If not? why put yourself in a position where your face and comments are going to pasted all over the internet and up for public ridicule, also after a long respected position in the goverment.
Either he is on a mission of self destruction or he actualy did witness those documents.

Doesn't that answer conflict with your earlier statements here?
"What evidence has been provided? All that has been posted is that he is a real person. So what? That was never in question. And none of that supports his claims."

and here?
"I have chills too. But it's over the very frightening fact people are taking a politician at his word... "

The government is not known for divulging state-secrets to state legislators. So then why they would reveal this secret to him and possibly thousands of other people in a similar position? While it doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't happen, it doesn't make any sense why it would happen. It is a hole in his story, one he doesn't not shore up with any facts. The lack of details is very suspicious.

Was his career "long and respected"? I'm not saying it wasn't, but there seems to be a lot of assumptions about the man's career in politics, when we know nothing about how the man was received by the people of New Hampshire. For all we know, he could be reincarnation of Mr. Smith or he could be that one flake politician that you're embarrassed lives in your state.

It isn't necessarily self-destruction. There is a lot of mileage to be gained with certain segments of the population, depending on how he spins this.

1. You are assuming this man was briefed, or was 'divulged' this information... implying someone intentionally showed this document to McElroy.
When I was in the New Hampshire State Legislature, I served on the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee. It was, apparently, important that as a Representative of the Sovereign People who had elected me to this Honorable Office, that I be updated on a large number of topics related to the affairs of our People, and our Nation. As I understood it, some of those ongoing topics had been examined and categorized as Federal, State, Local development, and security matters. These documents related to various topics, some of which spanned decades of our nation’s history. One of those recurring topics is the reason I am addressing you this evening.

2. "possibly thousands of other people in a similar position" This is completely illogical and probably a fallacy. Who is saying that all state legislator's are briefed with this info? Again, no one, and see #1 about the idea of him being briefed.

4. Then, you use your flawed argument to again supply any sucker that will read your posts with more dedunktions(debunk/deduct) by saying that this is a 'hole in his story' with which he provides no facts for... which I'm not sure was his intention AT ALL for recording this testimony. It is only what YOU WANT from him.

5. Then, you conclude after all of that that the man is suspicious based on your 'logical' dedunking(I am really starting to like this word)

More on Neil H McElroy here:
* Secretary of Defense Neil H. McElroy testified before the House Armed Services Committee: "Such long-range programs as the antimissile missile and the military satellite programs are in the research and exploratory development stages. They are important and must be pursued, but they must not distract us from the speedy development of our other missile systems. To handle them, I am establishing within the Department of Defense an Advanced Research Projects Agency, which will be responsible to the Secretary of Defense for the unified direction and management of the antimissile missile program and for outer space projects (1958)."

I was kind of wondering the same thing under that
old expression of: "Me thinks thou doth protest too much? "
and yes I know that is not the correct actual quote but the sentiment is the same.

Getting a little tired? I didn't say it was the same guy. I said I wondered if there is a connection, meaning a relative of some kind, etc. which could have been the actual source data....
