SUBJECT: HOAGLAND ON MARS MISSION FILE: UFO1742
Major Political Breakthrough for Intelligence Hypothesis:
Mars Mission Asked to Meet with Chairman of Full Congressional Committee
In a dramatic new political development, research associates and
consultants of "The Mars Mission" were invited Wednesday, April 13, within
days of their initial request, to a face-to-face meeting with the Chairman
of the powerful House Committee on Science, Space and Technology,
Congressman Robert A. Roe (D-New Jersey). The Committee is the Full
Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives (not the sub-Committee,
devoted strictly to space science). Sub-committees report back to full
Committees which, in this case, exercises final authorization for all
proposed Federal funding of scientific research conducted by the Government
of the United States -- including the National Science Foundation, the
National Research Council, and NASA.
Richard C. Hoagland, Dr. Mark Carlotto, Erol Torun and Lois Lindstrom
briefed Congressman Roe and his senior staff assistant, Robert Maitland,
for about an hour in the Congressman's Washington D.C. office, in the
Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill. Detailed in the briefing were both the
remarkable new data supporting the Intelligence Hypothesis (see other
Hoagland Statement), and the apparent political agendas within NASA which
are preventing rapid verification. Also discussed were the major
international geopolitical implications of verification -- in particular,
what the Soviets may know (from Phobos 2) and how to determine their
official interest and intentions.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Congressman Roe requested a written
list of specific recommendations from "The Mars Missio"^B which, if
enacted, would advance verification of the Hypothesis. These
recommendations, in a reproduction of the original Memo, are archived in a
separate entry in this Library (see Roe Memo, Intelligence Hypothesis).
