Dear
First, I want to express my appreciation for the opportunity we
had to brief your group some time back. I think it is appropriate that
such a committee be cognizant of continuing developments in the psycho-
energetics field.
I wish to bring to your attention some recent replications of our
remote viewing work which took place in the Psychology Department,
Mundelein College, Chicago. A completely independent group followed.
the protocols we established and obtained results very similar to our
own. (See Enclosure 1 -- a second paper by Bisaha will be sent soon.)
In addition to these two experiments, they are now writing up a third
which involved subjects tracking Professor Bisaha as he travelled
through Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, also successful.
With regard to the general development of the field, we are, of
course, elated over such replications. On the other hand, it indicates
the potential ease with which such talents can be developed and utilized
by others, and for this reason signals some concern on my part about
the catch-as-catch-can aspect of U.S. programs in this area. For this
reason, I am also enclosing a "white paper" (Enclosure 2) on what we
at SRI consider a reasonable kind of effort to pursue, not specifically
as a proposal but more as a think piece.
If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me for further discussion.
With best regards,
H. E. Puthoff, Ph.D.
