Approved For Release 2001/03/07 CIA-RDP96-00788RO020000,1 OOL41-8 October 25Y 1978 Dr. Walter B. LaBerge Office of the Under Secretary of the Army The Pentagon Washington, DC 20310 Dear Dr. LaBerge: Just a quick note with an additional response to your question of what was needed to move forward. We just learned from Charles Carter at MIA/MIRADCOM in Huntsville that they have on Dr. Richard Haley's desk (DARCOM) their proposal to fund one of our highest priority research projects, investigation of psychokinetic effects on random noise generators (eventual application: a thought-controlled switch). From our standpoint this experiment offers perhaps the greatest scientific potential for getting at the mechanisms; there- foreY it is at the top of our list as a research item. If this is in line with your wishes., perhaps a phone call from you to Haley could put this program into motion. I hope this information is of some help. With best regards, H. E.
