Dear Dr. Puthoff,
(S/CL-2/NOFORN) Thank you for your telephone call last week. I
welcomed the opportunity to discuss my trip to New York. As
promised, I will now provide you with additional details.
(S/CL-2/NOFORN) The primary purpose of my trip was to develop a
schedule for the remainder of 1984, for the completion of Stage
I - III and Stage V training. While I had not received formal
notification from you that Stage V was ready for delivery, the
indication from Ingo through the other trainees was that it was
ready. I needed to initiate action to finish that training. I
went to New York knowing that Ingo would offer some resistance
to going back to California this year. While splitting the
training between. New York and California has merit, I decided it
was of no benefit to anyone to take a hard stand on returning to
California for a training session. Therefore, the schedule we
worked out is all. for New York. The one condition is that you
be present for at least one week of that training. As you and I
discussed, the week of 22 October would be a good week. I am
also trying to work out a week where Ingo will come to Fort
Meade to conduct training. A copy of the schedule is attached.
(S/CL-2/NOFORN) Ingo showed me a copy of the memorandum he
wrote you in August 1984, at the completion of Stage I, in which
he stated that training was going slower than planned.

According to Ingo that means that the Stage I - III training
will not be completed by 15 December as stated in the contract.
If that is true, I must be informed in writing that the contract
will not be completed on schedule, and what you plan to do to
complete your obligations. Written notification is required so
that I can take the necessary action to amend the contract. I
need that notification by 15 October 1984.
(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Ingo and I spent some time discussing the
future of the program, his continued involvement, and his
relationship with DIA. I emphasized to him that he had a
responsibility to complete the current training as it was for an
INSCOM contract and not a DIA contract. I also told him that I
planned to recommend advanced training (Stages IV-VI) for the
current trainees upon completion of the current training
program, and that I thought that concept would be approved by
DIA.
(S/CL-2/NOFORN) In reference to the work statements scheduled
for completion by 15 November 1984 (ESU 83-134, 83-244, and ESU
83-147), Ed May informed me on 19 September 1984 that they will
be delivered on time. If this is not the case, please let me
know.
(U) Please provide me the requested information. I look
forward to seeing you again next month.
Association with the below named individual and Military
Intelligence is classified CONFIDENTIAL.
