».<• C S E T I PO Box 15401 Asheville NC 28813 TO: President Bill Clinton FROM: CSETI Project Starlight, Steven M. Greer M.D. RE: Meeting and Executive Order r Who speaks for planet earth? We feel that the peop'e of earth should, not a small covert Our team has had recent conversations with former Air Force Office of Special Investigations and Naval Intelligence officers and other senior military personnel which indicate that current handling of this subject constitutes a threat to the national security, to the basic structures of constitutional democracy, and specifically to the integrity of the United States Constitution. As mentioned previously, we feel that a strategy leading to disclosure on this subject should be urgently pursued, and we are requesting a meeting win relevant Administration officials as soon as possible. Astronaut Gordon Cooper, Apollo Astronaut Dr. Brian O'leary, John F. Kennedy Chief Steward for Air Force One, Bill Holden, a prominent NASA scientist, and others could attend such a meeting. Please find enclosed several documents previously conveyed to the Administration via the Director of Central Intelligence (James Woolsey), the President's Science Advisor and Mr. Bruce Lindsey regarding the UFO/ETI subject. Long term trends towards increasingly covert, quasi-privatized, 'black-budget' management of this subject, combined with a concomitant increase in disinformation and public deception, must be arrested and reversed. Neither the Congress nor relevant and responsible military, intelligence and Administration officials are receiving honest and reliable information and assessments of this situation. Legal and constitutionally sanctioned control over this subject appears to have been diminished, if not completely lost, and this has created a dynamic of covert activities and programs which threaten the national security. Multiple military intelligence sources have independently confirmed to us the use of experimental, SDI related weapons against extraterrestrial spacecraft, with at least two successful hits. If this has even a remote chance of being true, it would indicate the dire need for a reversal of the covert management of this subject, and the need for the public and the international community to dialogue on this subject in a sane and rational manner. Very senior members of the U.N. community with whom we have met concur with this assessment. MEMO 8 May 1995
