It is one and the same. It took years to compile. This is what I stated on our main site:
Received the following document from Captain John Fallon. This is a letter from Brigadier General George W Gardes, to Mr. Jesse A Remington, Director of the Historical Section, Department of the Army.
The General is commenting on the book, Engineers in the War Against Germany (see our book section), and has added his perspective on Salerno. It's a very interesting read. Thanks John!
The Salerno Report - added 11-23-08
I would think that the General's comments were incorporated into the book.
To be honest I have no data, nor any idea who he is referring to, regarding the officer. I have not been given any clue to the identity of said officer.
I will have to look into the full name of Col Shotwell.
