MEMORANDUM FOR:

Director of Congressional Affairs

Associate Deputy Director
for Science and Technology
SUBJECT :
STARGATE
SG1I
1.
The session with Dick
D'
mato
this morning on the STARGATE
Program went better than expected.
|
1 tip last night
to
pre-stage the discussion on the people with the professionalism of
the review of
the program was very successful.
and
| had briefed Dick in March and updated him on all that
had occurred since
then.
Dick was complimentary of
the professional
effort by CIA/ORD on this program.
Dick believes
the USG will get
a
reasonable answer from this effort.
I
stated,
as planned,
that the
CIA would abide by the recommendations from the American Institute of
Research
(AIR)
study,
to be completed by
30 September 1995.
2.
Dick D'Amato,
I believe,
will put language in the SAC mark
that will reference the program following the recommendations
of
its
independent
s tudy
3.
I
then turned the discussion
to
the DIA people
(remote
viewers)
.
I stated that we had considered what was best
for the
people,
and the CIA preferred that they stay at DIA until
30 September and the results
of the future of the program
is
determined.
Dick was sorry
to hear we did not have a better solution
for the people,
but he did appreciate our sincerity on working this
issue.
He plans
to call Nora Slatkin and propose that these three
people be detailed to CIA by DIA to help do
a foreign assessments
piece.
A foreign assessment of the Russian program is an action from
the Congressional
language that DIA apparently has not done.
We
commented on the problem of raising expectations
of
the people and
possibly jerking around their lives more than once.
Dick
is
still
considering what should be done with the people.
4.
Should the people be detailed to CIA from DIA for a foreign
assessment,
the following topics need to be addressed:
a.
A manger of the assessment project needs
to be
identified,
most likely in the DI.
Objectiveness
of the
assessment must be part of
the report.
b.
The people are detailed until
30 September
1995,
not
transferred.

c.
Will the people have an opportunity to
look at vacancy
notices
in CIA —
I
think they should.
d.
The people will know up
front
the outcome of
the
30 September 1995 report will affect their future.
5.
We were asked about DIA actions
on STARGATE.
We said we
were not the authoritative answerer
for DIA.
Dick asked directly if
DIA had done the foreign assessment on the Russian program.
We
responded that we had not seen
it.
We also said CIA had planned to
work the foreign assessments piece after the AIR study was complete.
Dick stated that
the DIA people were placed in meaningless
jobs.
We
said we did not know what
the people were doing now.
6.
It seems
to me that language
in the upcoming SAC mark that
can be adjusted in the conference in September
is clearly an
acceptable position for us.
The detailing of people
to CIA for an
assessment of the Russian program,
I
still believe,
will cause an
additional problem for the individuals — something we should keep
in
mind and try to
avoid.
