-2- / STRATEGIC POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Doing so would not only be the fair and just thing to do, but would position the President Since most current operations are largely privatized and/or 'black', and probably beyond practical Presidential access, the most effective action for the President to take would be to : Neither the Congress nor the courts would have appropriate powers or jurisdiction to release these individuals for public testimony/ disclosure. Because of these factors, the only timely and appropriate means for obtaining protection for these potential witnesses is at the level of the President of the United States, via executive order. 1. Issue an Executive Order releasing individuals from their national security oaths related to this subject, as it pertains to historical involvement before 1975 or 1980. As mentioned in an earlier Briefing Document for the Clinton Administration, given to DCI Woolsey on 13 December 1993, the historical connection of the US Government to this subject will come out during the disclosure process. The Clinton Administration would be best served by positioning itself so that it would appear to be cooperative in the disclosure process. Otherwise, it may be unfairly accused of 'cover-up' , even though current operations related to ETI are largely privatized, or 'black budget' activities, and not directly linked to the President. Nevertheless, as legal head of the US Government, the President will be viewed as either a protector of the status quo, or a courageous leader who, at the minimum, facilitated the disclosure of this material. As set out in Project Starlight documents, and as previously presented to Director of Central Intelligence Woosley, it is our sincere desire to orchestrate this disclosure process and announcement in a unifying and non-political manner. Indeed, it is our intention that the process be as global and as inclusive as possible, taking care not to alarm or offend any culture or government. Our overall strategy is designed so that this disclosure will exert a positive, unifying effect on humanity, thus transcending the usual fractured surface of human life, while simultaneously establishing the foundation for future inter-planetary relations. Since some of these wimesses are willing to come forward even without an executive order, and since we possess adequate evidence to make a definitive case for the existence of these spacecraft, which will be presented in the worldwide media, it is in the best interests of the United States, its government and the President to move decisively in the direction of cooperation. 2. Issue an Executive Order releasing from all Government Agencies and Departments all documents related to this subject which date from the above period (ie prior to 1975 or 1980)
