This release contains White House Exchange Mail records dated January 1998 to October 1999. Most of it is a transcript of a January 29, 1998 press briefing by Press Secretary Mike McCurry covering Iraq, Iran, the budget and the Lewinsky inquiry, plus a 1998 presidential speech. An October 19, 1999 email among Transnational Threats staff forwards a Florida Today article on how scientists expect alien contact would spark a media frenzy rather than a cover-up, describing the 1989 SETI detection protocol.

recall, 26 years ago.
This is an important and timely initiative to come to terms with the past

help the people of Northern Ireland look to the future and to the
reconciliation
that they seek as they now negotiate the terms of a peace that we hope v

an end to the troubles and bring those peoples the peace they fervently
