Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
As a retired member of the St Paul Pol ice Force and having had
numerous pleasant contacts with Agent Clintonste.in and Samy Har4Y,
I take the liberty of an opinionthat came to me that th~flying
saucers scare seems possible that the rel~se..d.. enfil'gLQ~oded
A½?mic Bombs could be soaring around in the atmosphere. I know
you can channel this thought to ""tlre prupet atrbhoritt~and cer
tainly would appreciate your comments on this thouiht.
I am a Veteran of both ·.:orld War #1 and #2 and also a member of
the American Legion for 32 years. I am presently a member of
The American Legion Post #81 of Mauston, .iisconsin which is
known as the Burton-Koppang Post.
If this thought is instrumental in tracking down the source of
this scare thereby releaving some of the tension to our American
Country, it may be worth following up at this time.
Thanking you very much for your cooperation and consideration in·
this matter and will you please acknowledge and advise your can
ments .
Ii :.,,J
Yours very truly,
iJ~i .t{,:,_,,.~
Edmond J . Kane
Hauston, v-Jisconsin
