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.
