This Federal Bureau of Investigation file section (62-HQ-83894, Section 10) holds UFO-related correspondence from 1966 to 1977. In a 1966 letter, Florence C. Dow of Goffstown, New Hampshire asked whether subscribing to the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America journal might link her to communists. J. Edgar Hoover replied that the Bureau does not evaluate organizations, and a copy of the journal is enclosed. Other items include a 1977 Air Force fact sheet on the end of Project Blue Book and a White House inquiry answered by the FBI, which said it had no jurisdiction over UFO sightings.

Dear Sir :
On September 17, 1963, Mr. John S . Castles , an FBI agent of the Newport
News, Va. contingent , visited me at my place of employment (Ft . Eustis, Va . )
to interview me as to my interest in the subject of unidentified flying
objects (UFO ' s) . I understand that Mr. Castles prepared a formal report of
that interview.
Since President Nixon recently has expressed his intention to assure that
the privacy and civil liberties of individual citizens receive the protection
they deserve under our fonn of government, it is in the spirit of that assurance
that I respectfully request that you send me a copy of Mr. Castles' report along
with a copy of all other documents in your files pertaining to my activities in
the UFO- research field .
tX-111 Yours sincerely,
./- y(~-;;r -::p::1974
