Approved For Release OSE ceET SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN IL STATEMENT OF WORK (U) l. (U) GENERAL 1.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The objective of this effort is to investigate a particular aspect of psychoenergetics relating to operational management of personnel; that is, determine if a personality testing technique can be created, which when applied to a general population will delineate specific individuals who exhibit a higher degree of talent for remote viewing. 1.2 (U) MAJOR GOALS a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Phase I: Apply personality testing with proven remote viewer personnel from SRI and Project CENTER LANE, and determine testing profile(s) that can be used to identify personnel with an aptitude for remote viewing. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Phase II: Test these same individuals with "self-report" type tests, and compare the results of these tests with the previously identified profile(s) to determine testing accuracy. Apply the identified profile(s) against a general test population and segregate persons who show a talent for remote viewing from those who do not, Ce (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Phase III: Test the personnel who show a talent for remote viewing against randomly selected targets; test the personnel who did not show a talent against the same targets. d. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Provide an overall evaluation of the above three phases with conclusive recommendations. If the first two phases produce negative results, an overall evaluation of those two phases will be made, including a recommendation for further action. 2. (U) SPECIFIC TASKS 2.1 (U) Phase I a. (S/CL-~3/NOFORN) Personality profile data from proven remote viewers will be collected. Data will be collected from proven personnel-- those identified by SRI as well as Project CENTER LANE participants. b . (U) The data will be collected by using an extended Wechsler Test. C. (U) It is planned that testing will be carried out under laboratory conditions by two experienced testers: Dr. David Saunders, 2 Approved For Release erate RET pos-007o2R000100140032-7 SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN

The Congressman asked me
if
u/e felt that
SRI was worth having and
I explained to him our current funding situation
for FY
81 and what we had
recommended for FY
as
far as supporting SRI.
My response appeared to
satisfy
him.

The meeting adjourned shortly before 1500 Hrs with the Congressman
ringing summation that this area
of intelligence gathering was potentially
too great to allow to fester
on the vines because of bureaucratic red tape.

DATE 29 Sep 80 detailed to identify ACTION REQUIRED That ZA reject unsolicited proposal MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD. (Describe briefly the requirement, background and action taken or recommended. Must be sufficiently the action without recourse to other sources. ) 1. (U) BACKGROUND: ZA tasked MAJ Hay to evaluate unsolicited proposal at TAB B. 2, (S/NOFORN) DISCUSSION: Mr. Clemmons name was provided to R. F. Cross Associates by a former INSCOM officer who thought INSCOM might have some interest with regard to LITINT for use in the OPSEC effort, but doubted anyone had interest in the parapsychology portion of the proposal. MAJ Hay asked Tom Forman, the GRILL FLAME OPSEC Officer, to look at the proposal and informally provide an evaluation. Mr. Forman provided a very professional evaluation at TAB A. 3. (S/NOFORN) RECOMMENDATION: MAJ Hay agrees completely with Mr. Forman's evaluation that this proposal should be rejected for the following reason: INSCOM is capable of duplicating the whole proposal at a much Lower cost. This effort could be done in the same timeframe with equal or better results without hindering current INSCOM mission. Suggests ZA consider tasking INSCOM to perform this effort using a special team to target GRILL FLAME. This would provide us with good open source read out as to what the Soviets are doing in this area and tell us how good our OPSEC has been concerning GRILL FLAME. MAJ Hay can inform Mr. Clemmons that we are not interested in the proposal as we have what we consider to be a good in-house LITINT capability and are not 4nterested in the parapsychology effort at this time.

This particular S4 trainee used up 31 simulated training sites, the last seven of which led to accurate descriptors of the site's major functions, as well as to other particular and associated site-information. Judging against the strict standards that I believe should be imposed, then this trainee arrived at the culmination of $4 with a particular excellence. 8. As you are aware, the usefulness and workability of 84 can not and should not be predetermined within our own competency. The trainee and the clients were, therefore, requested by myself in advance of the training to quickly have this trainee produce work in their own house that might or might not quickly establish the efficacy of the training here. To my understanding, this has already been done or is in process, and the comments I have heard are positive. 9. I believe it is appropriate here to comment overall on the character and nature of this particular trainee (T™). I recommend that we forward to the client our congratulations on this product of their selection methods, which are, apparently, excellent. In ell instances, and even under certain project hardships, this trainee exhibited what can only be rated as high and professional demeanor throughout. He was able to apply himself at all times with the utmost of intellectual accuracy to all the tasks and training drills that were encountered. He was able to perform even all the tedous drills necessary, to maintain his performances within the standards that have been inbuilt into the training model, and, finally, to emerge at the cther end of the training with new and consolidated aptitudes. While we do not, of course, yet have enormous numbers from which we might draw comparisons, it should be stated to the cellent that in the case of this trainee, he exhibited the least of Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA- RDP96- 00792R000100140033-6

Meade, Maryland 20755 Dear Brian: (S/CL-3/NOFORN) I thought that I would provide you with a status report with regard to (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) the screening/selection task. Our major consultant, Dr. David Saunders, now has the WAIS results for 6 calibrated remote viewers who were part of our IEEE published data base. We also have collected the WAIS results for 13 other remote viewers who are currently participating in on-going remote viewing programs. We will be obtaining RV calibrations for these people throughout the year. We are obtaining the results from 1300 responses obtained during a nation-wide RV/psychological test that appeared in Omni magazine. The psychological questions were developed by Saunders for Mr. Stephan Schwartz, the program director. We have arranged for a three-fold laboratory cooperative effort (SRI, Princeton, Mobius) to analyze the RV results in a statistically meaningful way and to correlate the 1300 responses with the results of Saunders' psychological analysis. Since Saunders developed the "self report" questions on the basis of his general knowledge of the PAS, we are fortunate to have such a large database with which to work. Under another program, we are modifying Dean Robert Jahn's RV judging procedure to fit more closely our form of remote viewing. The statistical output of this procedure, which is available to us, allows quantitative results to be calculated for each RV response. This is necessary to allow meaningful correlations with the results of the psychological analysis. WARNING NOTICE CENTER LANE SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM.
