Off, elephone ey _URIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS (UFO) Direc Sec’y Stanley Schneider of the Office of Science and Technology, White House, telephonically contacted me today to inquire as to the Bureau's procedure for handling information received from the public or otherwise, relating to sightings of UFOs. He advised that Jody Powell of the President's staff has raised the question as to whether or not there is any coordination within the Executive Branch relating to information concerning this subject. He stated that the U.S. Air Force had closed their investigation of these matters several years ago and currently does nothing but refer such information to appropriate local authorities. , I advised him that as far as the FBI is concerned there appears to be no conceivable jurisdiction for us to congac t 6 any inquiries upon receipt of information relating to a UF sighting and, in the absence of some investigative jurisdiction based upon the information furnished, that information would be referred to the Department of the Air Force without any action }\being taken by the Bureau. He thanked me for the information and stated that if ‘ any further contact was necessary he would call back. \ ACTION : ogi* U3 gers in fh. 4 . $6 None. For information. 1977 ——— APPROVED: Adm.
