SUBJECT: Operational Use of Paranormals in Police Activities
1. Two paranormal subjects being tested at Stanford Research
Haves'
Institute (SRI) 4.a-s produced impressive data on axp??Em police cases.
The first involves the Patricia Hearst kidnapping and the second
involves a Stanford University student homicide. The data for these
cases was generated spontaneously in an uncontrolled field environment.
The generation of the homicide data was witnessed by
OTS/CRB. An evaluation of the data is independently given in the SG1I
attached memoranda from a second party interview to the Alameda
County District attorney's office and the police officer in charge
of the homicide case.
2. During the past year of investigations at SRI, several stories
am of aid being given by people with paranormal ability to police
in San Francisco area were related to myself by the SRI investigators,
Dr. Puthoff and Mr. Targ. My personal knowledge of these activities
has remained anecdotal for several reasons. One xampt compelling
reason is that even the appearance of CIA involvement with domestic
police operations is a political explosive association. This fact
Approved For Release 2003/09/04: CIA-RDP96-00787R000200130013-4
has kept me from attempting direct varification of the SRI claims.

~ l--her involves Mr. Pat Price and the Rxxi Patricia Hearst
kidnapping as described in the first attachment. The night after
the kidnapping and before any publicity occurred, Mr. Price's help
was solicited by the Alameda police. Mr. Price provided a significant
amount of data, including identification of people later proven to
be involved. This interaction was taped by our principal investigators,
Puthoff and Targ, and has been varified by the Electronics and Bio-
engineering group leader at SRI, Mr. E. Jones. All this documentation
is available for our inspection.
4. The second case has occurred more recently. The results
are described in the second attachment. This case is of interest
because of the presence of an OTS officer,
witnessed the sessions. A separate description is being prepared

SG1I
claimed results and more are varified.

two subjects we have under test. The subjects produced operationally
