Mr. Dwight D. Eisenhower
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Dear General:
I am a member of the National Investigations
Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), headquarters
Washington, D.C., and would greatly appreciate your
answering the following questions:
1- Do you believe the unidentified flying
objects currently being seen in our skies to be un-
known superior machines under intelligent control?
2- If your answer to question #1 is in the
positive, do you believe the UFOs to be extrater-
restrial vehicles?
3- Do you believe the United States Air
Force is conducting a policy of secrecy and censor-
ship in regard to UFOs?
4- Do you support NICAP in its fight to
persuade Congress to conduct an impartial open in-
vestigation into the UFO problem?
5- If your answer to question #3 is in the
positive, do you consider such a policy to be justi-
fied?
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
John Laval
NICAP member
for
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

January 28, 1964
Dear Mr. Laval:
General Eisenhower has asked me to reply to your
letter of January 24th.
While he would like to respond personally to your
queries, the great demands on his time and his
present writing chores make it impossible for him
to do so. In addition, as a policy of long standing,
General Eisenhower does not complete questionnaires.
With appreciation for your understanding of the circum-
stances surrounding this negative reply,
Sincerely,
s/w
ROBERT L. SCHULZ
Brig. Gen., U.S.A. (Ret.)
Executive Assistant
