This Clinton Library FOIA release (case 2006-0476-F) comes from the White House email records file labeled "WHO (Roswell)" and covers December 1996 to September 1997. It includes withdrawal sheets and public emails sent to the President. One email is Nicholas Greene's December 1996 essay arguing that extraterrestrials exist, which cites Roswell, astronaut sightings and Michigan reports. Other emails forward a transcript of a Milton William Cooper speech and a Claude DiDomenica essay about Roswell and Corso.

it is more of the same as Communion, exce'pt that it is less well
supported and deals with a sort religion of the unknown.
Strieber contends in that book that the "others" (as he calls
them) gave him a sketchy design for,an anti-gravity motor that
relies on rotating magnets.
His third book is Majestic. Milton William Cooper mentions
it in his This book follows the Cooper speech closely in
many regards; in fact, sometimes it seems like one is stealing
=66rom the other because they are so close. Strieber writes this
book as fiction, but ,at the end there is a section in which he
says that, the book is based on truth'and that the government is
hiding information' from the public. He insists that this truth
must be brought out. However, Cooper says that Strieberis work
ing for the gov,ernment. ,He offers some proof to this claim, but
he doesn't really say why the government would hire Strieber to
write Majestic, or whether he was hired before he wrote Communion
and Transformation. All Cooper,says is that Strieber'is testing
the waters', leaking the information in a way that the government
could deny.
I think that if Strieber works for the government, then it
is mostly because the government thinks that people will
not believe anything he writes about UFOs, given his history'of
writing horror. Thus, the government Strieber write some
thing that is based on truth, and everyone thinks it is com'ing
=66rom such a bad source that it must be false.

This from Keith Rowell in Oregon:
"You folks interested in Strieber's claim~ should check out
the book Report on Communion (Morrow, 989) by Ed Conroy.
"Conroy is a San Antonio-based reporter who wrote
some early articles for the loc~l newspaper and then continued to'
explore and investigate till he ended up w~th a book. He basi~
cally concludes that S~rieber,' s claims are true as far as we now
understand the UFO phenomenon, which is very far from adequate at
this time. (The 'scholarly and,scientific establishment has yet
to honestly and openly embrace the problem of the UFO. Conroy's
book is opening the way for the ive media people,
though. are changing as the UFO issue just refuses to go
away.) You will all hear more and more about the real'ity status
of UFOs as we go through the,1990s. Intelligence establishment
secrecy is being slowly broken down and the scientific/scholarly
community is slowly putting up less resistance as the years go
by.
liMy are based on 15 years of the UFO liter-
ature,and four years or so, of more or participation'
in the UFO community. It is very hard to understand what is go
ing on in the UFO community without paying very close attention
to it. The normal sources of news and information cover this
3rouP of in .a very inconsistent and sometimes downright
biased way. You're just going to have tQ get your feet wet on
this onej otherwise, you'll just being talking through your hat.
"I'll be happy to send via electronic my representative
UFO bibliography to anyone who wants it. , new (and sig
nificant) UFO books are add~d practically monthly in the past few
years. UFOs are hot again. We seem to be in a peak of activity
again.
"The latest significant book is ~y Ed walters on his Gulf
breeze UFO/photograph, experiences, being distributed to your 10
cal bookstores as I ,write this."
