Defendant

C. A. No. 04-0814 (RCL)

DECLARATION OF CAROL HRDLICKA

I, Carol Hrdlicka, declare and say as follows:

1. I am the wife ofColonel David L. Hrdlicka, a known Prisoner of

War ("POW") captured inLaos in 1965. David has been repeatedly

reported alive since the United States withdrew from Vietnam, Laosand

Southeast Asia in March 1973. The United States Government has informed

me that hewas captured butdied in captivity. On three different occasions,

theDepartment of Defense ("DOD") told me that he had died.

2. A Russian correspondent, Ivan Shchedrov ("Shchedrov")

interviewed my husband several times inSam Neua, Laos. My husband was

wasseen at the dedication of a cave complex which Sheldonwitnessed,

See Attachment 1.

3. My husband and anotherPOW named Sheltonwere attempted

to be rescued from the communists in 1966, but later recaptured. State

Department documents found in the President President Johnson

Library by Roger Hall reveal this attempted rescue. SeeAttachment 2.

Retired GeneralRichard Secord, the then head of Central Intelligence

Agency ("CIA") Air Operations in Laos, authorized that rescue.

4. Documentsobtained from the CIA over the years never had

my husband's name in them. The CIA never has released documents

pertaining to the escapeand recapture of my husband. At long last, a

document released by the CIA in Hall v. CIA. Civil Action No. 04-0814,

indicates that my husband was alive in 1968. See Attachment 3. It has

my husband's name handwritten in the right-hand margin and at the

bottom of the document. There should be many other relevant

documents which have not been released to date.

5. General Secord is still aliveand has personal knowledge about

this mission that attempted the rescue of David and Shelton. This Court

should allow Mr. Hall to take General Second's deposition and also
