MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Flying Saucers Problem


     1.  At an informal discussion between DD/I , AD/IC, and Acting AD/ST, it was agreed that the saucer problem should be attacked by getting together the responsible individuals in the community to work out a program of research and intelligence which can then be implemented by them directly. The agreed program can then be forwarded to the DCI and possibly the Secretary of Defense and the balance of the National Securty Council as an established program rather than waiting for a great deal of formal, high level paper pushing before taking action.


    2.  DD/I directed Acting AD/SI to contact Dr. whitman and Gen. Sandord to arrange an appropriate time at which this problem can be reviewed. Acting AD/SI to call on Dr. Whitman and review the background of our study before the meeting.


    3.  Subsequently, Acting AD/SI was advised that the most convenient days for this meeting would be Monday or Tuesday, 20 or 21 October. Those present would be:


Dr. Walter G Whitman, Chairman RDB
Gen. John A. Sanford, Director of Intelligence, USAF
Mr. Loftus E. Becker DD/I
Mr. James G. Rober, AD/IC

plus others deemed appropriate by the principals.
