 On October 5, 1982, Dr. Brain T. Clifford of the Pentagon
 announced at a press conference ("The Star",  New York, Oct. 5,
 1982) that contact between U.S. citizens and extra-terrestrials or
 their vehicles is strictly illegal.

 According to a law already on the books

 (Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, adopted on
 July 16, 1969, before the Apollo moon shots), anyone guilty of such
 contact automatically becomes a wanted criminal to be jailed for one
 year and fined $5,000.  The NASA administrator is empowered to
 determine  with or without a hearing that a person or object has been
 "extraterrestrially exposed" and impose an indeterminate quarantine
 under armed guard, which could not be broken even by court order.

 There is no limit placed on the number of individuals who could
 thus be arbitrarily quarantined.

 The definition of "extraterrestrial exposure" is left entirely
 up to NASA administrator, who is thus endowed with total dictatorial
 power to be exercised at his slightest caprice, which is completely
 contrary to the Constitution.

 According to Dr. Clifford, whose commanding officers have been
 assuring the public for the last 39 years that UFO's are nothing more
 than hoaxes and delusions to be dismissed with a condescending smile:
 "This is really no joke, it's a very serious matter."  This
 legislation was buried in the 1,211th subsection of the 14th section
 of a batch of regulations very few members of government probably
 bothered to read in its entirety, the proverbial needle in the
 haystack, and was slipped onto the books without public debate.

 Thus from one day to the next we learn that, without having
 informed the public, in its infinite wisdom, the government of the
 United States has created a whole new criminal class: UFO contactees.

 The lame excuse offered by NASA as a sugar coating for this bitter
 pill is that extra-terrestrials might have a virus that could wipe out
 the human race.  This is certainly one of the many possibilities
 inherent is such contact, but just as certainly not the only one , and
 in itself not a valid reason to make all contact illegal or to declare
 contactees criminals to be jailed and fined immediately.

 It appears the primary effect of such a law would not be to prevent
 contact, it would be to silence witnesses.  If enforced, the law would
 prevent publication of contactee reports except under cover of
 anonymity, and unleash a modern inquisition in the Land of the Free.
 However, it is unenforceable,  so obviously absurd and unfair that the
 public will refuse to accept it.  The citizens of the United States
 will greet it with a resounding Bronx cheer and laugh it out of court,
 forcing it to be repealed.

 It should be replaced by clearly worded legislation, not open to
 interpretation in a multitude of different ways, humanely relevant to
 the contingency of E.T. contact, debated and passed by Congress openly
 instead of slipped through "under the table" without the public being
 informed.

 According to NASA spokesman Fletcher Reel, the law as it stands is
 not immediately applicable, but in case of need could quickly be made
 applicable.  What this means is that it is ambiguously worded, so that
 it can be interpreted either one way or the other, as the government
 desires.

 It is certainly not a coincidence that Dr. Clifford held his press
 conference during the period when the popularity of the film E.T. was
 at its peak.  As E.T. portrayed a type of extraterrestrial that was
 benevolent and lovable, the inference is that the press conference was
 intended to discourage attempts to communicate or fraternize with UFO
 occupants.  However, instead of having the intended effect, it
 backfired, causing public furor.  There may be some relationship
 between this fiasco and the next semi-officially endorsed attempt to
 deal with the subject of extra-terrestrials, the TV film V, which was
 featured with repeat performances and maximum publicity by major
 networks worldwide.  The aliens portrayed in V are the most horrifying
 and repulsive nightmares imaginable, who are defeated thanks largely
 to a CIA hit man specializing in covert operations, the tough guy with
 the heart of gold who with the aid of the handsome hero saves the
 human race.  This is obvious and transparent propaganda, designed to
 do what the government's widespread use of dis-information, and Dr.
 Clifford's press conference about the absurd lemon of a law already on
 the books failed to do:  squelch attempts to communicate or fraternize
 with UFO occupants.

 One way to avoid widespread panic at the announcement of the news
 that we are under surveillance by nonhuman intelligent beings with a
 technology far more sophisticated than our own is to point out that
 this situation is nothing new, but has literally been going on for
 millennia.

 If the "flying dragons" mentioned in the I Ching intended to attack
 and destroy us, they could easily have carried out this objective long
 ago.  Along with this article, the text of the E.T. Law will be
 presented.  However, there are several points that I wish to make:

 1211.101 Applicability.  The provisions of this part apply to all
 NASA manned and unmanned space missions...

 I could dismiss this whole controversy as a tempest in a teacup if
 the above passage contained the word "only", so as to read: "The
 provisions of this part apply only to all NASA manned and unmanned
 space missions..." However, it does not contain that one little word
 which would have made such a big difference.  If the government was
 suddenly faced with the accomplished fact of an undeniable overt E.T.
 visitation, this regulation could therefore, be construed as being
 applicable to all space missions, NASA or non NASA, whether of
 terrestrial or extra-terrestrial origin.  As it stands, this law is
 applicable to UFO contact.  The meaning would have to be stretched,
 but the built-in loophole does exist.

 1211.102 Definitions. (b) (2):  Touched directly or been in close
 proximity to  (or been exposed indirectly to )...Even without involved
 in a UFO close encounter would become eligible for indefinite
 quarantine under armed guard according to the above.  By including
 indirect exposure, the NASA administrator is empowered to make the
 definition mean just about anything he wants it to.  An example of
 indirect exposure is given, but an example is not a definition.
 Unless indirect exposure is defined precisely, it can mean almost
 anything.  The possibility is not specifically ruled out that other
 types of indirect exposure than the example given might be considered
 valid grounds to "quarantine" a citizen or group of citizens.

