SUBJECT Reply to Vice President's Letter from 25X9
1. As we discussed the other day about the possibilities of replying,
the following are some of the alternatives for a reply to the Vice President.
a. Recommend that he ignore the letter from 25X9
and not reply.
b. If the Vice President decides he wishes to send a reply
that a non-commital one should be prepared and signed by
acknowledging receipt of the letter and indicating
it was forwarded to the appropriate Agency.
2. The Agency has to consider the five previous letters sent to
the Englishman wherein the replies may not have been accurate.
Apparently the more recent letters sent to just refer to
the fact that the Agency is no longer concerned with the UFO problem
and this is in the province of the Air Force.
3. The other facet of the problem is the increasing number of
newspaper articles generated principally by Dr. McDonald, who is
on a lecture series charging the Agency with concealing or withholding
the 1953 Panel Report. The question here is: Do we (the Agency)
wish to release the report and put out any further fires that may be
caused by allegations being thrown about by UFO-niks.
