NASA asked how to talk about aliens

This is a 1963 memo from a NASA staff member to the Department of State, sharing personal thoughts on what government policy should be if intelligent life were ever found in space. It is not a report of a UFO sighting at all. It sits in this collection because UFO files often drift from reports of strange objects into the larger question of what we would actually do if contact happened.
