I'm not certain that you could rely on any organizations statements made today to provide any assurance that circumstances would not change in the future and result in the address space being returned to ARIN or transferred per current policy.
An official statement from the DoD? I'm sure we could hold them to it as a community. Is it too much for us to ask the US government to give us assurance that we can safely utilize huge chunks of address space assigned to them for purposes such as LSN without fear? :)
Even the DoD cannot say "for sure" that they would never route some of that space 'in time of need' over the public internet.
