SUajzcr: Inquiry Concerning Research on ESP, Telepathy, etc. (5 Jul 66)
1. In checking on your inquiry at various points within CIA, the following
information has been developed. The major scientific literature in this field.
appears to be indexed in Psychological Abstracts and Index Medicus, Readings
vary somewhat but these are relevant: Extra-sensory perception, telepbiily,
clairvoyance, parapsychology, psychical research, hypnosis and possibly electro?
narcosis. These publications may be available at the NSA Library, but more
probably they are not. Significant foreign journals are indexed as well as
those of the U.S. From a cursory examination of them, it is my opinion that
it would be more advantagq pus for you to research them personally rather than
having it done for you. There has been quite a lot published, but there are
so many facets to the problem that you could most easily determine those items
of specific interest. On the other hand, you may have already used these at
the Library of Congress.
2. An intellofax listing pertaining to intelligence documents was requested
and received, but since there were no references specifically pertinent to your
subject. It is not being forwarded. The subject coding only goes to the broader
headings of "psychology" and Nneuropbysiology". However, still pending for you
is a request for a listing of any translations which may have been indexed by
the Foreign Documents Division of CIA which may be relevant. It will be forwarded
when received or you will be informed if the results are negative.
3. Another possible source for this type of information which has been
suggested is the National Library of Medicine. According to my informant, it
has the capability to prepare bibliographic runs on g
iven medical subjects.
In addition, it will supply upon request at no charge
reproduced copies of
articles from publications in its collection in lieu
of loans provided the
requester supplies a complete citation. Mr.
C313/ NSA Library (b)(3)
(139293), can assist bou with this if you choose.
nce no also handles NSA
requests for information and loans at the Library of Congress, he is familiar
with the rather extensive medical collection there and says he has seldom
found it necessary to contact the National Library of Medicine, but he can
advise you or take whatever action is needed,
4. All issues of Applied Science and Techn2LW Index from 1961 ??
1966 (June) were checked. Attached are two references taken from it. The
journals in which they appear should be available at NSA. You may find the
Reader's Guide useful although generally references there are from more
popular literature.

If in the course of, your research, you develop names of leaders
in this ayes (Russian, primarily), it would be possible to ci ~,~bliographic
references frost biographic files which mw be maintained on . 'f,, can
subait'digs, either individually or as a list.
6. it is hoped that the foregoing will be helpful if not conclusive.
If there is a further aspect of the problem that can be explored here, please
lot ms know.
