The
following
comments
are
given
in
response
to
reading
the MOA
concerning
our
transfer
to
DIA.
1.
GOAL,
page
1:
"Initially,
remote viewing will
be emphasized."
The
project
has
been
working
for
six
years
on
remote
viewing.
The
dependability
of
this
aspect
has
been
proven.
There
are
several
other
training
options
in
other
fields
(PK,
etc.)
which
are
currently
available.
It
would
be
advisable
to
also
include
some
of
these options
as
an
initial
goal.
Otherwise,
it
could
be
another
six
years
before
they would
be considered.
2.
BACKGROUND,
2nd
para,
page
1:
"It
is
envisioned
that
similar
such
units
will
be replicated
at
the various
Commands."
Because
of
the
principle
of
"critical
mass"
(the
fact
that
psychoenergetic
phenomena
is
enhanced
in
direct
proportion
to
the
number
of
participants,
if
they
work
as
a
unified
group),
it
should
be
established
at
the
very beginning
that
each
such
unit
will
have
access
to
each
other.
This
would
not
only
prevent
duplication
of
efforts,
with
its
inherent
duplication
of
training
and
operating
costs,
but
would
also
allow
sharing
of
personnel
for
special
projects,
or
when
one
such
unit
has
a
shortage
of
personnel
for
training
or
other
reasons.
Another
option would be
to
have
only
one
such
unit,
centrally
used
by
all
the
various
commands
3.
ELEMENTS OF UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT,
1.(2):
"Develop
data base
management
and
retrieval methods.
Will
we
be
keeping
our
own
data
bases,
or
will
programmers,
etc.
be
hired
for
the
purpose
of
initiating
a
data
base
and
inputing
data?
Either
way,
I
should
talk
to
these
people
NOW,
in
order
to
find
out
what
formats,
etc.
we need
to
put
our
present
data
in.
This
is
the
only
way
I
can
meet
fcfee
our
future
hard/software
requirements,
as
well
as
any
hard /software
requirements
which
will
be
made
on
us
by
the
systems
to
which
we
will
interface
(theirs).
This
should be done now.
