4. 1 think we can use this procedure as i precedent
1. tojor Byrne's office (A:CI'i) was contacted in regard to
the release of the panel report to Hz. Davidson and Major Keyhoe.
I was rererred to Major Tacrer, Office of the Secretary of Air
Force Information Service (SOM).
2,6 In response to our query as to whether Air Force had
any objection to our cnswering these letters enclosing a copy
of the. panel report, Major Tacker indicated that he had rather
the CIA twrward the letters to him with copies of the unclassi-
fied report and he will answer the letters. He stated that the
Air Force is endeavoring to impress.upon Major Aeyhoc and others
in a eimilar position, that his office is the proper place to
core for such information.
3. Innew of n3r conversation with} Tacker, I callsd
FF:ank Chapin the DDCI's ofiiee and advised him that the
Force no onJ.y preferred to answer the letters, but war
neat insistent that they be permitted to answer them. He,
therefore, is going to send the letters to b'ajor Tacker aa,t
