This document is a not so interesting report of correspondence on a request to have J. Allen Hynek speak at a rotary club meeting. What I find
interesting is that someone felt the need to document this in the first place. Was someone in the government keeping track of Professor Hynek's
speaking engagements?
J. Allen Hynek was a consultant on the subject of UFO’s for U.S. Government programs, including Projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book. He started as
a skeptic, but later believed that there was something to the UFO Phenomenon.

Hynek talk in Ohio correspondence
A series of letters Between Lt. Cl. Tacker, Mr H.L Heise and J. Allen Hynek
Document date: 1961-01-09
Department: USAF
Author: Mr H.L Heise, Lt Cl. Tacker, J.Allen Hynek
Document type: collection of correspondence
pages: 7
Archivist's Notes: This is a series of letters in which Mr Heise requests a speaker for the Rotarians of Troy, Ohio to speak on the topic of UFO's.
Tacker in turn writes to J.Allen Hynek asking him to give the talk.
Hynek responds that it would be difficult to justify but suggests that if he were to be 'called' for consultation that day by 'Major Friend', whom I am assuming is Robert J. Friend of Project Blue Book, it would be possible. This is highlighted by hand on the letter.
This letter also features a handwritten apology from Hynek, blaming his secretary for the lateness of the response.
The matter concludes with Hynek being scheduled to give a speech on April 4th.
Hynek is describing as being suitable for giving the talk as he supports the Air Force and Department of Defense on the subject.
