SUBJECT: Parapsychology
1. On 21 May 1975, I met with of DIA to
discuss his Agency's interest in contacting Mr. Patrick Price,
psychic. DIA's interest in Mr. Price had been stimulated by
a briefing recently given them by of OTS, who
outlined the several years of CIA's association with SRI's
parapsychological research program and Mr. Price's role in it.

prefer not to serve as middle man between DIA and Price.
