THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT - STEVEN M. GREER MD, DIRECTOR - 14 November 2007

Dear Governor Symington and Mr. Fox,

Congratulations on an excellent press conference on Monday. We are  heartened to see the process of Disclosure continuing and that some  of the witnesses and materials brought forward by The Disclosure  Project (www.DisclosureProject.org) are continuing to reach the public.

Regarding the request for a government/civilian panel to investigate  the UFO matter, while we appreciate your laudable purpose in making  this request, we are concerned about the unintended strategic  consequences of such a process. To wit:

> It is important to realize that powerful and well-funded  unacknowledged special access projects (USAPs) within sectors of the  US and other governments, and working largely through ‘work for  others’ contracts with private institutes and corporations, have  already been investigating the UFO/ET matter for decades.

> These projects are rogue, unconstitutional and transnational in  nature. In briefings that I conducted personally for CIA Director R.  James Woolsey, Defense Intelligence Agency Director General Patrick  Hughes, the Director of Intelligence, Joint Staff (J2) and senior  members of key Congressional committees (Senate Intelligence  Committee, House Government Oversight committee, etc.) among others,  it was made clear that the chain of command has been subverted. Even  after providing current project code names and numbers to J2, and  after he subsequently located one of these USAPs within the Pentagon  and demanded to be ‘read into’ (or briefed) on the operation,  this Admiral  informed us that he was denied access to these projects.

> The science and technology behind these ET vehicles have been  studied since at least the 1940’s and have been largely understood  and reproduced. Their energy and pr!
opulsion systems, once disclosed, would eliminate the need for oil,  gas, coal, nuclear power, public utilities and so forth. Many UFO  sightings are, in fact, of these advanced aircraft which have been  developed by Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, SAIC and other  military contractors and were operational by the late 1950s.

> Importantly, in 1969 the Condon Committee at the University of  Colorado, a panel much like what you are recommending, became a fraud  perpetrated on the public, and its chairman, Dr. Condon, was a  secret, unacknowledged CIA asset (after briefing CIA Director Woolsey  and making a FOIA request, we obtained a CIA document that  establishes this fact). Dr. Robert Wood, then of McDonnel Douglas  Aerospace, was involved with the Condon Committee and discovered that  Dr. Condon was sanitizing any credible evidence from the report and  even withheld such evidence from other panel members (see  www.DisclosureProject.org witness testimony by Dr. Wood). When Dr.  Wood challenged Dr. Condon on this behavior, Dr. Condon contacted Mr.  McDonnel directly and attempted to get Dr. Wood fired.  Any such  committee today would most likely be a similar corrupt hoax and would  seriously set-back Disclosure and only deepen the cover-up.

> In light of the above, we recommend a strategy to have open,  secrecy-free hearings before a relevant Congressional committee, such  as the House Government Oversight Subcommittee for domestic affairs,  chaired by UFO-observer Rep. Dennis Kucinich, or some other committee  headed by a similarly honest and trustworthy chairperson.  Alternatively, a hearing by the UN or the World Court would be an  acceptable venue.

> Importantly, since The Disclosure Project now has over 400  military, government, corporate and intelligence witnesses from  around the world, as well as corroborating official documents and  project code numbers and names, such a pool of witnesses testifying  before an open, televised hearing would assure honest, real-time  Disclosure. This pro!
cess, so long as open and conducted by an honest chairperson, would  be much less likely to be corrupted than a government panel  investigation.

I wish you great success in your important work towards disclosing  the truth about UFOs and wish to assure you that all of us at The  Disclosure Project stand ready to assist you and this process in  every way we can.  Please feel free to contact me at any time to  discuss this matter further.


Best always,


Steven M. Greer MD
