AI-Generated Summary
Philip G. Strong writes to Dr. Thornton Page expressing interest in reviewing student papers on UFOs. He advises Dr. Page to keep the reviewing agency anonymous, referring to it only as part of the national defense establishment.
This document is a letter dated November 25, 1959, written by Philip G. Strong to Dr. Thornton Page of the Department of Astronomy at Wesleyan University. The correspondence concerns a previous letter sent by Dr. Page on November 19, 1959, regarding 'freshman papers' on the subject of UFOs. Mr. Strong informs Dr. Page that he has consulted with his associates who follow the subject of UFOs, and they have expressed interest in reviewing the papers. Mr. Strong advises Dr. Page that if he sends the papers to Washington, he should not explicitly identify the agency involved, but rather indicate that they are being reviewed by a part of the national defense establishment. Mr. Strong concludes by stating that he will write to Dr. Page again after he has had the opportunity to review the materials.
I am not at all sure what we could ultimately do with them and, in any case, I would suggest that, if you mention the papers being sent to Washington, you not identify the agency, but simply indicate that they are being reviewed by a part of the national defense establishment.
