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.

On the threshold of a new century, Northern Ireland has a chance to start anew -- t o be an inspiration to the rest of the world ... a model of tolerance and progress. Let us join our efforts as never . before to make that dream a reality. Let us join our prayers, in this season of peace, for a future of peace in Northern Ireland.
