Director J. Edgar Hoover Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D. C. A very Happy Birthday... July 1967. I am very lucky to have the opportunity this afternoon to be able to Introduce to you the ufo contact igap journal. This magazine has been dedicated to Mr. George Adamski. Dear Mr. Hoover: My letter to you and the enclosed magazine is a project of my own. I am a reporter for ufo contact, and in this way I hope to bring to the attention of V.I.P. of our country, our magazine and the message that it contains, to the reader. I don't sell the magazine, but plan to give it to the person I write to as a gift. The cost is my own, and the experience I will gain will be my reward, perhaps an advancement to the position of co-worker for IGAP in the future. Thank you very much for giving me a moment of your time. I am sure you will find our magazine interesting. May I again wish you a very Happy Birthday! (Walter Kinchell) Column EXP. PROC. AUG 22 1967 UO
