    Deputy Secretary Lynn declined to do so based on the recommendation of then-Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, James R. Clapper, Jr., that such a designation was not justified.

    Caveat THE ADVICE IS DRAWN TO THE MAN WHO TOOK IT, NOT TO THE PROGRAMME. Clapper recommended; Lynn decided. An edge from Clapper to AAWSAP/AATIP would give this record an actor it does not have, and the decision has its own edge. AND IT IS STILL THE DEPARTMENT DESCRIBING ITSELF. Guardrail 4 holds that AARO is a party to this history rather than a neutral narrator of it. This paragraph is the best-evidenced thing in the report - a dated letter, three named officials, and an endnote citing a memorandum - but the letter and the memorandum are not held here, and nothing in this corpus carries any of the three men's own account of the exchange. A FINDING AID, NOT A READING: the report's endnotes cite "Memorandum, from the Under Secretary of Defense James Clapper to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, 17 November 2009" three times. Those endnotes are on printed 57, which this project has NOT read; the reference was located by searching the full text of the held file, and nothing here rests on it.
