Extraterrestrial Politics in the Clinton White House Part 6 : Hillary'
s Involvement

"A poll reveals that almost half of all Americans think the government
is hiding evidence of UFOs from the public. The other half thinks that
the evidence of UFOs existed, but it was "misplaced" by Hillary
Clinton." One of the many Clinton jokes that circulated on the
Internet

"We'll have a woman President by 2010." Hillary Clinton during the
1992 campaign.

" A young girl interested in public service can be told with a
straight face that she too could grow up to be president."
-Hilla
ry Rodham Clinton




A review of the nearly 1,000 pages of UFO files from OSTP have
revealed that yet another powerful member of the Clinton White House
was involved in the UFO briefings, and also in the actual attempt to
bring the issue to President Clinton. That person, whose name appears
more than once in the OSTP documents, was the President's wife Hillary
Clinton.

Hillary's UFO involvement may have come simply from the fact that she
played a strong role in many of the Clinton White House decisions.
Hillary, in fact liked to quote people who referred to her and Bill in
the White House as getting two for the price of one, a blue-light
special. Hillary did not hide the fact that she liked the
co-presidency idea.

The President asked Hillary's opinion on almost every issue. She was
so much a part of the President's decisions that Washington Post
reporter Bob Woodward commented, "I'd go as far as to say she's part
of Bill Clinton's brain." It was reported that Hillary usually had
more to say in staff meetings than the President, and she wasn't
afraid to say what she had on her mind.

Chief pollster and strategist Dick Morris, the President's key
pollster and strategist, stated in an interview with Peter Jennings
that Hillary "had tremendous power, and was a crucial element in the
White House in '93 and '94." In fact when asked, Morris agreed with
the rumor that Hillary "was the power behind the throne."

Morris concluded, in fact, that Hillary was being viewed so strongly
in the public, she was making the President look "weak, wishy-washy,
and ineffective." When the democrats lost seats in the 1994 mid-term
elections, Morris advised the President "that Hillary withdraw from
overt participation in White House staff meetings and politics, so
that the impression of a secret hidden power not sap her husband's
image and undermine perceptions of his strength."

Hillary was not a typical First Lady. She had, for example, more
senior aides on her staff than the Vice-President. She requested the
office of the Vice-president, and although she did not get it she did
it, she did become the only First Lady in history to have an office in
the West Wing. Not only was she the only First Lady to have an office
there, she was the first to have an office there for her chief of
staff as well. The two offices were not only in the West Wing, they
were office spaces reserved for the senior executives. This created a
situation where Dee Dee Myers, the President's Press Secretary, was
relegated to a small corner office.

Hillary was one of the six key people who sat around a table in Little
Rock during the transition, and picked the key people for top White
House jobs. Those sitting on the transition team stated, "she knows
more about this than most of us do." Discussions took place during
this time about actually giving Hillary a title in the new
Administration. One of the titles considered was the President's Chief
of Staff, a position Hillary had wanted.

For this and her other independent actions, Hillary was often
described in unflattering terms. "The American Spectator," for
example, described Hillary as "the Lady Macbeth of Little Rock:
consuming ambition, inflexibility of purpose, domination of pliable
husband, and an unsettling lack of tender human feeling, along with
the affluent contempt for traditional female roles."Sara Polk, a third
First Lady with Hillary like personal traits, was also accused of
"ruling her husband and influencing his political decisions." First
Lady Sara, in fact, was so involved in her role as her husband's
advisor that it got her in hot water with female guests to the White
House. They would find themselves standing alone following official
functions. Sara, their host, would be off in the other room discussing
politics with their husbands.

Not only was Hillary's strong presence inside the white House an asset
to being in on UFO discussions, but she held a long time interest in
space. She had, after all, decided at fourteen that she might like to
be an astronaut. This desire led her to write a letter to NASA to
obtain information on what steps she should take to achieve her dream.
What she received back "infuriated" her. She was told NASA was not
taking any female astronauts.

As well as space, Hillary also exhibited a strong liking for items of
the paranormal like UFOs. It was an interest she shared with her
husband, as well as many past Presidents and first ladies in history.

It now appears that Rockefeller might have been aware of Hillary's
interest in the UFO subject. Rockefeller had after all known the
Clintons prior to their election, and had contributed to their
campaign. His brother Winthrop had like Bill Clinton been Governor of
Arkansas.

William Laparl had stated that it was the scuttlebutt in high levels
of government and in the CIA that both the Clintons were somewhat
interested in Ufology prior to being elected. "She was particularly
interested at one point," said Laparl, "and she was asking a lot of
questions."

When I mentioned to Laparl that some researchers did not believe
Hillary was in the loop, Laparl went one step further. "She was almost
an equal mover with him on this," Laparl said. "I would not give him
any more weight at all on this UFO thing. If anything she may have
slightly been pushing it more than he was. That's the way I read the
situation."

Dick Farley, who was part the Rockefeller team that was providing UFO
material to Dr. Gibbons and his staff, is one of those that doubts
Hillary's involvement. This belief is based partly on fact that Scott
Jones had told Farley that Hillary was not in the loop.

