In any case, press releases and public relations would have to be handled in an extremely skillful manner.

Dr. Caccioppo commented that any requirement for increased resources to study the UFO problem might cause DIA to recommend cancellation of the whole UFO project in their next report review.

From my rough notes I rather that the Committee finally decided to recommend that the Air Force form teams at universities located strategically around the country. These teams would work closely with the local Air Force representative from the nearest Air Force Base to investigate UFOs. The Group would investigate only those UFOs sightings that do not lend themselves to rapid and positive identification. The teams would be made up of at least one psychologist, who has had interview experience, and one or more physical scientists (astronomers, physicists, etc.).
