Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil - PRG executive director Stephen Bassett will speak here at the Fifth World UFO Forum (II IUFOZ 2013) on November 22.  The principal focus of his address will be the launch of a multi-nation joint resoluiton initiative to the United Nations General Assembly.  This initiative seeks a UN backed world conference addressing the full spectrum of evidence pointing to an extraterrestrial presence (non-human intelligence) engaging the human race.

In his presentation Mr. Bassett will propose Brazil as the appropriate nation to lead a coalition of South American countries to participate in writing and submitting such a resolution to the General Assembly.  While in country he will meet with officials to discuss how to move forward on this proposal. 

The United Nations initiative will be supported through the Citizen Hearing Foundation (CHD). The CHD was formed in the aftermath of the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure conducted at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, April 29 - May 3. On May 3 a communiqué signed by four former members of the U. S. Congress was issued calling on PRG to set up a 501c(3) non-profit for the purposes of pursuing a world conference via the United Nations.
