ae Approved For Release 2003/09/10 ECR EL corszR000100140058-9 Sole Source Justification for Novel Intelligence Collection Techniques (GRILL FLAME) with SRI International (S) In order to fulfill the objective of this statement of work, which is to investigate in detail certain psychoenergetic phenomena that have potential military applications, the contractor is required to have both a high degree of technical competence in the analysis and evaluation of psychoenergetic phenomena such as remote viewing and psychokinetics, and reliability and security clearances necessary to evaluate the app- licability to military purposes by comparing reported phenomena to actually verifiable observed phenomena (which might be very highly classified). oF (S) While there are other contractors or educational institutions avail- able with the potential to scientifically evaluate the phenomena, the personnel involved would not have the deptn of background offered by SRI nor would they possess the requisite security clearances. For an- other contractor to acquire both personnel and expertise would be pro- hibitive in time and expense to the government. Additionally, SRI, a recognized leader in this field of analysis, has performed similar work for other U.S. Government agencies and has @ unique, classified data base which has commingled both government and proprietary data that is absolutely essential for the successful completion of this contract. (S)} For the above reasons, SRI International of Menlo Park, CA, is the only source for contracting for this study.

(S/NOFORN) SRI International is a recognized leader in the field of psychoenergetics and has performed similar work for other U.S. Government agencies over the past few years. Previous work, under DIA contracts MDA-908-81-C-0292 and MDA-908-92-C-0034 has formed a highly meaningful data base which will greatly enhance the value and effectiveness of this new contractural effort. 3.. (S) The effort involved for a new contractor to research the same level of capability and expertise that SRI currently possesses for this area would be too time consuming and uneconomical to acquire and develop. To acquaint a new contractor in this area of expertise, if he could be Found, would require several years simply to achieve the present level of expertise and competence possessed by SRI International.

Previous work, under DIA contract DNA 001-78-C-0274 and FY 81 S&T Project: Novel Intelligence Collection Technique (GRILL FLAME) has formed a highly meaningful data base which will greatly enhance the value and effectiveness of this new contractural effort. 4, (S) The effort involved for a new contractor to research the same level of capability and expertise that SRI currently possesses for this area of analysis and evaluation would be too time consuming and uneconomical to acquire and de- velop. To acquaint a new contractor in this area-of expertise, if he could be ~ found, would require several years simply to achieve the present level of exper- tise and competence possessed by SRI International. Consequently, it has been de- termined that to amend the basic DIA contract would be much more efficient than starting a new, separate Army contract. ; JACK VORONA Assistant Vice Director for Scientific and Technical Intelligence Approved For Release 2003/09/1 SEG Reb rloo0100140058.s S », 9% S-

Emphasis will be on evaluating application potential and limitations of such phenomena, and to provide such knowledge as gained under this contract to appropriate DoD agencies who will evaluate the significance of foreign work, particularly as it may pose a threat to the US. Major emphasis will be on evaluating remote viewing phenomena and in particular, targeting aspects, via coordinate or other methods. Related to this are training methods, methods of enhancing reliability and repeatability of the phenomena. 2.0 Specific Tasks (FY 81) 2.1 Evaluate threat potential of foreign remote viewing - type investigations: 2.1.1 Simulate experimental results for which there is data to assess validity of the foreign research. 2.1.2 Assess military applications potential of the foreign research (or claims), particularly where a threat to US security is possible. 2.1.3 Assess feasibility of the most significant applications and evaluate limitations. 2.1.4 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to locate target objects or people. 2.1.5 Evaluate the use of remote viewing for event detection and to locate events. 2.1.6 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to detect the presence or absence of targets. 2.1.7 Evaluate the potential of various camouflage, concealment and deception as countermeasures to remote viewing. 2.1.8 Investigate the effects of the following variables on the remote viewing phenomena. (a) accuracy. (b) degree of resolution. (c) affect on the sensory inputs (feel, smell, touch, etc.). Approved For Release 2o0s/09Kty: Ri RbP96-00792R000100140058-9 Utkhed

These will be of high priority and will require prompt attention. 3. Security Requirements: it is expected that a maximum of six SI/SAO billets will be required to properly support the program. If and when SRI International commences work on operational situations, it is required that all personnel connected with operational matters possess the necessary Clearances. , 4. Deliverables: The contractor shall provide the following: 4.1 Quarterly Reports to highlight accomplishmants and resources expenditures (by specific tasks the amount of funding, equipment used, - Professional/Support man hours). Detail progress on each sub-task designated for examination during the quarter will be completed by the contractor. 4.2 Draft Final Report using the same format as the Quarterly Reports but covering the entire contract period. 4.3 A Final Report based on the Draft Final Report and the comments made by the COTR. 4.4 Program progress briefing shall be of an informal nature and shall be held at the end of each quarter. The contractc. shall furnish copies of informal charts, viewgraphs and other aids as may be needed. The informal briefings shall consist of a contractor presentation and informal discussion among contractor, funding agencies and other government personnel as appropriate. 4.5 Quick reaction reports as required by *he COTR. They will be of limited scope and deal with subjects of especially high interest and/or critical timeliness. Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000100140058-9 2
