Wilson–Davis notes: Eric Davis meeting with Admiral Wilson (October 16, 2002)
Fifteen pages headed EWD NOTES, dated October 16, 2002, purport to record a meeting between Eric Davis and retired Admiral Thomas Wilson. The narrative attributes to Wilson a 1997 search for a compartmented contractor program, refusal of access despite his official position, and statements by unnamed contractor representatives about recovered technology and slow progress. An attached two-page letter attributed to Will Miller offers research leads and sets conditions on his assistance. The copy is preserved in the May 17, 2022 House hearing materials. Inclusion in that record establishes public availability, not authentication of the meeting or the allegations. The contractor and program name are withheld within the notes.
