Over the years PRG published a number of open letters to political leaders and the media. The primary aim was to keep the pressure on and let them know the Disclosure advocacy movement was not going away. The greater emphasis was on those associated with the Rockefeller Initiative – the Clintons and their key associates.

Open Letter to Secretary Clinton March 15, 2016 Secretary Hillary Clinton Dear Secretary Clinton: In March 1993 billionaire Laurance Rockefeller initiated an extraordinary approach to your husband’s administration via the Office of Science and Technology Policy headed by Dr. John Gibbons. A memorandum from Mr. Rockefeller’s attorney Henry Diamond dated March 29, 1993 conveyed a request to meet with Gibbons “to discuss the potential availability of government information about unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrial life.” Rockefeller, a friend and supporter of you and your husband, wanted to meet with the President and inform him “there is a belief in many quarters that the government has long held classified information regarding UFOs which has not been released and that the failure to do so has brought about unnecessary suspicion and distrust,” and that “Many believe that the release of such information on a basis consistent with national security would be a significant gesture which would increase confidence in government.”
Thus began a three-year effort by a notable American to convince your husband to essentially be the “Disclosure President” and end a then 46-year truth embargo on providing the full facts to the American people regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. This effort, which included meetings, reports, briefings, a book, draft letters to the President and more, came to be known as the Rockefeller Initiative. You were aware of this initiative from the beginning as was a key advisor to the President, John Podesta. You and your husband met with Rockefeller at his Wyoming ranch in August of 1995. Your husband tasked a close friend, Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, to look into the UFO issue at the Department of Justice and elsewhere. He tasked John Podesta, his eventual Chief of Staff, to reform and accelerate the document declassification process. You were kept informed of the ongoing initiative and helped draft a letter from Rockefeller to the President. It is notable that John Podesta, the founder and now CEO of the Center for American Progress, in 2002 and 2003 called for the release to the public of all UFO and related documents in government files. In 2004 Governor Bill Richardson, UN Ambassador and Secretary of Energy during your husband’s administration, made a similar request for documents pertaining to the events in Roswell, New Mexico during July of 1947.
These facts are known from news articles, public records and, most importantly, from nearly 1000 pages of correspondence and documents obtained in 2000 by researcher Grant Cameron from the Office of Science and Technology Policy via the Freedom of Information Act. Additional relevant photos were later obtained from the Clinton Presidential Library. From March 29, 1993 until the present day no member of the Clinton Administration involved in or privy to the Rockefeller Initiative has ever spoken publicly about it. Besides yourself, this includes President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Governor Bill Richardson, Secretary Leon Panetta, Mack McLarty, Webster Hubbell, John Podesta and the late Dr. John Gibbons. In April/May of 2013 a mock congressional hearing was conducted at the National Press Club. Included in the 30 hours of testimony before six former members of the U.S. Congress were three hours of testimony on the Rockefeller Initiative. One year later, as your presidential campaign was being set up, the following series of events came about:
(April 2, 2014) President Clinton appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live and arranges to be asked about aliens. (February 13, 2015) Upon leaving his post as advisor to President Obama, John Podesta tweets: “1. Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #thetruthisstilloutthere cc: @NYTimesDowd” (March 13, 2015) President Obama appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live and arranges to be asked about aliens. (September 29, 2015) Two weeks before the first Democratic primary debate referring to your interview with actress Lena Dunham, John Podesta tweets: “Great interview, @lenadunham. But Lena, ask her about aliens next time!! #TheTruthisOutThere hrc.io/1jusfxk cc: @HillaryClinton” (October 6, 2015) President Clinton appears on the Late Show with Stephen Colbertand arranges to be asked about aliens. (December 30, 2015) You make extraordinary statements regarding the ET issue to Conway Daily Sun reporter Daymond Steer while campaigning in New Hampshire. (February 11, 2016) President Obama appears on the Ellen Show knowing he would be asked about aliens. (March 1, 2016) While campaigning in Nevada prior to the Democratic caucus, John Podesta gives an interview to Steve Sebelius of KLAS TV Las Vegas when, among other comments, he confirms your statements to the Conway Daily Sun were serious.
