M'ra..MORAN UM FOR: TIC nr,coao SUDJECT : Trip Report, Visit to 7 ApriI.1933 9 April 1958 1. The purpose of this trie was to make arrangements for closing out the project, ired been given arr,ple previous notice that oucn was likely to be the. intent of the vieit,_and he pared hinieelf accordingly, Z. It_was explained t that it would not be possible to carry over fund beyond the end of the corrent fiscal year. Therefore all work would have to be completed and all pay. inents made prior to 30 JUtte- This -deadline appeared acce,ptable to - hirn, and it waa agreed that I-woUld make tray final visit there to receive reports and attend to final details on-16-3uno, 415.11did not have a current financial report,-but he estimatet:1 that funds currently cn hand would be about sufficient for relnaining expendituree. agreed to send the Society witAin the next 10 &eye a more exact state. meat of current balance and estimated remaining expenditures. 1 tried to impress on hint etrongly that transfer of additional fuds and/ or return of unexpended fonds must be completed well before the end of the fiscal year. 3. Of tho 30 cases called for in the original deeign 13 have been completed (but only 4 have been transcribed from the tapes). In addition there are 8 cases in pro 039 (of which two are already in interview and_6_are worked up to the point of hAving the lists of (1uestions prepared). It was agreed that to meet the deadline we would have to limit the dooign to those Z6 cases. 4. It lo apparent that is so lovolved in the administrative problenae of the project that he is not paying any attention to the results. Since to date only 4 cases have been transcribed there is no way of telliki What is Corning out of it. I assume there were no dramatic reactions, be- cause the interviewers would have let him kaow about them had they claered. It is poesible, however, that our own analysis of the data may dredge up something of value, although I am dubious on this point. 5. gave me hio usual long involved talk on the difficulties he had encountered which account-for the delays. He also talked at ISOM() lemph about his "experiments" with hypnosis, some aspects of whl h arc rciiidly hair-raisiug. Finally he made quite a pitch for contiuuing �me such project as this next year, "with realis;ic, specific deadlines." I told hirn we would discuss possibilities after tho prescnt project was completed and we had a chance to closely exarrtine the take. 4711a:'.7.h.'1,1411 - ( 3 )t 14 12,eby cortificd _car;r0.140-w 390., 01, r-3. 4 t`,.. have; tnen 6ati 'Turd!), Date t or..!)itrc=j,:ic t = 1%4d -6 t also_ Lndc, 4 rkg-idy 1ot.,3 t itt CIPC tett that th 4716th I t-S�aa 011 1 of wiLprojoct 124 be tho; 61.1:1;isprO,11-Itts.
