They're a..used to store....and carry...... some sort of a...some sort of tubing or rods of about a quarter inch in diameter, with a ..a plastic coatings of rubber and plastic coatings. ....Some I see...hollow...and in other sections I see..a...the steel rods, the size of the tubing, except it's pure metal, brownish coated, rust looking. #66: Okay. #08: There's question of a.....of fibers, fiberglass fibers.........and a...(mumble) to a electronics and communication. .......And the coming together of all this stuff and determining what to use and how much of it to use..a to accomplish a..a communication (mumble), in an electronic communication (mumble) #66: Okay, I'd like you to draw this for me later.

Again, the (mumble) supposed to determine what to..mix together, in one cable, according to a specified objective and how much this stuff is going to carry. #66: All right. Concentrate and focus your attention now on the second floor of the building in the photograph, on the second floor of the building in the photograph, on the second floor of the building in the photograph and describe your perceptions to me. #08: Okay, the first thing I get is that, that area is very squashy, squishy, the, the...sides of the building at that point come in and (mumble) ...The walls are they're slanted in, as in an attic,... Basic construction. Let me look around a little bit. .........I see this as a.. admin area with a hallway in the center, ..a ...a ....great deal of glass partitions,...old a... varnished ....a bottom half of the partition. ......I see about four or..five offices on each side of this corridor. It's not all that, but it's principally that. #66: Okay. Now these rooms off the corridor. #08: Yeah. #66: Let's go into one of them and see if it isn't something you didn't expect to find. #08: .............Well, I bumped into a..... a couple of a......hell,...other people in a..white, looking ...through a. . .microscopic type apparatus and they're looking into fibers....and that's just one Approved For Release 2000/08/ lurlz; IF R 0260001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 :CIA-RD 6 0 01900260001-4 room. ...............I know the room is, has, looking into the aspects of the covering of what we've been discussing, the actual cover. #66: Okay.

Approved For Release 2000/0`iFM$8R001900260001-4 Approved For Release 2000/ NPR001900260001-4 #08: Okay in this sketch entitled carriers, all right. After I got into the building that seemed that held my attention and wouldn't let go was that of yellow tubing carriers on wheels that whose purpose it was to carry two types of specific items. The lower portion of it were long steel rods, not that long, maybe 8, 10 feet in length on the carriers. And they looked very brownish, as if rusted, but they weren't of course. It was just their appearance. And the top portion of the carrier was ladened with these plastic, rubberized coated coverings. They looked like tubings and what they really were, were coverings for some type of wiring. Later on this was, and I now forget at what point in the session, the idea of a mixture of fiberglass fibers. All this related to communications with a purpose of, again later on in the session, a determination of what, with size and how how to use of each item to carry a communication or electronic current or beeping of current toward something. The was the gist of what I saw. #66: So how do you feel about this session now? #08: I was confused in the building, because I had a very high, high ceiling. It was almost like an open area. And you talked about stories and I hadn't paid attention to the story, I kept looking down and I couldn't see anything underneath. So then I went up and went into that other section with rooms much as I described them. #66: Okay. What kind of, how you feel in terms of comparing this session with other sessions, confidence level and so forth? #08: It was trying to tell me something, it wasn't a literal session, okay. #66: Um, um. #08: I am very confident about the electronic and communication aspect and the attempt to resolve the substance, the amount of substance to be used in this thing.

How it came to tell me this, is something else. #66: Okay. Well, that may be relevant. Anything else? #08: No, I don't have anything else. #66: Okay. r Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : , ..001900260001-4 ` Approved For Release 2000/08/0 Approved For Release 2000/08 - Approved For Release 2000/08/0 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 _ -GIQ f 9 0,7 001900260001-4
