Documents / Official release
This Clinton Presidential Library release holds NSC cables in a folder filed under "Flying Saucer or UFO" and dated February 1995 to May 1996. The withdrawal sheet shows three cables were withheld, among them "UFO Sighted" and "Paranormal Phenomena". The released cables include a US Embassy Baku media roundup and an FBIS summary of Peruvian television that mentions a UFO congress in Curitiba. An FBIS translation of Cuban radio reports a landed oval object near Torriente, Matanzas, and three objects seen over Sancti Spiritus in October 1995.

BILL BENEFITS AND GOALS; VOLUNTARY EDUCATION, INCLUDING TUITION ASSISTANCE AND SOCNAV; OFFICER PROGRAMS; ADVANCEMENT; CAREER MILESTONES; THE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM; AND JOB DESCRIPTIONS.

HERE TOO, THE PROGRAM WILL SERVE BOTH AS A TOOL FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR SAILORS, AND AS A METHOD FOR REDUCING SCHOOLHOUSE ATTRITION TO THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. FINALLY, NAVY GOAL CARDS AND NAVY POCKET GOAL CARDS WILL BE PROVIDED TO FIRST-TERM SAILORS IN THE FLEET WHO ENTERED THE NAVY PRIOR TO THE 1 MAY 1996 MEPS IMPLEMENTATION DATE. BY JULY, COMMANDS WILL RECEIVE A ONE-TIME DIRECT SHIPMENT OF POCKET GOAL CARDS FROM THE PRINT SOURCE TO DISTRIBUTE TO THOSE FIRST-TERMERS. COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INVOLVE THE ENTIRE PAGE 03 RUENAAA3413 UNCLAS CHAIN OF COMMAND IN DISCUSSION AND FEEDBACK ABOUT THIS NEW PROGRAM. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE NAVY GOAL CARD PROGRAM BE ADDRESSED DURING COMMAND INDOCTRINATION, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BOARDS, REPORTING INTERVIEWS, RETENTION INTERVIEWS, AND ANY SUBSEQUENT INTERVIEWS WITH THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. SUCCESSFUL GUIDANCE AND RETENTION OF FIRST-TERM SAILORS DEPENDS ON THE SOLID ONE-ON-ONE LEADERSHIP AND SOUND CAREER PATH COUNSELING PROVIDED BY A JUNIOR SAILOR'S CHAIN OF COMMAND. THIS NEW TOOL WAS CREATED TO HELP ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK. ENLISTED CAREER PLANNERS AT BUPERS WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROGRAM AND WELCOME YOUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE NAVY GOAL CARD PROGRAM.
