Documents / FOIA release
This is a FOIA request letter to CIA Director George J. Tenet, dated March 21, 2003, from a private requester. It asks for information on three subjects: the July 1947 Roswell, New Mexico crash reported by Mac Brazel and investigated by Major Jesse Marcel, the "Operation Majestic" (MJ-12) document, and the secret Nevada base Area 51 (S-4). The requester also asks for a picture of the Director. The letter carries CIA inspection stamps and redactions.

March 21,2003 Honorable George J. Tenet, Director Central Intelligence Agency Washington D.C. 20505 Dear George J. Tenet, Director, I am writing you to request information on three subjects. My purpose is to gain knowledge and more insight about three issues that pertain to our country. My first concern is the Roswell, New Mexico, July 2-7, 1947 issue. Mac Brazel reported a "crash by an object on his property. Major Jesse A. Marcel investigated for the military and reported it was an "alien spaceship" that crashed. Brigadier General Roger Ramey ordered Major Marcel to change his story, and state that it was a "weather balloon" that had crashed and not a "flying saucer." In 1979 Major Marcel went public and restated his original position that it was an "Alien Saucer" that had crashed. My second concern is "Operation Majestic" (MJ-12) a government document that confirms the flying saucer crash. My third concern is the secret military base in Nevada called "Area 51" (S- 4). What is there? I am asking for this information under " THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT." My last request, which is very important to me, a picture of you for my wall of fame. Sincerely, Katrina Taylor (b)(6)
