.
b.
Develop
a
long range comprehensive research
plan.
3.
(S/NF)
In-house
investigations:
a.

develop
appropriate procedures /documen tat i on
(S/NF)

No,
and
No,
above.
Objective
No.
3 should
be pursued

IMPACT STATEMENT
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
STAR GATE
is
a unique activity in the
Intelligence Community that examines parapsychological phenomena.
SG1B
There are three main aspects to the STAR
research via
$2 million 2-year R/D funding that was allocated in
FY92;
and
(3)
pursuit of in-house investigations
in applying this
phenomena to high-interest intelligence collection and
operational problems.
These three mission areas were part of the
FY91 and FY92 Congressional direction for DIA.
(S/NF)
Loss of the
10 billets for this project would result
in
cancellation of all three of these mission areas.
Thus,
the
Intelligence Community would not be able to monitor and assess
foreign activities in this field,
nor would a capability exist
for applying a unique intelligence collection tool that has
potential in application areas where other collection techniques
have little or no effectiveness
(e.g.,
hostage location).
Loss of
these billets would mean abandonment of all basic and applied
research that
is currently showing promise for phenomena
explanation and for improving application utility.
In addition,
a talent pool established over the past several years would be
dispersed and lost for further development.
