Quote from the document:

“The Request

3. On 11 April 2007 the complainant made the following request:

‘My request, (therefore), is for copies of MoD papers, records 
or other information relating to any or all internal discussions, 
policy and/or briefings in response to 1) public statement made 
to the media and 2) via the release of Open Skies Closed Minds 
by Mr Nicholas Pope during the period 1995-96. I wish you to 
include specific public interest material within the coverage 
of this request as follows:

a) Any internal discussions relating to Mr. Pope's public statements in the Mail on Sunday 2 July 1995, The Independent 3 June 1996 and other press articles during 1995/1996. 

b) Any specific discussions relating to Mr Pope’s published

statements that contradicted the department’s officially stated

policy on the subject of UFO’s and their supposed defence threat.

c) Any papers, generated by MOD or its PCB branch, that relate to

Mr Pope’s public allegation that ‘there was a faction [in the MOD]

that certainly didn’t want the book to appear.’ Specifically I

request a copy of ‘the short letter’ referred to in Mr Pope’s

interview with IUR which allegedly said his manuscript was

‘completely unacceptable to MoD and quite beyond any suitable

Amendment’ and any related discussion which resolved this

issue. As Mr Pope has spoken of this matter openly and in public

it cannot be seriously argued that this material falls within the

auspices of the DPA.”
