Dear colleagues.
I just discovered within my archives another Barry Goldwater piece where he talks about UFOs. I have uploaded audio in question and you can listen to it

BACKGROUND:
Back in April 6, 2008 I informed Grant Cameron that I obtained video interview with Barry Goldwater where Barry mentioned his attempt to gain access to Blue Room at Wright-Patterson through General Curtis LeMay. That piece was broadcast at October 1, 1994 within Larry King episode titled "Larry King Live from Area 51". I was able to get at the time complete DVD recording from an archivist in Ohio from where I extracted that excerpt. I exchanged various UFO related archives with that archivist for many months via snail mail.
After I sent video to Grant, his webmaster Paul Robinson uploaded it on YouTube and it is still available here:

Since then, it was shared and commented many times within UFO community.
Today, while I was transferring some of my archives to new HDD with 2Tb of space, I stumbled on another Barry Goldwater piece that I was not even aware that I have. I probably obtained it long time ago within set of various audio files that I got in that folder. After some research I was able to determine that it was recorded by host Mike Murphy from Kansas radio station KCMO. It seems that interview happened somewhere back in 1990s. Host Mike Murphy had interest in UFOs (http://tinyurl.com/pjvgt2e) so when Barry Goldwater was scheduled to be his guest, he couldn't miss the chance to ask him about Wright-Patterson story.
Other also tried to get audio but with no success. Check here:

Here is finally the transcript of the exchange:
MIKE MURPHY:
Now, I don't know whether this is folklore, whether this is true, but I've been a flying saucer fan since I was a little kid. I use to know...I use to know Major Donald Keyhoe...his mother use to live next door to us. So back in the 40s he came out with "Flying Saucers are Real" and all this books. So I am little kid and I've been with this all my life. And maybe this is folklore, but the story is you tried to find something out about the Roswell crash.
BARRY GOLDWATER:
Nooo!
MIKE MURPHY:
Is that true?
BARRY GOLDWATER:
I know that in...at Wright-Patterson field the Air Force had, and I have to assume that it's still there...had a room where I think they called the Blue Room or the Green Room in which was assembled all the information that the Air Force had put together on UFOs. So I called my friend Curt LeMay one day and I said: "What about this Curt? Can I see the stuff in there?" He curse me out in every four letter word...
MIKE MURPHY:
You remember what he said?
BARRY GOLDWATER:
I can't repeat it.
MIKE MURPHY:
Ha ha ha...
BARRY GOLDWATER:
He said: "Don't ever ask me that again and don't ever talk about it to anybody! I don't want to hear you ever mention it!" Now I...I can't say...I wont say here and say I believe in UFOs but I can tell you this. There is about 2 billion planets in this universe that we know about. How many are there universes out there? We don't know. Nobody can't tell me that this is the only planet of 2 billion...on which there are living things like people.
