MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Parapsychology
1. On 21 May 1975, 1 met withi of DIA to SG1J
discuss his Agency's interest in contacting Mr. Patrick Price,
psychic. DIA's interest in Mr. Price had been stimulated by
a briefing recently given them by lof OTS, who SG1 I
outlined the several years of CIA's association with SRI's
parapsychological research program and Mr. Price's role in it.
SG1J ireports to Dr. Jack Vorona, Director of DIA's
Office of Scientific and Technical Intelligence, and is chief
of their life and behavioral sciences research program.
2. 1 outlined briefly forl the nature of our SG1J
relationship, or lack thereof, with Mr. ce since BAB moved
into the picture. I mentioned that we are still awaiting a
secret level clearance on him and discussed some overall con-
cerns about flap potential, suggesting that the press could
certainly have a field day with Mr. Price and his association
SG11 with the intelligence business. I had coordinated the visit
tol with Iliaison
SG1J with E his request I noted that our Technical Require-
ments Board was not supporting Mr. Price nor vouching for his
capabilities. At the same time, I stated that there were
people in the Agency who felt that his apparent talents were
of sufficient interest to maintain some kind of relationship
with him. I commented we were doing just that, had invited him
to town once during the past several months to participate in
a real life operational exercise and planned to do that again
on occasion in the future when the right operational situation
presented itself. I said that after a half dozen or so of
these exercises we should have a better fix on whether or not
Mr. Price's talents can contribute anything in an operational
sense.
SG1J 3. 1 toldi tha our relationship with Mr. Price
was informal, that we ha. no contract with him and that Mr.
Price was free to work with DIA or anyone else if he chose to
do so. At the same time, I cautioned that Mr. Price seemed
to dig us and would probably give us first option on his
services. Finally, I toldi _J that I would prefer him SG1J
to deal directly with Mr. Price. I offered to broker an

invitation at some point, but suggested that after that we would
prefer not to serve as middle man between DIA and Price.
SG1J 4. 1 had no particular problems with any of the
above. He said that Dr. Vorona and the Deputy Director/DIA
plan to go to Director/DIA to -suggest contact with Price. De-
pending on D/DIA's reaction, F may or may not be back SG1J
in touch with me.
