Key Findings

EFTA00578629: On plane manifest for Clinton Africa trip: '7.Rodney Slater' alongside Clinton, Doug Band, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Jim Kennedy, Eric Nonacs
EFTA00086866: Witness testimony names 'RODNEY SLATER, who was the Secretary of Transportation' as passenger alongside Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Ronald Burkle, Casey Wasserman, Ghislaine Maxwell, and 'about four young women aged 20 to 22'
House Oversight: Described as 'ex-Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater' in flight log analysis alongside Ira Magaziner and Naomi Campbell
Flight log handwritten transcription confirms Slater on legs JFK→LPAZ→DGAA (Sep 2002)
FLAG VERIFIED 2026-08-03 (#747): in_flight_log is correct but is NOT derivable from our flight data. The evidence is the typed passenger manifest for the September 2002 Clinton Africa trip in EFTA00578629, a document rather than a row. Our flight sources hold 21 (spreadsheet) and 24 (index) legs for September 2002 but name none of these passengers, so the computed Flight Record facet cannot see them. The gap is in the flight data, not in this record.
MANIFEST SPELLING (#640, 2026-08-04): flight manifests carry this person as 'Rodey Swater' (Rodney Slater run together and misread), on 11 legs. Recorded as an alias so the manifests resolve here and the computed flight record includes them.
