MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Discussions with Mr. Dale Graff of the Foreign
Technology Division (FTD) of the Wright
Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio, 20 April 1976
1. After learning of some CIA sponsored investiga-
tions into parapsychology at Stanford Research Institute
(SRI), Mr. Dale Graff, member of the FTD scientific staff,
cabled a request for more information. The request was
received through the DDS&'.-0 and D/OTS. Instructions from
D/OTS were to give FTD what information they desired.
2. Mr. Graff was met and brief&d by myself and SG1A
SG1A ]BAB concerning the history and results of CIA S
R&D ettorts in parapsychology. (Also, two copies of the
SRI final report were mailed to Mr. Graff) He was told
of the existance of experimental operational tests. No
details of the operational tests were shared. He was
SG1A told by Ithat the operational test results were
not overwnelming-Ty--good but rather a mixed bag, some very
interesting apparent hits, some total misses.
3. Mr. Graff admitted he has already committed 50K
to SRI with the intension of providing another 50K next
fiscal year. The program objective is to develop remote
viewing for applications involving FTD requirements and to
do some work on assessing the Soviet R&D in parapsychology.
FTD and consequently Mr. Graff does not have a charter
which allows him to do research. Therefore ' he was very
pleased to learn that some basic work had been done by CIA.
Even if the research was not favorably received by CIA/
ORD, it would provide guidance for his program. He was
also interested to learn about the contract administration
difficulties (final report one year late,-threats of cost
overruns, etc).

SRI directly and make suggestions if we care to.
