There, Mulder was sitting in a darkened booth upon Dales' arrival. Despite the fact that his family and career would be risked if Mulder was caught trying to expose the truth about Skur and the government conspiracy, he nevertheless made an attempt to let the truth be known and, to this end, he left a clue in the doctor's house that summoned an investigator of the doctor's death, FBI Agent Arthur Dales, to the Hoot Owl. One morning of 1952 after Edward Skur escaped, Mulder visited a doctor's house in Chevy Chase, Maryland and tried to save the doctor – who had been attacked by Skur – but to no avail, as Mulder was too late. Mulder also discovered that, in the conspiracy's attempt to cover up the truth of what they had done to Skur, he was labeled as a Communist before being reported to have killed himself and resigned to someplace where no one would look for him. Mulder thereafter learned that both Gissing and Oberman had killed themselves because they found it too difficult to live with what they had been turned into. While working at the State Department in 1952, Mulder learned that three patriotic veterans – Edward Skur, George Gissing and Terrill Oberman – had been working for the State Department when they had been transformed into something inhuman by a government conspiracy that included Roy Cohn and Senator Joseph McCarthy. ( TXF: " Paper Clip") Many names of doctors were connected to both William Mulder and the Cigarette Smoking Man one of these doctors was Eugene Openshaw, a Nobel winner for early works in genetics. This work was officially known as Operation Paper Clip. Mulder helped collect the data, so that former Nazi scientist Victor Klemper had access to a DNA database of nearly everyone who had been born since 1950, but Mulder strenuously objected once he realized that Klemper was using the medical data in an effort to create a human/ alien hybrid. In the 1950s, William Mulder and men like him were instructed by the government to gather genetic data on the general populace for the purpose of post-apocalyptic identification, due to the threat of nuclear holocaust at that time. Both were disenchanted with their work, although Mulder's disenchantment outlasted Kurtzweil's. ( TXF: " Two Fathers")Īnother of William Mulder's friends who worked with him at the State Department was Alvin Kurtzweil. ( TXF: " One Son", " The Truth") Mulder would continue to work on the Project with the CSM for about the next twenty-five years, until around 1973. ( TXF: " Two Fathers") The Project dated back to Roswell in 1947. ( TXF: " Anasazi") In about 1948, William Mulder and the Cigarette Smoking Man began working on a highly classified Project together at the State Department. Together, they dreamed that computers would someday exist, ignorant of the fact that such technology would one day be home appliances capable of the most technical espionage.

One of the men that Mulder worked with was the Cigarette Smoking Man. ( TXF: " Anasazi") He would often travel by road, while working at the State Department. While working in the State Department, William Mulder found that the choices that needed to be made were highly complicated.
