Attachment to Contract Information Report - 19 July 1973
Discussion
The following briefly describes the past quarter of
activity. A proposed increase in scope of this contract
was solicited in April and received in May. Deliberation
on acceptance of the increase in scope continue until the
first week in June. Then upper management rejected the
Increase in scope and any follow-on effort. When this
rejection was relayed to SRIt an indication of a possible
overrun condition of the contract was admitted by the
technical investigator. SRI was instructed to provide
more details b r contracting group (see letter in file
SG1 I fromi "to SRI's contracting officer P. O'Donnell,
19 June IV73). Upon review of the situation with myself,
the contracting officer and a telephone conversation with
B. Cox of SRI, Mr. J. M. McMahon D/OTS determined the SRI
claim of an overrun was not justified (See Memo for the
Record, Subject: Telephone Call from Mr. Bonnar Cox of
SRI, 21 June 1973 and Memo for the Record (attached) for
complete details).
On IS July 1973 a complete package of monthly contract
status reports (attached) was obtained directly from the
principle investigator Dr. H. Puthoff These statements
were previously unavailable to us. B@. Puthoff explained
the reports were given to his contracting officert Mr. P.
O'Donnell but apparently were never released by O'Donnell.
It can be seen these financial reports don't agree with
mine because I was under the impression that a linear
spending rate was being incurred until I received these
reports.
The administrative energy dissipated on the announcement
of the rejection of further work and the scurrying to conclude
the cost overrun situation could have adversely effect pro-
gress during the last quarter. Nevertheless, the following
progress can be reported and a final report is still promised
by SRI. Correlations between correct predictions of the
off-on condition of a light physically removed and hidden
from Mr. Swann and certain characteristics brain wave
patterns were observed. This lead is being pursued as a
possible signature of successful sensing of the unexplained
biofields. Positive results were obtained when Mr. Swann
was asked to locate vertically and horizonally, the oil
pockets in a previously surveyed oil field. Also Mr. Swann

has produced a detailed description of a remote DOD site
after only being given its map coordinates. Initial
evaluation of his description is that it is impressively
accurate. These latter two observations are uncontrolled
experiments which have little scientific significance but
do suggest a wide range of possible applications for such
gifted individuals.
This contract will be completed upon receipt of final
report.