It would appear there is an unprecedented political subtext pointing to an unstated agenda on the part of your campaign regarding an issue of profound importance. But this agenda remains deliberately obscure with repeated requests from the media regarding the matter ignored.
It is your ambition to reach a significant milestone in American history by becoming the first President of the United States who happens to be a woman, or put another way, the 69th female head of state. While this would be an admirable legacy, what the American people need is less legacy and more truth. The people have lost patience with “in loco parentis” government that treats them like children and candidates with long lists of issues they can’t discuss because it is not convenient to their campaign or the people “can’t handle the truth.”
Because you were introduced to these matters within the context of the White House, because you aspire to the highest office in the nation, you have an extraordinary opportunity and primary obligation to directly and unambiguously address what is easily the most significant issue of this or any other time – an issue with major national security and policy implications.
Madam Secretary, if you choose to speak truth to power, it is not enough to select those truths that are convenient or safe or self-serving. You must speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth and place your fate in the hands of history.

Open Letter to Presidential Debate Moderators
Lester Holt Martha Raddatz Anderson Cooper Chris Wallace
Fox News Sunday Anchor In the coming weeks you will be moderating three presidential debates between Secretary Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Under the rules of the Commission on Presidential Debates the DNC, RNC and the Commission cannot influence and will not know the questions you plan to ask the candidates. Therefore, you and you alone stand between those who seek the most powerful office in the country and the people’s right to know. Many journalists, politicians and activists have complained about the questions being directed at the candidates in the dozens of previous debates and forums. A wide range of significant subjects are ignored, while great attention is paid to matters both trivial and even prurient. Voters are not learning what the candidates know about matters of great importance to the country and national security. This letter addresses one such matter. During the past two years over 500 mainstream news articles (English and foreign language press) have been written about the connection between Secretary Clinton, President Clinton and many of their political colleagues and the extraterrestrial presence issue. This connection centers on events that took place between March of 1993 and October of 1996 – the Rockefeller Initiative – an effort funded by Laurance Rockefeller to convince President Clinton to release all relevant files and grant amnesty to witnesses who might come forward with important information. It is notable that since 1993 four members of the Clinton Administration, who were involved in or aware of the Rockefeller Initiative, have held or sought the presidency six times and never spoken about it. For reasons unknown the media chose not to report this extraordinary engagement by the Clinton White House. But that changed in February of 2015. Publications that have written about this connection since February of 2015 include: CBS News, Chicago Tribune, Conway Daily Sun, Epoch Times, Guardian (UK),Huffington Post, Mother Jones, NBC News, New Republic, New York, New York Daily News, New York Observer, New York Times, Roll Call, The Hill, The Week (UK), Times of London (UK), Vanity Fair, Vice, Washington Post, Washington Times and many more. With one exception, beginning in January of 2015 many reporters have contacted the Clinton campaign, including co-chairman John Podesta, about the Clinton/ET/ Rockefeller Initiative connection and received no response. The exception, Daniel Oberhause of Vice, received an evasive and limited response from Mr. Podesta. As a result of this media pressure, since February of 2015 John Podesta, Secretary Clinton, President Clinton and President Obama have made numerous written and spoken statements about the extraterrestrial (UFO) issue, but without any mention of the Rockefeller Initiative. These statements follow other related comments by John Podesta in 2002 and 2003 and President Clinton in 2005 and 2014 and generated hundreds of articles world wide. The engagement of the Clinton White House with the extraterrestrial issue is one of the most important political stories in history. Yet, it was not covered by the press until February of 2015. Comments by Secretary Clinton and her campaign co-chair during her presidential campaign are unprecedented. The issue has enormous implications for the nation and its security. Remarkably, despite the hundreds of print articles about the Clinton/ET connection, no network moderator of the nine Democratic debates and ten forums asked a single