~o'- December 1977
to the letter which you sent to Lord
8th December with a letter from Mrll
Lancing, Sussex on the subject
I am afraid that I can give you no immediate guidance
on the form any investigation into flying saucers might
take as a result of the recent debate in the United Nations
Organisation. All I can suggest is that your constituent
should address his enquiries to the Org~Disation itself.
I am sorry I cannot be more helpful.
