CONGRESSIONAL RECORD – OCTOBER 1967: VOL 113 PG 28949

“Again and again officials pooh-pooh the sightings or the stories. Yet the National Investigating Committee on Aerial Phenomena—NICAP—has accumulated a book of sightings going back more than a decade reporting many instances of dual pilot corroboration by radar and otherwise.

The most recent reported instance of UFO’s was that in Colorado last week in connection with the carcass of a horse from which the brain cavity had reportedly been emptied.

I believe that the Committee on Science and Astronautics should be authorized and directed to conduct a complete and full investigation and study of unidentified flying objects with subpoena powers. It seems to me that the American people are owed a documentary analysis and cross-examination into this subject by a responsible committee of the Congress.”
