Dear Mr. Bryant:

I am in receipt of your letter dated February 1, 1959. In response to your request, I wish to advise that information in the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is confidential and available for official use only. I know you will understand the reason for this rule and will not infer either that we do or that we do not have the data you desire.

I am at liberty, however, to advise that the investigation of unidentified flying objects is not within the jurisdiction of this Bureau. This matter is of primary interest to the Department of the Air Force and, accordingly, I am sending a copy of your letter to the Director of Special Investigations, The Inspector General, Department of the Air Force, Building Tempo E, 4th and Adams Drive, S. W., Washington, D. C., to whom you may desire to direct further inquiries in this matter.

Sincerely yours,

John Edgar Hoover
Director
