L. The Foreign Office might have given us some indication when they trans-
ferred these papers of the line they have taken a.t the United Nations Orgal1i-
sation. You will recall from the press reports that a debate on unidentified
flying objects has been held there recently at the vequest of the Prime
Minister of Grenada. However, we have tracked down a Mrllllllin the Energy,
Science and Space Department of FCO who tells us (and, I hope, will confirm
in writing) that a UN resolution calling for an investigation into UFOs has
been shelved indefinitely. The UK did not support the resolution, the view
being that such an investigation would bring the UN into disrepute. Matters
now rest, I believe, on the understanding that countries interested in a UFO
investigation should pool their resources.
2. Mr 1111 does not seem to be particularly interested in his constituent's
request - I suggest a reply as attached.
\~ December 1977
