MEMO FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT
Telecon with Mr TARG of SRI
1. Called SRI at 1330 hrs this date and told Russ Targe that funds for the
SG11
project extension had been approved and that
contract people would be
in touch with them in due course. He was pleased and stated that they would be
starting work with Geller on 23 April (the delay due, presumably, to the Jewish
holidays).
2. He asked me if we would send out some materials for them to work with but
I told him we'd rathers stick to the scenario in my letter -- i.e., that they establish
the new procedures with Geller from scratch (i.e., double-blind, delayed feedback)
using their own materials; then, when we know how that is working out, we will
prepare appropriate materials here and send them to SRI. Targ agreed to this
procedures and also promised to send us copies of the SRI material requested in
my letter.
I asked whether any of the earlier envelope-work with Geller
had been on the double-blind basis and he said that only one had been done in
that fashion -- and that Geller had had no difficulty with it.
