B.
Multidisciplinary
1.
Physiologists,
psychologists,
and
physicians
should
study and monitor
the subjects.
2.
Physicists,
neuro-physiologists,
anthropologists,
and biophysicists should
study
the phenomena.
3.
Engineers
should design equipment
to
facilitate
experimental measurements
and
to attempt
to enhance psychic capa-
bilities
through
technical
augmentation.
4.
Statisticians
and
information
theorists —
in con-
sultation
with
primary
researchers
-- should
design
and
review
experimental methods and
judging procedures.
C.
Diversified
1.
Several
independent groups
or
laboratories,
includ-
ing ones
from academe,
should demonstrate
the capability
to
ex-
ploit
each phenomenon
selected
for
study.
2.
Experimental
results should
be evaluated
by both
ex-
perimenters within
the
program and
later
by
an
independent multi-
disciplinary panel
not otherwise
involved with
the contractor.
3.
Within
the
limits
of security,
both
"in-house"
and
contract groups should participate
as
researchers.
D.
Tightly coordinated
1.
A single,
unified DOD/Intell igence Community
Over-
sight
Board
(chaired by DEPSECDEF)
should
provide
security,
cover,
general
guidance,
full
coordination,
and
should oversee
and
origi-
nate
tasking
of
all
research groups
under
DOD/Intell igence Commun-
ity contract.
2.
The Oversight
Board
will
concern
itself
as
necessary
with
issues
relating
to
the applicability of existing
federal
guidelines
(e.g..
Executive Order
12333,
Section
2,10,
Dec
1981)
and statutes on human experimentation
in bio/psychological
testing.
Issues
relating
to
individual
rights-of-pr ivacy will
also
be
referred
to
the
Board.
3.
The operational
research program element
should
be
compartmented while
the basic
research area should proceed
in
an
unclassified
but
restricted
setting.
E.
Integrated
1.
Whenever
possible
each scientific discipline
repre-
sented
in
the
research program should work jointly with members
from other disciplines.

Informal
cross-fertilization
of
ideas
should
be
encouraged among scientists,
subjects,
customers,
and operators,
3.
Multidisciplinary critiques

post-audits
of
project activities should
be conducted
as appropriate by
a
Review
Panel
and
by
a separate group
familiar
with
the
field,
but
not
otherwise
involved
in
the
research.
F.
Stable financially
1.
Research
budgets
should
be
stable,

to permit:
a.
Managers
to

In

to

b.
Researchers
the

to
do
research
and
not
spend excessive time marketing
for end-of-year
and
follow-on
support.
c.
Improved
security control
of
the
projects:
including goals,
communication,
and progress.
III.
The
ultimate
success
of
the program depends
on:
A.
Consumer acceptance.
1.
Sufficient
"ground
truth"
data
must
be available
or
generated
to document the reliability and useability of each
operational
system
to give
an objective consumer
confidence
in
the
system's
use.
2.
Sufficient
training must
be
provided
to
select
PSI
intelligence consumers
and producers
to enable them
to
use and
to
interpret
psychic data appropriately.
B.
Scientific understanding
1.
Biophysical/human consciousness
studies
to
elucidate
the mechanisms underlying
each psychic phenomenon must
be
undertaken
to
assess:
a.
How
the system can
be operationally optimized.
b.
How,
when,
or
if
the system can be compromised
or defeated.
c.
A system's
full
potential.
d.
Threats existing
from foreign
research.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND CONTENT
I.
The program consists of essentially
two parts:
(1)
classified
compartmented
research
on
the operational
uses
of
RV,
PK,
and
telepathy,
and
(2)
basic
research directed
toward
the better
understanding
and description
of
Exceptional
Human
Functioning
(EHF).
An abundance of
information exists
on
EHF,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
PSI
phenomena.
As
a
first
step,
a study
team
should
be established
to survey the appropriate literature
and
other
extant data
bases
(Library of Congress, Washington
Research
Center/San
Francisco,
etc.)
to create
an archives
to support
the
two principal
research program elements.
Work
on
RV,
PK,
and
telepathy would
focus
initially on
PSI
skill development
and
assessment,
thence
on applications,
and
eventually
PSI
utility
assessment.
Basic
research would concentrate
on fundamental
physics
and
brain/consciousness
research
through
the
formation
of
pyramid
research
teams.
