Correspondence regarding Mr. Davidson's inquiries on UFOs and CIA involvement

This document is a letter from the General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency to Congressman Joseph E. Karth. It addresses a series of inquiries made by an individual named Mr. Davidson regarding the Agency's alleged involvement in the 'Flying Saucer' phenomenon. The letter clarifies that Mr. Davidson has been in extensive correspondence with the CIA and the Air Force since early 1958. Mr. Davidson believes the CIA is withholding information that would prove the Agency is responsible for creating the 'Flying Saucer' phenomenon, citing the 1953 Scientific Advisory Panel report on UFOs. The CIA asserts that it provided Mr. Davidson with the declassified version of this report, but he remains convinced that the Agency is withholding information for security reasons. The letter notes that the CIA has not participated in any flying saucer activities since the 1950s and has referred all related correspondence to the U.S. Air Force. The document includes a table summarizing the correspondence history between Mr. Davidson, the CIA, and the Air Force, spanning from March 1958 to June 1961. The letter concludes by dismissing Mr. Davidson's claims as unfounded and notes that he has been soliciting support from other members of Congress to obtain information he believes would implicate the CIA in a '1984 type of thought control' scheme.
