So I take it he meant “stay away." EXTREME SECRECY Through additional research I was surprised to discover the 1982 Air War College research paper presented tad the Most Significant Contribution award was on this same topic; an unclassified paper, later up- graded to classified, and then completely withdrawn. Contacts with the intelligence community for information brought back a resounding--NO, regardless of clearance or willingness to make this research effort classified. Discussions with previous DOD psi proponents warned it might be all right to do research in this academic situation, but forget it afterward or it could be unhealthy for your career. From this study and these experiences I will assume the government is pursuing psi research. I’m convinced psi has tremendous human/military applications which can be used operationally. I’m also convinced that relatively few military leaders at any level are aware of the threat. But most of my original questions remain unanswered: How much research? How well coordinated? How well funded? What priority in impending funding cuts? In addition, I’ve developed some new concerns. I expected to learn the truth about military applications of psi and current research so Approved For Release 2001/04/02 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001001420001-3 AQ / = : oA AAD LAL.
