had received it from Dr. Steininger.
The request for the addition of =to OST's contract
with SRI to study paranormal activities has been denied
by Mr. Colby. No further action is to be pursued.
This message was relayed to us by who
left the following message:

SG1I
Spoke to
of OST on this date. He had also just received the message
and had little to add other than that
SG1 B
SG1I
(DC/OST) had told him that Both S G11
Colby & Shlesinger had decided that, because of the publicity SRI & Swann & Geller
had received, it would be too dangerous for the Agency to stay involved with them.
Allegedly, their decision was not made on substantive issues & there may be some
chance that research with and through other facilities might be favorably considered.
S G11 I is going to call SRI today to let them know & I offered to call as well if he
feels that it will be useful. There will be no continuation of their project, either;
the irony is that by our kicking it over L-]we invoked the higher authority review.S G1 B
S G11 I suggested to that we draft a memo up thru channels asking for substantive
guidance in the whole area & he agreed to endorse it.
