Commander
Systems Exploitation Detachment
IAFM-SED (Steve Clemmons)
Fort George C. Meade, Maryland 20755
From the high point of interest last summer when I provided you with the
unsolicited proposal designed to provide the Army with an assessment of the
"Vulnerabilities of U.S. Army RDT&E Projects to Exploitation of Open Sources
for Intelligence," there has been an apparent diminishment of interest to the
point where currently I cannot see any Army action at all on the subject.
This is disappointing from both a personal and business viewpoint, and while
apparently unrecognized in the Army, an important missed opportunity to engage
the services of one of the nation's leading psychics in an application of
psychic phenomena to intelligence problems.
You have stated that money for the project at your detachment was not and
currently is not available. Money never will be available unless someone
takes the initiative to get it in the organization's budget, or to work hard
and convince a higher headquarters to shift money around or to release some
discretionary funds. Are you willing to do this? I can help you by briefing
the proposal at all levels.
It will take a commitment by you or someone else to sell the project. I will
work harder than anyone else, but I need someone inside who really wants the
project to go.

The scope and direction of the project are completely negotiable. Currently
it is well designed to work in a particular area, but I am most willing to
redirect and redesign the effort to attack any intelligence or counter-
intelligence problem the Army desires.
I would like to meet with you and anyone else interested to plan a line of
action that will get the project back on track, or to redesign it to meet a
more important need.
Sincerely,
C. B. Jones
