Odeen,PhillipA

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

From a GROUND ZERO Forum article by ewing2001, originally released at Scoop: "...
Noone knows Philip A Odeen yet, but he has one of the rare privileges to have a safe government job until 2010. His ties to the September 11th story have been revealed on the same day, when someone on a public message board at TV Clubhouse wrote these disturbing notes, 
even without mentioning Odeen's name:

"....I heard earlier today they knew this was coming ... I have a brother who lives and works close to the Wright/Patterson Air Force base in Dayton...The company he works for said the officials at W/P advised them to send home all employees... stating W/P was to be target number 6 and they have known this since last night..." After this member was asked, what she was talking about, she explained: "...they shut down a national company with 10,000 Dayton employees for it.. I lived in Dayton for 10 years and I know they had night-flights and missions but it was a rep from W/P asking to shut down the company and giving them the information not just someone off the streets...

" Her reaction seemed pretty credible, because she didn't imply much, but maybe everyone should come to their own conclusion.
Here she reveals the name of this company: "

...I do know Reynolds and Reynolds pretty well I worked there for 10 years and I know they wouldn't close the doors on hearsay... I haven't brought it up until now when just because I knew the reaction would be just exactly what it is... that is why I waited until it was already brought up here...

" While this discussion member remained unknown, her story about Reynolds & Reynolds and Wright/Patterson is still untold in the public media. 
President of R&R is Philip A. Odeen, who was at that time CEO and President of BDM International (Chairman of the Board is former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci / Carlyle ->). Odeen is still Executive Vice President, Washington Operations of TRW (->), which was bought by Northrop Grumman in July 2002. Northrop is in the meantime well known for their Global Hawk unmanned surveillance planes, which were used in Afghanistan. http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/montereyherald/2002/07/02/business/3585561.htm

TRW mergered in 1998 with Lockheed Martin Corp to becoming the nation's second-largest defense contractor. Reynolds & Reynolds is one of the contractors of TRW... ...Some weeks before September 11th Reynolds & Reynolds sold its information solutions group to the Carlyle Group of Washington, D.C and formed http://www.relizon.com http://www.relizon.com http://www.relizon.com.

....In December 2001, General Motors designated Reynolds & Reynolds Co. as one of its preferred services marketing vendors. R& R CEO Philip A. Odeen is well known at the CFR, who supported the National Security Council in the 70s, therefore he has many ties with the military industry. Did a friend warn him on September 10th? As Director of Program Analysis for the National Security Council, Odeen provided staff support to Dr. Henry Kissinger (->) from 1971 to 1973 on a wide range of defense and foreign policy issues including arms control, nuclear strategy and military force structure issues. In 1995-96, he chaired the Defense Science Board Privatization and Outsourcing Task Force. http://www.stimson.org/ausia/odee.htm 

He served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in Systems Analysis and worked closely with the Secretary of Defense and other senior DOD leaders on defense planning and programming issues. In February 1997, Odeen was named by former Secretary of Defense William Cohen to chair the National Defense Panel. At that time he was already lobbied by Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas, but other members like Richard D. Hearney Gen., USMC (McDonnell Douglas), David E. Jeremiah Adm., USN (Technology Strategies), Robert M. Kimmitt Brig. Gen. (Lehman Brothers ->, a large investment banking firm involved with defense contractor financing, for example the merger of Lockheed Martin and Loral in 1996) or Robert W. RisCassi Gen, worked for Lockheed Martin at the same time as well. Did this panel already spin the ideology for the next 4-20 years? In December 1997, the NDP provided an assesment of alternative force structures for the US military through the year 2010 to the Secretary and the Congress. Furthermore Odeen is director of the Washington Gas Light Company. More about his bio can be learned at: http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/philodeen.htm 

Past Chairman, Board on Army Science and Technology, National Research Council; New York Council on Foreign Relations; Member, Board of Governors, Institute of European Studies; Past Chairman, Professional Services Council; Panel Member, DOE Nuclear Weapons Safety Study; Past Chairman, Board of Directors, World Affairs Council, Washington, D.C. Publications: "Thinking About Defense Spending" (with Gregory Treverton), Critical Issues series by the New York Council on Foreign Relations, 1989 On their website we learn more about the credit profile of Odeen's company Reynolds & Reynolds. They share the services of Credit Suisse First Boston http://www.reyrey.com/about/history.html 

Odeen wrote once in his Quadrennial Defense Review, which was supported by the Honorable Richard L. Armitage (->). He shared the same ideas about Joint 2020 as Henry H. Shelton (->): "...our intention is to stimulate a wider debate on our defense priorities and the need for a transformation to meet the challenges of 2020. Such a debate will be critical in building the necessary support of the Congress and American people for the extensive changes that must be made...If we achieve that, we will have fulfilled our mission and our commitment to you, the Congress, and the American people. Sincerely, Philip A. Odeen.." Source: http://www.fas.org/man/docs/ndp/front.htm

More interesting, we find this information in another section of the Quadrennial Defense Review: "...The first National Defense Panel under section 184 of title 10, United States Code (as added by subsection (a)), shall be established in 2004..."

What kind of "transformation" is Odeen was talking about, and what exactly is planned for 2004? 

In a Testimony from January 28, 1998 Odeen mentions, "adversaries including terrorists" : "...the future we face in 2020 will be very different. A whole host of new challenges and opportunities are emerging. While we may find ourselves facing enemies on traditional battlegrounds, it is far more likely that we will face very different adversaries and that our conflicts will include locations in space, throughout our information networks, in highly urbanized areas, within the undeveloped and developing world and, perhaps even on our own soil. Our adversaries will include not just the armed forces of nations, but also international criminals and terrorist groups..."

...Odeens' National Defense Industrial Association conference is always held in Monterey (->). Odeen, as chairman of the Defense Science Board, which advises the Pentagon, had a lot of influence over the last 4 years to decide in which direction the Pentagon should think. 

...One example: The Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness Program was designed to increase training of potential first responders to WMD terrorist incidents within the United States. By the end of 1998, 40 U.S. cities had received training, with training ongoing in an additional 80. As part of this program, each designated city receives $300,000 from DOD for personal protection, decontamination, and detection equipment.
