Hi,
just another "piece" of bureaucracy...
I asked to the DTIC librarians a JPRS translation of a book edited in Russia many years ago (I know it exist because it is mentioned in an historical article).
Keep in mind that the book:
1) is a personal account of soviet radar, available on the Russian market since 1982;
2) can be find in original language online (http://hist.rloc.ru/): I can use Google translate, but an official translation would be absolutely better;
3) was printed in 1982, 35 years ago, so nothing secret inside it.
And this is the answer from DTIC:
"DTIC does have this document in its collection. Unfortunately, it is only available to U.S. Federal Government Employees."
MAYBE I can understand why they do not give access to this file for people outside the USA like me (i.e. the payed a translator in the eighties withe the US taxes, and they do not want other countries to take advantage of US money), but why limit the access only to "U.S. Federal Government Employees" and not to all US citizens?
I do not need an answer, it is only an outburst ... :-X
