ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
|
|
YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO QUOTE FROM THIS INFORMATION IN
|
|
PRESS RELEASES, PERIODICALS, AND SPEECHES.
|
|
INCLUSION IN ANY OTHER MEDIA REQUIRES
|
|
MY EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION.
|
|
|
|
This file contains the absolute true information regarding
|
|
the alien presence on Earth and the U.S. Government's involvement
|
|
with the aliens.
|
|
This file contains only the information as I saw it and only
|
|
my information.
|
|
It does not contain any information from any other source.
|
|
It was necessary for me to issue the information previous to
|
|
this release in a manner which would deceive the government until
|
|
someone was able to independently confirm my identity, my employ-
|
|
ment, my service record, my intelligence background, the identity
|
|
of the person to which I gave the information in 1972, his ac-
|
|
knowledgment of the information and when it was given to him,
|
|
that the information is correct, that I have not seen him since
|
|
1974, and that I have not communicated with him in any form since
|
|
1976.
|
|
This was necessary because this file is my death warrant if
|
|
MJ-12 continues to operate in a manner consistent with its his-
|
|
tory.
|
|
All in the last paragraph has been independently verified by
|
|
two different people who have no connection with each other. I
|
|
will only list one for obvious reasons.

The original information that I first released was not much
|
|
MAJI that I was not a threat long enough to have independent ver-
|
|
ification of the facts before I risked death. [TRANSMISSION GAR-
|

|
|
I wish to make it absolutely clear that I do not consider
|
|
myself a hero.
|
|
I believe that most of you would do the same thing if you
|
|
knew the truth.

I gave an oath that I would uphold and protect the Constitu-

tion of the United States of America and I take that oath very
|
|
seriously.

I am doing no more now than I did when I fought in Vietnam.

I am doing my duty.

