Directive Regarding President's EYES ONLY

This document, issued by the Director of Central Intelligence (MJ-1) to members of the MJ-12 group (MJ-2 through MJ-7), serves as a directive to review and evaluate the duplication of field activities related to several projects, including Project MAJESTIC, JEHOVAH, EVIRO, PARASITE, and PARHELION. The Director emphasizes that this review is critical to the group's continued operation, noting that an entity referred to as 'LANCER' has made inquiries into their activities that the group cannot allow. The document includes a draft directive titled 'Directive Regarding President's EYES ONLY.' This draft outlines a protocol for handling discussions concerning unidentified flying objects or unconventional aerial weapons with high-level officials, including the Chief Executive, the National Security Council Staff, department heads, and the Joint Chiefs. The directive instructs that a standard response should be used to redirect such inquiries and explicitly forbids members from suggesting, by inference or otherwise, that these subjects constitute a national security threat. An exception is provided only in the unlikely event that such objects overtly display hostile intent toward the security of the United States, in which case full disclosure should be made in accordance with the law. The document lists several tabs for review, including references to DoD 5200.1, Project BLUE BOOK, Freedom of Information, PSYOP, BW, and Project ENVIRONMEN.
