I think it is interesting to note that this report has been available
from CUFOS, for a number of years.  Its even less expensive from Cufos!
The Cufos version also adds some letters which document how the Air
Force denied that the report was written for it.  There is also
documentation which shows that RAND denied it had done research on UFOs
or had anything available on this topic for external distribution (which
of course it did not at this time).  Perhaps Glenn Campbell can shed
some light on how it has come to pass that RAND is now willing to sell
this document to the public.

George Kocker's UFOs: What to Do? costs $4.50 + 1.30 postage and
handling

If you find the report disappointing don't say you weren't warned.
Perhaps the only thing interesting about it is that its existence for
external distribution outside RAND was denied for a number of years.
What would be interesting to learn is how it came to be written - who
contracted for the report, background on George Kocher, distribution
list, etc.  If anyone has further information on this I would appreciate
it.
