destroyer-014:washington-dc links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000039:ch16:p0140; witness:00000039:ch17:p0069).
destroyer-035:washington-dc: Lead checked the recurring Washington, D.C. referent in primary context: U.S. capital where the President and CIA headquarters are located. The earlier observation has compatible place scope: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. Source-specific assertions and uncertainty remain work scoped. (witness:00000102:ch01:p0006; witness:00000102:ch01:p0027; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-028:washington-dc: Lead contextual comparison supports the recurring Washington, D.C. referent: U.S. capital where Remo enters the State Department and the President discusses Ship of States. Earlier compatible observation: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office.. Preserve the observed source label, scope and attributed claims. (witness:00000081:ch02:p0001; witness:00000081:ch03:p0083; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-037:washington: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: New presidential, congressional-office or official-mail geography points to U.S. capital; prior explicitly describes Washington from the presidential White House. No President surname or Washington State join. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000108:ch01:p0080; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-024:b24-washington-dc: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: New presidential, congressional-office or official-mail geography points to U.S. capital; prior explicitly describes Washington from the presidential White House. No President surname or Washington State join. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000069:ch01:p0102; witness:00000069:ch01:p0103; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-031:b31-washington: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for Washington, D.C.: Setting of the President’s offices, the Capitol plot, and Paldor’s operation. This is compatible with the existing washington-dc subject (Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office.). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000090:ch01:p0079; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-039:washington: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: New presidential, congressional-office or official-mail geography points to U.S. capital; prior explicitly describes Washington from the presidential White House. No President surname or Washington State join. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000114:ch01:p0073; witness:00000114:ch12:p0052; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-026:b26-washington: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: New presidential, congressional-office or official-mail geography points to U.S. capital; prior explicitly describes Washington from the presidential White House. No President surname or Washington State join. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000075:ch01:p0100; witness:00000075:ch02:p0128; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-027:washington: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: Same federal capital, President/White House earlier and agents’ federal orders/lobbying here; Washington Post title is not location evidence. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000078:ch03:p0042; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-055:washington-dc: Lead compared the identifying source context and accepted prior role: U.S. capital where the threatened President and White House are located. Compatible prior subject: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. Preserve observed labels, mention versus scene scope and character-attributed claims; this joins the subject, not all assertions about it. (witness:00000159:ch09:p0071; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-049:washington-dc: Lead compared identifying source passages and roles: Location of the high-level briefing about the Andrew Jackson massacre. Prior subject: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. The same subject is identified; fictional assertions, scene/mention scopes and attributed accounts remain separate. (witness:00000141:ch02:p0028; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-050:washington-dc: Lead compared current/prior identifying source passages and roles; they support one subject while narrative, attributed, metonymic, product and paratext scopes remain distinct. Current: Location of the initial military-secretary murder investigation and Dobbins’s killing. Prior: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. (witness:00000144:ch12:p0001; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-045:washington-dc: Lead compared the named subject and role with the prior source context. U.S. capital where Nooner meets Miller in the Senate building and later contacts the press. (witness:00000132:ch07:p0001).
destroyer-044:washington-dc: Lead compared identifying source contexts and compatible roles: U.S. capital targeted in the alleged plot and described as the endpoint of the concealed map line. Prior: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. Preserve source attribution and mention versus scene scope. (witness:00000129:ch10:p0102; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-054:washington-dc: Lead compared identifying primary contexts and compatible roles for Washington, D.C.: Federal capital where Smith visits the Interior Department and later meets Remo. Prior subject: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. Book-specific facts and uncertainties remain scoped; the join establishes the referent, not blanket canon for all its depictions. (witness:00000156:ch08:p0008; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-060:washington-dc: Lead compared identifying primary contexts and recurring scope for Washington: U.S. city Marcia names among the reprogrammed missile targets. Prior context: Seat of the U.S. government and location of the President’s office. Preserve each work’s account and its attribution. (witness:00000174:ch16:p0036; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-061:washington-dc: Washington, D.C. explicitly identified as location of the federal labs; matches the established capital entity. (witness:00000177:ch07:p0008; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-064:washington-dc: The phrase is explicitly Washington, D.C. and the context is the U.S. capital containing the NCA; prior subject is the same city. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000186:ch08:p0179; witness:00000186:ch09:p0050; witness:00000186:ch10:p0002; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-071:washington-dc: Both directly name Washington, D.C., as the U.S. capital/government setting. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000207:ch12:p0114; witness:00000177:ch07:p0008).
destroyer-072:b72-washington-dc: Same named U.S. capital location. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000210:ch02:p0002; witness:00000210:ch02:p0009; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
destroyer-075:washington-dc: Same specifically named geographic or institutional subject in compatible source context; differing book events remain separately attributed. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000219:ch01:p0068; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029; witness:00000007:ch03:p0047).
destroyer-074:b74-washington-dc: Current source places the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Washington, D.C.; Book 3 ch01:p0029 describes Washington at the White House and identifies the U.S. capital. Same place; the memorial and presidential scene remain distinct. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000216:ch23:p0054; witness:00000007:ch01:p0029).
