Subject: More Reactions to Barry Greenwood's CAUS

My understanding is that when Barry Greenwood re-activated
the JUST CAUSE newsletter in 1984, CAUS was already an inactive
and for all practical purposes abandoned organization since
about 1982. Barry then asked Peter Gersten if it was alright to
re-activate the newsletter and Gersten had no objections and
apparently at the time no interest which has continued until
his recent emergence back on the UFO scene some 16 years after
1982....

For the last fourteen years, Greenwood was CAUS. CAUS without
Greenwood is just another acronym with no real meaning. The
history of accomplishments that are directly attributate to
Greenwood and the associates he worked with for the last fourteen
years had nothing to do with the CAUS that was abandoned around
1982, nor Gersten himself. The only value of CAUS over the last
14 years was Greenwood and the JUST CAUSE newsletter he edited
and published plus the research and findings that Greenwood and
his associates uncovered since 1984.

I am sad to hear about Mr. Greenwood's resignation. Unfortunately,
I have never talked to him before personally, but please give him
my respects. His work along with Mr. Fawcett's work in the book
The UFO Cover-up really inspired me to do research of my own with
the FOIA, and also to start The Black Vault.

We cannot let the whackos run the show. The rational truth
bearers must take the forefront, no matter what. We can't sit
back and let this happen.

For almost 14 years Greenwood and Fawcett ran CAUS. Peter Gersten
retained the title of Director in name only.  CAUS policy was set
by Greenwood in the newsletter, JUST CAUSE.

Barry Greenwood is well known for his critical, common sense
approach to the UFO problem.  His no nonsense approach built CAUS'
credibility.  It was one of the few organization in the US that
was not tainted by slipshod thinking.

After over a decade of absence, Peter Gersten returned.  Without
even consulting Greenwood, Gersten reasserted control and
associated the CAUS name with a number of dubious elements.
What a sad day for ufology.

==============================================================
Greenwood was CAUS and CAUS will mean nothing without Greenwood.
I was alraedy envisaging to translate and publish the last issue
of Just Cause before the news broke out. This has decided me to
pay a special tribute to CAUS' public action and to go through
with this publication.

Could you possibly ask Barry if we have permission to proceed
and wish him, on our behalf all the success with his new
publication we look  forward to reading.

You can surely add my name to the people who support Barry. Sorry,
but my english is not enough good to make a statment of support.
Please add my support to any statment you want. You know already
what I think about Barry, you and a few others UFO researchers and
historians. Today, Ufology is in its dark years (cultists, believers,
conspiracy, ....), you are the keepers of the reliable knowledge,
gathering huge amounts of data (which would have been lost without
your work), and establishing archives on the UFO phenomena for the
future.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have just read the statement from Barry Greenwood in regard
to his resignation from CAUS.  In order to maintain his well
deserved reputation for integrity and clear-thinking, he had
no other choice but to resign.  Barry is one of those rarities
in the field of "Ufology" these days, a person who adheres to
critical thinking, and does not succumb to the rampant idiocy
that is crippling this field.  He is a far better man than those
who succeed him at CAUS.  I look forward to his new publication
which should be read by all concerned.  Barry deserves our total
support. Jan, please feel free to print this.
