Talk to Cpl on Ext hiJl}t : DAO COORD JNCO - mention that you have already spoken with me. , -----Original Message----- From: DAS-LA-Ops+Pol1 Sent: 14 October 200216:14 To: DAO ADGE1 Subject: UFOs Dr Clarke has asked us for any briefing or background notes on UFOs prepared for reference by Lord Strabolgi in his closing address during the House of Lords debate on UFOs, on 18 January 1979. We had two files on this, but these were destroyed in 1990. He has now stated that he believes Dl55 and RAF Ops(GE)2 contributed briefings to assist Lord Strabolgi's response and has ask us to confirm whether either of these retained copies of their own contributions within their own files. I have asked Dl55 to check their filing systems and I would be grateful if you could confirm whether DAO have retained any files (parliamentary correspondence) that may contain relevant information. If you would prefer me to speak to your registry about these sort of enquiries please let me know.
