(S) ANSWER: Since FY 1980, DIA manpower devoted to STAR GATE has remained constant. Manpower and dollars for the period FY 1990- 95. are as follows: FY XEAR Manpowexy Qther O&M/R&D Remarks FY 1990 10 billets 9) FY 1991 " $2000K congressional + up FY 1992 " $2000K _ o" FY 1993 " 0 FY 1994 " Q For FY 1995, DIA is in receipt of Congressional language from both the SASC and the SAC. ~ The SASC states that of the amounts to be authorized to be appropriated for the DIA, the Committee recommends that up to $500,000 be made available for the purpose of supporting the STAR GATE Program. The Committee also recommend that 10 civilian personnel billets be allocated to this program. © , ~ The SAC language directs that DIA apply $500,000 to the STAR GATE Program and that the current 10 billets remain assigned QUESTION #15(a): Ia this research and development project cost effective"? (3) ANSWER: In response to a January 1994 congressionally Directed Action (CDA), Defense Authorization Classified Annex Joint Explanatory Statement, Enclosure 13, the Defense Intelligence Agency has prepared a @Qraft multi-year research and peer review plan to focus on these issues.

If the Scientific Advisory Group determines objectives in the plan are viable and executable, the General Defense Intelligence Program Manager will compete this initiative with others for limited available resources remaining in the program. (&/NF/SG/LIMDIS) QUESTION #15(b): What are the performance criteria for STAR GATE? (S$) ANSWER: The performance criteria used for Project STAR GATE are governed by two recent Activity directives which focuses on the personnel selection and training of newly assigned operational personnel, and on protocols for in-house proficiency enhancements and operational projects. Also, an evaluation forn patterned after the one used by DoD HUMINT operatives is currently being utilized by Activity customers when providing feedback to operational taskings. The contractor, at our direction, is developing a certification program for operational personnel so that proficiencies can be both maintained and furthered enhanced. Program objectives in the draft multi-year research and peer review plan include research objectives to further codify methods for selection and training operational personnel; target identification; and refinement of protocols. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) | QUESTION #15(c): What examples of STAR GATE can be cited as contributing to the intelligence functional areas of collection and production during FY 1993? (8) ANSWER: During FY93 Project STAR GATE contributed to the intelligence functional areas of collection and production in the following areas of collection and production by providing data to Joint Task Force-4, and to DIA's J2 and the National Military SG1H Intelligence Production Center's analytical elements. Areas covered included the location and description of ships for drug interdiction purposes; SG1 SG1H projects were also conducted to enhance operational capabilities.

Plans are underway t with other Agencies. STAR GATE e contractor in research which provided data on significant experimental results that could be considered of a break-through nature. Experiments were in the areas of entropy which demonstrated aa significant degree of correlation between anomalous cognition (AC) and dynamic changes in a target's entropy. The value added is that it should provide an objective method for assessing the AC skills of operational personnel. In the experiment on remote observation, it was demonstrated that changes in the electrical properties of a person's skin could be. effected according to the intent of the isolated operator. The value added is that anomalous mental phenomena (AMP) could be used to remotely influence biological systems. As a result of the experiment regarding alpha desynchronization it may be possible to train operational personnel in a manner similar to biofeedback.
