It includes the MOD's 9 December 2002 reply, which covered reports from 1976, 1980, 1993 and 1996 and charged £260. It also contains internal emails and file requisitions, plus Foreign Office and United Nations papers from 1978 on Grenada's proposal for UFO research.

Thank you. I do not think we will need to mention your file to Dr Clarke at this stage. We may, however, need to
consult you about its contents when we come to do the actual search for material, so I would be grateful if you
would keep it to hand for the time being. I am going on leave today until the 4th October, so I will not be doing
the search for a couple of weeks.
