Approved For Release 2003/08/08 : CIA-RDP79-00999A000300100005-6 OTS/CB Memo #76-86 4 May 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT : Discussion Concerning the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) Parapsychology Investigation 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 investigation was briefed concerning the CIA sponsored work. was invited to attend the briefing, but was unable to be present. A list of attondees is given in the second attachment. 2. The group was told of the entire funded program beginning in 1972. Major results of each of the efforts were reviewed. The internal sensitivity concerning the project was discussed. The internal conflicts involving the interpretation of the investigation were reviewed. The negative evaluation of ORD/LSR was emphasized. Opera- tional tests which continued after SRI funding stopped were mentioned as producing some good and some bad results. The group was told if they felt they had the need to know more, they should contact OTS/BAB. Two SG11 copies of the SRI final report were left with Mr. James Foote for his careful evaluation. Mr. Foote was told to contact ORD/LSR for more infor- mation about ORD's evaluation and current interest in this area. 3. The meeting ended with a description of the two currently Navy funded tasks at SRI. These tasks are both extensions of work funded by CIA. I believe that Captain Wheeler, Commander of the Naval Electronics Systems Command, was rather overwhelmed with the information presented. I don't blieve he had any previous briefing on this subject.
