Without the remainder of the memo (we have only an appendix to view) and perhaps other memos or inside information as to the conversation(s) that might have taken place with these individuals, there's no way to say that this was to do with the "study [of] UFOs" as you so kindly put in brackets. It could very well be the "investigation of UFO pranks" that may have been causing some stir in the administration by suggesting that the administration wasn't doing its job in being forthcoming.
You sir are woefully ignorant of the historical record.
I don't blame you only though, most of the debunkers are the same way.
The record is very clear regarding Hoover's comments on that memo.
We most certainly do have the entire memo, and not just an appendix. We also have other memos referencing it, one in particular that provides a good response. Try doing a little basic research next time. I know it's a new concept for you but really, come on.
Here is a scan of the memo, Hoover's comments appear on page two.
Some interesting quotes that clearly establish the legitimacy of the investigation, and not your absurd prank theory, include the following:
General Shulgen indicated to -deleted- that the Air Corps has taken the attitude that every effort must be undertaken in order to run down and ascertain whether or not the flying disks are a fact and, if so, to learn all about them. According to General Shulgen, the Air Corps Intelligence are utilizing all of their scientists in order to ascertain whether or not such a phenomenon could in fact occur. He stated that this research is being conducted with the thought that the flying objects might be a celestial phenomenon and with the view that they might be a foreign body mechanically devised and controlled. (emphasis mine)
After discussing some other theories, later in the memo it says:
General Shulgen indicated to -deleted- that he is desirous of having all the angles covered in this matter.
Later regarding his desire for FBI assistance:
General Shulgen indicated to -deleted- that if the Bureau would cooperate with him in this matter, he would offer all the facilities of his office as to the results obtained in the effort to identify and run down this matter.
<deleted> advised General Shulgen that this request would be made known to the Bureau and and an answer made available to him as soon as possible.
Then we have
this memo dated July 24, 1947. It provides further context for Hoover's remarks, and it is a reply to them.
The second paragraph is the most important in this document. It begins with:
This is to advise that Special Agent -deleted- has recontacted General Shulgen and advised him in connection with the Director's notation [Hoover's comments on the previous memo]. General Shulgen indicated to -deleted- that he desired to assure Mr. Hoover of complete cooperation in this matter and stated that he would issue instructions to the field directing that all cooperation be furnished to the FBI and that all discs recovered be made available for the examination by the FBI agents. General Shulgen pointed out to -deleted- that he will from time to time make the results of the studies of his scientists available to the Bureau for the assistance of the FBI field offices.
This is the context Hoover's remarks appear in. Clearly there can be no misunderstanding here. This was a serious investigation being undertaken by an Army Air Corps General. Hoover responded that he wanted access to disks if any were recovered, like the LA one, whatever that is referring to.
Given this context, the inferred [study UFOs] by moementum7 is perfectly logical in this instance. Meanwhile Skinwalker provides us with yet another example of his total lack of quality information on the history of UFOs.
Oh yeah, I especially like your "
Alleged (emphasis mine) memo from J. Edgar Hoover/Clyde Tolson.
Date alleged: (emphasis mine) 7/10/47."
Now you're going to deny the existence of the memo??!! You're hopeless. Even when we provide you with good evidence, you simply state it isn't valid or accurate. A true skeptibunker.
