May Re: Publicity and British TV It has come to my attention that Mr. James Schnabel, 6000 Kennedy Drive, Chevy Chase, MD 20815, Phone 301.907.2662 is writing a piece for Channel 4 on British television. He outlined the gist of the program to one of our staff as two fold. The first part involves CIA's Project Scanate and the history of the putative Army's involvement in remote view to include details of Al organization and it's predecessors, specifics of some of the live missions, which agencies had used the s ervice, and who were the ma or players. Mr. Schnabel listed 5 individuals by name all of whom have retired from or program in the past. He also listed the names of some of the current personnel and retired senior government personnel who were associated with the program but not directly involved. It is my impression that Schnabel and Channel 4 are interested in an expose and have garnered full cooperation of past project personnel. Knowing how long these things take, I do not believe that anything will be presented until late summer and perhaps then only in England, although there is a close relationship between Channel 4 and the Discovery channel here in the States. To: ain the question of the veracity of past agreements between ises once a thi g s ra project personnel and the government. When we meet, I will provide the complete text of a memo-to-record about the whole Schnabel repeated incidents.

May" Subject: Re: RV Conference MIME-Version: 1.0 Just heard that it is Angela Thompson, here in Las Vegas, is doing a remote viewing workshop, not a conference. So I suspect that is the source of your rumor mill. She's done this before to make a little extra money. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consciousness Research Laboratory 702-895-1480 lab Harry Reid Center, University of Nevada 702-895-1602 fax WWW: http://eeyore.lv-hrc.nevada.edu/-cogno/cogno.html dradin@nevada.edu SG1I VJ~Lo -~2~~ C~ SGFOIA3 Approved For Release---2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00791 RO Printed for may @ hildeard.saicm .com (Edwin C.
