King County, Washington - Mob rule

In that letter from President Reagan I referred to in my last post, he mentions that he had earlier that year - in June 1987 - approved a new national policy and strategy for low intensity conflict. Below I have listed what I believe is the public announcement from June 1987 that he was referring to. In that announcement, he mentions that the new Assistant Secretary of Defense (Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict) was born 4/12/44.

That 6/9/87 announcement was 59 days after his 4/12/87 birthday.

That also means he was 33 years, 3 days, old on 4/14/77, the date I think I returned to Earth from my mission to intercept the comet threatening to hit the Earth.
