Congressman Rose recognized the critical financial situation of the SRI
program. In response to Congressman Rose's inquiry as to what the Com-
mittee could do, Dr. Vorona commented that a strong letter to DoD should
remove the reluctance of some people to deal with the subject of psycho-
energetics.
6. (S-ORCON) In addition to further discussions of optimum funding
levels for SRI (400-500K/year), other outside sources of the capability
as well as ongoing and proposed in-house programs were discussed.

mittee be scheduled for the end of March 79.
