Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency memorandum, dated 3 June 1977, was written by General Counsel Anthony A. Lapham to the Director of Research and Development, DDS&T. It forwards a letter from an acquaintance who proposed a comprehensive research project on the global UFO phenomenon, to be carried out by a multidisciplinary team at SRI. The project would review government policies, analyze UFO data, assess ways of collecting data and propose a national research plan. Lapham states that he strongly suspects the Agency has no interest.

With all good wishes.
