MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORID
SUBJECT: Discussion ConceTning the Stanford Research
Institute (SRI) Parapsychology Investip@atior-
29 April 1976 with Commander Naval Electronics
Systems Command,
1. On the basis of several telephone contacts and
the attached request, the Navy program office involved
with funding a fraction of the current SRI invertuatior
was briefed concerning the CIA sponsored work. I SG1
]was invited to attend the briefing, but was unali e
to oe present. A list of attendees is given in the
second attachment.
2. The group was told of the entire funded prograr
beginning in 1972. 14aJor results of each of the efforts
were reviewed. The internal sensitivity concerning the
project was discussed. The internal conflicts involvin,,,
the interpretation of the investigation were reviewed.
The negative evaluation of ORD/LSR was emphasized. OpeTa-
tional tests which continued after SRI funding stopped
were mentioned as producing some good and some bad results.
The group was told if theX felt they had the need to Inow
moro, they should contacti J. OTSPAAB. T@vo SG1
copies of the SRI final report were left with P,-Fr. James
Foote f M careful evaluation. Mr. Foote was told to
contacto@-@ 10KD/LSR for moze infoT-
mation about ORD's evaluation and current interest in t1iis
area.
3. The meeting ended with a description of the twrl
currently Navy funded tasks at SRI. These tas Is are both
extensions of work funded by CIA. I believe that Captain
Wheeler, Commander of the Naval Electronics Systems Comiiand,
was rather overwheli-kLed with the information presented. I
don't blieve he had any previous briefing on this subject.
