I have read the story presently being circulated that I gave the names of Jesse Marcel, Jr. and Timothy Good to Senate aide Richard D'Amato. As I have stated many times, I barely know this man. To my recollection, I haven't given him any names of anybody, except in a couple of cases where I called the person first and asked them if they wanted to talk to him, since he'd expressed an interest in Roswell to me.
This happened back in 1989 or 1990. Since then, I've had little contact with D'Amato. A few phone calls, including a recent one that involved a mixup of no consequence.
To my knowledge, Richard D'Amato is not a major player in the congressional investigation of the UFO cover-up, and I doubt if he knows any more than he's been told by us. I certainly never had the impression that he was in possession of any hidden knowledge, and I don't think that he qualifies as a government source of anything. He is simply another government official who has an interest in the UFO matter.
But there are dozens of such people, ranging from medical personnel to people in the military and the congress.
I wish that you would circulate this letter a little, because it doesn't help us for this man to be identified as some sort of major "source" when he is really not in a position to do much.