I, Milton William Cooper, 1311 S. Highland #205, Fullerton,
|
|
California, 92632, 1-714-680-9537, do solemnly swear that the in-
|
|
formation contained in this file is true and correct to the best
|
|
of my knowledge.
|
|
I swear that I saw this information in 1972 in the perfor-
|
|
mance of my duties as a member of the Intelligence Briefing Team
|
|
of the Commander In Chief of the Pacific Fleet as a Petty Officer
|
|
in the U.S. Navy.
|
|
I swear that I underwent hypnotic regression in order to
|
|
make the information as accurate as possible.
|
|
I swear that I can and will take a lie detector test or any
|
|
other test of any reputable person's choosing in order to confirm
|
|
this information.
|
|
I swear that I can and will undergo hypnotic regression con-
|
|
ducted by any reputable and qualified doctor of any reputable
|
|
person's choosing in order to confirm this information.
|
|
I will not, however submit to any test or hypnosis by anyone
|
|
who is now or has ever been connected with the government in any
|
|
capacity for obvious reasons.
|
|
The following is brief listing of everything that I person-
|
|
ally saw and know from 1972 and does not contain any input from
|
|
any other source whatsoever.
|
|
MAJESTY was listed as the code word for the President of the
|
|
United States for communications concerning this information.
|
|
OPERATION MAJORITY is the name of the operation responsible
|
|
for every aspect, project, and consequence of alien presence on
|
|
Earth.
|
|
GRUDGE contains 16 volumes of documented information col-
|
|
lected from the beginning of the United States investigation of
|
|
Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Identified Alien Crafts
|
|
(IACs).
|
|
The project was financed by CIA confidential funds
|
|
(nonappropriated) and money from the illicit drug trade. Partic-
|
|
ipation in the illegal drug trade was justified in that it would
|
|
identify and eliminate the weak elements of our society. The
|
|
purpose of Project Grudge was to collect all scientific, techno-
|
|
logical, medical and intelligence information from UFO/IAC sight-
|
|
ings and contacts with alien life forms.
|
|
This orderly file of collected information has been used to
|
|
advance the United States Space Program.
|
|
MJ-12 is the name of the secret control group.
|
|
President Eisenhower commissioned a secret society known as
|
|
THE JASON SOCIETY (JASON SCHOLARS) to sift through all the facts,
|
|
evidence, technology, lies and deception and find the truth of
|
|
the alien question.
|
|
The society was made up of 32 of the most prominent men in
|
|
the country in 1972 and the top 12 members were designated MJ-12.
|
|
MJ-12 has total control over everything. They are desig-
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nated by the codes J-1, J-2, etc., all the way through the
|
|
members of the Jason Society.
|
|
The director of the CIA was appointed J-1 and is the Direc-
|
|
tor of MJ-12.
|
|
MJ-12 is responsible only to the President.
|
|
MJ-12 runs most of the world's illegal drug trade.
|
|
This was done to hide funding and thus keep the secret from
|
|
the Congress and the people of the United States.
|
|
It was justified in that it would identify and eliminate the
|
|
weak elements of our society.
|
|
The cost of funding the alien connected projects is higher
|
|
than anything you can imagine.
|
|
MJ-12 assassinated President Kennedy when he informed them
|
|
that he was going to tell the public all the facts of the alien
|
|
presence.
|
|
He was killed by the Secret Service agent driving his car,
|
|
and it is plainly visible in the film held from public view.
|
|
A secret meeting place was constructed for MJ-12 in MARYLAND
|
|
and it was described as only accessible by air.
|
|
It contains full living, recreational, and other facilities
|
|
for MJ-12 and the JASON SOCIETY.
|
|
It is code named "THE COUNTRY CLUB." Only those with TOP
|
|
SECRET/MAJIC clearance are allowed to go there.
|
|
MAJI is the MAJORITY AGENCY FOR JOINT INTELLIGENCE.
|
|
All information, disinformation, and intelligence is gath-
|
|
ered and evaluated by this agency.
|
|
This agency is responsible for all disinformation and oper-
|
|
ates in conjunction with the CIA, NSA, and the Defense Intelli-
|
|
gence Agency.
|
|
This is a very powerful organization, and all alien projects
|
|
are under its control.
|
|
MAJI is responsible only to MJ-12.
|
|
SIGMA is the project which first established communications
|
|
with the aliens and is still responsible for communications.
|
|
PLATO is the project responsible for diplomatic relations
|
|
with the aliens.
|
|
This project secured a formal treaty (illegal under the Con-
|
|
stitution) with the aliens.
|
|
The terms were that the aliens would give us technology.
|
|
In return, we agreed to keep their presence on earth a se-
|
|
cret, not to interfere in any way with their actions, and to al-
|
|
low them to abduct humans and animals.
|
|
