MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, TSD/BATS
1. Attached is a cony of a letter providing some brck-
ground on the ESP caper, which I mentioned to you. It wts
given to me by the engineer in Applied Physics
Branch who is in touch with Dr. iuthof f .
briefed who was, according to
very excited about the w e thing. He encouraged
to pursue it, and I plans to come up with
of D&E money to fund some additional experiments by Dr.
Puthoff.
3. II has also been in touch with Life Sciences
Division of DDS&T, and reports that they have a very active
interest in the ESP field, and have been collecting data for
some time. They had heard of Ingo Swann and are interested
in following his activities. According to 0 they glso
said that they have a consultant who reports to them phenom-
ena in the field, and that a number of Government agencies
are
now getting involved
4. and somebody named 0 from Life Sciences
are plane ng a trip to the West Mast on 11 August, when
they will meet Ingo Swann and have a chance to watch him
flex his sphincter. He invited someone from BAB to join
the group. I took the liberty of saying that we would be
a little thin on personnel during that time, but would be
interested in hearing what happened when he returns. Fi-
nally, he mentioned that Life Sciences is planning on
forming a "coordinating committee" to work on ESP and the
data that is coming in, and they are saving us a slot on
the committee.
