Dear Sir or Madam,
This is a Freedom of Information request. Please list, for all
meetings since 1992, the date, title and purpose of all JOWOGs and
SUBWOGs meetings that have been held under the 1958 Mutual Defence
Agreement between the United States and United Kingdom.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Butcher

Dear Mr John,
Thank you for your reply of May 14. I have been rather lax in not
replying sooner. i would like to thank you for drawing my attention
to the information from Hansard.
In addition, are you able to provide a list of the subwogs?
Yours sincerely,
Martin Butcher

Dear Richard John,
I would like to ask you to reconsider this position. Five minutes
work on the US governemnt site www.osti.gov reveals a few of the
number and titles of subwogs. These include:
Subwog 12-D tritium technology
Subwog 39F Automation and Robotics
SUBWOG 30A Meeting Update on Salt Distillation
Subwog 39b - Machine Tools & Equipment
For subwogs from the 1980s and 1990s some papers presented at the
meetings are available. I have no doubt that a more in-depth web
and archive search would reveal many more details of Subwog names
and numbers.
Since the US government clearly values secrecy of these details at
a much lower level than the UK, I would like to ask you to
reconsider your decision and provide me with a full list of
subwogs.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Butcher