The aliens agreed to furnish MJ-12 with a list of abductees
|
|
on a periodic basis.
|
|
MAJIC is the security classification and clearance of all
|
|
alien connected material, projects, and information.
|
|
MAJIC means MAJI Controlled.
|
|
AQUARIUS is a project which compiled the history of alien
|
|
presence and their interaction with Homo Sapiens upon this planet
|
|
for the last 25,000 years and culminating with the Basque people
|
|
who live in the mountainous country on the border of France and
|
|
Spain and the Syrians.
|
|
GARNET is the project responsible for control of all infor-
|
|
mation and documents regarding this subject and accountability of
|
|
the information and documents.
|
|
PLUTO is a project to evaluate all UFO/IAC information per-
|
|
taining to space tel [TRANSMISSION GARBLED]
|
|
POUNCE is the project formed to recover all downed/crashed
|
|
craft and aliens.
|
|
REDLIGHT is the project to test fly recovered alien craft.
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is conducted at AREA 51 (DREAMLAND) in Nevada.
|
|
It was aided when the aliens gave us craft and helped us fly
|
|
them.
|
|
The initial project was somewhat successful in that we flew
|
|
a recovered craft, but it blew up in the air, and the pilots were
|
|
killed.
|
|
The project was suspended at that time until the aliens
|
|
agreed to help us.
|
|
SNOWBIRD was established as a cover for project REDLIGHT.
|
|
Several flying saucer type craft were built using conventional
|
|
technology.
|
|
They were unveiled to the press and flown in front of the
|
|
press.
|
|
The purpose was to explain accidental sightings or disclo-
|
|
sure of REDLIGHT as having been the SNOWBIRD craft.
|
|
LUNA is the alien base on the far side of the Moon.
|
|
It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts.
|
|
A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and
|
|
the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as
|
|
MOTHER SHIPS exist there.
|
|
NRO is the National Recon Organization based at Fort Carson,
|
|
Colorado.
|
|
It is responsible for security for all alien or alien craft
|
|
connected projects.
|
|
DELTA is the designation for the specific arm of the NRO,
|
|
which is especially trained and tasked with security of these
|
|
projects.
|
|
JOSHUA is a project to develop a low frequency pulsed sound
|
|
generating weapon.
|
|
It was said that this weapon would be effective against the
|
|
alien craft and beam weapons.
|
|
EXCALIBUR is a weapon to destroy the alien underground
|
|
bases. It is to be a missile capable of penetrating 1000 meters
|
|
of Tuff/hard packed soil such as that found in New Mexico with no
|
|
operational damage.
|
|
Missile apogee not to exceed 30,000 feet AGL and impact must
|
|
not deviate in excess of 50 meters from designated target.
|
|
The device will carry a one-megaton nuclear warhead.
|
|
ALIENS: There were four types of aliens mentioned in the
|
|
papers. A LARGE NOSED GREY with whom we have the treaty, the
|
|
GREY reported in abductee cases that works for the LARGE NOSED
|
|
GREY, a blond human like type described as the NORDIC, a red
|
|
haired human like type called the ORANGE.
|
|
The home of the aliens were described as being a star in the
|
|
Constellation of Orion, Barnards star, and Zeta Riticuli 1&2.
|
|
I cannot remember even under hypnosis which alien belongs to
|
|
which star.
|
|
EBE is the name or designation given to the live alien cap-
|
|
tured at the 1949 Roswell crash.
|
|
He died in captivity.
|
|
KRLL OR KRLLL OR CRLL OR CRLLL pronounced Crill or Krill was
|
|
the hostage left with us at the first Holloman landing as a
|
|
pledge that the aliens would carry out their part of the basic
|
|
agreement reached during that meeting.
|
|
KRLL gave us the foundation of the yellow book which was
|
|
completed by the guests at a later date.
|
|
KRLL became sick and was nursed by Dr. G. Mendoza who became
|
|
the expert on alien biology and medicine. KRLL later died.
|
|
His information was disseminated under the pseudonym O.H.
|
|
Cril or Crill.
|
|
|
|
Page 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GUESTS were aliens exchanged for humans who gave us the bal-
|
|
ance of the yellow book.
|
|
At the time I saw the information there were only three left
|
|
alive.
|
|
They were called (P&#'s) Alien Life Forms.
|
|
[TRANSMISSION GARBLED]
|
|
RELIGION
|
|
The aliens claim to have created Homo Sapiens through hy-
|
|
bridization.
|
|
The papers said that RH-blood was proof of this.
|
|
They further claimed to have created all four major reli-
|
|
gions.
|
|
They showed a hologram of the crucifixion of Christ which
|
|
the government filmed.
|
|
They claim that Jesus was created by them.
|
|
ALIEN BASES exist in the four corners area of Utah, Col-
|
|
orado, New Mexico, and Nevada.
|
|
Six bases were described in the 1972 papers, all on Indian
|
|
reservations and all in the four corners area. The base near
|
|
Dulce was one of them.
|
|
MURDER
|
|
The documents stated that many military and government per-
