Dear [redacted]

This responds to your letter to the Secretary of the Air Force regarding “Area 51.”

Neither the Air Force nor the Department of Defense owns or operates any location known as “Area 51.” There are a variety of activities, some of which are classified, throughout what is often called the Air Force's Nellis Range Complex. There is an operating location near Groom Dry Lake. Specific activities and operations conducted on the Nellis Range, both past and present, remain classified and cannot be discussed publicly.

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely

[signed]

JEFFREY A. RAMMES, Major, USAF
Chief, White House Inquiry Branch
Office of Legislative Liaison