Farley, however, publicly wrote of an incident that seems to
contradict the "unknowing Hillary" theory. In an article Farley posted
to the Internet he reported that on February 4, 1994, following the
second briefing of the President's Science Advisor, "Laurance, Henry
(Diamond) and Scott (Jones) visited the First Lady's office and met
briefly with her assistant (Chief of Staff Maggie Williams)." Such a
meeting in the West Wing clearly appeared to illustrate that Hillary's
role in the Clinton White House's handling of the UFO situation, was
one that started almost at the beginning of the Clinton
administration. It at least indicates that Rockefeller thought it
important enough to make his way over to Hillary's office in the West
Wing of the White House to talk UFOs.

Paranormal First Ladies

The idea that a First Lady might have an interest in UFOs goes all the
way back to Mrs. Betty Ford. During 1966 Gerald Ford's made
congressional requests for an investigation into UFO sightings that
were occurring in his home state of Michigan. It was rumored, however,
that it was his wife Betty who had the interest in the UFO subject.
Her congressman husband, as the story goes, was only following her
direction in asking for an investigation.

Nancy Reagan continued the First Lady trend with her strong interest
in UFOs as well as in other areas of the paranormal. Both of her
interests were shared by President Reagan. Nancy was present for
Ronald Reagan's first reported UFO sighting prior to attending a
dinner party in California. When Reagan had his second sighting, he
reported it to Nancy as soon as he arrived home. According to Norman
C. Millar, to whom Reagan told the story, Ronald and Nancy Reagan had
done personal research on UFOs following the sighting. This research
had uncovered many things, including the fact that there were
references to UFOs in Egyptian history.

Although Ronald and Nancy Reagan have been written up by many
historians as not always in touch with reality, the fact is that many
first families who had occupied 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, were also
according to available records, quite interested in things of the
paranormal. A quick review shows that it was not unusual at all to
find a First Lady or president with an interest in ghost, séances, or
UFOs. Consider for example:

The wife of President Abraham Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, hosted as
many as eight séances in the White House. President Lincoln, himself,
attended at least one of these séances held in the White House on
April 23, 1863. Much of Mary Todd's interest in spiritualism centered
around efforts to communicate with her son Willie who in 1862 died in
what is now known as the Lincoln bedroom. Mrs. Lincoln claimed
success. "Willie lives," said Mrs. Lincoln, "he comes to me every
night and stands at the foot of the bed with the same sweet adorable
smile he always has had."
President Theodore Roosevelt claimed that he felt the presence of
Lincoln in the Lincoln bedroom. He was rumored to have kept his
"astrological chart mounted on a chess board, and was said to consult
it at crucial moments in his presidency."
Eleanor Roosevelt said of the Lincoln ghost, "Sometimes when I worked
at my desk late at night I'd get a feeling that someone was standing
behind me. I'd have to turn around and look."
Jimmy Carter and his wife believed that a house he lived in from 1955
to 1961 was haunted. Carter's daughter held sleeps over in the White
House where the young girls waited for Lincoln's ghost to appear. In
addition to ghosts, President Carter believed that on January 6, 1969
he witnessed a UFO for ten minutes while waiting for a meeting to
begin in a small Georgia town.
First ladies and Presidents who claimed to have seen or sensed
Lincoln's ghost in the White House include, Grace Coolidge, Theodore
Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower,
Jacqueline Kennedy, and Ladybird Johnson.
Nancy and Ronald Reagan both claimed to have experienced the Lincoln
ghost. Reagan, to the dismay of his staff even referred to Lincoln's
ghost in his speeches.
Both James Garfield and Abraham Lincoln believed they had
premonitions that they would be assassinated. Truman believed that he
had a premonition in a dream of Roosevelt's death just before the
President died.
Most of the decisions in the Reagan White House (especially after the
assassination attempt) took place only after they were approved by
Nancy Reagan's California astrologer.
Mamie and Dwight Eisenhower fought a rumor that they were bringing
psychic Jean Dixon into the White House for advice.
Other first ladies who were interested in visionaries, psychics,
mediums, astrologers, and human potential advocates included the wives
of Ulysses S. Grant, John Tyler, Woodrow Wilson, and Warren G.
Harding.

The fact then that OSTP files hint that Hillary Clinton continued the
trend of interest in UFOs by first ladies should come as no surprise.
These OSTP references, along with other public UFO statements, show
that Hillary led all First Ladies in her strong interest in UFOs and
other paranormal areas of study.

Hillary had a good sense of humor about her rumored interest and
involvement in the world of UFOs. In June 1997, the Weekly World News
tabloid ran a ridiculous story that there had been a crash of a UFO in
Arkansas. Hillary, it declared had adopted an alien baby that had
survived the crash, and the Secret Service was rushing to build a
special nursery in the White House. When asked about this humorous
tabloid tale Hillary was rumored to have said, " If the alien baby
comes, we're ready and looking forward to it . . . I've always wanted
a sibling for Chelsea."







