Let me look at several: 1. Kevin's argument that since Ike would have known about Roswell, as Chief of Staff in 1947, there would have been no need for a preliminary briefing in 1952 as the president elect, is an old and faulted one. It might have held if Ike had remained as Chief of Staff through 1952. But he had already in June, 1947, announced he was stepping down to be tbe President of Colmbia University. He was there for a couple of years and was writing his memoirs as well. Then he spent a couple of years in Europe trying to tie the devastated former enemy nations of Europe into a coalition to resist the Soviets, only coming back to the US around June of 1952 for the Republican convention.As noted in my 108 p. "Final Report on Operation Majestic 12" l990, FUFOR, (available from UFORI, $14. postpaid, POB 958, Houlton, ME 04730-0958), he states in "Mandate for Change" p.85, that he was briefed that summer of l952 on National Security matters by W.B.Smith, DCI. Smith in a 2 page Jan.9, l953, letter to Truman notes that he had arranged 4 briefings for Ike during the campaign and 4 after the Nov. 4 election. The entire letter is on pages E-9 and E10 of "Final Report..."Clearly he needed and received briefings on National Security matters after his long time out of the loop. The CIA has been unable to locate anything related to those briefings. 2. I referred to the need for access to classified files re the history of Area 51 and Kevin commented "we do have access to the public records which show no evidence of any secret facility in 1954" . To the best of my knowledge public records are by definition, not classified. How could they show evidence of classified balck matters. The area is, according to one writer the size of Switzerland. A facility for collection, storage, and evaluation of bodies and wreckage need not be the size of Switzerland. Ed Stewart sets a new standard for classification when he stated as repeated by Scott Hale "Before information becomes classified, it is in the public domain and out there". Using Ed's phrase (would I ever say any such thing?) this is "unadulterated poppycock". Many Black Programs are by definition born classified. There were no public domain releases on the Manhattan Project, the city of Los Alamos, the Stealth Fighter, the U-2 etc ad nauseum before they became classified, were there Ed?. 3. I suppose I should appreciate Kevin making me the Rupert Murdoch of the UFO publishing world by twice using the phrase "self published" with regard to my 29 papers on MJ-12 and Roswell not listed in his long list of references in "The Truth about The UFO Crash at Roswell". Sorry Kevin; all 29 were published by someone other than me such as IUR, MUFON J., FATE, UFO Universe, Proceedings of the various MUFON Symposia,etc. I have indeed distributed copies of many of these through UFORI as noted above. Here are 3 self published items "S.E.T.I., Sagan and Science " 27pg., l993;"Roswell Incident, USAF, and the NY Times" 9/26,l994; and, of most direct concern to our discussion, but not included in the 29, "Operation Majestic 12? YES!" 37pages 8/94. Each is only $4.postpaid from UFORI with a special price for all three of only $10.00 postpaid. 4. Ed I hate to tell you this, but JUST CAUS is not a referreed scientific journal. It is a newsletter going to a few hundred people. It has been known to make mistakes about MJ-12. For example, as noted on p.49 of "Final Report..." I pointed out that the December, 1985. JC article stated that the Ike Briefing was classified Top Secret Eyes Only (leaving out MAJIC), was 9 back to back pages, dated Sept. 18, l947 and signed by Truman. It was 8 one sided pages, not signed by anybody, though the TF memo (p.8) was signed by Truman.The date is Nov. 18. for those who think that September might have been a typo, please note that it also stated "Septmber 18, l947 is the birthdate of the CIA! Is it a concidence or a telltale clue to the document being a phoney...."... 5. For Kevin, I am well aware of Dr.Pankratz's comments . Obviously if the Ike or Truman libraries had MJ-12 documents of their own, we wouldn't be having this discussion. That doesn't mean they don't exist. The presidential Archives do NOT get everything from that administration. The regulations about security markings are one thing, the reality is quite another again as I have noted. Dr. Pankratz was also early on in error in some of his coments about the CT memo.. as I reported in Final Report.... Enough of my time. STF