|
|
sonnel had been terminated (murdered without due process of law)
|
|
when they had attempted to reveal the secret.
|
|
CRAFT RECOVERIES
|
|
The documents stated that many craft had been recovered.
|
|
The early ones from Roswell, Aztec, Roswell again, Texas,
|
|
Mexico, and other places.
|
|
GENERAL DOOLITTLE made a prediction that one day we would
|
|
have to reckon with the aliens, and the document stated that it
|
|
appeared that General Doolittle was correct.
|
|
ABDUCTIONS were occurring long before 1972.
|
|
The document stated that humans and animals were being ab-
|
|
ducted and or mutilated.
|
|
Many vanished without a trace.
|
|
They were taking sperm and ova samples, tissue, performed
|
|
surgical operations, implanted a spherical device 40 to 80 mi-
|
|
crons in size near the optic nerve in the brain and all attempts
|
|
to remove it resulted in the death of the patient.
|
|
The document estimated that one in every 40 people had been
|
|
implanted.
|
|
This implant was said to give the aliens total control of
|
|
that human.
|
|
CONTINGENCY PLAN SHOULD THE INFORMATION BECOME PUBLIC OR
|
|
SHOULD THE ALIENS ATTEMPT A TAKEOVER.
|
|
This plan called for a public announcement that a terrorist
|
|
group had entered the United States with an atomic weapon.
|
|
It would be announced that the terrorists planned to deto-
|
|
nate the weapon in a major city.
|
|
Martial law would be declared and all persons with implants
|
|
would be rounded up along with all dissidents and would be placed
|
|
into concentration camps.
|
|
The press, radio, and TV would be nationalized and con-
|
|
trolled. Anyone attempting to resist would be arrested or
|
|
killed.
|
|
CONTINGENCY PLAN TO CONTAIN OR DELAY RELEASE OF INFORMATION
|
|
This plan called for the use of MAJESTIC TWELVE as a disin-
|
|
formation ploy to delay and confuse the release of information
|
|
should anyone get close to the truth.
|
|
It was selected because of the similarity of spelling and
|
|
|
|
Page 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the similarity to MJ-12.
|
|
It was designed to confuse memory and to result in a fruit-
|
|
less search for material that does not exist.
|
|
SOURCE OF MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE DOCUMENTS WHICH I SAW
|
|
The source of the material was an Office of Naval Intelli-
|
|
gence counter-intelligence operation against MJ-12 in order for
|
|
the Navy to find out the truth of what was really going on.
|
|
The Navy (at that time or at least the Navy that I worked
|
|
for) were not participants in any of this.
|
|
The different services and the government conduct this type
|
|
of operation against each other all the time.
|
|
The result of this operation was that the Navy cut them-
|
|
selves in for a piece of the action (technology) and control of
|
|
some projects.
|
|
As you can see this file is only a little different from my
|
|
previous file.
|
|
Only some names were scrambled previously to confuse the
|
|
government long enough for someone to verify that what I have
|
|
said is the truth.
|
|
I have added information in this file that puts me in abso-
|
|
lute danger.
|
|
I have sent a copy of this file to people all over the coun-
|
|
try and will continue to do so.
|
|
Please get this file into as many hands as you can and maybe
|
|
that will protect me but I doubt it.
|
|
HISTORY WILL BE THE JUDGE OF ME AND THIS INFORMATION, AND I
|
|
HAVE NO FEAR OF THAT JUDGEMENT.
|
|
I SWEAR THAT THIS INFORMATION IS TRUE AND CORRECT TO THE
|
|
BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.
|
|
I wish to thank all those people who have aided me in reach-
|
|
ing this point and for their patience and understanding.
|
|
I owe you all more than I can ever repay.
|
|
Finally, it does not matter who is right and who is wrong or
|
|
if a project name is in the wrong place.
|
|
It does not matter who is working for whom or what is really
|
|
what.
|
|
It should be obvious by now that something sinister and ter-
|
|
ribly wrong is going on involving the government and the UFO phe-
|
|
nomenon.
|
|
We must all band together and expose it now.
|
|
I have done my part in the best manner that I could.
|
|
I can add nothing else except my testimony in Congress or a
|
|
court of law that what I saw and have written in this file is
|
|
true and that I saw it.
|
|
Everything in my previous file that does not conflict with
|
|
this file is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and
|
|
some of it is from sources and research.
|
|
You may combine the files to get the entire picture.
|
|
Throw out only that information that conflicts with that
|
|
contained in this file.
|
|
There will be no further additions or corrections to this
|
|
information either now or in the future.
|
|
My file is complete and stands to be judged by history.
|
|
Sometime in the future the exact papers that I saw will sur-
|
|
face, and you will all see this exact information contained
|
|
within them.

