           SUBJECT: (S) Request for Funding, FY 79, Re: Parapsychology Feasibility
 for a Hard Copy "Remote ViewinC.Machine
 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: E. H. Walker
 OBJECTIVE: (S) To determine feasibility of developing automatic equip-
 ment capable of producing remote viewing in hard copy form
 BACKGROUND: (S) Evidence exists that individuals can, through para-
 psychological means, acquire information in regard to remote targets.
 Extensive studies have been carried out at SRI International to
 establish the existence and utility of this "remote viewing" capability.
 In remote viewing a subject forms a mental "image" of
 the desired remote location. Hard Copy information is obtained by means
 of verbal description and sketches produced by the subject. The quality
 of this information would be greatly enhanced if an accurate replica
 of the mental image could be provided, or better yet, if the original
 image generated were formed in hard copy - as, for example, on a TV
 monitor.
 (U) Development of equipment having this capability might
 have the same utility in any future conflict as that of the Ultra
 machine used in WWII.
 (C) Some experimental data in the field of parapsychology indicates
 such equipment could be developed. The principal considerations that
 have been established are:
                                 theory
 (1) The same principles of information/used to enhance the
 signal to noise ratio in radio communications can be applied to para-
 psychological phenomena.

     (2) PK effects on physical devices used in computers to
     generate (true) random number sequences can be employed to produce
     physical records of parapsychological events rather than using a subject
     as one receiver. (The translation of PK effects on a random number
     generator into a target image automatically if the proper formating of
     information is used. This arises from the third principle of psi-
     phenomena given below).
     (3) Psi-phenomena are goal or target directed. This means
     that the subject does not need any knowledge as to how the target informa-
     tion or target image is produced, but.must only be able to recognize
     the target state or image when it appears.
     (C) While these principles assure that remote viewing images
     can be formed in hard copy, sufficient information does not yet exist
     to establish the time required to produce an image. Estimates are
     computed in the attached report.
     PROCEDURE: The above principles have been use to design a device that
     if built is expected to have the hard copy capability sought. A separate
     report (attached) gives details of this device. Feasibility can most
     readily be determined using this equipment as it is flexible enough to
     be operated in a variety of modes..
