Mr. Danzig's interest in STAR GATE was prompted by a recent briefing that was presented to him by Mr. John Petersen of the Arlington Institute on non-lethal warfare. During that briefing Mr. Petersen informed the Under Secretary of our probable existence. Mr. Petersen, a retired US Army COL, was once assigned to USAINSCOM at Fort Meade, MD, in the early 801s. As a result, Mr. Danzig contracted RADM Shaefer, USN, Director of Naval Intelligence, who in-turn contacted the Director, NMIPC, requesting the briefing.
