“Michigan's Gerald Ford, the House Republican leader, who suggested it would be ‘a very wholesome thing’ for Congress to look into unidentified flying objects. Such an investigation, Ford suggested, would make the American people ‘feel better.’ … The Air Force announced that it had commissioned the University of Colorado to conduct an ‘in-depth’ study of flying saucers for the next 18 months. The director of the study (expected to cost $300,000) would be Dr. Edward U. Condon, former director of the National Bureau of Standards, and now a physics professor at Colorado.”

What this page does not support: The word "led" in the connection. The article places the two side by side and then refuses to join them: "Whether or not that was so, the Air Force last week took definite steps to make itself feel better." The causation is ours, not the source's.

What this page does not carry. The source is a press clipping inside an FBI case file, not a government statement, and this record renders it as third-party press text. It reports the two events in sequence and refuses the causal link between them.
