Within the limits of the remaining contract funds, investigations will "'' be undertaken concerning: (a) discrimination of plant matt:.rial treated with organophosphorus compounds; {b) differential Kirlian signatures between a variety of plant life; (c) changes in signature as a function of health or disease of the plant; (d)' investigation of the "holography phenomena11 in which a photograph of the entire object is registered on the film when portions of the object are absent; and (e) film signa tures of human hands or other body parts under normal conditions and when treated with local anesthesia or restricted blood supply.

I 3, The has constructed a working prototype model of the Kirlian app.aratus which was demonstrated in the course of my visit. The electrophotographs showed the Kir:ian effect with a quality 1 almos: equal to those produced by the ... equipment. In addition. ] planted bean and raddish seeds several weeks ago which are being grown under artificial light in the laboratory. Half of the plants will be treated with an organophosphorus pesticide compound (varying concentration and ti.me of exposure) and compared with a control group of plants to determine if there are s'ignificant differences ir. the Kirlian s ignat.1re. -- .·.

It contains handwritten marks near the top, including what appear to be an encircled "C" and a dash. There are also various scribbled lines and potential redactions or obscured text throughout the document, indicated by blank spaces or heavy lines where information is missing, particularly in the numbered points. In the bottom right corner, there is a circled number "208." The header and footer of the page show horizontal lines and a border, suggesting it might be a page from a larger report or document. There are no photographs, diagrams, stamps, or tables visible on this page. The document is a typed page with handwritten annotations in the margins, primarily in blue ink. The bottom portion of the page contains a list of numbered points, each with a question or statement. The handwriting appears to be in English, and it seems to relate to the typed content above, possibly adding commentary or questions to it. There are no visible photographs, official stamps, forms, diagrams, schematics, organizational charts, tables, structured data, redactions, or visual evidence of experimental procedures. The overall appearance is that of a personal document with annotations made by an individual.
