A large number of prestigious

institutions,

universities
are exploring the Psycboenergetic phenomena.
Among
them are
Princeton, Boeing Corporation,
Duke University,

several
days

an
SRI
Subject was given only
a Xerox copy
of
the Pentagon badge
that belongs
to
Dr.
Kramar,
head of AMSAA
s
labs.
Details
are not known,
but evidently Dr.
Kramar was accurately " tracked"
b.
The Dean of Princeton University’s Engineering Department described
his
first
experience with Psychocnergetics
in
a recent paper.
(Note:
copy
to be
provided
to
the CSA/VCS
for personal
use.)
Although he drew
no
final
conclusions,
it
is
clear
that he
is
not
a skeptic.

2.
There
is
a slight chance of
fraud,
if reasonable care
in
the selection
of
institutions
and
Individuals
is not
taken.
Good experimental design and
dealing with quality institutions will minimize
this
possibility.
3.
If the set of phenomena
are real,
the possibility of physical harm by
hostile
intelligence
to Subjects
like 11,
must be considered.
4.
Lax security precautions
could provide
IIOIS valuable
information about
US military capabilities
in Psycho energetics
(S/NOFORN)
GAINS:
1.
These are
too numerous
to
list,
and
for
the most
part are obvious.
It
is recognized,
however,
that all Psychoenergetic applications
are hardly
known.
2.
The capability
to perform accurately even one
of
the. phenomena
like
Remote Viewing,
is beyond
the normal concept of worth.
(S/NOFORN)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.
That
the Army develop
a rational,
comprehensive program
to
examine military
applications of Psychoenergetics,
and
that OACSI have
DA Staff proponency.
,
2.
That PARCOM should take
the
lead
in developing
the program for Army,
and
that IKS COM work closely with DAKCOM
in that
effort.
3.
That Army,
Insofar
as
possible, work within a DOD framework,
to
insure,
that
scarce resources
are carefully
tended
and
that
no unnecessary duplication
of work occurs.
A,
That
the
entire
project be given
the
strictest
security
envelope..
5.
All records
should clearly reflect
that Army
is
not
sponsoring any sort
of "mind
control"
experiments , but
is dealing only
in
those areas
of
legitimate
mil itary
concern,
6.
That
AC SI aud stall keep the CSA/VCS
current