At times Hillary's interest in UFOs appeared to be one of quiet
support or curiosity. In May 1995 Hillary was asked to present a
lecture at a conference, sponsored by Hillary's friend Laurance
Rockefeller, which dealt with the impact of possible future
extraterrestrial contact. Patti Solis, Director of Scheduling for the
First Lady wrote, "Mrs. Clinton's official schedule will not permit
her to accept the invitation." Hillary may have been interested in
UFOs, but a public speech on the topic was a bit too much of an
"outing."

The Clintons Get Briefed

The month of August is a hot steamy month in the nations capitol. It
is the usual time for the President to escape the heat of the city and
the heat of the many congressional skirmishes.

The month of August 1995 would be hotter than most Presidential
Augusts in history. As well as ultimately being the month when the
first family would get a briefing on UFOs from Laurance Rockefeller,
it was the month of Monica Lewinsky. It would be the start of the end
of the Clinton presidency.

Monica Lewinsky had worked at the White House, first as an intern, and
then as an employee, from July 1995 to April 1996. The month of August
1995, was the month that Monica Lewinsky characterized to
investigators as the month when she began "intense flirting" with the
President.

On August 10th, Monica appeared in a green dress and flirted with the
President at a birthday party that was being held for Bill Clinton by
staff in the White House. On August 14, at a departure ceremony for
the departing President, Monica was again there to wish the President
good-bye. Days later, the President would be at the Rockefeller Ranch
in Wyoming listening to a pitch for the reality of visiting
extraterrestrials.

The first clear indication that Hillary was to play an active role in
the UFO policy inside the Clinton White House came when a story was
published by the New York Post that Bill and Hillary Clinton had been
briefed on the UFO subject, in August 1995, while the first family was
on vacation at the Rockefeller Teton Ranch outside of Jackson Hole,
Wyoming.

This briefing was not done by the CIA or any other government agency.
It was done by the then 85-year-old billionaire philanthropist and
Clinton friend Laurance Rockefeller. With both Clintons in attendance,
he presented an oral briefing designed to present the best evidence
for UFOs, and his reasoning why all UFO documents should be
declassified.

The UFO briefing was done during the Clintons' scheduled seventeen day
holiday. The Clintons were staying at the 8000 sq. ft. Villa (known as
the JY ranch) of Laurance's nephew West Virginia Senator John D.
Rockefeller located at the south end of the Teton National Park.

As reported by Dick Farley, the CIA had attempted to "shield" Clinton
from the people like Rockefeller and Greer who were trying to
enlighten the President about UFOs. For that reason Rockefeller chose
to do the briefing away from the White House where the CIA would have
less control, and less ability to block his UFO efforts. The Wyoming
vacation presented the prime opportunity as few of Clinton's top
people were at the ranch during the vacation period. The only one
known to have been there was Erskine Bowles who arrived the morning of
the briefing. Even press secretary Mike McCurry was on holidays. The
assistant press secretary Ginny Terzano was holding down the fort.

The UFO briefing occurred due to a combination of Rockefeller's power
and determination to bring the problem of UFO secrecy to the
President. It was also aided by the President's interest in UFOs and
frustration at not being able to find out what was going on. The
President was ready to hear the story and Rockefeller was ready to
tell it. It would be the first of what Richard Farley called "several
direct contacts" between Rockefeller and Clinton away from the White
House.

Moreover, Rockefeller had become tired at what he considered the
continued cover-up surrounding UFOs, and the effort by those
surrounding Clinton to shield the President from his UFO Initiative.
Rockefeller's was determined to play hardball to get the ear of the
President. This was evidenced by a pressure tactic that the White
House handlers learned about just prior to the UFO briefing given to
Bill and Hillary in Wyoming.

During the first UFO briefing given to Clinton's Science Advisor in
March 1993, Laurance Rockefeller had discussed the possibility of a
public campaign in major U.S. newspapers to "encourage the President
to change the policy of secrecy silence and disinformation he
inherited concerning the UFO phenomena."

As Rockefeller's campaign for Disclosure proceeded, Rockefeller held
back on using the intensive pressure he had warned about in the first
briefing with Clinton's Science Advisor. At a private meeting in
Georgetown in late 1993, Dr. Steven Greer questioned Rockefeller about
why he wasn't "intensifying the pressure." Rockefeller responded that
he was limited because the rest of the Rockefeller family was not in
favor of what he was doing.

In August 1995, as Rockefeller was preparing his briefing for
President Clinton things had changed. The soft sell approach was not
working. Rockefeller decided to tighten the screws to let others
(those blocking his UFO Initiative in the CIA and White House) know he
meant business.

It may have been this pressure that finally led to the White House
handlers to allow the Rockefeller UFO show and tell session. In one of
the documents found in Clinton OSTP files there is a letter where C.B.
Scott Jones outlined the threat to Clinton's Science Advisor.

"Several layouts of full page ads have been drafted. One that I like
is attached to this letter. Timing of such a media strategy depends
upon what the White House does or does not do. If needed, it certainly
would not be delayed much before the presidential campaign media blitz
starts."

Attached to the letter Jones attached one of the proposed ads that
Rockefeller was proposing to place in The News York Times, Washington
Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and others.





Mr. President

On the subject of UFO Phenomena -

What Do You Know. When Did You Learn It?

