Greer M.D.\n Director of CSETITHS\n RELATED TO THE UFO/EXTRATERRESTRIAL SUBJECT\n \n copyright 1996 Steven M. Greer M.D.\n \n A number of first hand military, intelligence and government-\n associated witnesses to covert projects dealing with UFOs and\n Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) have been identified by CSETI's\n Project Starlight effort. Over the past three years, we have located\n several dozen such potential witnesses as part of a comprehensive\n strategy to collect adequate evidence for a global, definitive\n disclosure on this subject. The story which these important\n government witnesses can tell will make a credible, undeniable\n case for the reality of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial life\n forms in proximity to the earth.\n \n One of the persistent obstacles to this testimony coming out into\n the public arena has been the issue of so-called national security\n oaths and restrictions placed on these witnesses. Some feel that\n they are not free to speak unless 'released' from these national\n security oaths and restrictions, and so we have been working to\n encourage Congress and the White House to take actions which\n would remove these restrictions.\n \n In the summer of 1995, a number of these witnesses gathered at a\n witnesses summit, and we all signed a letter to President Clinton\n asking him to take actions leading to the release of these\n restrictions. While receipt of this letter was acknowledged by a\n special assistant to the President, we still await specific action from\n the executive branch of the US government.\n \n With this said, it is important to visit the question of whether or\n not such national security oaths and restrictions are themselves\n legally valid.\n \n We have compelling witness testimony that the operations dealing\n with this subject currently exist, and have existed for several\n decades, outside of normal governmental projects. Members of the\n Project Starlight Team have met with very senior members of the\n Administration, Congress, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA and\n other relevant government agency operatives. The picture which\n emerges from these discussions is that of an operation dealing with\n UFOs which is functioning outside of the normal channels of\n government, as it is usually considered. Indeed, we have found that\n the most senior levels of the executive branch, Congress, the\n military etc. are totally out of the loop on this extraordinary matter.\n \n This then brings up the sobering question of who is in the loop,\n and under what authorization are such projects operating? It is our\n assessment that for the large part, these operations do not fall under\n any constitutionally sanctioned avenues of authorization, and as\n such are, perforce, illegal.\n \n Aside from the lack of oversight and authorization from the\n executive branch and Congress, these operations have, from time\n to time, engaged in deceptive practices which have frustrated the\n organs of constitutionally legal inquiries and democratic processes.\n Any such operation which behaves in this fashion unilaterally\n removes itself from the inherent legality and protection which\n exists for projects which are consonant with constitutional law.\n \n This being the case (we are eager - nay, desperate- for someone to\n prove otherwise...) all of the so-called 'national security oaths' and\n other 'restrictions' placed on military, intelligence and government\n contract workers are null and void. That is, they appear to have no\n legal validity since the operations for which they were obtained are\n themselves illegal. In a constitutional democracy, it is a basic\n requirement of law that such operations be constitutionally legal,\n and if they are not, then all that flows from them - including such\n 'oaths'- are illegal and therefore non-binding. IF these operations\n are legal, nobody in the Congress, executive branch or senior\n military with whom we have spoken knows of it. The production\n of a single current executive order or congressional directive\n authorizing these projects, which can be independently verified,\n would convince us otherwise.\n \n More than one covert contact has told us that, indeed, any such\n witnesses can and should speak out at the right time and place\n since no legal entity would - or legally could - do anything about\n it. We agree.\n \n Beyond this, it is the legal, moral and patriotic duty of such\n witnesses to come together, and at the highest, best and most\n credible venue possible, speak out in unison regarding the truth on\n this matter. Granted, if only one or two such persons come\n forward, the case will be weak, and the risk will be unacceptable.\n But if ten, twenty or more such witnesses come together, and\n united, resolve to share their information and experiences on this\n subject, then a definitive case will be made , and a great service to\n the world and their country will be fulfilled.\n \n The return of this matter to the legal channels of government and\n the deliberation of the people is one of the great unfulfilled tasks\n of the post cold war era. Over half a decade has elapsed since the\n end of the cold war, and there can no longer be a justification (if\n there ever was) for this type of extraordinary secrecy and covert\n agenda. Both national and world security requires that this matter\n be returned to the world community as soon as possible.\n \n We recommend that men and women of vision, courage and\n dedication join with us in fulfilling this task. Far from being a legal\n violation of 'security oaths', the public testimony by such witnesses\n is a highly moral and legal act. Further, is it not true that the\n continuation of this secrecy itself is illegal and immoral, given the\n inherent unconstitutionality of such programs? Credible witnesses,\n joining together and providing their testimony in a united strategy\n can return this subject to legal oversight and control, and thereby\n enable the people of our country and of the world to begin the\n public deliberations which should have occurred 50 years ago.\n \n 21 October 1996\n Steven M.
