Narrative:
On saturday evening, oct/sat/1995 while en route from louisa county airport, va (lku), to caldwell, nj (cdw), I contacted ZDC in the vicinity of brooke VOR. I made my initial call while in the climb to 9500 ft requesting advisories and a transition through washington's class B airspace at 9500 ft, nebound. Center responded by giving me a squawk code and telling me to remain clear of class B airspace until radar idented. Upon reaching 9500 ft, I called washington to say that I would continue the climb to 11500 ft. Around this time I was told by the controller that he had me in radar contact and that I had traffic on my right side (1 or 2 O'clock) passing to the left. I responded by saying I had the traffic in sight. I thought the traffic was no factor and continued my climb to 11500 ft. I was given no indication that there was any conflict until, while in contact with philadelphia approach, I was given a telephone number and asked to phone dulles approach after landing. Upon phoning dulles, I learned that the pilot of the other aircraft claimed that there was a near midair collision and wanted a report filed. The controller informed me that the pilot of the other aircraft claimed that he was at 10000 ft and had to climb to 10500 ft as I was at 9800 ft. I assume that this was a 'TCASII climb.'

Narrative: ON SATURDAY EVENING, OCT/SAT/1995 WHILE ENRTE FROM LOUISA COUNTY ARPT, VA (LKU), TO CALDWELL, NJ (CDW), I CONTACTED ZDC IN THE VICINITY OF BROOKE VOR. I MADE MY INITIAL CALL WHILE IN THE CLB TO 9500 FT REQUESTING ADVISORIES AND A TRANSITION THROUGH WASHINGTON'S CLASS B AIRSPACE AT 9500 FT, NEBOUND. CTR RESPONDED BY GIVING ME A SQUAWK CODE AND TELLING ME TO REMAIN CLR OF CLASS B AIRSPACE UNTIL RADAR IDENTED. UPON REACHING 9500 FT, I CALLED WASHINGTON TO SAY THAT I WOULD CONTINUE THE CLB TO 11500 FT. AROUND THIS TIME I WAS TOLD BY THE CTLR THAT HE HAD ME IN RADAR CONTACT AND THAT I HAD TFC ON MY R SIDE (1 OR 2 O'CLOCK) PASSING TO THE L. I RESPONDED BY SAYING I HAD THE TFC IN SIGHT. I THOUGHT THE TFC WAS NO FACTOR AND CONTINUED MY CLB TO 11500 FT. I WAS GIVEN NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANY CONFLICT UNTIL, WHILE IN CONTACT WITH PHILADELPHIA APCH, I WAS GIVEN A TELEPHONE NUMBER AND ASKED TO PHONE DULLES APCH AFTER LNDG. UPON PHONING DULLES, I LEARNED THAT THE PLT OF THE OTHER ACFT CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS A NEAR MIDAIR COLLISION AND WANTED A RPT FILED. THE CTLR INFORMED ME THAT THE PLT OF THE OTHER ACFT CLAIMED THAT HE WAS AT 10000 FT AND HAD TO CLB TO 10500 FT AS I WAS AT 9800 FT. I ASSUME THAT THIS WAS A 'TCASII CLB.'
