Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210086-8 Dec. 5, 1983 Dear Brian: In response to your inquiry regarding methodology for selection of individuals to attend Gateway /RAPT Programs, there are a number of proposal possibilities. Since I am presently unclear ; if such selection of personnel would be applicable to the Col. Brian Buzby Intelligence and Security Commané in general or solely applicable P.O. Box 52 to your more restrictive requirement, I will address both. Odenton, MD 21113 With regard to the first requirement, it would be possible to develop a more structured questionnaire for selecting and evaluating potential personnel to attend the Gateway/RAPT Program. Such a questionnaire would determine as a minimum a "best qualified to attend" from given personnel tested, through use of an either/or test criteria. The questionnaire would be developed based on our Current application and acceptance process and its direct "results" relationship to empirical data held from past Program attendance (based on approximately 4,000 past participants). In addition to developing such a testing interaction while attending the Program (i.e., reccommended ratios of male to female mix; military or civilian (white & blue collar) ratios, etc.). As pertains to this first proposal, a more refined "Draft Proposal" with projected costs can be submitted at your convenience, should this be your specific area of interest. With regard to the latter area, or solely applicable to your HE T more restrictive application requirement, I am pleased to M inform you that a finalized proposal to implement R&D of a more onroe selective nature has already been submitted to Mc Stubblebine for Institute his consideration in October, 1983. The objective of this proposal rei ion is far more extensive in scope for obvious reasons, but I feel of innovation it would greatly enhance your ability to determine appropriate personnel to operate within your environment and in meeting Applied Sciences your current training implementation requirements. I am prepared to implement this proposal as presented upon approval and funding by your headquarters. Due to the developmental time required to produce a product which you could apply to meet your personnel recruitment goals, I feel a usable product on which to base selection of personnel could be provided within 11 - 12 months of R&D implementatio ; Route 1, Box 175, Faber, Virginia 22938-9749 304-361. eproved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210086 8

In this procedure, the target and its three decoys from the designated category were presented in random order. The analyst rank-ordered the targets in order of decreasing similarity to the response (i.e., a rank of 1 means that the target best matches the response, and a rank of 4 means the worst match). The output from each trial was the rank number the analyst assigned to the correct target. The sum of ranks over the total number of trials was used to calculate p-value and effect size (r) for the second-stage viewer. Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002200590001-3
Approved For Release 2002/11/18 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002200590001-3 III RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Summary In FY 1989 three groups ranging in size from 26 to 125 were screened at the first or group stage for a total of 256 individuals. Of that number eight showed qualitative evidence of ability to report target-related material. B. First-Stage Results Table 3 shows the results of first-stage screening. A total of 256 individuals participated in three separate screening sessions at SRI International. The first session was open to members and guests of a university alumni group. Twenty-six individuals participated in that session and none were selected to participate in second-stage screening. The second session involved members and guests of a San Francisco Bay Area social/cultural club; 105 persons submitted responses. Seven of these were selected for individualized testing. The third and final session was open to members and guests of another university alumni group; 125 persons participated in the four-trial series. Qualitative judging produced one person who was selected for second-stage screening. Table 3 Results of First Stage Screening # of Participants # Selected for Stage II 1. Peninsula Stanford Club 2. San Francisco Mensa . Stanford Alumni Club of Palo Alto Qualitatively, the San Francisco Mensa organization appears to be a better population for screening for remote viewers, because seven individuals met the a priori criteria for inclusion in the second-stage screening, and only none or one did from the other two groups, respectively.

(S/CL-4/NOFORN) On 26 August 1983 from 1125-1235 hours LTC Brian Buzby, CENTER LANE Project Manager, CPI Frederick Atwater, CENTER LANE Operations Officer, and CW2(P) Joseph Mc Moneagle, CENTER LANE Project Member, presented briefings on the current status of CENTER LANE and the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences (MIAS) to CG, USAINSCOM in room 121, Arlington Hall Station. The original CG request was for a briefing on MIAS, however I thought it was appropriate to provide him an update on the project. 2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Prior to the briefing, I paid a courtesy call on COL Charles Partridge, USAINSCOM Chief of Staff. I informed him of the topics I planned to discuss with the CG after which he requested a formal update of the Project. I welcomed that opportunity and recommended that be accomplished in late September. COL Partridge then asked if I was in contact with LTC John Alexander and if I was receiving information from him. I explained that LTC Alexander's involvement with parapsychology was entirely overt and that we neither had nor wanted any contact with him. I then cautioned COL Partridge that our association with MIAS is classified and sensitive. He understood our concern about any association with LTC Alexander. 3. (U) I attempted to see COL Stanley Hyman, DCSOPS, USAINSCOM, however, he was on leave. I did see Mr Jimmy Garrett, ADCSOPS, and told him about the purpose of our briefing with MG Stubblebine. He then informed me that the CENTER LANE update I prepared on 16 August 1983 had not been provided to the cG. 4. (S/CL-4/NOFORN ) I provided MG Stubblebine with five information papers on the status of CENTER LANE, our association with MIAS, and an explanation of the Gateway experience. They were: a. Summary of Operations (Incl 1) b. 1983 Summary of Operations (Incl 2) c. Recent CENTER LANE Work With NSA (Incl 3) d. CENTER LANE Involvement With MIAS (Incl 4) e.

In addition to topics covered by the papers, I also asked MG Stubblebine about his discussions with CPT Rufus Jackson, an MI officer assigned to HQ, USAREUR. He provided me with sufficient information that will permit me to consider Jackson for assignment to CENTER LANE. 5. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) I then mentioned our discussions with OACSI, DA on the procurement of P-6 funds for FY 84 training. At that time the CG started to relate some of his experiences and personal thoughts in the field of parapsychology. It was obvious that the CG wanted to continue lengthy discussions on the subject, but his busy schedule that day would not permit further discussions; therefore I recommended that we schedule him for an indepth briefing/discussion at Fort Meade in late September/early October. He welcomed the opportunity and instructed me to coordinate the briefing with his Aide-de-Camp. The late September/early October time frame will permit him to reflect on his recent MIAS experience which should allow for more meaningful discussions with CENTER LANE personnel. Upon completion of my presentation, CPT Atwater and CW2(P) McMoneagle provided the CG with information on MIAS and the Gateway experience. 6. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) In response to my question on what the CG wanted me to do with the project, he directed me to expand the program with quality people, develop a screening program to identify qualified people for the project; and employ advance techniques for intelligence collection. 7. (U) Upon conclusion of the briefing I briefed COL Partridge on the results of the meeting with the CG to include the CG's request for a further briefing in late September/early October and the reason for the five-six week waiting period. COL Partridge agreed on the need for another briefing. 8. (U) We will begin to prepare for a late September briefing for the CG. While we will give him a formal briefing on our current projects and intended future courses of action, I believe the CG will want to focus on his MIAS experience, and hold technical discussions with CENTER LANE personnel. 5 Incl BRIAN BUZBY”© as LTC, MI Project Manager Approved For Release SECRET 700220011-9
