DRAFT .. _;
1. I am replying to the letter which you sent on
8 December with a letter from of Sussex
on the subject of flying saucers.
2. 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 Organisaticn. All I can suggest is that your constituent should
address his enquiries to the Ox·ganisation itself.