 In my opinion, it is vital that we challenge the validity of his law,
 for if it is allowed to stand unchallenged, UFO contactees and
 researchers may all meet behind barbed wire and armed guards somewhere
 in Alaska.  I strongly urge everyone who reads the E.T. Law, Title 14,
 Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations (at the end of this
 article), to clip it out, and send it on to your congressman, with a
 demand penciled in, to repeal this absurd and potentially lethal law.
 We must use reason, and transcend fear in order to make this planet a
 place where all may live in peace and harmony, as One.

       Text of the E.T. Law
 1211.100 Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space

 Part 1211 - Extra-terrestrial Exposure

 1211.100 - Scope

 This part establishes: (a) NASA policy, responsibility and authority
 to guard the Earth against any harmful contamination or adverse
 changes in its environment resulting from personnel, spacecraft and
 other property returning to the Earth after landing on or coming
 within the atmospheric envelope of a celestial body; and (b) security
 requirements, restrictions and safeguards that are necessary in the
 interest of national security.

 1211.101 - Applicability

 The provisions of this part to all NASA manned and unmanned space
 missions which land or come within the atmospheric envelope of a
 celestial body and return to the Earth.

 1211.102 - Definitions

 (a) "NASA" and the "Administrator" mean, respectively the National
 Aeronautics and Space Administration and the administrator of the
 National Aeronautics and Space Administration or his authorized
 representative.

 (b) "Extra-terrestrially exposed" means the state of condition of any
 person, property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever, who
 or which has:

 (1) Touched directly or come within the atmospheric envelope or any
 other celestial body; or

 (2) Touched directly or been in close proximity to (or been exposed
 indirectly to ) any person, property, animal or other form of life or
 matter who or which has been extra-terrestrially exposed by virtue of
 paragraph (b)(1) of this section.

      For example, if person or thing "A" touches the surface of the
 Moon, and on "A's"  return to Earth, "B" touches "A" and,
 subsequently, "C" touches "B", all of these - "A"  through "C"
 inclusive - would be extra-terrestrially exposed ("A" and "B"
 directly; "C" indirectly).

 (c) "Quarantine" means the detention, examination and decontamination
 of any persons, property, animal or other form of life or matter
 whatever that is extra-terrestrially exposed, and includes the
 apprehension or seizure of such person, property, animal or other form
 of life or matter whatever.

 (d) "Quarantine period" means a period of consecutive calendar days as
 may be established in accordance with 1211.104 (a).

 1211.104 - Policy

 (a) Administrative actions.  The Administrator or his designee..shall
 in his discretion:

      (1) Determine the beginning and duration of a quarantine period
 with respect to any space mission; the quarantine period as it applies
 to various life forms will be announced.

      (2) Designate in writing quarantine officers to exercise
 quarantine authority.

      (3) Determine that a particular person, property, animal, or
 other form of life or matter whatever is extra-terrestrially exposed
 and quarantine such person, property, animal, or other form of life or
 matter whatever. The quarantine may be based only on a determination,
 with or without the benefit of a hearing, that there is probable cause
 to believe that such person, property, animal or other form of life or
 matter whatever is extra-terrestrially exposed.

 (4) Determine within the United States or within vessels or vehicles
 of the United States the place, boundaries, and rules of operation of
 necessary quarantine stations.

 (5) Provide for guard services by contract or otherwise, as many be
 necessary, to maintain security and inviolability of quarantine
 stations and quarantined persons, property, animals or other form of
 life or matter whatever.

 (6) Provide for the subsistence, health and welfare of persons
 quarantined under the provisions of this part.

 (7) Hold such hearings at such times, in such manner and for such
 purposes as may be desirable or necessary under this part, including
 hearings for the purpose of creating a record for use in making any
 determination under this part for the purpose of reviewing any such
 determination.

 (b)(3) During any period of announced quarantine, no person shall
 enter or depart from the limits of the quarantine station without
 permission of the cognizant NASA officer.  During such period, the
 posted perimeter of a quarantine station shall be secured by armed
 guard.

 (b) (4) Any person who enters the limits of any quarantine station
 during the quarantine period shall be deemed to have consented to the
 quarantine of his person if it is determined that he is or has become
 extra-terrestrially exposed.

 (b)(5) At the earliest practicable time, each person who is
 quarantined by NASA shall be given a reasonable opportunity to
 communicate by telephone with legal counsel or other persons of
 his choice.

 1211.107 Court or other process

 (a) NASA officers and employees are prohibited from discharging from
 the limits of a quarantine station any quarantined person, property,
 animal or other form of life or matter whatever during order or other
 request, order or demand an announced quarantine period in compliance
 with a subpoena, show cause or any court or other authority without
 the prior approval of the General Counsel and the Administrator.

 (b) Where approval to discharge a quarantined person, property,
 animal or other form of life or matter whatever in compliance with
 such a request, order or demand of any court or other authority is not
 given, the person to whom it is directed shall, if possible, appear in
 court or before the other authority and respectfully state his
 inability to comply, relying for his action on this 1211.107.

 1211.108 Violations

 Whoever willfully violates, attempts to violate, or conspires to
 violate any provision of this part or any regulation or order issued
 under this part or who enters or departs from the limits of a
 quarantine station in disregard of the quarantine rules or regulations
 or without permission of the NASA quarantine officer shall be fined
 not more that $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.

 Write or call your congressman and tell him you want this law
 taken off the books.
