SUBJECT: Policy for SRI's ESP Research Program
It is important that SRI provide a proper and disciplined en-
vironment which can permit controversial research to be conducted
in away which will bring credit to SRI. The ESP research which
was started in ISE by Hal Puthoff and Russ Targ certainly qualifies
to many as a controversial area of activity. The Targ and Puthoff
ESP research program, now being successfully conducted in the ERS
Division, needs to have a proper policy framework for its longtime
success at SRI and the attached policy provides a framework for
conducting ESP research at SRI. It is requested that you carefully
follow the guidelines outlined in this policy.