question about this connection. This oversight is now in your hands to correct. Here are examples of questions that could be asked: Secretary Clinton, your husband tasked Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell to look into the UFO/ET issue. His advisor and Chief of Staff John Podesta has spoken to the UFO/ET issue repeatedly. Your husband’s Secretary of Energy and UN Ambassador Bill Richardson in 2004 challenged the Air Force explanation of the July 1947 Roswell events. You were directly involved in the Rockefeller Initiative. But none of you have ever publicly spoken of the Rockefeller Initiative for now on 23 years. Why is that? Secretary Clinton, my network has reviewed hundreds of pages of documents regarding the engagement of the UFO/ET issue by your husband’s administration from 1993 to 1996 at the behest of Laurance Rockefeller. Why haven’t you or your husband ever publicly spoken of this? Secretary Clinton, the Rockefeller Initiative wound down in the fall of 1996. Your husband ran for a second term and you have run twice for the presidency. Shouldn’t the engagement of the UFO/ET issue by your husband’s administration have been mentioned during these campaigns? Secretary Clinton, your campaign chairman John Podesta publicly raised the issue of releasing all government held UFO files in 2002, 2003, 2010 and most recently in 2015. Why was he doing that as early as 2002? Are his statements connected back to the Rockefeller Initiative from 1993 to 1996? Secretary Clinton, my publication has seen documents from your husbands Office of Science and Technology Policy which indicate you and your staff were directly involved in the Rockefeller Initiative. Why were no UFO files released? Did the Pentagon refuse to cooperate? If so, isn’t that a Constitutional breach? Secretary Clinton, you recently made some extraordinary statements to a reporter from the Conway Daily Sun that no Republican or Democratic president or presidential candidate have ever made. You said you would “get to the bottom” of the UFO issue if elected. You suggested a task force be created to investigate Area 51. You had promised your campaign chairman John Podesta you would investigate the issue if elected. You suggested we may have been visited already, but don’t know. These statements were reported around the world in hundreds of media venues. Are you surprised no debate or town hall moderators have asked you about these statements? Are these statements related back to the Rockefeller Initiative during your husband’s administration. Secretary Clinton, repeated polling has shown that more that 80% of the American people believe their government is not telling the truth regarding the UFO/ET phenomena. Do you think the people are being told the truth? Secretary Clinton, many Air Force officers with high security clearances have come forward with reports of nuclear tampering incidents by craft of unknown origin? Their testimony has been reported by hundreds of media venues. Why has the White House or the Congress never responded to this testimony? Secretary Clinton, my network is aware there are scores of military/agency/political witnesses of rank and station ready to testify before Congress about the UFO/ET issue. The Congress has not held a hearing on the UFO/ET issue since 1968. Should new hearings in Congress be held for these witnesses? Secretary Clinton, if there is an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race, why should the American people have to wait for the next President to confirm this? Shouldn’t the current president do so? Secretary Clinton, is it acceptable to you that any president should be on a need to know only basis regarding any aspect of national security, including the UFO/ET issue? Secretary Clinton, are you aware the President Jimmy Carter was also denied access to UFO/ET information and the Pentagon, CIA, NASA and the Air Force refused to cooperate with his desire to formally study the UFO/ET issue out of the White House? Secretary Clinton, when you and your husband met with Laurance Rockefeller at his JY Ranch in August of 1995, did you discuss with Mr. Rockefeller his initiative to have your husband release all government held UFO files, given that effort had been underway for over two years at that time? Secretary Clinton, photos obtained from the Clinton library show you in 1995 walking with Laurance Rockefeller at his Wyoming ranch and carrying a book titled, Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life by Paul Davies. Was that book part of your discussions with Mr. Rockefeller? Secretary Clinton, do you think the American people have a right to know if they are being engaged by non-human, extraterrestrial intelligence? This letter includes embedded links to hundreds of articles, the Clinton team statements and other resources. It also includes a link to 167 of the key documents obtained via the FOIA confirming the Rockefeller Initiative. I would be happy to hand deliver hard copies of the entire 800+ documents to your office at your convenience.
