PUBLIC REQUESTED TO CALL THESE COMMITTEES Today, 24 December
1997, the following letter was sent to key Chairmen of
Congressional Committees by registered mail, return receipt
requested.


December 22, 1997

Washington, DC 20515

Dear Senator/Congressman,

For the past seven years, CSETI (The Center for the Study of
Extraterrestrial Intelligence) has been collecting scientific
evidence on the matter of extraterrestrial intelligence and
so-called UFOs.

We have identified a substantial amount of irrefutable evidence
as well as the testimony of over 100 military, intelligence
agency and civilian government witnesses who have held Top Secret
(TS) clearances, many of whom were additionally cleared for
access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). These people
have personally witnessed or been involved in covert operations
related to this subject or events of an unambiguous
extraterrestrial nature (see enclosures).

The implications of this matter transcend the interests of any
given branch or agency of the US government, and impact numerous
interrelated areas, all of which affect national security,
governmental function and finances and government
accountability.

In general, the US government and its legal representatives are
excluded from briefings and developments impacting this important
area -- a situation which we feel is unconstitutional,
dangerously avoids Congressional oversight, and which must be
corrected as soon as possible.

In meetings which I have had with a sitting CIA Director, members
of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Executive Branch
and senior military representatives in the Pentagon, I have found
that, while there is interest in the subject and general support
for a disclosure regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life
forms, there is an almost universal absence of information
available to these leaders.

The implications of excessive and undue secrecy surrounding this
issue should concern every member of Congress who is charged with
upholding the integrity of the U.S. Constitution and the rule of
law. The subject itself has vast implications for world peace,
science and new technologies, the environment, the economy and
geo-politics (see enclosed paper "Implications of an
Extraterrestrial Disclosure").

CSETI is hereby formally asking your committee to convene open
hearings on the subject of extraterrestrial intelligence
beginning with the next term of Congress. We are prepared to
provide you with a substantial body of detailed briefing
materials in addition to those enclosed, as well as the names of
bona-fide first hand military and intelligence witnesses who wish
to testify under oath before Congress. These heros of our country
are eager to inform the Congress and the American people of what
they know first-hand regarding this matter.

We respectfully ask that you reply to this request and answer the
following questions:

Is your committee willing to receive a preliminary briefing on
this subject?

If not, why?

Is your committee willing to allow open, publicly accessed
hearings on this subject?

If not, why?

CSETI and its worldwide network of military witnesses, scientists
and researchers are ready to provide you with a full briefing on
this subject at your earliest convenience. We feel the American
people, and the people of the world, deserve to know the truth of
this matter.

We request that our elected representatives assert their
constitutional rights on behalf of the American citizen to be
provided a full, reasonable disclosure on this matter in the next
term of Congress.

Sincerely,

Steven M. Greer M.D. International Director of CSETI
