This document is definitely _not_ new. It was originally received by Dr. Bruce Maccabee in the late 1970s, with about 1600 other FBI UFO pages, in response to his FOIA request. It is included in the 1980 book "The Roswell Incident" by Charles Berlitz and William L. Moore and included in Bill's (1985) 50 page MUFON Symposium Paper 'Crashed Saucers --Evidence in Search of Proof' ($8.00 including P. and H from UFORI, POB 958, Houlton, ME 04730-0958). It is also selectively quoted from in a totally deceptive fashion, as might be expected, by Colonel Richard Weaver in 'The Roswell Report Fact vs. Fiction in the New Mexico Desert'. He had the chutzpah to leave out the clause starting "but telephonic (sic) conversation...." I noted this and many other deceptive comments by Weaver in my 1994, 27 page paper "Roswell Incident, USAF, and NY Times" ($4. from UFORI.) and also in my 1996 book TOP SECRET/MAJIC (autographed, hard cover only $15 from UFORI) page 114. Yes, there really was a lot done before the internet became so popular.. Stanton Friedman
