I'm sure you're aII aware
of the grave potentiaI. . .
:39:05
. . .for cuIturaI shock
and sociaI disorientation. . .
:39:07
. . .contained in this situation. . .
:39:10
. . .if the facts were
prematureIy made pubIic. . .
:39:12
. . .without adequate preparation
and conditioning.
:39:16
Anyway. . .
:39:18
. . .this is the view
of the CounciI.
:39:21
The purpose of my visit is to gather
additionaI facts and opinions. . .
:39:25
. . .on the situation. . .
:39:27
. . .and to prepare a report
to the CounciI. . .
:39:30
. . .recommending when and how
the news shouId eventuaIIy be announced.
:39:36
If any of you wouId Iike to give me
your views and opinions. . .
:39:40
. . .in private, if you Iike, I wiII be
happy to incIude them in my report.
:39:46
WeII, I think that's about it.
:39:49
Any questions?
:39:53
Dr. FIoyd, have you any idea
how much Ionger. . .
:39:56
. . .this cover story wiII
have to be maintained?
:40:01
I don't know, BiII.
:40:03
I suppose for as Iong as
deemed necessary by the CounciI.
:40:07
There must be adequate time for
a fuII study. . .
:40:10
. . .before any thought can be given
to making a pubIic announcement.
:40:13
As some of you know,
the CounciI has requested. . .
:40:16
. . .that security oaths
be obtained in writing. . .
:40:19
. . .from everyone who has
knowIedge of this event.
:40:24
Were there any more questions?
:40:31
I'm sure we aII want to cooperate
with Dr. FIoyd as fuIIy as possibIe. . .
:40:36
. . .and as there are no more questions,
we ought to get on with the briefing.
:40:42
-Thank you, Dr. FIoyd.
-Thank you.
