Whether RV produces similar detectable effects remains to be determined. Analysis of the remaining forms of intrusion presented in Table 1 CM: revealed that virtually none of the papers discussed effects at distances KEEP PEO greater than a few meters. (For example, almost all of the metal bending AWAN reported occurred with the subject actually touching the object in question.) These observations suggest that the simplest form of countermeasure in these cases may be distance between sensitive equipment and a putative RP agent. Some forms of RP may be accomplished by unusual (but not psycho- energetic) human abilities. (For example, some authors have suggested that RP on static objects may be explained by the subject's ability to generate electric fields.) In such cases, standard shielding techniques would serve as an adequate countermeasure, 5 <SbeRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300260001 -0

With one possible exception,® »” all suggestions for mechanisms must be categorized as "plausibility" arguments, Table 2 shows the current theoretical ideas with a brief description of each, In order to suggest possible countermeasures, we must assume that a given mechanism is responsible for the phenomena. From Table 2, we see that Mechanisms 1 and 6 are "normal" because they involve well understood physical processes and thus have recognizable countermeasures, The re- maining mechanisms, however, have no known physical CM, Yet, to disallow the possibility of some form of mental CM would be premature. 6 —SECRI Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300260001-0

To optimize the likelihood that such a program will have definitive results, we outline here a systematic, but limited effort. Several considerations beyond those of the survey must influence the design of a physical CM program. They are: * Devices must be chosen that have demonstrated susceptibility to RP. *e Devices must be sensitive, yet isolated from the environment. * Engineering (hardware/software) should be kept at a minimum, « The approach should be systematic and should follow some of the earlier reported efforts. Given these constraints, three types of hardware are suggested for study in a physical CM program: (1) <A RNG device (2) Temperature sensing elements. (3) Film detectors. A RNG device was selected because such devices have been under study for 10 years. It is clear from this data base and from one study" conducted at SRI International that some form of psychoenergetic interaction exists, To isolate the form of interaction and to assess the usefulness of RNGs as potential intrusion detectors, a modest redesign of the existing RNG 8 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300260001 -0 RN. a inl 2

Little or no effort is required to update our proven analytical system, Although there are other devices (e.g., strain gauges, magnetometers , etc.) that have also been reported as susceptible to RP, we chose tempera- ture sensing hardware and film detectors because of engineering considerations, In summary, we recommend that an RNG device, temperature sensing elements, and film detectors be investigated with regard to their sus- ceptibility to RP as an initial step toward intrusion detection and physical countermeasures, amr: THIS STODY SHOULD WAVE BEGUN EARN oOo 1E You.
