Background In the process of seeking UFO related memorandum within the Executive Office of the President / Office of Science and Technology Policy, my May 2018 FOIA request was redirected to NASA for a response.

The speed with which these diseases can emerge and spread presents serious public health, economic, and development concerns. It also underscores the need for the development of comprehensive disease detection and response capacities, particularly in “hot…
