SUBJECT : Comments on Letters Dealing with Unidentified Flying Objects

REFERENCE: Memo to Assistant Director/SI from Chief, ASD/SI, dated 4 April 1958, same subject

1. Major Byrne's office (AFCI) was contacted in regard to the release of the panel report to Mr. Davidson and Major Keyhoe. I was referred to Major Tacker, Office of the Secretary of Air Force Information Service (SAFIS).

2. In response to our query as to whether Air Force had any objection to our answering these letters enclosing a copy of the panel report, Major Tacker indicated that he had rather the CIA forward the letters to him with copies of the unclassified report and he will answer the letters. He stated that the Air Force is endeavoring to impress upon Major keyhoe and others in a similar position, that his office is the proper place to come for such information.

3. In view of my conversation with Maj Tacker, I called Frank Chapin in the DDGI's office and advised him that the Air Force not only preferred to answer the letters, but was most insistent that they be permitted to answer them. He, therefore, is going to send the letters to Major Tacker and advise Mr. Davidson and Major Keyhoe of this action.

4. I think we can use this procedure as a precedent henceforth in all inquiries regarding UiO's.

to this, will be
