This 1970 USAF Office of Information file from the 21st Air Division at Hancock Field, Syracuse, collects community relations correspondence. It includes Enrico Grimaldi's report of faint star-like objects seen over Commack, Long Island on November 21, 1970, and Major Francis C. Moriarty's reply. The reply notes that Project Blue Book ended December 17, 1969, so the Air Force would not investigate. The file also holds a draft article on NORAD and SAGE, survey requests, thank-you letters and press tour messages.

M.C. STITH ADMINISTRATOR Major General George V. Williams Commanding Officer, U.S. Air Force Hancock Field Syracuse, New York Vice Dear General Williams: We have now written a follow-up letter to the crew of our Mercy Flight of April 1, 1970, advising them of the success of Jerry Terela's transplant. Thank you for your letter informing us of their names and addresses. My wife and I shall visit TSgt Pratschler's children in Matamoras within the next two weeks with a new Spring wardrobe for each. This is not charity, for which I have little use, but an investment in a man who is fulfilling his commitment to his nation and his family in spite of hardship. As I told you on the telephone, he related to me the loss of his wife last year by renal failure, so he had a real personal interest in the flight. We trust you will express yourself should you feel this is improper. I sincerely hope to meet you personally someday very soon. Sincerely yours Dere / Lecam Horace T. Dumont Director of Public Relations 1. 00 For your information the President希望你到他办公室来
