Quote context

[...]

- Now, I know there have been some conflicting views held by some of you regarding the need for complete security in this matter.

- More specifically, your opposition to the cover story created to give the impression of an epidemic at the base.

- I understand that beyond it being a matter of principle, many of you are troubled by the concern and anxiety this story of an epidemic might cause to your relatives and friends on Earth.

- Well, I completely sympathize with your negative views.

- I find this cover story personally embarrassing, myself.

- However, I accept the need for absolute secrecy in this. And I hope you will too.

- I'm sure you're all aware of the extremely grave potential for cultural shock and social disorientation contained in this present situation if the facts were prematurely made public without adequate preparation and conditioning.

- Anyway, this is the view of the Council.

- The purpose of my visit is to gather additional facts and opinions on the situation and to prepare a report to the Council recommending when and how the news should eventually be announced.

- If any of you would like to give me your views and opinions in private, if you like, I will be happy to include them in my report.
