b. Stated that the memorandum prepared by AD/Si on flying saucers did
not contain the information he desired. Mr. Amory noted that this was probably
due to Chadwell being overcautious in regard to the information at hand;
however, both Drs. Chadwell were at Wright-Patterson Field today (b)(1)
attending a meeting of the Air Technical Intelligence Committee at which this (b)(3)
subject was to be discussed and recommended the Director delay reporting to
the President on flying saucers until 19 December. The DCI approved. In
this connection, Mr. Amory stated that the FBI liaison officer had indicated to
him Mr.. Hoover's wish that the Bureau be kept informed on this subject and that
Papich had been advised they would, of course, receive all of the information
made available to the members of the IAC. The Director remarked that Mr. Hoover
should attend IAC meetings and thus receive his information first hand.
Mr. Wolf:

regarding an individual (John O'Hara) who might be willing to transfer from
