Summary
Collection of primarily 1998 draft and final correspondence from the White House and Congressional members' offices responding to constituent inquiries about UFOs. Topics include alleged UFO sightings, government secrecy, Area 51, and UFO-related legislation.
Significance
Provides a contemporaneous window into the 1998 political landscape around UFO disclosure. The correspondence shows the form of official government denials or acknowledgements in response to public pressure -- representing the standard institutional posture just years before the 2017 AATIP revelations began reshaping the discourse.
