Part D: Analysis of Project Blue Book Special Report No.14 This section includes the full text of the First Edition, which contained certain press releases issued in 1955 at the time that Special Report No.14 was announced to the public. The material which appeared on the inside covers and outside back cover of the Second Edition has been omitted, as being outdated and non-substantive. The AFR 200-2 document (pages X-1 to X-4) which is bound in at the center fold of this edition was not included in the first two editions, and should be ignored in any references to page numbers. It did not form part of the contents of the original Special Report No. 14. Additional single copies of the AFR 200-2 document may be requested, free of charge, by writing to the publisher at the address shown on the back cover of this book, enclosing a long self-addressed envelope bearing first-class postage. Give your ZIP-Code. LEGISLATIVE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS December 7, 1956 Dear Mr. Davidson: Reference your letter of November 27, I presume that you have received a loan copy of the Blue Book from the New York Office of Information Services. That office was verbally instructed to mail a copy to you. Regarding reproduction of the Blue Book, the Department of Defense considers this to be your own private affair and neither denies or approves your plan. I trust this satisfactorily answers your questions. Sincerely yours, - سعيد بن سعيد Philip K. Allen Deputy, Public Affairs Mr. Leon Davidson 64 Prospect Street White Plains, New York
