This is a White House email release covering February 1998 to August 2000. It is a set of Exchange mail records with attachments. One item is the President's February 19, 1998 remarks to a DNC dinner in West Orange, New Jersey, which includes a joke that young people think seeing a UFO is more likely than drawing Social Security. Other items are a joke 'Redneck Driver's License Application', an AP story about Chilca, Peru, where locals credit UFOs for the mud's powers, a Blair Witch Project article, and a Baltimore Sun article forwarded by the White House Situation Room about UFO FOIA requests to the NSA.

have
attracted UFO buffs ever since the best-selling book
"Chariots
of the Gods" in the early 1970s speculated they were
alien landing
strips.
Although archaeologists ridiculed the idea, tourists
still try
to sleep overnight among the Nazca lines to absorb supposedly
mystical
energies.
In Chilca, a sign above "The Twin Maker" boasts
the mud
contains sulfur, silicon, iron, calcium, potassium and other
minerals.
It claims the pond boosts male and female fertility and
cures impotence.
The jet-black mud of "The Miracle Maker," the largest of the
three
ponds, is touted as a cure for arthritis, rheumatism,
cataracts,
vision problems and muscle pain.
The third pond, "The Enchantress,"
is supposed to cure skin
ailments and migraines. Local legend has
it that a fairy was seen
flying above it one night.
On a recent
day, dozens of mud-covered Peruvians bask on the
sides of each pond,
while others swim in the waist-deep water. The
ponds are just outside
Chilca and are surrounded by cheap hotels
one also called "The
Twin Maker."
"The mud is rich and we'd love to have twins,"
said Erudita
Alva, who drove over from Lima.
