Following the meeting which you held '\·lith
and myself on Friday 12th January the draft speech for you
to make in response to the Earl of Clancarty's Unstarrcd
Question on Thursday 18th January has been am~nded. I
attach a folder containing the revised version which
follmvs the line which you agreed.
I also attach a more detailed background note, and,
as you requested, the transcript of the BBC television
programme on UFOs in '\vhich the Earl of Clancarty appeared
I and in which a '\vas interviewed and alleged that
I
she had been told by telephone to say nothing about her
alleged sighting of a UFO. I do not suggest, unless you
particularly wish to do so, that you read the transcript;
but the parts in~xpressed an interest are on
-pages 23 and 24 111111111111 and pages 26 - 29 (Lord
Clancarty).
When we spoke on the telephone yesterday you stressed
the need for your speech to touch on Lord Clancarty's
reference to HonsieurGalley's attitude to UFOs. This is
covered briefly in the paragraph at the bottom of page 10.
I attach, as you requested, a copy of the actual transcript
of the interview with M. Galley.
Thursday's debate will be
and myself.
