(S/CL-1/NOFORN) To accomplish the proposed program, SRI will provide the facilities, materials, SRI staffing, and consultants to perform the tasking outlined in the INSCOM Statement of Work dated 2 August 1983. Details of the effort are specified in the following section. 1 Approved For Release 2003/0945 CRE Foc. c07e2R000100140032-7 SECRET/CENTER LANE-~3/NOFORN
Approved For Release 2003/@ AKC QUERPP96-00792R000100140032-7 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN (U) MARS Measurements Association (SRI Consultant), Lawrenceville, New Jersey; and Dr. Michael Hecker (an SRI Staff Member). d. (U) The data obtained will be analyzed in accordance with the Personality Assessment System (PAS) concept. e. (U) The above analysis will provide the basis upon which specific and appropriate personality profile(s) of interest will be designated; those profiles will be extrapolated for use during Phase III. f. (U) An interim report of findings from Phase I will be provided. 2.2 (U) Phase II (Will be run in parallel with Phase I.) ae (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Self-report data will be collected from the selected individuals within SRI and the CENTER LANE Project. These will be the same individuals selected for testing under Phase I. b. (U) The self-report data will be determined from tests such as the Myers-Briggs and the 16-PF questionnaires. Testing will be under laboratory conditions, and will be used to design a prescreening questionnaire. Ce (U) Analysis of the self-report data will be performed using the Behavior Prediction System (BPS) concept to generate a scoring key capable of extracting those individuals with profile(s) indicated within Phase I, as being profile(s) of interest. d. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The self-report test criteria will be applied against a general population. The general population will contain the previously selected SRI and CENTER LANE remote viewer personnel. e. (U) To test whether the prescreening (self-report) test is effective in selecting individuals with the Phase I profiles, a second group of individuals will be given both the prescreening and extended Wechsler tests under like laboratory conditions, and the correlations between these results and the previous results will be evaluated. f. (U) An interim report of findings from Phase II will be provided. 2.3 Phase III (Assuming success in Phases I and II, the following will be accomplished.) “ a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The appropriate profile(s) developed through testing during Phases I and II will be used to delineate individuals into two groups: those with remote viewing potential as well as those who do not show potential.

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Personnel who show potential in remote viewing will then be tested (under laboratory conditions) against a randomly selected group of targets. Ce (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Personnel not selected as having potential will also be run (under laboratory conditions) against the same selected group of targets. d. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A comparison of both groups of personnel will then be made to determine the validity of selection criteria developed and presented from Phases I and II. e. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Should it be proven by failure in Phases I and II that a personality profile cannot be developed that will assist in selecting appropriate remote viewer personnel, then Phase III will be canceled with the concurrence of the sponsor, and all monies left transferred to ongoing remote viewer training. 3, (U) SECURITY (U) Military security requirements in the performance of this contract shall be maintained in accordance with the "CENTER LANE SECURITY PROCEDURES GUIDE," dated 1 March 1983 (S/CL-1/NOFORN/ORCON). The highest classifica- tion involved in the performance of this contract is SECRET/CL-4/NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION/ORIGINATOR CONTROLLED. 4, (U) DELIVERABLES (U) SRI International will provide the following: 4.1 (S/CL-1/NOFORN) State-of-the-art information on selection of personnel with a talent for remote viewing. 4.2 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A progress report (2 copies)--a written evaluation of findings (within 10 days of completion) of Phase I, develop- ment of and use of psychological profile(s) testing. 4.3 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A progress report (2 copies--a written evaluation of findings (within 10 days of completion) of Phase II, development of and use of self-report testing; to include comparison for accuracy against Phase I testing, and use of the newly designed prescreening questionnaire. 4.4 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A final report (3 copies) (within 30 days following completion) of the overall evaluation of the developed selection testing methodology. This report will include but is not limited to the following: a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A summary of tests performed in each methodology area, an evaluation of those tests, and a written comparison of one test methodology to another. 4 SECRET Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96- 00792R000100140032- 7 SECRET/CENTER LANE- 3 /NOFORN

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Findings that result from the application of testing methodologies (against a general population) to select remote viewers. This will include an evaluation of remote viewing results as produced by those personnel identified as talented, as well as results from those who were not identified as talented. Ce (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A summary of recommended testing for future selection of remote viewer personnel based upon the above. 5.
