A Journey Through The Labyrinth
by Jay Reynolds


This report describes the results of my efforts, using the Freedom
Of Information Act(FOIA), to confirm and inquire about material
samples sent to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) on 1/12/2000 by Clifford Carnicom and David Peterson representing the "Chemtrail Research Fund".

...

I conclude that Clifford Carnicom and David Peterson, acting as the "Chemtrail Research Fund" did send a material sample to EPA, which received it and probably still has it in their possession.


I conclude that Carnicom, Peterson, and others made repeated attempts
to get a response from EPA regarding the material sample they sent.


I conclude that while EPA did respond to Carnicom and Peterson regarding
their belief in "chemtrails", EPA never responded in any way whatsoever regarding the material sample the agency holds in it's possession.

I conclude that Carnicom and Peterson sent no documentation to establish the origin of the material sample, thus precluding it from being tested.

I conclude that Carnicom, having worked for the Federal Government for fourteen years, is aware of the FOIA law.


I conclude that Carnicom and Peterson considered filing a FOIA request, but did not do so because it better suited his purpose to use EPA's lack of response to generate the appearance of a "stonewall".


I conclude that Carnicom has, for over one year, avoided producing an actual verifiable laboratory sample analysis of the material because such analysis will show that it is ordinary material of natural origin, and not connected to aircraft in any way.


I conclude that EPA's lack of response did indeed have the effect of
garnering increased support for Carnicom and his "chemtrails" claims.


I conclude that the EPA office of Air and Radiation failed to follow their own Standard Operating Procedures by not establishing their own Chain-of-Custody Record as required.


I conclude that the EPA Office of Air and Radiation failed to meet
their stated goal to "Be a Primary Source of Credible Information", due to their failure to respond regarding the material sample sent and received.


I conclude that the individuals within EPA responsible for making the decision to not address the material sample are Robin Moran, Director, Light Duty Onroad Center, Chester J. France, Director, Assessment and Standards Division, Robert Brenner, Chief Administrative Officer, Office of Air and Radiation, Margo T. Oge, Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, and Carol Browner, EPA Administrator, since replaced by Christine Todd Whitman.
