Office Memorandum regarding Fred Kirsch correspondence

This document consists of two internal United States Government office memoranda, both dated August 22, 1953, originating from the Chief of the Applied Science Division. The primary purpose of these communications is to establish a protocol for handling correspondence received from an individual named Fred Kirsch. In the first memorandum, addressed to Major Tacker of the USAF, the author provides a copy of a letter from Mr. Kirsch and acknowledges Major Tacker's agreement to serve as the official authority for responding to such inquiries. The second memorandum, addressed to Mr. F. M. Chapin, formalizes this arrangement. It explicitly states that Major Tacker has been designated as the authority for UFO matters and that Mr. Kirsch should be notified accordingly. Furthermore, it instructs that any future correspondence from Mr. Kirsch sent to other areas of the government should be automatically forwarded to Major Tacker's desk. The document notes that Mr. Kirsch has already sent approximately 20 letters to the Air Force. The final action taken by the Applied Science Division is to inform Mr. Kirsch that his correspondence has been referred to the Air Force as the responsible authority for appropriate action.
