CIA letter to a scientist about UFOs

Summary

In January 1953, the CIA responded to a letter from Dr. Samuel A. Goudsmit, a physicist and member of prestigious institutions. The communication addressed a query about Allen Hynek's participation in an aerial research panel. Although Hynek contributed partially, he was not an official member and did not sign the final report. In contrast, Lloyd was a regular member and did sign the document. The letter also noted that Hynek was at the University of California at the time but was now working with Fred Whipple at Harvard. The tone is friendly and professional, including New Year's wishes.
