As expected General Lawrence Craigie, who it is now claimed was flown into Roswell following the 1947 crash and made a deal with President Truman to keep quiet, has no supporting evidence from the Truman presidential files.
In an e-mail dated July 20, 2007 Randy Sowell at the Truman library wrote
Greetings from the Truman Library:
Thank you for your e-mail of July 13. I found only three references to
General Craigie in President Truman's White House files. In January
1948, Craigie was named by Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington
as his representative on the Interdepartmental Committee on Research and
Development. In August 1949, Craigie contacted the White House to
request an autographed photo of the President, which he received. In
June 1952, Craigie was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff for Development,
U.S. Air Force, with the rank of Lt. General. I found no correspondence
with Craigie dating from July 1947.
I looked through the President's phone records from July 1947 and found
no references to General Craigie. The President's appointments schedule
includes one listing of Craigie's name. He was in attendance on Dec.
17, 1947, at a White House ceremony marking the presentation of the
Collier Trophy by President Truman.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Randy Sowell
