It is just that those that think this is insignificant will think that anyways... there is no information that I can think of that will change their minds.

You asked if he had any questions or doubts about McElroy's testimony and, earlier, he said he didn't see anything that would make him QUESTION McElroy's testimony. How the hell does that not answer your question?

As for all those that think this testimony is significant, which I belong to that party obviously, we can move on knowing one more step has been taken in the right direction towards disclosure.

Read that and tell me if that doesn't answer your question.

Because this man has nothing to lose. Maybe he's dying (your god forbid!) and feels like he got this off his chest and wont take the secret to his grave.

I'm neutral. I'm hoping this is real and we are in fact one step closer to disclosure.

But you have to ask yourself how he got his hands on this document while being in office.

Or was it something a relative mentioned or passed down to him? I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.

Same question has to be asked with reference to documents UFO researchers try to obtain thru FOIA., that are frequently denied under exemption 1. If the documents contain no value or national interests, i.e. ufos, ET's don't exist, why the denials of access? (other than documents that may also contain other military info---not every document can however.
The 1948 Military Documents
For me, the beginning of the end for the Roswell UFO case came last spring, when I first saw one of a number of previously classified military documents dealing with unidentified flying objects. The 289-page document was released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in March 1996 in response to a FOIA request by researcher William LaParl. It contained the minutes of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board Conference at the Pentagon on March 17 and 18, 1948. Buried in the document is a very interesting statement by a Colonel Howard McCoy which referred to a number of unpublished UFO reports. The last sentence of McCoy's statement, however, is devastating to the Roswell case.
"We have a new project -- Project SIGN -- which may surprise you as a development from the so-called mass hysteria of the past Summer when we had all the unidentified flying objects or discs. This can't be laughed off. We have over 300 reports which haven't been publicized in the papers from very competent personnel, in many instances -- men as capable as Dr. K. D. Wood, and practically all Air Force, Airline people with broad experience. We are running down every report. I can't even tell you how much we would give to have one of those crash in an area so that we could recover whatever they are."
My first reaction to this statement was one of disbelief. Thoughts came to mind like- This can't be correct, there must be some mistake, this guy didn't know, etc. We are probably all somewhat prone to such initial reactions of denial when confronted with facts that conflict with our preconceived notions of reality or our established beliefs.

So you don't have any questions or doubts about his testimony at all?
How would they know? I think you missed the point I was trying to make. My point was, that sounds perfectly consistent with the press release General Sanford made which said:
