- <HTML><BODY><PRE>EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL EXPOSURE LAW
-
- Already Passed by Congress
-
- On October 5,1982, Dr. Brain T. Clifford of the Pentagon announced at a
- press conference ("The Star", New York, Oct. 5, 1982) that contact
- between U.S., citizens and extra-terrestrials or their vehicles is
- strictly illegal.
-
- According to a law already on the books:
-
- (Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, adopted
- on July 16, 1969, before the Apollo moon shots), anyone guilty of such
- contact automatically becomes a wanted criminal to be jailed for one
- year and fined $5,000. The NASA administrator is empowered to determine
- with or without a hearing that a person or object has been
- "extraterrestrially exposed" and impose an indeterminate quarantine
- under armed guard, which could not be broken even by court order.
- There is no limit placed on the number of individuals who could thus
- be arbitrarily quarantined.
-
- The definition of "extraterrestrial exposure" is left entirely up to
- NASA administrator, who is thus endowed with total dictatorial power to
- be exercised at his slightest caprice, which is completely contrary to
- the Constitution. According to Dr. Clifford, whose commanding
- officers have been assuring the public for the last 39 years that UFO's
- are nothing more than hoaxes and delusions to be dismissed with a
- condescending smile: "This is really no joke, it's a very serious
- matter." This legislation was buried in the 1,211th subsection of the
- 14th section of a batch of regulations very few members of government
- probably bothered to read in its entirety, the proverbial needle in the
- haystack, and was slipped onto the books without public debate.
-
- Thus from one day to the next we learn that, without having informed
- the public, in its infinite wisdom, the government of the United States
- has created a whole new criminal class: UFO contactees. The lame
- excuse offered by NASA as a sugar coating for this bitter pill is that
- extra-terrestrials might have a virus that could wipe out the human
- race. This is certainly one of the many possibilities inherent is such
- contact, but just as certainly not the only one, and in itself not a
- valid reason to make all contact illegal or to declare contactees
- criminals to be jailed and fined immediately.
-
- It appears the primary effect of such a law would not be to prevent
- contact, it would be to silence witnesses. If enforced, the law would
- prevent publication of contactee reports except under cover of
- anonymity, and unleash a modern inquisition in the Land of the Free.
- However, it is unenforceable, so obviously absurd and unfair that the
- public will refuse to accept it. The citizens of the United States will
- greet it with a resounding Bronx cheer and laugh it out of court,
- forcing it to be repealed.
-
- It should be replaced by clearly worded legislation, not open to
- interpretation in a multitude of different ways, humanely relevant to
- the contingency of E.T. contact, debated and passed by Congress openly
- instead of slipped through "under the table" without the public being
- informed. According to NASA spokesman Fletcher Reel, the law as it
- stands is not immediately applicable, but in case of need could quickly
- be made applicable. What this means is that it is ambiguously worded,
- so that it can be interpreted either one way or the other, as the
- government desires.
-
- It is certainly not a coincidence that Dr. Clifford held his press
- conference during the period when the popularity of the film E.T. was
- at its peak. As E.T. portrayed a type of extraterrestrial that was
- benevolent and lovable, the inference is that the press conference was
- intended to discourage attempts to communicate or fraternize with UFO
- occupants. However, instead of having the intended effect, it
- backfired, causing public furor. There may be some relationship between
- this fiasco and the next semi-officially endorsed attempt to deal with
- the subject of extra-terrestrials, the TV film V, which was featured
- with repeat performances and maximum publicity by major networks
- worldwide. The aliens portrayed in V are the most horrifying and
- repulsive nightmares imaginable, who are defeated thanks largely to a
- CIA hit man specializing in covert operations, the tough guy with the
- heart of gold who with the aid of the handsome hero saves the human
- race. This is obvious and transparent propaganda, designed to do what
- the government's widespread use of dis-information, and Dr. Clifford's
- press conference about the absurd lemon of a law already on the books
- failed to do: squelch attempts to communicate or fraternize with UFO
- occupants.
-
- One way to avoid widespread panic at the announcement of the news that
- we are under surveillance by nonhuman intelligent beings with a
- technology far more sophisticated than our own is to point out that
- this situation is nothing new, but has literally been going on for
- millennia.
-
- If the "flying dragons" mentioned in the I Ching intended to attack and
- destroy us, they could easily have carried out this objective long ago.
- Along with this article, the text of the E.T. Law will be presented.
- However, there are several points that I wish to make:
-
- 1211.101 Applicability</B>.
- The provisions of this part apply to all NASA manned and unmanned space
- missions...
- I could dismiss this whole controversy as a tempest in a teacup if the
- above passage contained the word "only", so as to read: "The
- provisions of this part apply only to all NASA manned and unmanned
- space missions..." However, it does not contain that one little word
- which would have made such a big difference. If the government was
- suddenly faced with the accomplished fact of an undeniable overt E.T.
- visitation, this regulation could therefore, be construed as being
- applicable to all space missions, NASA or non NASA, whether of
- terrestrial or extra-terrestrial origin. As it stands, this law is
- applicable to UFO contact. The meaning would have to be stretched,
- but the built-in loophole does exist.
-
- 1211.102 Definitions</B>.
-
- (b) (2): Touched directly or been in close proximity to (or been
- exposed indirectly to )...Even without being involved in a UFO close
- encounter you would become eligible for indefinite quarantine under
- armed guard according to the above. By including indirect exposure, the
- NASA administrator is empowered to make the definition mean just about
- anything he wants it to. An example of indirect exposure is given, but
- an example is not a definition. Unless indirect exposure is defined
- precisely, it can mean almost anything. The possibility is not
- specifically ruled out that other types of indirect exposure than the
- example given might be considered valid grounds to "quarantine" a
- citizen or group of citizens.
-
- In my opinion, it is vital that we challenge the validity of this law,
- for if it is allowed to stand unchallenged, UFO contactees and
- researchers may all meet behind barbed wire and armed guards somewhere
- in Alaska. I strongly urge everyone who reads the E.T. Law, Title 14,
- Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations (at the end of this
- article), to clip it out, and send it on to your congressman, with a
- demand penciled in, to repeal this absurd and potentially lethal law.
- We must use reason, and transcend fear in order to make this planet a
- place where all may live in peace and harmony, as One.
