for ORD.
In order to apprise
you of

I have
enclosed a detailed bibliography of the documents.
If your
request relates
to a desire to review further the material
itself,
we can arrange to have an extra copy generated at
some point during the study.
Let me know soon if this
is
necessary since
it will entail a lot of photocopying.
The already unclassified material listed in the
bibliography was given to AIR on 14 June.
We are still
in
the process
of reviewing and declassifying the remaining
material,
and this will be given to AIR in order of priority
should they desire
it.
They may not even request
it
if once
they have examined it they feel that
it
is not necessary to

One is led to speculate that the Biblical elements in these three drawings are perhaps associational material triggered by the target. The target picture for Experiment 4 was drawn by an experimenter while he was inside the shielded room,with Mr. Geller outside the room with another experimenter. In this case the target (Fig. 1(d)) was a representation of the solar system. Mr. Geller's response to the target while outside the room coincides quite well with the target drawing. In Experiment 5, the person-to-person link was eliminated by arranging for a scientist outside the usual experimental group to draw a picture, lock it in the shielded room before Mr. Geller's arrival at SRI, and leave the area. Mr. Geller was then led by the experimenters to the shielded room and asked to draw the picture inside the room. He said that he got no clear impression and therefore did not submit a drawing. The elimination of the person-to-person link was examined further in the second series of experiments with this subject, which is described later. Experiments 6 and 7 were carried out while we recorded Mr. Geller's EEG during his efforts to perceive the target pictures. The target pictures were, respectively, a tree and an envelope. He found it difficult to hold adequately still for good EEG records, said that the experienced difficulty in getting impressions of the targets, and again submitted no drawings. For Experiment 8, the target picture was a camel and Mr. Geller's response was a horse (Fig. 1l(e)). In Experiment 9, the target was a bridge. Mr. Geller's drawing bears some resemblance to the target (Fig. 1(£)), but before seeing the target picture he stated that he did not know what the picture was.

The purpose of the applied research effort is to explore experimentally the potential for applications of perceptual abilities of interest, with special attention given to accuracy and reliability. The purpose of the basic research effort is to identify the characteristics of individuals possessing such abilities, and to identify neurophysiological correlates and basic mechanisms involved itn such functioning. If PROGRESS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD A. Applied Research 1, Remote Viewing A number of efforts were begun with respect to obtaining further information concerning remote viewing phenomena. First, an experiment has been designed in consultation with SRI psychologists which will yield precise statistical data as to discrimination ability. Ten sites known to the subject are to be visited in random sequence by a target demarcation team. The subject must then make a choice as to which site is being visited, in addition to providing descriptive material for content analysis. 1 Approved For Release 2003/04/18 : CIA-RDP96-00791R000200040003-0

Central Control An extremely important facet of any Operationally active unit is central control. All requests for data Must be reviewed by this central control and all data Produced by such 4 group must pass through this same control. Critica] to being a successful unit is Problem selection, That is, many requests for information must be returned to the cus- tomer without going to; the Operational unit, There are a variety of reasons for this.

series
of
targets
from around
the globe were supplied
to
the experimenters
by
SRI personnel on
a double-blind basis.
In our estimation,
Mr.
Swann’s
ability
to describe correctly details
of buildings,
roads,
bridges,
and
the
like indicated
that he could perceive remote locations,
sometimes
in
great
detail,
given only
their geographic latitude and
longitude.
Thus,
we considered
the descriptions were sufficiently accurate
to warrant
our
setting up
a research program in remote viewing.
We present here the results
of
a remote viewing experiment,
carried
out with
a second subject
in
the remote viewing program,
Mr.
Pat Price,
a former California police commissioner and
city
councilman.
This
experi-
ment
consisted, of
a series of double-blind,
demons tration-of-ability
tests
involving local
targets
in
the
San Francisco Bay area which could be
documented by several
independent
judges.
We planned
the experiment
considering
that natural geographical places
or man-made sites
that have
existed
for
a
long
time are more potent
targets
for paranormal perception
experiments
than are artificial
targets prepared
in
the laboratory.
This
is based on
the opinions
of Mr.
Swann and Mr.
Price
that
the use
of
artificial
targets
involves
a "trivialization of
the ability"
as
compared
with natural pre-existing
targets.
In each
of nine experiments
involving Mr.
Price
as remote-viewing
subject and
SRI experimenters
as
a target demarcation
team,
a remote
location was
chosen
in
a double-blind protocol.
Mr.
Price, who remained
at
SRI,
was asked
to describe
this remote location,
as well
as whatever
activities might be going on there.
