More hints that the mysterious "intelligence services" contracted by the Executive Office of the President to MZM in 2004-2005 may be connected to the Silberman-Robb commission? All three contracts, as well as other similar contracts I found for Booz-Allen Hamilton ($400,626.00 on 09/30/004) and SAIC ($686,878.00 on 09/10/2004), say the principal place of perfomance for the contract will be in Arlington, Virginia, zipcode 22202-3903. (Whereas a great many of EOPOA contracts for things like software services and news services indicate that the principal place of performance for the contract will be, naturally enough, in Washington, D.C.). And various Silberman-Robb commission press releases, as well as this interview with Charles Robb indicate the Commission was working out of offices in Arlington, VA. The three MZM "intelligence services" contracts also describe the "description of requirement" as "purchase of technical advisory services." Two of those indicate that the "type of contract" was for "labor services." Does that kind of sound like buying the time/expert consulting services of MZM executives?
BAH's contract [$400,626.00, effective 09/30/2004 to be completed by 02/28/2005], and to be performed in Arlington, indicates it's for the "purchase of advisory and assistance services," while SAIC's [$686,878.00, effective 09/10/2004 to be completed 04/12/2005], and also to be performed in Arlington, is for "technical advisory services." I am fairly convinced that all three companies BAH, SAIC, and MZM were all hired for the Robb-Silberman commission in some capacity.
Update: Reader PC pointed out that in December he wrote me noting that three Robb-Silberman professional staff members work for MZM, and two for SAIC. "On a hunch I checked out some of the other RS commissioners. It seems that Gordon Oehler and Samuel Visner both work for Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)." Oehler, who was director of the CIA's Non-Proliferation Center until 1997, joined SAIC in 1998 as senior corporate vice president. Samuel Visner is a senior Vice President at SAIC. From 2001-2003, he was the chief of the signals intelligence programs at the National Security Agency.
