Dear Admiral loolovskyt
I am writing In support of the work that the Coast Guard has
been doing with Mr. Carrith Pandragon.
I an a psychologist who has done extensive research on the
nature of human consciousness, with some special work In the area
generally known so parapsychology. I have been involved In this
area for over 25 years, and an convinced that some psychic
abilities have boon scientifically demonstrated, to spite of
considerable resistance from certain scientists to this area.
Further, having been a consultant on studies on renote viewing
funded by the U.S. government in the past. I knov that sometimes
this Information can be quite practically useful.
In my experience, psychic functioning Is not as reliable as
having a direct observer on the spot but, an you understand In a
command position, decisions often have to be made when there Is
not adequate Information of a conventional nature. Here I
believe psychically obtained Information, while not always
rellableg can sometimes add very Isportant,elements.
.1 understand from some private communications from Mr.
PandraSon that be has been working with one of your officer's In
a strictly private kind of way,, with no media involvement, and
that results have boon quite encouraging. I would Ilk* to
recommend that you encourage this line of -research. You may not
only accomplish somethings of great value to the Coast Guard,
but, eventually, if conditions are appropriate. be able to add
that Information to the scientific data In this area.
Sincerely yours,
Charles T, Tart, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychology
