Approved For Re1W 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787ROO0200020034-3 March 7, 1978 SG1 I SGFOIA3 SG1 I Dear I am writing to request that you return to us the original tape casettes of the Price-crane experiment. SG11 In our original agreement with =we were to archive all of the original data in our files so that it would continue to be available for further research., and we were to supply =with duplicates. In SG11 the case of these Price tapes, however, we were in a time bind and therefore submitted our originals. If you need copies for your files, I am certainly willing to take responsibility to duplicate them for you. The reason I wish to get them back, beyond having complete data in our archives, is that we believe we have developed a set of linguistic indicators which permit us to begin to discriminate as to what is correct and what is incorrect in remote viewing transcripts. We are now in the process of checking our hypothesis by passing old trans- cripts through our discrimination sieve, and we are especially anxious to reexamine our best transcripts from the past. I believe there is nothin igular in our request, as you can SG11 determine by talking withELrand we sorely need the data to help us evaluate our new discrimination procedures. With best regards, H.
