SG1 I
SG1 I left the following message:
The request for the addition of =to OST's contract SG1 B
with SRI to study paranormal activities has been denied
by Mr. Colby. No further action is to be pursued.
This message was relayed to us by I who SG1 I
had received it from Dr. Steininger.
29 May 73
ADDE'NDA:
SG11 Spoke tol of OST on this date. He had also just received the message
and had little to add other than thati (DC/OST) had told him that Both SG11
Colby & Shlesinger had decided that, because of the publicity SRI & Swann & Geller
had received,, it would be too dangerous for the Agency to stay involved with them.
Allegedly, their decision was not made on substantive issues & there may be some
chance that research with and through other facilities might be favorably considered.
SG11 is going to call SRI today to let them know & I offered to call as well if he
feels that it will be useful. There will be no conitnuation of their project, either;
the irony is that by our kicking it over Ele invoked the higher authority review.SG1 B
SG11 I suggested to that we draft a memo up thru channels asking for substantive
guidance in the whole area & he agreed to endorse it.
