Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency letter, dated 29 May 1958, was sent by Philip Strong to Dr. Luis Alvarez at the University of California, Berkeley. It warns that Leon Davidson has been pressing Lloyd Berkner and Bob Robertson with questions about the UFO panel that met in Washington early in 1953. Strong encloses copies of letters exchanged between Robertson and Davidson and advises Alvarez to follow the general tenor of Robertson's reply. He notes that the CIA's own replies only forwarded Davidson's queries to the Air Force.
