The
head
of
the
Pentagon's
psychic
task
Assistant
Chief
of
Staff
for
Intelligence
(ACSI),
force
is
the
then
named;
MG
Thompson
.
e.
Department
of
Defense
used
psychics
to
look
for
MG
Dozier
.
f.
The
National
Security
Council
and
White
House
are
briefed
on
all developments
in
on-going
psychic
research
in
both
the
Jimmy
Carter
and
Regan
terms
of
presidential
office.
g.
PSI
had
a
direct
affect
on
the
government
decisions
with
respect
towards
the
MX
Missile
system
vulnerability
and
its
deployment.
h.
There
was
a
Project
named
SCANATE,
run
by
SRI-I,
funded
by
the
CIA
and
co-participated
in
with
the
National
Security
Agency
( NSA )
.
i.
SRI-I
' s
key
funding
support
has
come
from
the
CIA,
NASA,
ARPA
and
Military.
j.
Key
psychics
involved
in
the
past
ten
years
of
research
(both
scientific
and
operational)
at
SRI-I
are
Ingo
Swann
and
Pat
Price
(now
deceased).
k.
RV
is
being
tested
currently
at
NSA
to
break codes.
l.
All
PSI
research
(even
the
word)
is
always
classified
and
only
passed
over encrypted
or
secure
channels.
m.
The
severe
lack
of
information
throughout
the
entire
system
available
to
the
general
public,
to
include
even
unclassified
documents,
indicates
information
on
governmental
research
into
RV
or
PSI
is
being
deliberately
hidden
(and
therefore
inferred
as
not
only
valid,
but
of
unbelievable
potential )
.
4.
( S/CL-2/N0F0RN )
The
above
in
combination
with
information
provided
in
the
numerous
Jack
Anderson
columns
(which
Ron
McRae
is
know
to
be
a
staff
writer
for),
as
well
as
the
book
"MIND
RACE"
by
Russel
Targ
(who
is
referenced
in
this
book);
is
sufficient
to
provide
a
clear
trail
for
any
offensive
action
by
HOIS
which
is
targeted
towards:
a.
Establishing
the
current
state-of-the-art
in
RV
and
general
psychoenergetics.
