Congressman Bart Gordon has asked NASA to respond to your recent letter to him
wherein you enclosed an article on Congress funding the search for extraterrestrials.
Enclosed is a fact sheet entitled "The US Government and Unidentified Flying Objects."
As stated in the second paragraph of the Fact Sheet, Congress, in 1993, directed
NASA to end its search program.
Today the search for extraterrestrials is conducted through The Search for
Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI Institute) in Mountain View, CA.
We appreciate your interest in this matter and trust this information will be useful
to you.
Sincerely,
I.
