This file, released by the William J. Clinton Presidential Library under FOIA request 2006-0476-F, holds White House correspondence records for case 243544. In a July 8, 1997 letter to President Clinton, Kent Jeffrey of the International Roswell Initiative submitted more than 20,000 signed copies of the Roswell Declaration, which asks for an Executive Order declassifying UFO information. On December 9, 1997 the Air Force replied that such an order was unnecessary because declassification under E.O. 12958 was already underway.

This was probably due to a slight error in Jesse's recollection. His fa ther, for example, remembered the small mem bers as having a rectangular cross section. In a 1979 interview with journalist Bob Pratt, Jesse Marcel, Sr., stated, " .. .it was a solid member, rectangular members, just like you get with a square stick." It is entirely possible, however, that the particular member that Jesse, Jr., held, could have had a ridge on its edges for some un known reason. The only other really significant discrepancy was in the color of the member. Jesse remem bered it being about the same color as that of the foil-like material, while Irving Newton remem bered it being almost white. Judging from the pictures taken in Ramey's office, however, the white that Newton recalled was probably accu rate. According to Charles Moore, the project engineer for "Project Mogul," the sticks were covered with glue or glue-like substance. This would probably have given them a different color than that of raw wood, as well as a differ ent feel or texture - probably to the degree that someone who didn't know what they were, might not recognize them as wood. The only other discrepancies were minor, such as differ ences in the size and spacing of the symbols. For anyone who suspects that Irving Newton is participating in a 50-year coverup and making up the story about the symbols or flower pat terns, all he needs to do is check out the July 9, \947, Roswell Daily Record. Rancher Mac Brazel is quoted as talking about sticks, foil, and tape with flower patterns on it. The Alleged Substitution . Most of us have seen the now-famous pic tures of the debris from Roswell taken in General Roger Ramey's office at Fort Worth Army Air Field. General Ramey, Colonel Thomas DuBose, Major Jesse Marcel, and Warrant Officer Irving Newton appear in the pictures, posing with the debris. The debris is clearly visible in all seven existing pictures. There is absolutely no question that this is the debris from an ML-307 radar reflector. [f this is the same debris that was recovered from the Foster ranch, then the Roswell case is closed, period. It's over, end of subject. In the January 1991 issue of the MUFON UFO Journal, there is an article by Jaime Shandera titled "New Revelations About the Roswell Wreckage: a General Speaks Up." The article included an extensive two-part interview with General Thomas DuBose, who was a colonel and General Ramey's chief of staff in 1947. DuBose met the plane carrying the mater ial picked up outside of Roswell and personally took it to Ramey's office. During the first of the two interviews, Shandera realized that General DuBose was not familiar with and had not seen the pictures taken of the debris in Ramey's of- June Number 350 Page 12 1997
