			I have the full list of Project Blue Book "Unknown" cases. Now I need to understand the scope of the full Blue Book records (not just unknowns), and also build the XML in MediaWiki format. Let me also check for the complete case records beyond just unknowns.

	The National Archives has received numerous inquiries concerning documents identified as "[[MJ12]]" and "Briefing Document: [[Operation Majestic 12]]." We have made extensive searches among the records in our custody of the U.S. Air Force and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to identify these documents. The [[Harry S. Truman\|Truman]] and [[Dwight D. Eisenhower (President)\|Eisenhower]] Libraries have also searched their holdings for any references to, or copies of, the documents. In addition, the records of the National Security Council (NSC) for the [[Harry S. Truman\|Truman]] and [[Dwight D. Eisenhower (President)\|Eisenhower]] Administrations are in the custody of the National Archives. Searches were made of the indexes to the NSC's Policy Paper and Meeting Minute files under the subjects MJ-12, majestic, unidentified flying objects, UFO, flying saucers,extraterrestrial biological entities and Aquarius. These searches were all negative with the exception of a "[[Memorandum for General Twining]], from [[Robert Cutler]], Special Assistant to the President, Subject: "NCS/[[MJ-12]] Special Studies Project" dated July 14, 1954.
