Documents / Official release
This Clinton Presidential Library release from NSC email records, filed under Roswell, covers April 19 to November 30, 1995. In an April 1995 email, NSC staffer William Leary says the NSC holds no records on the 1947 Roswell incident and that any records would most likely be at the Archives. Later emails circulate drafts of President Clinton's Belfast Christmas tree lighting remarks. The final transcript includes his answer to 13-year-old Ryan: as far as he knows, no alien spacecraft crashed at Roswell in 1947.

This year in Armagh [ar-MAH] on St. Patrick's Day, Protestant and Catholic children led the parade together for . the first time since "the troubles" began. A bystander's words marked the wonder of the occasion: "Even the normal is beginning to seem normal." The economic rewards of peace are evident as well.
