What this is
2 passages have been read off pages of this document and are printed below. What is missing is the summary: nobody has yet written the sentence saying what that reading establishes, and this block prints that sentence and nothing else. Read the passages themselves.

“UFO researchers believe an alien spacecraft crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, and the CIA has been asked many times for its records on the event. The CIA responds that it holds no information on this alleged event.”
The agency describing, internally, both the belief and its own standing answer to it. "The CIA responds that" is the newsletter naming a policy, which is what the response letter then executes.
“Majestic 12, or MJ-12, is also a frequent request subject of UFO researchers. It is allegedly a top secret research and development operation formed by President Truman to exploit the alien materials gathered at the Roswell crash site. The CIA has been unable to locate records on Majestic 12 in FOIA searches in the past.”
The newsletter is REPORTING AN ALLEGATION, not making one: "allegedly" is the document's own word. Harry Truman is an entity on this map and nothing here is bound to him.
Where no sheet is shown, the quote was still read off the page, rendered from the file we hold. A page image has not been prepared for the web for that page yet.