Have you Shared it With Congress?

When Will You Talk To The American People About It?

The Subject is as Important as any We Will

Ever Face. Don't try to go it Alone.

This Information Belongs to the World.



Although some around President Clinton seemed determined to exclude
UFOs from the presidential list of "things to do," Clinton himself,
had always exhibited a strong interest in the subject of UFOs.

In many of his public speeches he mentioned UFOs or joked about them.
One example was when he commented quite positively over the 1996 alien
invasion movie "Independence Day." The movie had been screened for
Bill and Hillary Clinton in the White House on July 6 by Bill Pullman
who played the president in the movie, along with director Roland
Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin.

Not only did he talk openly about the movie with reporter Tom Brokaw,
he even found a moral in the fictional alien story of aliens attacking
the earth. That moral Clinton attached to his comment was exactly the
same one former President Reagan had attached to his alien invasion
comments made between 1985 and 1987.

"I loved it. I loved it and --Mr. Pullman came and showed it. I
thought he made a good president. And we watched the movie together,
and I told him after it was over he was a good president, and I was
glad we won. And it made me wonder if I should take flying lessons..
..The good thing about Independence Day is there's an ultimate lesson
for that -- for the problems right here on Earth. We whipped that
problem by working together with all these countries. And all of a
sudden the differences we had with them seemed so small once we
realized there were threats that went beyond our borders. And I wish
that we could think about that when we deal with terrorism and when we
deal with weapons proliferation -- the difference between all these
others problems. That's the lesson I wish people would take away from
Independence Day. "

Clinton's UFO interest would have meant that he fully welcomed
Rockefeller's UFO briefing as part of his vacation. It was a matter of
action and policy which Clinton loved, even on holidays. Holidays were
things that Clinton hated. Vacation represented inaction and being cut
off from the people. He usually didn't sleep well on holidays, and was
usually in a bad mood.

Nothing, however, was put out by the White House Press Office which
indicated UFOs were on the vacation agenda. This was undoubtedly
because it was not an item high in the polls, and the possible damage
that might occur by announcing the meeting could not be justified by
the few votes that might be gained.

The press did not make any mention of the UFO briefing, perhaps
because they were sidetracked by another story that had run in the
local paper. Rumors circulated among the reporters, the day after
Clinton arrived at the Rockefeller Ranch, that Barbra Streisand was in
Jackson Hole, and might have had supper with the President.

Such as story was an addictive high for reporters. Streisand had
stayed over night at the White House in 1993, at the same time that
Hillary at been at her father's deathbed in Little Rock. When she
returned home, Hillary had reportedly banned Streisand from the White
House when she was out of town. The possibility that Clinton and
Streisand had dined together was the main story at the August 18, 1995
news conference.

What might not be known in the public mind is that even the President'
s vacation is part of the constant search for votes. In August 1995
Clinton was behind in the polls to Bob Dole, and every public move on
the vacation was carefully orchestrated to attract votes. He was
encouraged, for example, not to hunt because Dole already had these
voters. The same went for golfing which greatly upset Clinton. Items
such as baseball, hiking, and camping were identified as swing voter
areas of interest. It then comes as no surprise to see that Bill and
Hillary went hiking and camping during the vacation. Clinton,
frustrated at the idea golfers would be for Dole, asked if golfing
would be OK if he wore a baseball hat.

The President's statement to the press was that he intended to rest,
and play some golf. The assistant Press Secretary stated nothing more
than "I think you can expect them to go out and have fun. It's a
vacation."

Behind the scenes, however, the planned UFO briefing had been ready
for weeks. Dr. Steven Greer was one of the people who had provided
Rockefeller with material that would be used in the briefing. Days
before Clinton left for his vacation Greer wrote James Dorskind,
Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Presidential
Correspondence, informing him that he and his group would be available
to help with the Presidential UFO briefing should there be problems.

"At Mr. Rockefeller's request, I have conveyed to him a package of
evidence, assessments and other documents to share with the President.
Please know that I am available to answer any questions regarding this
evidence or the subject in general, and I am willing to come to the YK
Ranch on very short notice, should this be helpful to the President or
his staff. Be assured that our entire network of scientists,
astronauts and researchers are at your service."

Clinton's Science Advisor, Jack Gibbons, wrote a memorandum to
President Clinton attempting to prepare the President for the
Rockefeller briefing. He titled it "Inquiry from Laurance
Rockefeller." It was a memo in which Gibbons indirectly tried to tell
the President that the briefing would be a waste of time. He wrote
that he and his staff had already been down the UFO road with
Rockefeller and that there was no evidence to support Rockefeller's
concerns. He wrote,

"You will probably see Mr. Rockefeller on your vacation in the Tetons.
He will want to talk to you about his interests in extrasensory
perception, paranormal phenomena, and UFOs. His interests are related
to those of Senator Pell."

"A second rubric for Rockefeller's interest is what is called 'human
potential' research. The extreme examples usually involve
precognition, super-human strength, endurance in life saving roles,
telepathy, and others. Senator Pell and others have supported the
funding of research in social science to focus more on these
phenomena."

