Documents / FOIA release
This is a Central Intelligence Agency memorandum from H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, released in 2001. It asks for unvouchered funds to pay fees, per diem and travel for a small panel of scientists advising on the unidentified flying objects problem. The panel was to meet in Washington, D.C. in January and February 1953. The memo estimates the cost at about $5,400 and attaches a cost breakdown for three consultants.
