Wednesday, 7 June 1972 Willis Harmon meets OT VI Ingo Swann at SRI and takes Swann to a meeting where there are 16 people. Harmon is Director of his own Educational Policy Research Center at SRI, a center for “Futurology.” At the time, futurology constitutes one of the most important and biggest efforts in the world, and Harmon is well connected in Washington, D.C., with offices there. Harmon explains to Swann at the meeting that part of their ongoing project is to see if parapsychology and/or psychic abilities can or should be factored into “future scenarios.” Harmon explains that all was known about the ASPR goings-on, and that the attempt to expel Swann “gives you more credentials than you realize, and also makes it easier for various people.”
