   Operation Right to Know

   WHO ARE WE?

   Operation:   Right  to  Know  is a group  of  citizens  united  by  the
   conviction  that the solution to the UFO "mystery"  lies  in  political
   action.   Private  groups  have done a heroic job for  over  40   years
   documenting  UFO  sightings and trying to educate the public with  very
   limited  resources.  Despite their decades of hard work,  however,  the
   publicis still largely in the dark.

   One  enormous barrier stands in the way of full public disclosure:  The
   U.S. government's 40-year policy of withholding and confusing the facts
   of extraterrestrial contact.  As long as this policy remains unchanged,
   the  truth will never be fully revealed.  We demand full disclosure  of
   government UFO secrets and an open, public inquiry into the phenomenon.
   We charge that the government's policy of tightly restricting UFO data,
   however well-intentioned it originally may have been,  causes far  more
   harm than simply telling the truth.

   Operation:   Right to Know held its first demonstration on March 28  in
   front of the White House,  the first public protest against UFO secrecy
   on record.  We will conduct a much larger "March on Washington"  onJuly
   5, 1993, following the MUFON symposium in nearby Richmond, Virginia.

   Throughout  the year,  we will hold smaller demonstrations at major UFO
   hotspots and secret government research sites, and keep the pressure on
   lawmakers   through  letter  campaigns,   educational  materials,   and
   lobbying.   Grassroots sentiment to compel the government to reveal its
   secret  UFO files has been growing recently.  Most citizens involved in
   the  UFO field are political novices,  but a growing network is gaining
   an  education  in political action.  Our hope is that a highly  visible
   political campaign against UFO secrecy may enlist support from quarters
   that have previously beem silent on the issue.  Popular  demonstrations
   may  also indicate to U.S.  policymakers that the people are ready  for
   the extraordinary news that has been withheld from them.

   We  intend to spark demonstrations in many locales,  organized at first
   by  UFO  enthusiasts,  but eventually involving all citizens  concerned
   about freedom of inquiry and our planet's future.  Operation:  Right to
   Know will provide networking and support for these activities.

   A  bulletin,   The Right to Know Forum,  describing our  activities  is
   available  now,  and will soon develop into a regular  newsletter  with
   exciting news from around the country.  For free copies of past  issues
   of  The  Right to Know Forum,  and further information on how  you  can
   participate in Operation: Right to Know, write to:
