I am Promila Banik and I served in the Department of Defense with the
Naval Medical Center, now Walter Reed Medical Center, in Bethesda,

Maryland. As a Registered Nurse and Phlebotomist, I drew blood from
patients for diagnosis. I also worked in the Laboratory as a Lab Technician,
earning awards for the Best Lab Technician of the Year. I used my skills in

assisting other Lab Technicians when they were having difficulty in drawing
blood from some patients and could not find their veins. I taught the
techniques of drawing blood to hundreds of students over the years in the

Lab. Even after my retirement in 2012, I continue to volunteer at the Walter
Reed Medical Center because I believe that the best Karma is selfless services
to humanity.

I am Raymond Barley and I have worked for the Air Force Plant
Representative Office (AFPRO) at the Westinghouse Defense Plant at
Baltimore Washington International Airport in Maryland. I specifically
worked in Weapons Systems Acquisition on the principle program, the FB-

111, Fighter-Bomber aircraft. Much of this program was classified.
Westinghouse has since been purchased by Northrop Grumman.

I also worked at the U.S. Army Cost and Economic Analysis Center (CEAC),

in Virginia. I was an Operation Research Analyst in the Information Systems
Division involved in mathematical computer modeling. At the Command,
Control, Communications and Computers (C4) Division, I served in

Operation Research Analysis, as the only American member. We were all
mathematicians and the other members were from: Iran, India, Pakistan,
China, Africa, France and England.

From the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Crystal City, Virginia,
Contract Cost Analysis, I moved to the Naval Air Systems Command
(NAVAIR) Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Maryland, Tomahawk Cruise

Missile Program Office, PMA-280, Contract Cost Analysis. Much of the
Tomahawk program was classified. For example; the altitude, speed at which
the missile flies are classified. The location where the warhead was loaded

into the missile was also classified. Meeting locations where the team would
assemble and the program issues that were discussed were close hold.
My final federal service was in Advanced Technologies Group, Weapons
Systems Acquisition: to match up technologies that had very good promise

with Program Managers who are going to fund and manage the program. I
