Dear Mr. Goodlin,

Department of Defense Secretary Cohen asked me to respond to your letter of July 17, 1998, regarding Burnelli aircraft designs.  I have reviewed your latest correspondence and, as explained to you in previous correspondence, cannot find any new information that would provide justification for overturning the findings of the 1941 U.S. Army Air Corps report concerning Burnelli aircraft deisgns.  Consequently, we do not plan to take any further action and consider this matter closed.  Future inquiries on this subject will be met with the same response.

Thank you for your kind words regarding Secretary Cohen.  I wish you well in your future endeavors.
