SRI/DIA Request for Parapsychological Data
SG11
Attached is a request for copies of data derived from several
experiments sponsored by the Agency over a decade ago with the
alleged psychic, Pat Price. I have a copy of one of the requested
documents, a negative analysis of Pat's statements about the URDF-3
Soviet
Las Alamos, 1976). The other requested data
has been destroyed or has receeded into the mists of OTS archives.
After a brief discussion with
SG11
I suggest we respond by
providing SRI-International with
review and note the
SG11
other data has been destroyed or archived.
(See Attached draft for
your consideration) .
Background
(DIA) called to request a
Approximately a month ago,
meeting about an "Old Contract
Knowing Jim's involvement with
GRILLFLAME, DIA's unclassified designator for parapsychological
research, I knew generally what he wanted to discuss.
We arranged
for a meeting which occurred on 12 June in my office. The meeting
included Ms. Beverly Humphey, SRI - International's principle
investigator on the DIA funded parapsychology research project.
The main objective of the meeting was to inform me they have not
made significant progress in understanding "remote viewing" and
therefore, wanted to review the best subject from past experiments,
Pat Price. Since Pat died in 1977, and I had personally worked
with him, they wanted to debrief me on my recollections of him and
his procedures as well as locate primary data records on orginal
analysis which they could review and re-analyze.
I discussed my personal recollections of various personal
methods and idiosyncrasies of Pat's and noted I no longer had access
to most of the primary data (transcripts, drawings, and audio tapes)
from Pat Price. I further suggested, that if they sent a request
for the data, I would route it to the appropriate part of the CIA.
