Subj :
DOD Program on Remote Viewing (S/ORCON)
Ref :
(a) DIA 1tr ser S-1863/DT-1 of 6 Sep 78
1.
(S/ORCON) In reply to reference (a), I have reviewed the
minutes of the 24 August 1978 meeting of the DoD Committee on
Remote Viewing. I share your concern that the current require-
ments and funding may not be sufficiently coordinated and will
provide support by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and
Naval Intelligence Command (NAVINTCOM) as appropriate to better
coordinate future efforts.
2. (S/ORCON) With regard to Navy representation on the proposed
committees/groups, ONI/NAVINTCOM will provide representation
as appropriate. Enclosure (1) to reference (a) was not entirely
clear as to whether the existing DoD Committee on Remote
Viewing would be replaced by the proposed Advisory Committee.
I would suggest that the policy guidance be provided by a
group comprised of the Service Deputy ACSIs and the Working
Group consist of highly qualified scientific advisors to
the Service ACSI's.
3.
(S/ORCON) I am unable at this time to pledge a specific
level of funding support. It would appear that basic
research funds should be applied to this effort until the
results warrant the application of advanced research resources.
I shall attempt to identify a source of basic research funds
with which to pursue this effort.

4. (S) While I share your view of the additional paperwork
involved in special codeword protection, we might reconsider
the establishment of a special compartment for maximum
protection of this program.
