Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile

JUDYTH RESPONDS TO BARB ABOUT HER (BARB'S) LATEST BLUNDER

Barb J. tells readers here that :

"MEDEC-ZOA" appears to the left of the "logo" under the letterhead. It is in no way buddied up to Judyth's name."

Barb says it is merely an office address, part of the letterhead on the first page, and she notes that the top of the
letter of the second page is covered. Of course, a second page has no letterhead, nor would it have an "office
address" on the second page.

Barb says she was told that "Medec-Zoa" was just part of an office address, and "It is in no way buddied up to
Judyth's name."

I said it was a file associated with my name, linked later to MEDEC-ZOE.

Further, I have said that the UNAUTHORIZED book leaves important details out: I am not responsible for the way
the letter was shown in the unauthorized book.I have asked people to check with me FIRST before relying on it.
But Barb used the unauthorized book anyway.

Attached is the second page...As everyone knows, no office addresses are on a second page of such correspondence.



But there, "buddied up" to my name, is the designation MEDEC ZOA.

In the book, a part of the second page was covered up to make 'more room'--to which I would have objected, but it
was published without allowing me to see the galleys.

I have placed the 2nd page on top of the first page in the second attachment, so you can see it that way, too, this time
around.



I wonder how many Barb clones are going to chime in "Well done, Barb!" without reading my response? Will I ever get
an apology from Barb for her relentless efforts to discredit me?

The full second page, which shows "Medec Zoa" buddied up to my name, WILL be in the AUTHORIZED book.

JUDYTH: MEDEC-ZOA

In an e-mail to Dave Reitzes in November 2000, Judyth told
him:

Anyway, the letter i have from Walter Reed mentions file name
MEDEC-ZOA. I was ZOA and I was assigned to something called ZOE.

In her book, as a caption under the photo of the letter she received
from Dr. Jacobus at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Judyth
writes:

The letter and notes I received from Walter Reed referred to a file
called 'Medec Zoa'.

As quoted in my post on Judyth's letter to President Kennedy (post#982), Judyth claimed that when she was whisked away to a room by scientists, military officers and others and signed loyalty oaths, she was told to write to both President Kennedy and Walter Reed. She did write to Walter Reed (no copy of that letter available) and Jacobus replied to her on 2 September 1960. Walter Reed Institute of Research, then and now, enthusiastically supported students engaged in science and research. The letter is difficult to read here ... perhaps Judyth will provide copies to Jim so that the entire letter can be seen ... and so that it can be photographed or scanned head on and with greater clarity. Judyth had written WR about her interest and experiments in protecting against injury to the patient during radiation treatment. Dr. Jacobus was sending her some needed chemicals separately, was very encouraging, and encouraged her to let them know how her experiment worked out.

Judyth has claimed that she made regular reports, and that she received several more notes and packages ... but never another letter. No other notes, aside from this letter, has been shown.

The jpg of the letter is what Judyth sent Martin to post as part of her evidence. As you can see, the letter is not complete, the bottom half of the front page is not included. In her book, the bottom half of the page is covered by the end of the Jacobus letter on the next or back page.



"MEDEC-ZOA" appears to the left of the "logo" under the letterhead. It
is in no way buddied up to Judyth's name.

I asked a couple of military types, one Air Force, one Army, about
that acronym and both told me the MEDEC would refer to the Command,
and the ZOA would refer to some office within that command. They were
exactly right.

This is not a "file" nor does "ZOA" designate Judyth. It is what the
Army calls an "office symbol" and is essentially an address.

In army lingo, the first 5 letters, in this case, MEDEC, designate the
command. MEDEC was the Medical Research and Development Command, it
was created in 1958 and existed until 1994 when the command name was
changed to MRMC, Medical Research and Materials Command. Today the
office symbol for Walter Reed Army Institute of Research is MCMR [as of
June 2008 when I initially wrote this].

The 3 letters after the hyphen, in this case "ZOA" refers to the the
place and department or office within that command. We know the letter
came from the office of the Chief of the Radiology Department.

The three letters that follow the current command, MCMR, are UWZ. Like
ZOA, those letters do not stand for anything ... they designate an
address within the command. The UW is common to all
offices/departments within WRAIR today. The third letter narrows it
down to which department or office, and if those 3 letters are
followed by a hyphen and then a number, it narrows it down even
further, even to a specific person.

MEDEC-ZOA was essentially the office or department address in Army
speak.

I spoke to Debra at WRAIR, she is the Assistant Director for Research
Marketing and Policy Development. She went to a couple of old timers
as well as to historical data on the previous command designations ...
and their "office symbols" of yore ... and then called me with the
information. My thanks to her.

MEDEC-ZOA is no mystery ... and no file or designation regarding
Judyth for any special or secret project.
