PHILIP J. KLASS 404 ‘'N"’ ST. SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON, D. C. 20024 (202) 554-5901 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 andand CIA of trying to "cover-up the truth about UFOsS"--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, ‘AFD ay c |} ji i diy 7
