MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Security Review of "THE MIND RACE" (U)
1. (U) Reference; THE MIND RACE, Understanding and Using
Psychic Abilities; by Russell Targ and Keith Harary; Random
House (Villard Books); 1984.
2. (C) Ref: Page 5, paragraphs 3 & 4; Russell Targ
specifically states; "The U.S. government has been supporting a
psi research program at SRI International (formerly Stanford
Research Institute) in Menlo Park, Clifornia, for more than ten
years. This multimillion-dollar program has been exploring
techniques to increase the accuracy and reliability of a human
perceptual ability known as remote viewing." "Both authors have
been active in laboratory psi research since the early 1970's,
at SRI and elsewhere."
3. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) Ref; Page 15, paragraphs 2 & 3; and
Illustration page 16; Specific reference is made to a remote
viewing session with illustration which was performed by Remote
Viewer #01 (CENTER LANE), no name or source is mentioned.
4. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) Ref; Page 59 & 60, paragraphs 6, & 1, 2, 3,
4, & 5; and Illustration page 61; Specific reference is made to
a remote viewing session with illustration which was performed
by Remote Viewer #36 (CENTER LANE), no name or source is
mentioned.
5. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) With regard to the above paragraphs; it is
the opinion of the undersigned that there is no direct security
threat towards CENTER LANE Project by the book as published.
However; it is the opinion of the undersigned that the original
agreement with Dr.'s Puthoff and Targ stipulated that under no
condition would any material produced or developed during
training at SRI-I be released to anyone without specific request
and approval of the CENTER LANE Project Office. To my knowledge
such approval was never requested or obtained. This event could
thereby be construed as a "Bad Practice" with regard to
security, although in itself not a specific security breech.
