a student of astrophysics and a little disgusted by SDI research. However, I do Not and will never reveal information to public access that (while hurting SDI) would reveal secrets or just little known facts that any fool could tell were damaging to U.S. Security. Think twice if you were ground crew or involved with the SR-71 program before you set us straight about our whimsicle rumors. This aircraft is for recon purposes and thus a military man with constant exposure to it might forget that what he knows, he knows because at one time someone thought he wasn't a risk. Don't throw away your secret status by foolishly blabbing on the network. Now, I am not directing this at any indiviual that has already posted something, I think, but don't prove me wrong. Practice thought before speech. Please write me for more, Timothy P. P. Roberts roberts@csd4.milw.wisc.edu P.S. Go ahead and say something and I bet you a trip to Kennedy Space Center that someone wearing sunglasses andd rubber soled shoes comes to ask you "A few quick questions!"