The real Kennedy assassination tape, $18. This is the unedited
|
|
Zapruder film that clearly shows the driver killing JFK. On
|
|
VHS tape.

|
|
This is a videotaped speech and workshop from Cooper that
|
|
also shows the Kennedy tape (not very clearly, though). I
|
|
think this is basically the same deal as the above tran-
|
|
script. On VHS tape.

|
|
the secret subgovernment in the U.S. since 1947.

|
|
of Operation Majority, the people who run all UFO-related ac-
|
|
tivities.
|
|
"Jason Society," $12. List of 51 scientists, last updated in
|
|
1987, who work for Operation Majority. The group is still
|
|
trying to find the last three scientists who are Jason Soci-
|
|
ety members.

Appendix C: Musings
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is some thought that the U.S. Air Force, in conjunc-
|
|
tion with the Canadians, has standing orders to deny any UFO
|
|
sightings to the public.
|
|
Timothy Good, in his book Above Top Secret, states:
|
|
"Cooperation between the United States and Canada in the report-
|
|
ing of UFOs was laid down, for example, in the Canadian-United
|
|
States Communications Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelli-
|
|
gence Sightings (CIRVIS) JANAP 146 (E), issued in March 1966 by
|
|
the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well as the Canadian Defense Staff.
|
|
This publication lists instructions for the reporting of
|
|
'information of vital importance to the security of the United
|
|
States of America and Canada and their forces, which in the opin-
|
|
ion of the observer, requires very urgent defensive and/or inves-
|
|
tigative action by the U.S. and/or Canadian armed forces.' Sight-
|
|
ings within the scope of JANAP 146 include 'Unidentified Flying
|
|
Objects' as distinct from 'Hostile of unidentified single air-
|
|
craft or formations of aircraft,' and there are lengthy and elab-
|
|
orate instructions for reporting UFOs" (Good, 192).
|
|
And later he states: "Because of reports like these [UFOs],
|
|
airline pilots became subject to military restrictions contained
|
|
in a Joint Army-Navy-Air Force Publication (JANAP), drawn up by
|
|
the Joint Communications-Electronics Committee, and promulgated
|
|
by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and could thus find themselves li-
|
|
able to a prison term of up to 10 years and/or a fine of $10,000
|
|
if they discussed their sightings with the media or public"
|
|
(Good, 283).

Stan Barrington offers a document about "Operation Majority,
|
|
which concerns the dealings of MJ-12. The following discussion,
|
|
taken from the alt.conspiracy section of Usenet, focuses on the
|
|
validity of those documents:
|
|
"What is the latest status of the MJ-12 documents
|
|
(concerning authenticity)? I know that Klass did his usual de-
|
|
bunking job, but also read that Friedman produced all the sup-
|
|
porting evidence Klass had demanded (similar typefaces in use on
|
|
other documents of the same era, etc.). Has the U.S. Government
|
|
|
|
Page 8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
taken a formal position on the MJ-12 documents? What evidence,
|
|
pro and con, has been produced on the authenticity issue since
|
|
their release. What are the details of the release? Any and all
|
|
information will be appreciated. Thanks."
|
|
The reply was: "I don't know about the U.S. Government's
|
|
position, but Klass has done a pretty good job of showing that
|
|
there is at least some fraud in the papers. In particular, he
|
|
has shown that the supposed signature of Harry Truman on one of
|
|
the critical papers is identical to the signature on another
|
|
document in the National Archives, except that it's (if I recall
|
|
correctly) 3.6 percent larger. It is impossible for two
|
|
signatures to be identical unless one is a photographic copy of
|
|
the other, and interestingly, most copying machines do a very
|
|
small expansion of what they copy to prevent edge effects--a
|
|
blow-up of exactly 1.2 percent. So it would appear this supposed
|
|
signature is actually a third-generation photocopy of Truman's
|
|
signature. Handwriting experts have confirmed this. I believe
|
|
it's written up in the current (Spring 1990) Skeptical Inquirer,
|
|
but I can't find my copy at the moment so I can't say for sure."
|
|
I don't know who Klass or Friedman are, (although Friedman
|
|
may be the same person that was mentioned as a helper in Majestic
|
|
by Whitley Strieber, and also mentioned as a government official
|
|
in the speech) but the Skeptical Inquirer is a respected paranor-
|
|
mal debunking newspaper put out by James "the Amazing" Randi.
|
|
It also seems to me that the idea that Truman's signature is
|
|
a photocopy of another one in the National Archives is a bit odd.
|
|
There must be thousands of Truman signature in the Archives, and
|
|
thinking that someone could find the one that exactly matched a
|
|
3.6 percent enlargement is laughable (but then again, those same
|
|
people find the idea of a huge UFO cover-up laughable).

