Yeah? How did she do that?
They said no so he wrote up a report that they were right. He did NO investigation.
Looks to me like he never intended to and I see no reason to believe his wife thought he would.
Maybe they weren't planning to facilitate proliferation, but--at the very least--they didn't give a rat's ass if it slipped through. Since her job is knowing and reporting on what's going on WRT proliferation, why would she WANT there to be no investigation?
