Between the last indicated date(9 April 1952) and mid-October 1952, and the writer/conducted Artichoke experimentation n two geparste trips. The first trip was in June and the second trip extended from mid-August to early September. In view of these trips and in view of the additional work and confusion resulting from preparations for the trips, it was agreed by all hands in both' instances to abaondon the H experimentation during the summer.

After returning from and the writer held a series of conferences concerning the H experimentation with BabeBannerman and it was decided that. theexperimentation should not only begin again, but it should be broadened and the experiments made more complicated and more of an operational type. Mrwbannermanysupported thesè proposals and stated that he was certain that would now give consent to more complicated experiments, particularly due to the fact that I&SO was now to completely control. the Artichoke work ànd that OSI was no longer to be the controlling influ-1 ence.

band the writer agreed to conduct work along two separate lines. The first would be a continuation of basic experiments with new personnel and the second involving the more advanced type of work with thoroughly experienced individuals, particularly in regard to travel and operations involving long-range control both as to time and to space.. It was als agreed that H experimentation would begin at once.
