It is recognized that a minimum of 450K per year is necessary to maintain an
`adequate program at SRI International for the first year. Currently, only 390K

tional funds are forthcoming, the DIA will prepare a Joint Service contract
for FY81 in the amount of 390K. This contract will be for a 12 month period,
with options to continue for a second or third year. It is recognized that
each participant reserves the right to discontinue participation in this pro-
gram at the end of each fiscal year. When the funds become available addi-
tional contracts will be developed. Contracts not to exceed 30K in the first
year will be established to initiate investigation of psychokinetics.
