On March 6, 1992, Division Chief Blevins assigned Special Agent Dana Scully to work with Fox Mulder on the X-files, cases that involve paranormal or unexplained phenomena. Blevins believed that Scully would help provide a more scientific analysis of X-files cases. In August 1993, Blevins recommended that Special Agent Mulder be taken off of the X-files, due to Mulder's personal agenda. Blevins attempted to disallow Mulder and Scully's 3-0-2 form which requested assignment and travel expenses to investigate an X-file in Sioux City, Iowa. (TXF: "Conduit")
