A rough translation of the Afrikaans reads:
MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF
Dear General Malan,
As per our
recent conversation on this matter, you are hereby authorised to
proceed with all due speed and caution upon your undertaking. The
operation in its entirety will henceforth be known by the code name
Operation Fox.
All material pertaining to the unidentified
object's crash site and any military applications of technology gained
from this research are now classified Top Secret. It may be deemed
appropriate to back track to cover up any previous exposure by
non-authorised personnel. In this matter you are authorised to use your
discretion. Ultimate responsibility for the secrecy and thereby success
of this operation lies solely with you.
All material will only
be visible by the office of the President and a select committee as we
discussed, which will hereafter be known as Swartklip Twaalf.
Regards
PW Botha