When the UFO briefing actually took place is not certain, but it
occurred before or after the 49th birthday party given for the
President at the home of World Bank President James Wolfensohn near
the Rockefeller Ranch, on the evening of the August 19.

Some like C. B. Scott Jones, who had been involved with Rockefeller in
the first UFO briefing given to a member of the Clinton
administration, was not too certain that the White House would ever
let the briefing take place. On August 23, 1995, he wrote to Jack
Gibbons trying to find out what had happened.

"Mr. Rockefeller was a guest at the President's birthday party a few
days ago in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I hope he had an opportunity to
talk to the President about this subject. It would be comforting to
know for sure that the President is not being shielded by the White
House staff on this subject."

As Dr. Greer had been providing material for the briefing, and was
corresponding with Dorskind at the White House, this author asked
Greer at the 2000 Spring Laughlin World UFO Congress what the
President's reaction had been to the Rockefeller presentation. Greer
stated

"Bill Clinton's reaction was that he had asked Webster Hubbell to look
into this. Webster Hubbell asked NORAD, and asked if there was
anything to it. They said no. . .Clinton was not in put into the loop
contrary to what you might have heard on this, and Carter was largely
left out. He knew a little, but he was not allowed to really get
briefed. Reagan knew more, and Bush knew more."



Note: Information received recently indicates that Clinton may not
have been briefed after all despite all the information pointing to a
briefing at the Rockefeller ranch.

Marie Galbraith, who was very close to Rockefeller, and who directed
the writing of the 'Rockefeller report" on UFOs, indicated to Antonio
Huneeus that Bill Clinton was not at the briefing. The only one
present for the briefing was Hillary. Her claim was that the story had
been driven by Michael Luckman article which he published despite
being told Bill Clinton had not attended the UFO discussion.

Secondly, it should be noted that no matter what happened it was not a
"briefing" in the classic government sense. An official briefing is
never done on a one-on-one basis. This technical point also holds true
for the Greer-Woosley encounter in December 1993 which was also
described by many accounts as a briefing.

In addition to Hillary being included in the Rockefeller briefing
given to Bill Clinton during the 1995 vacation, the Clinton OSTP files
give another hint at the key involvement by Hillary in the Rockefeller
UFO Initiative.

As mentioned before, for a period of three years Rockefeller worked on
a letter to be sent to the President on the UFO subject. Although not
explicitly stated in the OSTP files, it appeared that Rockefeller had
been discouraged from sending the letter to the President it by Jack
Gibbons.

On November 1, 1995, Rockefeller's lawyer Henry L. Diamond sent Jack
Gibbons the latest version of Rockefeller letter to the President. As
had happened before Diamond proposed that it was time the President
saw the letter. "Laurance thinks," wrote Diamond, "it is perhaps
timely to send a letter to the President."

More important than the fact that Rockefeller was again threatening a
direct UFO letter to the President, is the fact that Diamond announced
to Gibbons the identity of the person who had helped in the drafting
of the Presidential letter. The people helping Rockefeller with the
UFO letter were none other than Hillary Clinton and her staff.

"Attached are," wrote Diamond, "a draft letter to the President which
Laurance has been discussing with Mrs. Clinton and her staff." The
draft of the Hillary aided November 1995 letter to the President read
as follows:

Draft

Dear President Clinton,

Re: Lifting Secrecy on Information About

Extraterrestrial Intelligence as Part

of the Current Classification review

For some time in connection with my concern for human values, I have
been interested in the enhancement of spirituality and holistic
healing as well as the development of a new paradigm of consciousness.
This involves an appreciation of the close relationship between
science and religion and the wisdom of approaching them together
rather than separately.

As result of extensive conversations with researchers in these areas,
as well as my own informal study, I have come to believe that the
question of life elsewhere in the cosmos is of paramount importance.
Your initiative in bringing greater openness to government through the
current review of the classification of government documents to
eliminate unnecessary secrecy, offers an extraordinary opportunity to
advance our knowledge of this question.

This letter is to request, that, as part of this reassessment, you
personally and specifically direct a review of current government
information policy concerning Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI),
including Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). It is widely believed
that various information concerning the existence of non - existence
of UFOs, and that it has been unnecessarily withheld from the public
as classified for reasons of national security. If this information
were released, it would be received as evidence of a new spirit of
partnership between government and its citizens.

The current classification review is a good step. However, Mr.
President, from past experience there is every reason to believe that
without your personal initiative available information of ETI and UFOs
will not be released in a meaningful way. This is to urge you to
expand and accelerate the important movement towards openness you have
initiated. We would like to suggest the following steps:

1. Direct that information about ETI and UFOs be given priority in the
current classification review.

2. Appoint a coordinator for government information about ETI and UFOs
to bring together information from all federal agencies involved, such
as the Department of Defense, the Air Force, NASA, the CIA and other
parts of the intelligence community. Your Science Advisor, Jack
Gibbons, might well be the right person for this role.

3. Make it known through federal agencies, such as those named above,
that anyone having information about ETI or UFOs will be granted
amnesty from relevant oaths or other government constraints.

These steps, I respectfully suggest, would further not only be the
cause of scientific inquiry and knowledge, but also that of public
confidence in government and international good will. The timing is
particularly propitious because, as our first post-Cold war President,
you have an opportunity to take this important step without many of
the national security constraints that have limited government candor
with the American people in the past.

As an interested and concerned citizen, I stand ready to assist in
whatever I can do that you might find useful.

Sincerely

Laurance S. Rockefeller

A February 5, 1996-letter from Rockefeller to Clinton's Science
Advisor gave further indication about just how involved Hillary was in
the UFO process. This process involved getting the critical UFO
information to the President, so he in turn could initiate UFO
disclosure. As a part of this effort to gather information, Science
Advisor Gibbons had offered to "approach the Air Force, the Central
Intelligence Agency and NASA on this project." The information
gathered would be presented to Rockefeller, and if need be the
President. In addition Rockefeller wrote of the effort to gather UFO
information from the various agencies, "You indicated that you will
keep the First Lady's Office informed, and we shall as well."

Further details about Hillary Clinton's connection to the White House
UFO Initiative came from Dan Smith. Smith is a researcher and was a
regular contact of CIA scientist Dr. Ronald Pandolfi. Pandolfi, as
mentioned before, was the CIA agent called in by the Clinton White
House to provide information on UFOs when Rockefeller made his first
approach to the White House.. Smith spoke of Pandolfi's UFO role in
the White House, and his ties to Hillary.

"Ron's job relative to the Clintons was to prevent Hillary from trying
to find out who Jim Woolsey's (CIA Director) sources were, since they
would have had to know the real story in order explain to Jim why
George Bush, Sr. should not be given the content of it. Hillary was
trying and is still trying to get back to the horse's mouth. Exactly
what her motives are, are not clear to me."

The final connection between Hillary and the Rockefeller UFO
Initiative is also the strangest. In 1996 and 1997 Hillary took a lot
of negative press about her new age occult leaning. She was tied to
new age writer Marianne Williamson, who some described as a "Jewish
charismatic spiritualist,"and yogi to the stars Ken Scott Nateshvar.

Then a couple months after Hillary helped edit the Rockefeller UFO
letter to the President, Hillary's name became tied to the Director of
the Foundation for Mind Research Jean Houston. Houston was described
by some as a "New Age" author who "studied psychic experiences and
mystical connections to historical figures and other worlds." When the
story of the Houston connection became public Houston became known as
Hillary Clinton's "Eleanor Roosevelt Conduit."

According to a book "The Choice" by Bob Woodward, Hillary met from
late 1994 till March 1996 with Houston. In the Woodward account,
Houston led the First Lady through "imaginary conversations" with her
hero Eleanor Roosevelt and also with Mahatma Ghandi. Hillary turned
down Houston's suggestion she talk with Jesus.

Houston was one of a group of New Age style authors who were invited
to Camp David on the last weekend of 1994 to help Bill and Hillary
work through "the traumas of their first two years in Washington." As
well as spending a weekend at Camp David, Houston spent the night at
the White House on a number of occasions.

Hillary found the advise of Jean Houston to be the most meaningful of
the group of new Age advisors. Maggie Williams, Hillary's Chief of
Staff during the first term, "came to speak of Hillary's mood
brightening on the days when she got her 'Jean fix.'"

When the story broke Hillary Clinton's office put out a statement
denying that the First Lady was participating in a seance. Houston
herself, put out a statement that she was not a psychic. The sessions
with Roosevelt and Ghandi were described as "brainstorming" sessions
"visualizing" what Eleanor Roosevelt "might have said." The statement
read in part,

"While I have had a number of conversations with Jean Houston, it is
not true that she is my spiritual advisor. . .During the hours of
free-wheeling discussion, Jean Houston suggested that I imagine a
conversation with Eleanor Roosevelt, who grappled with the difficult
social issues of her day. This was an interesting intellectual
exercise to help spark my own thoughts; it was a brainstorming session
for my book - - not a spiritual event. . . And I do wonder what
Eleanor Roosevelt might think of all this."

Despite the denial, Hillary's actions kept people wondering just how
imaginary Hillary was viewing her Eleanor Roosevelt connection. Twice
in the second term of her husband's administration, Hillary made a
pilgrimage to Eleanor's cottage home that had been restored in Hyde
Park, New York. During the second visit, Hillary spoke of the
controversial conversations with Eleanor. "I meant it as a metaphor,
but it became, yet again, one of those things people all talked about,
I guess sort of suggesting I really had gone off the deep end." She
ended her speech to the staff at the home with a smile, "The next time
I talk to her, I will tell her all about what you are doing."

The second visit to the Roosevelt home came during Hillary's run for
the New York senate seat. Perhaps, not surprisingly, years earlier
Eleanor Roosevelt had also been offered a chance to run for the Senate
in New York. She turned down the opportunity. Eleanor's offer had come
from top aide to President Franklin Roosevelt, Harold L. Ickes. When
Hillary Clinton decided to run, who did she pick as her top political
advisor for the campaign? None other than Harold L. Ickes son, Harold
M. Ickes.

