[REDACTED] was interviewed under hypnosis on 11/3/76 by [REDACTED] at his office in Beverly Hills, California.

The information [REDACTED] had previously furnished was then reviewed with her in detail and she supplied essentially the same information about the August, 1976, conversation she had given earlier in the investigation.
