P.S. Only damn it, if you _do_ change your mind, or _have_ changed it, you idiot--don’t wire--_call_! TO: J. A. Harbridge FROM: P. A. Christensen DATE: September 15, 1977 BY SPECIAL COURIER Attached regular news release will give you dope on Lee Trovi; also attaching copy her letter to J., and much good may it do you. Suggest you plant one of your own boys up here for this kind of job. I’m too old to learn bitch games. No more word from J. on this end. Any news? Please fastest whenever. K. wants to go downstairs, some notion in hand about personnel here makes him think maybe has new approach for J. I tend negative: only account probable subpoena if down. ????? Checkthru for visitors satisfactory. Place clean as a whistle. One problem: Shack outside Dome where Moon-normal work done last two months. _Wide_ open, actually. Alarms, etc., but--??? Better leave up, posted guard, etc.? Or take down, risk mention by someone? Damfino. Advise-- Earth news sounds like last week added up okay. Keep ’em crossed-- PAC P.S. Kutler just buzzed me to ask could I get some confidential authoritative opinion on medical aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, here. That’s all he said. Draw own conclusions. I don’t want to. Couldn’t allow anyhow, I guess. Add: if subj married, why shd K. clam up? _Ouch!_ Please rush answer. pac TO: I. K. Trozhikov FROM: Chen L-T RE: Bio Project DATE: September 15, 1977 TOP SECRET INFORMATION--FOR THE PARTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ONLY Tests Alpha and Beta, Schedule Nine, concluded Sep. 13 and 15, with results as predicted (4.5% average margin of error). Test Gamma in progress; indications point to predicted results; expect terminate Sep. 18. Schedule Ten follows immediately, unless countermanded. Test results attached. Please rush computer results. Med. Off. G. N. Gregoriev suggests possible correlation with effects here noted in Para. 5-G, his report, Sep. 1. Computer data on tests to date may provide basis for broad theoretical approach. Chen (Attached) Dear Ilya, I trust the implications of this report will stagger you as they do me. Wish we had some better notion of how far _they_ have gotten in this line. (If anywhere; pragmatism has its drawbacks.) Also, how controllable is the effect--if it _does_ exist? Suspicion here (mine and Gregori’s, especially) is, if correct, they must soon know what we do and v.v. Or perhaps retroactively? (Think _that_ through!) Also: will you handle the Maria Harounian matter yourself? I feel some obligation, as she will not name the father, and symptoms have progressed to where Maria can not be held responsible for her own care immediately. Keep the quiz boys off her if you can, for a bit? She comes down next trip, I hope. Lian * * * * *
