CIA responds to declassification request

Summary

In 1960, the CIA received a call from the Air Force regarding a report on unidentified flying objects. The Air Force Office of Information contacted several times to confirm the receipt of the response and to retrieve their copy of the CIA report. During these calls, censorship aspects were discussed, such as the removal of references to the CIA and employee names. Coordination between the agencies was key to managing the declassification process carefully.

The communication between the parties was clear and direct, with a focus on maintaining the security of sensitive information. Although the document shows some signs of wear and OCR errors, it reflects a routine process of managing classified information. This type of exchange was common at the time to ensure sensitive data was not inappropriately disclosed.
