“Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of.”

Dear Susan,
Lee Davidson, a reporter for The DESERET NEWS, received a FOIA request for this information in 1993. I contacted him, and he can't find the files (he's retired). See attachment. So I'm filing a new FOIA. I live in Park City, so I could drive to the base to look at them if they can't be copied.
Best Regards,
Kris Newby

My initial request was submitted to Dugway Proving Grounds on March 20, 2023.
Since then I've found references to two Army reports on the Skull Valley sheep death investigations:
1. A report published by Edgewood Arsenal in 1970, declassified in 1978. It was sent to The Salt Lake Tribute in 1997.
2. A 1,000+ page investigation into the sheep deaths, released in 1968 by Brig. Gen. William W. Stone. It was also sent to The Salt Lake Tribute.
3. A 1972 report published by Edgewood Arsenal also included analysis into the sheep deaths.
Thank you for looking into these reports.

Greetings,
Please be advised that this office has no records, it only serves as the referral point and policy office for the Department of the Army Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Requests for information and documents under the purview of the Army are referred to the proponent agency for appropriate handling in accordance with Army Regulation 25-55, The Army Freedom of Information Act program.
It appears you previously submitted this request to our office. We processed it under case number FA-23-2556 / FP-23-029508. Since your request below is for the same material, it is considered a duplicate request and is being administratively closed out in our office, and no further action will be taken.
Thank you,
DA FOIA Office
