concerning an investige.tion into Unidentified Flying Obj ec·t;s.
2. Since ue r.eed to adviss our !·iinister

if you \-tOuld confirm that my unclerstanding
stated below, is correct;-
thi . . .1. •

should be 7ery grate~~
of the situ.ation, as
a. The resolution has been .shel-ved indefina-'.;ely, a:'1(1 it
was su~gested that countries interested in co-ordinatine
invest~gations should pool their resources. .
b. The UK did not support, nor 1-rish to be associated \•Ti th
the resolution, it being considered that partioipation in
such an investigation cou.ld bring the United !!"~~tions into
disrepute.
