SUBJECT:
Events
of 23-25 April 1980
(U)
1.
(S)
Altering the established life cycles of remote viewing personnel
t
does not appear
to be beneficial
to
the remote viewing process.
I am not
saying
it is detrimental
to the process,
but that clear thinking and sound
judgment fall
off without sufficient sleep,
is certain.
The psychological
"high*
1 of working
on
a special problem may serve
to counter this affect for
a period
of time.
How much better
(if
at all) would the remote viewing
process be
if
the psychological "high"
could be attained without
the loss
of sleep inherent
in altering established life cycles?
2.
(S)
Scheduling
of
a large number
of remote viewing sessions was
a
problem for all personnel concerned
(except for the customer).
A three-hour
cycle would appear to be workable.
For example:
1300
1315
1330
1400
1500-1530
1530
1600
RVer and
IVer arrive at site
RVer goes
to

IVer gets mission brief
IVer joins RVer
in
RV room
0T time
Complete
RVfciYj
IVer briefs analyst
IVer ready for new RVer
At this rate
the
IVer could
do three
RV sessions
(9 hours) before taking
a break.
The RVers should be tasked around this basic schedule.
A team of IVers could
work around the clock,
nine-hours
on nine-hours
off.
A RVer might then
do one
RV session every
9 hour period;
maybe more
if the targets were sufficiently
different.
3.
(S)
Last week we limited ourselves to doing
RV sessions simultaneously.
The only reason we had done simultaneous sessions previously was when the targets
were the same so we could obtain multiple opinions.
Many
of last week's simul-
taneous sessions were not against the same target so the advantage of multiple
opinions was not
a factor.
Something might be said for the information pertaining
to "same time"
concepts.
For example,
at 2100 the status of target
"A"
was
thus and the status of target
"B" was thus.
I would suggest,
however,
that
obtaining multiple opinions about the same target would be more valuable.
If
"same time"
information
is required about different targets then
it is possible
to simply target the time required.
To avoid multiple futures theory problems,
the aforementioned method should be applied to near past circumstances only.
Your plan worked well to provide maximum intelligence
in
the shortest time
possible,
but an alternate idea might have been to provide
a continuous flow
of
intelligence
(sessions?)
by scheduling similar
to the 3-hour cycle explained
in paragraph
2,
above.

think we could have had one more room at the hotel.
This would have
allowed for
a separate area for administrative funetions.
The
RV rooms should be
for RVing only,
as we have talked about before.
A casual break room is nec-
essary,
and it just didn't seem to work having the break room/admin room together.

(S)
I
am not
familiar with the results of our effort because
I was only
exposed
to my compartmental segment
of
the operation.

targeting of the compound for another
day.
If we could have kept all
personnel
blind
to what was happening
it would have been
a good opportunity
to validate our remote viewing efforts.
Could the viewers have detected the
rescue failure and the subsequent activity of the militants?

On
a personal note,
I was very concerned about you during the past few days.
You seemed to be pushing yourself too hard.
Take care of yourself.
P.S.
Get an OPS OFFICER!
