testimony, and motivations), l note that, once again, Mr. Koch, via
his May 26, 2006, letter to me, insists on questioning my status as
an independent writer representing one or more news media. How much
time do you really wish to spend here on my justifying my existence
-- and would you rather spend it in the comfort of your office than
in a courtroom?
At any rate, please note that Corso's whistleblowing account,
published in his 1997 memoirs "The Day After Roswell,‘ implicates
your agency in the policies, programs, and operations of a
supersecret panel of UFO-related experts called Majestic-Twelve.
Corso's role as a Pentagon-based intelligence/R&D analyst in helping
exploit the advanoed technological artifacts retrieved from the July
1947 crash-landing of a "flying saucer‘ near Roswell, N.M.,
reverberates, to this day, in the UFO press.
indeed, in my column scheduled for the July 2006 issue of the
newsstand periodical UFO magazine, I focus my attention on the Corso
story. in UFO magazine's April 2006 issue, my column ("Bryant‘s UFO
View‘) presents a similar essay on the FBI's recent disclosure of its
dossier on UFO author-personality Philip J. Klass‘ (see enclosed
photo-copy of said essay). Earlier, upon the now-suspended website
of the public-interest Group Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, I had
published a an essay about Corso‘s FBI dossier, which mentions his
alleged CIA connections.
ln a forthcoming issue of UFO magazine, my oolunm will dwell on the
second edition of a book titled "Exempt from Disclosure: The
Disturbing Case About the UFO Coverup," by Robert M. Collins, a
former USAF captain privy to inside knowledge about the governments
technological exploitation of Roswellian-debris artifacts. The
book‘s revelations include M.l- I2-related material allegedly ‘leaked’
from CIA records -- a matter of utmost concern to the public‘s
awareness of the CIA role in the coverup of the UFO experience.
As with the McCarthy Saga, Collins's book has been the focus of one
of my recent ad submissions -- a submission that was flatly rejected
by public affairs officials at Langley Air Force Base, Va, as being
in contradiction of the official USAF viewpoint on UFO reality.
Again, such official censorship of an independent writer's
researchlwriting deserves both public outcry and oversight as to
agency motivations and operations.
UFO magazine's website, http://www.ufomag.com , further extends the
news-dissemination reach of this multimedia organization, thus
affording me a wide audience for my work product
My column in UFO magazine has been preceded by my UFO-related
articles and book reviews published in the newsstand magazine FATE:
Tnie Reports of the Strange and Unknown -- published by Galde Press,
Inc. (galdepresscom), with whom I'm under contract for my second
book. incidentally, my first book -- ‘UFO Politics at the White
House: Citizens Rally ‘round Jimmy Carter‘s Promise" -- drew its
content from citizens’ UFO-related letters to Pres. Carter, as
USAF-disclosed to me via the U. S. Freedom of Information Act.
So, you see that this capsule of my track record as an independent
writer amply qualities me to receive a full search-fee waiver for any
current/future FOIA requests submitted as part of my ongoing
researchlanalysis. Therefore, please grant me this appeal by
immediately rescinding Mr. Koch's denial of my documented, reiterated
requester status.
By snail-mail, I'm sendin to ou a si ned printout of this e-formatted letter.

Finance, and Accountability - U. S. House of Representatives
* P. S.: I hereby request that Mr. Koch also process this letter as
a fonnal, written FOIA request that he send me a copy of all
CIA-maintained records pertaining to the activities, associations,
correspondence, and motivations of the late Philip Julian Klass.
