is put forward with
the hope
that
it will stimulate
discussion and dialogue among management
and technical personnel
to arrive
at
a strategy that can be
implemented
at
a future
time.
First,
one must consider
the
evidence presented by
a
proponent of paranormal research.
The body of evidence
itself
should be
a consideration
for
the justification of research
into
the
area.
The volume
of evidence,
the number of observers
of similar evidence,
and
the commonality of observation should
all be qualitatively evaluated by impartial observers
to
arrive
at
some construct of opinion regarding
the paranormal
phenomenon.
Some critical
aspects
of
the body of evidence should
include
the presence
of witnesses
to
the
claimed observations
which are being presented
as
evidence.
Probably the most
compelling
type
of evidence would be
first hand evidence pre-
sented by
the proponent
of such research.
Additionally,
one
should consider
the
level
of training
and experience
of
the
observer.
This
is not meant
to
imply
in
any way that someone
not trained
as
a scientist
is
incapable
of making
an observa-
tion which
is
of major importance.
However,
the observation
of phenomena by trained and experienced observers
should be
considered much more heavily than by
the naive
observer.
Another critical
aspect of the data presented
as evidence
t
for
a paranormal phenomenon must be
the
reproducibility

C. MAY (SRI International)
Experimental laboratory work continues to provide evidence
for the existence of so-called psi processes,
a class of in-
teractions between conciousness and the physical world as
yet unexplained.
These include
1)
the acquisition of infor-
mation not presented to any obvious
sense,
and 2)
the pro-
duction of physical effects not mediated by any obvious mechj
anism. At SRI we have concentrated primarily on the former,
investigating a phenomenon we call "remote viewing," the
ability of certain individuals
to access and describe,
by
means of mental processes,
information blocked from ordinary
perception by distance or shielding.
Our data base consists
of >100 experiments in the remote viewing of targets ranging
from objects
in nearby light-tight cannisters to geographic
sites at transcontinental distances,
viewed from locations
which include shielded Faraday cages and a submerged subma-
rine.
Data from these observations
Indicate that models put
forward to explain psi processes must account
for bit rates
«10~* bits/s,
resolution •'mm,
apparent ineffectiveness of
or-f
dinary electrical shielding,
and relative insensitivity to
distance up
to VUr* km. Although such phenomena might appear
to be in conflict with the laws of physics, we anticipate
that much of the data will in all probability be accounted
for either within the framework of physics as presently un-
derstood,
or on the basis of conservative extrapolations
that have been proposed to account for other
(non-psi)
data,
and that,
conversely,
the psi data base may shed light on
some of the current problems
in physics.

Dear

Thank you for your time and cooperation in helping us reconstruct the Pat Price data
base.
We are interested in providing an in-depth evaluation of the Price data, and your
contribution to
this effort has already proven invaluable.
(S/NF)
In the course of our meeting on
12 June 1986, you mentioned several documents that
would be useful to us.
Specifically, these included:
the original memo
(written by you)
outlining the protocols that
were used in the PNUTS experiment
the document provided by the NPIC analyst assessing the
accuracy
(using a 3 point scale)
of Price’s data on PNUTS
a similar analysis document written by
Alamos
at Los
the code word level critique authored by
Virginia
site
on the West
an analysis of
that were carried
out on a double blind basis; any audio tapes pertaining to these
experiments
any assessments of experiments in which feedback was not
provided to Price
•
any other original data and/or analyses that you consider to be
useful to our mission.
(S/NF)
At your earliest convenience, we would appreciate your sending us the titles of as many
of these documents as possible, so that DIA can request them from your organization
(or other
organizations where applicable).
Also, we hope that you can provide us the name and address to
which the DIA request should be sent.
(S/NF)
If
it
is possible, we would like to have a follow-up meeting with you on the Price data,
after we have had the opportunity to examine some of this additional documentation and to
formulate new lines of inquiry.
At that time, or at a later date, we would also like to brief you

I have a copy of one of the requested documents, a negative analysis of Pat's statements about the URDF-3 Soviet [ies Alamos, 1976). The other requested data has been destroyed or has receeded into the mists of OTS archives. After a brief discussion with I_ suggest we respond by SG1I providing SRI-International wi review and note the SG1 other data has been destroyed or . Attached draft for your consideration). Background Approximately a month ager [ __] (ota) called to request a meeting about an "Old Contract". nowing Jim's involvement with GRILLFLAME, DIA's unclassified designator for parapsychological research,.I knew generally what he wanted to discuss. We arranged for a meeting which occurred on 12 June in my office. The meeting included Ms. Beverly Humphey, SRI - International's principle investigator on the DIA funded parapsychology research project. The main objective of the meeting was to inform me they have not made significant progress in understanding "remote viewing" and therefore, wanted to review the best subject from past experiments, Pat Price. Since Pat died in 1977, and I had personally worked with him, they wanted to debrief me on my recollections of him and his procedures as well as locate primary data records on orginal analysis which they could review and re-analyze. I discussed my personal recollections of various personal methods and idiosyncrasies of Pat's and noted I no longer had access to most of the primary data (transcripts, drawings, and audio tapes) from Pat Price. I further suggested, that if they sent a request for the data, I would route it to the appropriate part of the CIA.
