performance of the technical review is now in preparation.
• CIA has scheduled a meeting with the former SAIC principal
investigator for the research performed in the Star Gate program.
• CIA has scheduled a review of the operations program at Ft.
Meade.
II. Terms of Reference
A. Objectives
CIA will undertake these primary activities in response to
Congressional direction:
1. Declassification
We will define the issues associated with declassification
of both the DIA's compartmented Star Gate program and the
previous noncompartmented CIA program. Examine possible
near-term actions, and establish or utilize existing DCI
Committee to address broader declassification issues.
2. Blue Ribbon Panel Review
CIA will establish an external, unbiased, "Blue Ribbon
Panel" of world-class experts in parapsychological phenomena
and the experimental design used to investigate such
phenomena. These experts will perform the twenty-year
retrospective technical analysis.
3. Management Strategy, Transfer to CIA
After completion of initial Star Gate declassification and
Blue Ribbon Panel review, CIA will develop a comprehensive
management strategy.
This strategy will address the proper
investment balance between operations, research, and foreign

In response to Congressional direction that
the Defense
Intelligence Agency
(DIA)
transfer the STARGATE program to
CIA,
and that we perform a retrospective review of the
program's activities,
we have initiated
a number
of actions,
including:
«
Trading data with DIA to conduct the reguested
review and program transfer,
including several
officially declassified documents.
•
Exchanging draft tasking statements with the
National Research Council
(NRC)
to establish
a
Blue Ribbon Panel
to ensure
a comprehensive and
unbiased technical retrospective review of
the
program.
•
Beginning an effort
to declassify information
related to STARGATE.
We already have held
informal discussions with the Agency's Center
for the Study of intelligence on developing
strategies
for declassifying information and are
preparing
a memorandum that specifies our
declassification requirements
for DIA.
•
Requesting the cooperation of
the US Army
Research Institute,
which holds
a contract
related to behavioral
sciences with the NRC.
We
also are preparing to transfer resources
to the
Institute
for the cost of managing and
supporting the NRC during the technical
review.
•
Contacting several organizations involved in the
program to review STARGATE
1 s operations.
Following the completion
of these declassification and
review efforts,
we will develop
a comprehensive management
strategy for the program.
(S)
Declassification
To comply with Congressional direction,
we will
declassify immediately certain aspects
of our program,
including the Agency's past sponsorship of activities
related to the investigation
of paranormal phenomena for

Cooperative meetings between DIA program personnel and CIA
already have resulted in a data exchange
for the purposes
of
conducting the review and transfer.
Some officially
declassified documents have been obtained from DIA.

Affairs
focal point channel
to enlist
the cooperation of
the
US Army Research Institute,
which currently holds
a study
contract with the NRC
