AN EXPLANATION OF THE ROSWELL DECLARATION

The Roswell Declaration is part of a worldwide effort to end
U.S. Government secrecy surrounding the 1947 Roswell incident.
It contains an appeal to the Administration for an Executive
Order to declassify any U.S. Government information regarding
the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial intelligence.  You can
help by signing and returning a copy of the Declaration.

The effort is being supported by three independent nonprofit
organizations devoted to the serious study of the UFO
phenomenon.  The membership of the governing committees of these
organizations consists primarily of researchers, scientists, and
Ph.D.s.  The three organizations are the Mutual UFO Network
(MUFON), 103 Oldtowne Road, Seguin, Texas 78155; the Center for
UFO Studies (CUFOS), 2457 W. Peterson Avenue, Chicago, Illinois
60659; and the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR), P.O. Box 277, Mt.
Ranier, Maryland 20712.

UFO organizations throughout the world are involved in a drive
to obtain signatures from scientists, professionals, and the
general public in support of the Roswell Declaration.  On a
yet-to-bedetermined day later this year, the news media in
different countries around the world will be notified and
furnished with material about the Roswell incident in an effort
to bring international attention to the Roswell case.

On that same day, a copy of the Roswell Declaration, along with
a listing of the total number of signatories from each of the
fifty states will be delivered to the offices of all members of
Congress and to the White House.  In other countries, signed
copies of the Roswell Declaration will be delivered to the
American embassy for forwarding to the White House.  If finances
permit, a copy of the Roswell Declaration will be placed in the
first section of the national edition of a major U.S. newspaper
as well as in other major newspapers around the world.

Polls have shown that more than fifty percent of the people in
the United States believe in the existence of UFOs and
extraterrestrial intelligence.  Unfortunately, that interest has
never been galvanized into a large-scale grassroots movement.
With the "Roswell Declaration,"  this may now become a reality.

Since this will be primarily a word-of-mouth, grassroots effort,
your help in making copies of the Declaration and distributing
them to as many people as possible will be of great importance.
The Declaration is being made available on computer bulletin
boards throughout the world.  A five- page position paper, "Time
for the Truth About Roswell," from which the Declaration is
derived, will also be made available.  The position paper
includes a detailed summary of the Roswell event, an analysis of
the media and government treatment of it, and arguments for
allowing the public to know the truth.

The position paper and the Declaration were written by Kent
Jeffrey of Fairfax, California.  Mr. Jeffrey has researched the
Roswell event extensively, worked with several of the leading
investigators, and interviewed a number of the Roswell
witnesses.  He is an international airline pilot whose interest
in the Roswell case stems in part from the fact that his father,
a retired colonel and former air force pilot (and WWII fighter
ace), at one time knew and worked with one of the key Roswell
figures, General William Blanchard.

Although it is felt by the organizers of this effort that there
is a high degree of probability the U.S. Government is
withholding information regarding the existence of
extraterrestrial intelligence, the primary goal is to get the
matter into the open so that the truth can be conclusively
determined, one way or the other.  It is hoped, therefore, that
all individuals, no matter what their opinion on the subject,
will support this effort.
