Harold E. Puthoff (S'59-M'61) was born in
Chicago, IL, on June 20, 1936. Ile received the
B.E.E. and M.S.E. degrees from the University
of Florida, Gainesville, in 1958 and 1960, re-
spectively, and the Ph.D. degree from Stanford
University, Stanford, CA, in 1967.
In 1959, he joined the Sperry Electronic
Tube Division, Gainesville, FL, where he did re-
search on electron-beam focusing systen's for
microwave tubes In 1960, he was a commis-
sioned officer in the U.S. Navy and was assigned
to a research organization of the Department of Defense (Ft. Meade,
MD), where he worked on nonlinear devices and optical components
for use in high-speed computers. In 1963, he joined the Hansen Labo-
ratory of Physics, Stanford University, where he was engaged in research
on lasers and nonlinear optics, coauthoring (with R. H. Pantell) a text-
book on lasers, Fundamentals of Quantum Electronics (New York:
Wiley, 1969), and serving on the faculty as Lecturer in the Department
of Electrical Engineering. In 1972, he joined the staff of Stanford Re-
search Institute (SRI), Menlo Park, CA, as a Senior Researcher in the
Electronics and Bioengineering Laboratory, where he is presently en-
gaged in research in quantum physics and parapsychological phenomena.
Dr. Puthoff is a member of Sigma Tau, Sigma Xi, and the Parapsy-
chological Association of the American Association for the Advance-
ment of Science.

David Slepian (A'52-M'57-SM'60-F'62) was
born in Pittsburgh, PA, on June 30, 1923. He
attended the University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor, from 1941 to 1943, and received the
M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees, both in physics,
from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, in
1946 and 1949, respectively.
In 1943, he entered the U.S. Army and served
in the Signal Corps until 1946. Since 1950, he
has been a member of the Mathematics Re-
seach Center of Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill,
NJ. During the academic year 1958-1959, he was a Visiting Mackay
Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He currently is
Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Hawaii, Hono-
lulu, and spends every second academic year there on leave from Bell.
He has worked in a variety of areas of applied mathematics and has
served as Consultant on many Dell System projects. His main field
of interest is information theory.
Dr. Slepian is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of
the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He has served several
times on the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Information Theory
Group, and was Editor of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE during 1969
and 1970.

Russell Targ (M'63-SM'70) was born in Chicago,
IL, on April 11, 1934. He received the B.S. de-
gree in physics from Queens College, New York,
NY, in 1954, and did graduate work in physics
at Columbia University, New York.
Hlis early work was done in the development
of the laser and laser communications at micro-
wave frequencies. He has contributed to the
technology of ultrahigh vacuum and is the in-
ventor of a tunable plasma oscillator at micro-
wave frequencies. His recent laser research
included development of a multikilowatt compact self-contained CO2
laser, together with related techniques to achieve high-power visible
and ultraviolet lasers. In 1972, he joined the Stanford Research Insti-
tule (SRI), Menlo Park, CA, as a Senior Research Physicist, with u
specialty in lasers and plasma research, as well as parapsychological and
paraphysical phenomena.
has been Professor of Electrical Engineering since 199
research interest include acoustooptics, electrooptics, la
tion technology, surface acoustic waves, integrated
imaging, and wave interactions with moving boundaries.
