On June 25th, 1969, an official letter from RAND stated: "We are unable to
identify any RAND publications on U. F. O.'s available for external
distribution."

On August 8, 1969, RAND wrote: "RAND has done very little on the subject of
UFO's: therefore, no publications have been written on the subject."

On Oct 2, 1969, William Laub of Northfield, IL, wrote a letter to the Air
Force (Lt. Col. James Aikman) about this document. Aikman stated in his
reply, "The RAND Corporation has never made any reports on UFOs for the US
Air Force. If any reports were made by this corporation they were made on
their own." (RAND Corp. was an Air Force contractor).

This was not a secret document, but unavailable to the public for obvious
reasons. We've had a copy of this document for many years.
