Investigations in this area have sometimes been referred to as Remote Viewing (RV), Extrasensory Ferception (ESF), and recently Anomalous Cognition (AC) or Anomalous Phenomena (AP). Foreign researchers have also used the term psychoenergetics to describe aspects of these areas. 2.2 (S/NF} Over the past fifteen years DIA has followed the field of psychoenergetics for two basic reasons: 2-4 (S/NF) In 198% a report with project findings was sent ta congressional intelligence and appropriation committees. The report affirmed the existence of remote viewing phenomenon and recommended that additional reasearch for quantifying and developing remote viewing as an intelligence collection tool be pursued. This recommendation was endorsed by a special Science Fanel that met to review the project findings. This panel also affirmed that the contractual research was scientifically sound and urged that basic and applied research in psychoenergetics be continued, its scope expanded, and that other laboratories be involved.

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000450004-6 SECRET ae (S/NF) The first opportunity to expand this research scope occurred in 1965. The Department of the Army's Surgeon General Oftice for Research and Development (DASGRD) initiated a five year research and development program. The SGRD program centered on two main aspects: basic anomalous phenomena understanding, and applications-oriented research. DIA astablighed close ties with this R/D effort to ensure that applications reagarch would be adequately pursued. av& Ch/NP) ln 1987, it became apparent that SGRD funding might not be availabie toa carry through to the and of the five year period. Consequently, additional funding was sought by DIA and acquired through funding transfer action by the house Appropriations Committee (HAC). This funding was provided to Difs MIPR action to the SGRD contract was the most expeditious methaci of allocating this funding. 2.7 (G/NF) Results of this effort yielded several findings of breakthrough potential. Subsequently, follow-on research support was provided ta BIA by Congressional action for FY91; DIA was identified as the executive agent-due to long-standing knowledge and expertise in this area. Both R&D and O/M funds were allocated for continuing basic and applied research, for applied investigation and for assisting in assessment of relevant foreign research, Additional funds are also anticipated for this area after a comprehensive research plan is defined. 249 (S/NF) QBJECTIVE: The objective of this contract is to pursue the most promising basic and applied research in this area, to develop a comprehensive plan for future activities, and to identify/improve application potential. 4.0 (S/NF) SCOPE: Basic research, applied research and threat assessments will be accomplished for this phenomenological area. 3.0 (S/NF} TECHNICAL/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: Set (S/NF) ALL research activities and findings resulting from previous programs in psychoenergetics shall be brought to bear on this effort. In addition, expertise in multidisciplinary areas throughout SAIC shall be made available as consultants or for special support as required. S.2 (WU) Specialized support, if not available at SAIC, can be obtained via SAIC consultant or subcontract efforts with prior approval by the COTR. Every effort should be made to insure such support is from the recognized experts in the field. Some of the specific tasks in section 4.6 can be performed in unclassified facilities. o.3 (S/NF) This effort will utilize a technical review group (e.g., a "Scientific Oversight Committee, °a Human Use Review Panel and a Policy Board). Their establishment will be in coordination with, and approved by, the COTR. SECRET/NOFORN 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000450004-6
