From: (b)(6). Subject: Inbound-White_House_WWW_MAIL => PRESIDENT. [...] PERSONAL-NAME: (b)(6). ORGANIZATION: CSETI. RELATIONSHIP: member. STREET-ADDRESS: (b)(6). CITY: Minneapolis. STATE-PROVINCE: MN. COUNTRY: USA. PURPOSE: Ask a specific question regarding Administration policy. TOPIC: Science or Technology. AFFILIATION: Private Citizen. SUBJECT: public congressional hearings on extraterrestrial evidence. [Message] Dear Mr. President: During these trying days in your Presidency, I want to let you know and appreciate the work you have done as President and the warmth and good humor you've displayed. I would like to suggest as a way of changing the headlines about sex in the White House, to an area that would give you a real legacy and enlighten the world as to are place in the universe... As a member of CSETI, I support open Congressional Hearings or even a Presidential Discussion - public - regarding evidence as to the existence of alien beings and spacecraft in our government's possession. Last April members of your staff were present during Congressional Hearings in private with people who were in someway connected with knowledge about alien beings, ET technology, spacecraft. Did those discussions make you more interested to know more or are you being advised not encourage any more meetings with CSETI? Sometimes, sir... you have to take a positive risk on matters that can change the world for the better. The Richard Helms and Strom Thurmond types must be dealt with firmly. Whether it's opening Cuba to economic trade or a healthy discussion on a matter that will be far more remembered than whom you may or may not have had sex with, standing up to these dinosaurs and people like them, will go a long way in the American public's and historians recognition of you as a leader to another level. I do not have CSETI's telephone number in order for you and your staff to coordinate hearings with Dr. Steven Greer. But, his website address is: www.cseti.org. I've heard early in your Presidency you asked former colleage Webster Hubbel to investigate what is known about UFO's. I think compared to past presidents, you have been kept in the dark about ET matters. Well, I hope that your interest in the topic hasn't totally diminished. Scientists, engineers, former astronauts, militay personnel and just plain citizens would like to speak up and discuss what they know. The American public's attitude would turn from initial cynicism to enlightenment. Even if it means we are not on good terms with are alien visitors, or we are not the smartest or strongest intelligent power out there, we can handle it. So... I do hope you receive this e-mail and not just one of the many assistants answering letters for you. This letter can make a difference... and so can you Mr. President. It won't cost millions of dollars to conduct a hearing/investigation of potential huge benefits to so many. Best Regards, (b)(6)
