This is a 1958 letter from Philip G. Strong of the Central Intelligence Agency to Dr. Samuel A. Goudsmit at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Strong writes that Lloyd Berkner and Bob Robertson had been flooded with questions from Leon Davidson about the UFO panel that met in Washington in early 1953. He encloses copies of the letters between Robertson and Davidson and suggests Goudsmit follow the same approach if Davidson contacts him. He adds that the agency's own replies simply acknowledged receipt and passed the queries to the Air Force.

142b 32nd Street, H. u Washington 7, D. C. 29 May 1953 Dear Eau Recently both Lloyd Berliner and Bob Robertson have been besieged by a sir. Leon Davidson with questions relative to their activities on and the results of the UFO panel which convened in Washington early in 1953. In anticipation that you might soon be bombed similarly, I am enclosing copies of an exchange of correspondence between Robertson and Davidson, and recommend strongly that you enjoy the general tenor of Bob's letter should the occasion arise. In those cases where we have been required to correspond directly with Davison, our reply has been merely one of scholarly receipt and advising him that his queries had been furnished to the Air Force for appropriate action. Please advise us in the event you become caught up in this matter. Dest regards. Enclosures: Sincerely, Philip G. Strong 1. Letter to Davidson 2. Letter to Robertson Dr. Soreel A.