Not surprisingly, the press immediately started the make comparisons
between Hillary and former First Lady Nancy Reagan who paid $3,000 a
month to an astrologer for guiding her husband to run the country.
Neil Lattimore, Hillary's Chief of staff immediately moved to end that
connection,

"If you want to compare Mrs. Clinton to Nancy Reagan, the only person
Mrs. Clinton has been channeling is her TV, and I can assure you she
was not tuned into the Psychic Friends. . .this is not a mystic. This
is not channeling."

The importance of Jean Houston's role in the UFO picture came in a fax
sent from Rockefeller's lawyer, Henry Diamond, to Jack Gibbons dated
June 6, 1996. This was the same time frame when Hillary and Jean
Houston were meeting to talk to Eleanor Roosevelt, and the same time
frame when Rockefeller was meeting with Hillary to discuss his UFO
strategy.

The fax sent by Diamond was a confirmation that Diamond, Laurance
Rockefeller, and Laurance's senior person in New York, Wes Frye, would
be meeting with Gibbons the next day- June 7. In the fax Diamond
thanked Gibbons for the meeting, and told the President's Science
Advisor that the subject Rockefeller wanted to discuss during the
meeting was Hillary's friend Jean Houston. Attached to the fax was an
earlier letter from Houston to Rockefeller outlining her views on UFOs
and Rockefeller's effort to effect disclosure UFO disclosure in the
White House.

"Thank-you for sending me the documentation concerning Unidentified
Flying Objects. . .It has long been our position that the truth of
this matter should be made known. Our feeling is that the likely
effects would be more positive than negative. . .So, Mr. Rockefeller,
we congratulate you on your part in making this very formidable and
readable presentation of a very important subject. How does one go
about using it to break through decades of stonewalling and denial and
get the veil lifted? We would certainly be pleased to play a part in
bringing about that end. Let me invite you to come and visit us and we
would certainly look forward to discussing the UFO problem as well as
other matters of mutual interest."

The Houston to Rockefeller letter was dated March 18, 1996. Houston
invited Rockefeller to meet with her at her home just outside of New
York in April. The meeting

undoubtable took place and by June Rockefeller thought Jean Houston
important enough to arrange a special meeting in Washington with
Gibbons. Hillary's input and UFO connection to Houston during this
critical period have not yet been made public. The two were, according
to Hillary, meeting on a number of occasions during this period.

The prominent role of Hillary in the Rockefeller UFO Initiative should
not come as any surprise when all her public actions regarding the UFO
subject are viewed. Hillary time and again spoke of UFOs, UFO
sightings, and the concept of the "alien invasion," in her speeches,
and in her statements to the press.

As far back as Bill Clinton's campaign to win the nomination for the
Democratic party in 1992, Hillary was already talking publically about
UFOs. In reply to the womanizing accusations being raised in the media
associated with Jennifer Flowers, the Washington Post said this of
Hillary:

"Hillary Clinton was key in helping Clinton, then campaigning for the
Democratic nomination, fending off Flower's allegations, calling them
as "trash for cash" and likening the rumors about Clinton's sex life
to UFO sightings."

There were many references to UFOs in Hillary Clinton's speeches. A
prime example was April 1997, during the days when Steven Greer was in
Washington doing a special UFO briefing for members of Congress.
Hillary appeared on the local Washington Diane Rehm show, where she
was asked about the story that she had approved hush money payments to
Webster Hubbell, her former partner at the Rose law firm in Little
Rock, and later President Clinton's Attorney General. The hush money
was to stop Hubbell from talking about his and Hillary's role in
Whitewater, according to the rumor circulating in the press.

In her reply Hillary took a direct shot at Congressman Dan Burton who
was known as "a one-stop shop for Clinton haters," and whose committee
had just issued 17 subpoenas, directed at the hiring of Webster
Hubbell by the White House.

Hillary knew that Dan Burton was very interested in UFOs, and that he
had one of his top people at the Greer briefing. Tying together Burton
's strong interest in UFOs and Whitewater, Hillary shot back at
Burton, "That's part of the continuing saga of Whitewater," said
Hillary, "the never-ending fictional conspiracy that honest to
goodness reminds me of some people's obsessions with UFOs and the
Hale-Bopp comet."

A second example of Hillary's UFO talk came on October 13, 1998, at
Spanish Hall, Prague Castle in The Czech Republic. During this speech
Hillary raised the "alien invasion" scenario, a concept first used by
President Reagan, and repeated often by her husband Bill. Hillary
said:

"In one of those popular movies I referred to that swept my country
and apparently made a lot of money around the world, called
Independence Day - these movies always seem to start with an attack on
Washington, D.C., which I don't really know how to take, the blowing
up of the White House and Capitol to begin with-the ending of it
required all of us to cooperate to fend off an alien attack. And
certainly in the theater in which I saw it, there were great cheers as
people of all different races and backgrounds and societies around the
globe came together as human beings to save ourselves. We certainly
don't expect it to come to that . . . "

Again on January 25, 1999, speaking at the White House Hillary said
this, "Most of the movies about the future show aliens descending from
outer space determined to blow up the world, and somehow they always
begin or end with Washington, D.C. (Laughter.)"

