This correspondence, dated May 29, 1958, from Philip G. Strong of the OSI to Dr. Luis W. Alvarez at the University of California, Berkeley, addresses the persistent inquiries made by a Mr. Leon Davidson. According to the document, both Lloyd Berkner and Bob Robertson had been 'besieged' by Davidson regarding their activities and the findings of the UFO panel that convened in 1953. Strong provides Dr. Alvarez with copies of correspondence exchanged between Robertson and Davidson to serve as a reference. He explicitly recommends that Dr. Alvarez adopt the 'general tenor' of Robertson's response should he be contacted by Davidson. The document notes that in previous instances, the standard procedure for handling Davidson's queries was to acknowledge receipt and inform him that his questions had been forwarded to the Air Force for appropriate action. The document includes a distribution list indicating copies were sent to the Assistant to the Director (Mr. Chapin), the Office of Security, DAD/C/SI, and ASD/SI.
