In an effort to ascertain whetherlellitahad used drugs of
various types in the ESP experimentation e writer drew from the
library all published material by 11nd his associates.
A review of this material reveals that in the ESP experimenta-
tion, certain drugs were used primarily to test whether or not the ESP
capacities were affected by dries. The experimentation showed that the
ESP capacities were definitely affected by the use of drugs as follows:
using barbiturate drugs such as sodium emytal, the ESP fell off and was
restored by the use of caffeine.
The experiments set out in the publications in general in no way
bear upon Artichoke matters and are of no particular interest except
as they pertain to ESP experimentation.

formation on drugs, hypnosis, etc. from it will have to be
on the basis of unpublished material or conversations since his published
material is not helpful from an Artichoke point of view..

no value as far as Artichoke is concerned and, in fact, were not help-
ful except from a negative point of view in the actual MP experimenta-
tion.