Whitley Strieber is a strange character in this whole af-
|
|
fair. He is the writer of Wolfen and The Howling, two horror
|
|
novels. Lately, he turned to writing about UFOs.
|
|
His first book on the subject, Communion, deals with his
|
|
personal experiences with abduction by an unknown intelligence
|
|
(Strieber always tries to avoid the word "alien," so he can leave
|
|
the options open that these are humans that are traveling through
|
|
time or even an unknown earthly intelligence). His second book,
|
|
Transformation, is not as familiar to me, but I have heard that
|
|
it is more of the same as Communion, except that it is less well-
|
|
supported and deals with a sort of religion of the unknown.
|
|
Strieber contends in that book that the "others" (as he calls
|
|
them) gave him a sketchy design for an anti-gravity motor that
|
|
relies on rotating magnets.
|
|
His third book is Majestic. Milton William Cooper mentions
|
|
it in his speech. This book follows the Cooper speech closely in
|
|
many regards; in fact, sometimes it seems like one is stealing
|
|
from the other because they are so close. Strieber writes this
|
|
book as fiction, but at the end there is a section in which he
|
|
says that the book is based on truth and that the government is
|
|
hiding information from the public. He insists that this truth
|
|
must be brought out. However, Cooper says that Strieber is work-
|
|
ing for the government. He offers some proof to this claim, but
|
|
he doesn't really say why the government would hire Strieber to
|
|
write Majestic, or whether he was hired before he wrote C mmunion
|
|
and Transformation. All Cooper says is that Strieber is testing
|
|
the waters, leaking the information in a way that the government
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
could deny.
|
|
I think that if Strieber works for the government, then it
|
|
is mostly likely because the government thinks that people will
|
|
not believe anything he writes about UFOs, given his history of
|
|
writing horror. Thus, the government has Strieber write some-
|
|
thing that is based on truth, and everyone thinks it is coming
|
|
from such a bad source that it must be false.

This from Keith Rowell in Oregon:
|
|
"You folks interested in Strieber's claims should check out
|
|
the book Report on Communion (Morrow, 1989) by Ed Conroy.
|
|
"Conroy is a San Antonio-based freelance reporter who wrote
|
|
some early articles for the local newspaper and then continued to
|
|
explore and investigate till he ended up with a book. He basi-
|
|
cally concludes that Strieber's claims are true as far as we now
|
|
understand the UFO phenomenon, which is very far from adequate at
|
|
this time. (The scholarly and scientific establishment has yet
|
|
to honestly and openly embrace the problem of the UFO. Conroy's
|
|
book is opening the way for the investigative media people,
|
|
though. Things are changing as the UFO issue just refuses to go
|
|
away.) You will all hear more and more about the reality status
|
|
of UFOs as we go through the 1990s. Intelligence establishment
|
|
secrecy is being slowly broken down and the scientific/scholarly
|
|
community is slowly putting up less resistance as the years go
|
|
by.
|
|
"My opinions are based on 15 years of reading the UFO liter-
|
|
ature and four years or so of more or less active participation
|
|
in the UFO community. It is very hard to understand what is go-
|
|
ing on in the UFO community without paying very close attention
|
|
to it. The normal sources of news and information cover this
|
|
group of people in a very inconsistent and sometimes downright
|
|
biased way. You're just going to have to get your feet wet on
|
|
this one; otherwise, you'll just being talking through your hat.
|
|
"I'll be happy to send via electronic mail my representative
|
|
UFO bibliography to anyone who wants it. Lately, new (and sig-
|
|
nificant) UFO books are added practically monthly in the past few
|
|
years. UFOs are hot again. We seem to be in a peak of activity
|
|
again.
|
|
"The latest significant book is by Ed Walters on his Gulf-
|
|
breeze UFO/photograph experiences, being distributed to your lo-
|
|
cal bookstores as I write this."
