A CIA Officer Responds to UFO Letters

Summary

In April 1958, a CIA officer named Chapin met to address the response to two letters from a citizen named Leon Davidson, who was inquiring about UFO-related matters. Chapin decided to follow the style of a previous response, simply acknowledging the letters and reiterating that the matter was the responsibility of the Air Force. After the meeting, Chapin called Major Taeker of the Air Force to coordinate the reply. Taeker confirmed he had already responded to one of the letters and that copies had been sent to the CIA. Chapin also informed him that he had briefly replied to a second letter and that copies of both incoming and outgoing correspondence would be sent to Taeker for further action.
