This document is a type-written draft of a letter from Gordon Copeland, addressed to the Secretary of the Air Force, Discharge Review Board.

I have been told that such upgrading is routine in cases of alleged homosexuality, where no homosexual acts have ever been charged. ... If this is not possible and a hearing is necessary, I will wish to travel to New York City for a personal hearing." The letter is dated July 3, 1979.
