   Dear Mr.____________:   
      
   I am sorry I have taken so long in answering your letters.   
   However, I have moved my office and have had to make a   
   number of extended trips.   
      
   To answer your last question in your letter of October 14,   
   1983, there is no particular reason I feel I shouldn't or   
   couldn't answer any or all of your questions.  I am delight-   
   ed to answer all of them to the best of my ability.   
      
   You listed some of your questions in your letter of   
   September 12th.  I will attemp to answer them as you had   
   listed them.   
      
   1.  Relating to my own experience regarding re-   
   covered flying saucers, I had no association with any   
   of the people involved in the recovery and have no knowl-   
   edge regarding the dates of the recoveries.  If I had I   
   would send it to you.   
      
   2.  Regarding verification that persons you list were   
   involved, I can only say this:   
      
   John Von Neuman was definitely involved.  Dr. Vannever Bush   
   was definitely involved, and I think Dr. Robert Oppenheimer   
   also.   
      
   My association with the Research and Development Board under   
   Doctor Compton during the Eisenhower administration was   
   rather limited so that although I had been invited to   
   participate in several discussions associated with the re-   
   ported recoveries, I could not personally attend the   
   meetings.  I am sure that they would have asked Dr. Von   
   Braun, and the others that you listed were probably asked and   
   may or may not have attended.  This is all I know for sure.   
      
   3.  I did receive some official reports when I was in my   
   office at the Pentagon but all of these were left there as at   
   the time we were never supposed to take them out of the   
   office.   
      
   4.  I do not recall receiving any photographs such as you   
   request so I am not in a position to answer.   
      
   5.  I have to make the same reply as on No. 4.   
      
   I recall the interview with Dr. Brenner of the Canadian   
   Embassy.  I think the answers I gave him were the ones you   
   listed.  Naturally, I was more  familiar with the subject   
   matter under discussion, at that time.  actually, I would   
   have been able to give more specific answers had I attend-   
   ed the meetings concerning the subject.  You must understand   
   that I took this assignment as a private contribution.  We   
   were called "dollar-a-year men".  My first responsibility was   
   the maintenance of my own business activity so that my   
   participation was limited.   
      
   About the only thing I remember at this time is that certain   
   materials reported to have come from flying saucer crashes   
   were extremely light and very tough.  I am sure our   
   laboratories analyzed them very carefully.   
      
   There were reports that instruments or people operating these   
   machines were also of very light weight, sufficient to   
   withstand the tremendous deceleration and acceleration   
   associated with their machinery.  I remember in talking with   
   some of the people at the office that I got the impression   
   these "aliens" were constructed like certain insects we have   
   observed on earth, wherein because of the low mass the   
   inertial forces involved in operation of these instruments   
   would be quite low.   
      
   I still do not know why the high order of classification has   
   been given and why the denial of the existence of these   
   devices.   
      
   I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I suggest you   
   get in touch with the others who may be directly involved in   
   this program.   
      
                                       Sincerely yours,   
      
                                         (SIGNATURE)   
      
                                       Dr. Robert I. Sarbacher   
      
   P. S.  It occurs to me that Dr. Bush's name is inccorrect   
          as you have it.  Please check the spelling.
