These sources have provided reliable information in the past but the veracity of this data cannot be established by this office due to the lack of sufficient target background data. a.

Al-ter the first part, when impetus f8r the o5ject waa no longer present, the information flow reversed; output involved response/reporting. Periodic input during second part effected attitude, perhaps coursewor orientation. The entire project had the sense of "quasi-legality," as if people at the site felt the activity would be frowned on by some third party if it should become cognizant of it; that it would evoke a feelina of betrayal or unfairness, as if the activity is occurr-I-Mg even-though the ins-tigators said it wouldn't upon mutual agreement. But the people involved felt the necessity to conduct it nevertheless: i.e., "the ends justify the means." No further information was provided. b.

No further information was provided. C. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #021 was interviewed twice and was unable to provide any information which could be construed to be relevant to the tasking at hand. d. (S/SK/WNINTEL) Source #101 was interviewed twice and stated substantially as follows: Sources first opinion'~'O~ the site was that the site involved a stud inside a tV 1 1 with a 'T.u a five or six stored, -build' P4 6 mi he c bendwaomyr right angle in the I'ddle.

There were, however, certain milestones and suspenses which must be met. Sources second opinion of the site, after having been asked to elaborate on his first impress'sions, was that inside the large building there was a secure area with doubl;'-al~ors and closed circuit TV. In'this are;-C"'re were four or five people in a working group as opposed to a decision making group, although -he two functions tended to blend together. There were two main characters. One was about 60 years old, balding, thin, short almost elfin in appearance. He was very enthusiastic with a tremendous amount of energy. A second man was large, fat and in his fifties. He was very deliberate and does not become excited and cannot be rushed into anything. All the men here were civilians, although there was a military flavor to the study group. The study was composed o7m"Many separlte studies, each a complete entity unto itself. The2e se-p-ar-ff'U& studies were brought together here.
