STAR WARS - 'COMPANY' CONTROL

Companies involved in the HAARP project are both interesting and
mysterious. The evolution of the HAARP contract is a story within this story.

Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) created a subsidiary called ARCO
Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI) which was based in Washington, D.C. The
company had reported annual sates of $5 million and had 25 employees as late as
1992.134 ARCO, the parent company, is the second largest private employer in
Alaska, primarily involved in the North Slope oil fields where it controls trillions of
cubic feet of natural gas and billions of barrels of oil. The natural gas on the North
Slope has been reinjected into the earth rather than "flared" off or produced for use as
it is in most other parts of the world. The gas has been reinjected in order to maintain
oil field pressure for enhanced production while pumping up to two million barrels of
crude oil a day out of the ground. No market for this natural gas currently exists,
although a $20 billion pipeline remains on the drawing boards. Finding a market for
the gas is in the interests of ARCO. The site where the HAARP project has been built
is close to an already granted right-of-way for a future TransAlaska Gas Pipeline. All
of the significant regulatory hurdles have been passed for constructing the gas line
should markets be found.

HAARP at its present stage does not represent a high energy consumer in
terms of input power. The first two phases of the project might not consume more
than one to ten megawatts of power. In the future, however if the project continues to
grow the way that project planners want it to or expands to involve other facilities,
power demands would sharply increase. ARCO originally hoped to find a large
consumer for their presently unmarketable natural gas. It was this market search
which brought Dr. Eastlund together with ARCO in the mid 1980's, and his inventive
genius gave birth to APTI.

Eventually ARCO was able to cluster twelve patents that would provide the
basis for new markets for their North Slope natural gas. The possibility of not even
having to transport the gas far from the source was an even more promising
possibility - a possibility which would put ARCO in the Star Wars business.
How does a small subsidiary company like APTI get a military contract for
such a project? The contract with APTI was more than five times the
organization's projected annual sales 135 . We believe that the only way a
virtually unknown company, in the military contracting environment, could get a
contract like this is if they possessed proprietary information of use in the project
(i.e., the twelve APTI patents). This fact was recently confirmed by Dr. Eastlund who
was interviewed by Jeane Manning. He said APTI was formed a year after he made his
discovery while under contract to ARCO to find a use for their gas. The company was
formed to develop his patent by encouraging the military to test and eventually build
134 America's Corporate Families. 1993, Volume I, page 156.