Then on June 17, 1999 speaking in Paris, France, Hillary tied the
concept of the "alien invasion" to the making of movies in America.

"In my own country, many of the movies in recent years express our
innate fears about what awaits us. They are apocalyptic visions that
leave only a few people on earth-whole cities surviving under domes
because we have depleted our natural resources. And often in these
movies, for reasons that I question, we have space aliens who are
always blowing up Washington, D.C., and the White House."

Hillary delivered yet another "alien invasion" remark at the Mars
Millennium Project kick-off held at the National Air & Space Museum in
Washington. She spoke of modern movie themes, alien invasion ideas,
and a positive future.

"It's not just that people might live under domes on Mars, but they
would have to live under domes here on this planet because of what we
will have done to our environment. Or whether we will have to join
together as human beings to stave off attacks from aliens in outer
space, and then we'll have to put aside our really petty
differences-differences in our own country and differences among
people around the world-to stand up for our common humanity."

Even during Hillary's campaign for Senator in New York, the subject of
aliens was not far from the Clinton family mind. In a fund-raising
speech for Hillary's Senate campaign, Clinton President accused New
York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani's party of trying to convince voters
that he and Hillary were space aliens.



"They believe you have to drive people apart in order to win
elections. And since they're wrong on the issues, they're right. In
other words, people won't agree with them on the issues, so the only
way they could win is to convince them that we're the first cousins of
space aliens. (Laughter.) They've got this figured out now; we're
right and they're wrong on these big issues. So the only way they can
win is to convince people that we're space aliens."

As we look together towards the 2004 Presidential election, there is a
possibility of Hillary Clinton running for President. After all,
Hillary has had people asking her to run since she was in high school.
One of the her campaign insiders in her 2000 Senatorial race stated,
"If Gore loses next year, then it's Hillary in 2004."

Asked if she would consider running in the future Hillary said, "We'll
talk later." When President Clinton was asked about the possibility he
stated, "Oh, She'd be great at it, but I don't think she would ever
run - not in a hundred years. She is not interested in being elected
to office and she has always said that publically."

Betsy Wright who had been Bill Clinton's chief of Staff while he was
governor of Arkansas, and also the "bimbo-eruption" firefighter during
the 1992 Presidential campaign, also had an opinion on Hillary's
presidential chances. She was approached by Bill Clinton prior to
running to President to ask her opinion about his possible candidacy.

Knowing that Bill Clinton might have a Gary Hart image problem with
women, Betsy got Bill to write down all the women he had been with and
when. When Bill provided her the list she advised him not to run. She
did, however, encourage Hillary to run thinking she could win.

Considering a Presidential race would not be the first time that
Hillary has thought of succeeding her husband. In 1990, according to
what Webster Hubbell wrote in his 1997 book, Hillary seriously talked
of running to succeed her husband as Arkansas governor when Bill
Clinton seemed bored with the job.

Laurance Rockefeller worked hard to get the gospel of UFOs to Bill and
Hillary Clinton during the two terms of Bill Clinton's presidency. His
efforts had limited success, despite the large amount of effort he put
into it.

In light of this apparent failure, it is interesting to note one
particular event that occurred while Hillary was campaigning for New
York Senator. The event showed that if Hillary became President,
perhaps the work done to reveal the truth about UFOs by Rockefeller
might yet come to fruition under a second Clinton presidency.

The event occurred following a May 4, 2000 speech that Hillary gave at
the Clinton Community College. Among the many people there to hear
Hillary speak was Robert Williams, an instructor at the college.
Williams interest was the anomalies on the Martian surface which

some believe indicate the existence of extraterrestrial life. He came
to the lecture hoping to talk to Hillary about pictures, taken by the
Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft that went into orbit around Mars in
1997. Williams believed that these photos were being withheld by NASA.

Williams was able to get into the presentation line following the
speech. He was wearing a tee-shirt with the famous Mars face on it.
Below the face on the tee-shirt it said,"Face the Facts."

As Hillary shook Robert's hand he said to her, "It is an honorable
pleasure to meet and ask you to help in your present capacity to see
all the Mars images taken by the Global Surveyor spacecraft be
released within the 6 month NASA policy."

Hillary asked, "What's the problem?"

Williams replied, "All images are to be released after 6 months and
NASA and MSSS are not releasing these images as required by their own
rules and contacts. We've lost two spacecraft and I believe the public
has a right to ask NASA to release all the images from the working
spacecraft around Mars in accordance with their own stated policy."

Hillary stated, "No one has ever asked me about Mars before. Give (she
named her assistant) your information and we'll look into it."

Hillary told the assistant to get Williams' information and questions.
She then moved down the reception line. Williams wrote down his
contact information and the message "Release all Mars information
now."

The next day while Williams was doing his normal search of the Mars
Global Surveyor MOC data site. What he found was the first new CDs of
Mars image data in five months.

Less than 36 hours after talking to Hillary Clinton the withheld NASA
images had been released. Williams was firmly convinced that it was
Hillary who had helped to shake the images loose. Perhaps this is a
telling indication that it might be a woman who finally makes the
final disclosure about the extraterrestrials to the world? Time will
tell.
