Proposed meeting with Governor Peterson in 1953

Summary

In April 1953, an internal CIA memo proposed a meeting with Governor Peterson to discuss scientific intelligence matters. The document mentions contacting Fred Babbitt to coordinate details, including a possible date on April 30th. It was suggested that if the governor himself attended, the meeting should take place in his office, or in the OSI headquarters if he delegated someone. The memo reflects an internal coordination effort to ensure key figures like Dr. H. P. Robertson, the Panel's chairman, would be present.

The text shows a practical and organizational approach typical of the bureaucracy of the time. Although it does not directly mention UFOs, the context of scientific intelligence and meetings with political figures suggests it could be related to ongoing investigations. The document, though brief, offers insight into how internal communications were handled at the CIA during the 1950s, a period of great interest in unidentified aerial phenomena.
