Werbos's DOCSUB/thesis document-identity claim is a third leg of the single June 1993 oral-history cluster — and the only leg with independent corroboration

What genuinely connects Werbos's two missing-document claims and the DOCSUB/RHW-thesis document-identity claim? The same 1993 sitting, with one leg independently corroborated
