          | 1.       Reference is made to the letter from Mr.
          | J. A. Hennessey of London, England re UFOs.  From
          | past experience, I know that DPR has handled similar
          | inquiries to the satisfaction of all concerned.
          | Because in this particular instance neither intelligence
          | nor implimentation of UFO policy is involved, we would
          | prefer to get the correspondence out of intelligence
          | channels.  It would be greatly appreciated if DPR
          | would provide the desired reply, and fulfil the
          | Request of CplansI in MIN (2).  For your information
          | neither DAI nor the NNRHQ Intelligence agency is
          | familiar with "Project Blue Book".
