NODE 7888f804NSA flying disk follow-up [Extremely Frivolous]
cman@communities.com (Douglas Barnes)Fri, 8 Dec 95 13:37:32 PST
I spoke with Dennis Cisco at the NSA today, and he is
unwilling to sell or otherwise distribute the NSA flying
disk promotional items "except at trade shows where we
are promoting our technology transfer program." Since they
are not planning on attending any such conferences in my
area in the near future, it is unlikely I'll be able to help
any of the (numerous) people who expressed an interest in
obtaining one of these fine flying disks.

If you'd care to discuss this matter with Mr. Cisco yourself,
he can be reached at: (301) 688 0701. Note that this is in
Maryland. Also, the (301) 688 0606 number listed on the frisbee
seems to be either always busy or not answered -- I'm assuming
it's the # for the NSA tech transfer office.
Please let me know if any of you have better luck.

I also tried the public affairs department of the National Security
Agency at (301) 688-6524, with no luck. They gave me the number of
the technology transfer office. From then on out it was nothing but
busy signals. (I guess there are many c'punks hammering them with
phone calls...)

I spoke with Mr. Cisco for several minutes, but he stated that the
NSA would not be at any trade shows in the Southern United States
any time soon. He did state that they would be in Salt Lake, sometime
in the near future.
In a fit of dispair, I called the local branch office of the Central
Intelligence Agency only to get an answering machine, in an attempt to
get the number for public affairs office. (Maybe they have a cool
flying disk...) I called the direct number for the Central
Intelligence Agency and was grudingly transferred to the public affairs
office. I was then given the number to the store that sells CIA stuff
at (703) 821-1414.
[sigh] They don't have frisbies, but they do have the official CIA
shot glasses...
