(S/NF) Other problems can include viewers being exposed to inferences and deductions by open press sources or television for certain current event projects. A monitor or observer present during a remote viewing session could also pose a problem since he or she could unknowingly bias the viewer. Biasing the source can be due to subliminal cueing. Consequently, thorough records must be kept regarding possible target related knowledge of those present in the remote viewing session. VII. (U) PREREQUISITES FOR EVALUATION: A. (U) RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS: (S) Research requirements are more stringent than operational ,requirements since proof of principle or the search for difficult-to-detect variables are involved. Consequently, there is a strong need for well-defined targets and tightly controlled protocol so that appropriate statistics can be applied. B. (U) PROJECT TYPE: (S/NF) The various projects worked on by this office include foreign personalities, military related targets, event predictions, as well as search projects involving location of target personalities or moving equipment. Evaluation procedures with regard to search are very clear cut because either the location is accurate ("a hit”) or it is not ("a miss"). Therefore, search information can be evaluated separately from broad categorical data. Training results are easier to evaluate 13 ini ‘ Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100030001-5

These records would include the people involved, information provided to the project personnel, project timing and other relevant data. Such project details are recorded and maintained in a permanent file or automated data bases. Specific protocols are also followed to insure proper records and other procedures are followed. A companion report, item 6 in the bibliography, contains protocol and methodology details. {C) To further assist and improve the over-all evaluation process, future projects will be evaluated and assessed according to the procedures illustrated on figure 4. This flow diagram contains all the essential steps necessary for insuring that appropriate actions occur and range from task initiation through final data assessment and feedback. Details will be developed to clarify the various roles of each major phase and to identify guidelines for establishing uniform evaluation criteria. 14 qe Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100030001-5
