MG Rapmund
1 August
1984
(U)
MG Rapmund
sees
this
philosophy
as
his
justification
for
funding
and
managing
a
psychoenerge t ic
R&D
effort.
The
initial
steps
identified
are
as
follows:
a.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Establish
a
contractual
R&D
effort
designed
to
validate
the
remote
viewing
phenomena
and
identify
its
physical,
biological,
and
psychological
characteristics.
b.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Support
the
contractual
R&D
effort
with
state-of-the-art
physiological
monitoring
available
within
US AMR DC
.
This
would
be
something
which
has
never
been
done
in
US
psychoenergetic
research.
c.
(U)
Establish
a
scientific
panel
of
qualified
personnel
to
review
the
findings
of
the
contractual
effort.
These
panel
members
must
be
of
sufficient
reputation
that
their
testimony
will
satisfy
the
criticism
of
skeptics.
d.
(U)
Establish
a
"human
use"
review
committee.
e.
( S / CL- 2 /NOFORN )
Encourage
the
continued
momentum
of
effort
of
CL
personnel
by
expressing
the
need
for
trained
intelligence
personnel
to
remain
active
in
remote
viewing
so
they
may
participate
as
volunteer
R&D
subjects
and
satisfy
the
driving
requirement
for
intelligence
on
foreign
chemical
warfare
technology.
3.
( S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
MG
Rapmund
envisions
a
year,
multimillion
dollar
R&D
effort
in
p sy cho ene r ge t i c s
with
emphasis
on
external
contracts
(most
likely
at
SRI-I
and
subcontractors).
He
will
be
appointing
a
COTR
to
monitor
the
contractual
effort
but
for
the
first
to
months
he
will
maintain
personal
supervision
to
ensure
proper
direction
of
the
effort.
MG
Rapmund
sees
this
contractual
effort
being
assisted
and
augmented
by
existing
CL
resources,
but
he
neither
wants
nor
can
support
military
intelligence
spaces
within
USAMRDC.
He
plans
this
contractual
a s s i s t a n c e / a ugme n t a t i o n
by
existing
CL
personnel
to
be
performed
at
the
operational
activity's
location
(DIA?).
If
existing
CL
personal
are
not
to
be
included
in
any
future
operational
activity,
he
feels
that
selected
valuable,
volunteer
personnel
trained
in
remote
viewing
would
be
made
available
to
USAMRDC
on
a
priori ty
basis
4.
( S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
MG
Rapmund
plans
to
be
in
con tact
with
CG
INSCOM,
DIA
(possibly
Aug),
and
NSA
within
the
next
two
weeks
to
talk
about
his
concepts
and
plans
for
the
future.
MG
Rapmund
was
invited
to
contact
the
CL
project
office
for
inclusion
in
all
future
planning
and
discussions

and

5.
( S / CL-2 / NOFORN )
The

informed
MG
Rapmund
the
CL

had
been
holding
discussions
with
DIA.
On
July
1984,
as
part
of
these

office
recommended

the
interest
of
continuity,
the
entire
ongoing
CL
effort
be
transferred
to
DIA.
DIA,
however,
had
no
personnel
spaces
and
suggested
that
Army

provisionall y
detail
CL
personnel
to
DIA
for
FY85
while
they
^
would
ensure
appropriate
personnel
spaces
would
be
made
available
in
FY86.
MG

and
gratitude
for
the

on
