My Formal Apology to Mr. Art Bell

August 6, 1997

Dear Mr. Art Bell,

I offer to you, my personal and sincere APOLOGY to you regarding statements I made that you had threatened three radio stations and to pull their affiliations if they put me on their programs. There was NO MALICIOUS INTENT on my part to either libel or slander you, Mr. Bell.

The truth is, Mr. Bell, I BELIEVE YOU when you say you did NOT do this, and in the interest of getting to the truth I am making a point as I mentioned to you of getting all of the documentation to you that proves this was an innocent mistake.

I know, Mr. Bell, that you are respected in your radio broadcast profession. I also respect you as well, and know (based on having listened to you and thoroughly enjoyed, your audio book "The Art of Talk") that you have worked very hard to achieve the phenomenal success that you presently enjoy. I have also heard similar testimonies about you from your professional peers, on whose other radio programs I have appeared over the past years.

I would like to re-emphasize to you, your listeners, and the general public, that there was no malicious intent on my part to either malign, libel, or slander you – I simply reported information I had been told from various sources which proved to be incorrect upon close, careful investigation.

As I have also previously communicated to both your attorney and yourself in our joint phone conversation, my allegations made towards you, which were in error, were the result of a hodgepodge of confusion, INNOCENT confusion, on the part of my sources. To put it simply, my sources, which have proved TOTALLY RELIABLE IN THE PAST AND ON ALL OCCASIONS, accidentally confused (in part) the actions of Jim Dilettoso with you, Mr. Bell.

As the enclosed documentation clearly proves, it was Jim Dilettoso who sent a legal notice through his attorney implying legal action(s) if a certain radio station permitted me. Kal Korff, to come on their shows to talk about my research.

I enclose for your perusal not only a copy of Mr. Dilettoso’s letter to one of these stations written by his attorney, as well as this station’s reply to Mr. Dilettoso.

I sincerely regret any problems this may have caused you, Mr. Bell, and as the last of the documentation continues to come into my office, I will forward all copies of it to you so that you may be assured that this unfortunate mistake was indeed an series of accidental ones, and was and is not deliberately malicious.

I have posted as of several days ago, a public apology on the radio show "Sightings" and will make every effort to make sure that THIS public apology receive as wide a distribution as possible, including the posting of it on my own personal website starting tomorrow for the period of one full calendar year. This apology will be posted on www.KalKorff.com, early tomorrow morning, which is my own personal website.

Sincerely and respectfully yours,

Kal K. Korff

Investigative journalist, author and researcher

"SIGHTINGS" is hosted by Mr. Jeff Rense. Below, is a word for word copy of my formal apology to Mr. Art Bell which was posted on the "SIGHTINGS" website as of August 4, 1997.

Dear Mr. Art Bell, I offer my sincere APOLOGIES to you regarding statements I made that you had threatened some radio stations and pull their affiliations if they put me on their program. There was NO MALICIOUS INTENT on my part to either libel or slander you. At present I BELIEVE YOU when you say you did NOT do this, and in the interest of getting to the truth I will make it a point as I mentioned to you of getting all of the documentation to you so you can investigate this. I know you are respected in your radio broadcast profession. You may want to consider the possibility that someone might be out there impersonating you. Looking forward to providing you with the documentation you have asked for and JUSTIFIABLY DESERVE.

Sincerely, Kal Korff
