Extract from The Brookings Report

                      Report No 242 87th Congress 1st Session

 "Proposed studies on the implications of peaceful space activities for human affairs"
  
     For NASA by the Brookings Institution Committee on Science and Astronautics
                                 (34 men 1 woman)

 "It has been speculated that, of all groups, scientists and engineers might be the most
 devastated by the discovery of relatively superior creatures, since these professions
 are most clearly associated with the mastery of nature rather than with the understanding
 and expression of man"

 "Advanced understanding of nature might vitiate all our theories at the very least, if
 not also require a culture and perhaps a brain inaccessible to earth scientists"


----------------------------------------------------

 note:

 1 revealing summary of establishment science - more concerned with `mastery' than with
   understanding;

 2 admission that present `theories' probably untrue;

 3 read that last `brain' bit as you will;

 4 can see even at that early stage `authorities' were getting anxious about holding on
   to "power".

 "Brookings Report" - kept under wraps for many years -  went on to propose keeping secret
 any contact with alien cultures - under the guise of preventing a "collapse of civilization"
