The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published in 1995 by Headquarters United States Air Force. It was written in response to Representative Steven H. Schiff's request and a General Accounting Office audit, and it contains Col. Richard L. Weaver's report and 1st Lt. James McAndrew's synopsis, along with attachments, appendices and photographs. The report says researchers found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from a Project MOGUL balloon train.

Attention: Mr. c. s. Schneider. Research Assistant
Dear Mr. Schneider a
This is in reply to your letter of April 17th.
It is true that at N.Y. Airspace SubcOIIIinittee Meeting #12, we advised
you that the Phase II operations would be restricted to weather conditions
in which the sky was clear of clouds below 20.000 feet and the visibility
at least three miles at all altitudes up to and including 20,000 rt. However,
it was indicated that t~ese conditions were subject to concurrence and approval
by the Washington Airspace SUbcommittee.
In order to expedite final approval of this case. coordination was effected
with the Washington Airspace SUbcommittee tmmediately subsequent to our
Meeting #12. It "WaS revealed as a result of such coordination that the
Washington Committee felt that the ceiling restriction was inadequate in
the interests of air safety and required that a cloudless sky condition be
specified.
This information was relayed to the members of the N.Y. Airspace Subcommittee
and they in turn concurred with this amendJnent in tile interest of air safety.
The minutes of New York Meeting #12 were amended accordingly.
Yours very truly,
c. J. Stoek
Secretary • N• Y. Airspace Subcommittee
