PHILIP J. KLASS 404 "NST SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON, D.C 20024 (202) 554.880) Feb. 24, 1987 Mr. Paul Steucke Public Affairs Officer FAA Alaskan Region 701 "C" St., Box 14 Anchorage, Alaska 99513 Dear Paul Steucke: Enclosed is my check for $15.85 for the JAL/UFO incident materials indicated on the order form. My compliments to you and those responsible for offering such a full spectrum of data, including especially both the tape recordings and transcript of same. Having spent more than 20 years in the "strange land of UFOria,”" I know all too well the harsh charges typically levelled against the U.S. Government, the U.S. Air Force and and CIA of trying to "cover-up the truth about UFOs"--a charge that I consider to be demonstrably false. By offering both a transcript (which is the most useful) and a copy of the voice tapes to allow the "conspiracy-mongers" to verify the accuracy of the transcript, you should spare FAA and yourself such "coverup" criticism. But don't be surprised if such charges are later made if the hard-core "UFO-believers" are unable to find a "smoking gun." Cordially, VIAL 7y ) he oe ji ik iW)
