STATUS OF PROGRAM
Introduction
Since 1972 the DoD and the Intelligence Community have provided
financial support for psychoenergetics research. At various times, and
in some instances at the same time, the Army, Navy, Air Force, CIA, and
DIA have funded the work. A chart (Figure 1) shows a chronological listing
of the sponsoring organizations, along with their associated budgets.
The DoD now has a single joint contract with SRI. While this contract
is the largest one and forms the basis for the psychoenergetics program,
Army has retained funds for internal use and to explore other areas using
additional contractors. This paper, however, will be restricted to the
SRI work as it is the only one that has begun. At future dates, when data
are available from other contracts, they will be included in progress
reports.
In this paper, I hope to answer the questions listed in Figure 2.
Discussion
Since the inception of this work to the present, funding largely has
gone to SRI. SRI has performed the work as requested by the clients, has
published a number of documents (Figure 3), and has provided the clients
with data on many "close hold" operational targets. While doing this,
SRI has also advanced the state-of-the-art in regards to its applications
potential for the intelligence community. In terms of numbers, & major
publications have been written, some 40 operational targets have been
examined in detail, and over 300 experiments have been conducted. This
was done over a period of nine years at an average funding level of about

$200K per/yr. While these numbers are impressive there are several other
elements that should be examined to gauge the value of what we have
received by funding work in psychoenergetics. First, we can look at what
we knew about this field in 1972 when DoD/Intelligence involvement was
initiated and what we now know about the field.
Program Gains
When begun, relatively little was known in this field with regard
to those factors important for military and intelligence applications.
SRI's program was, from the start, directed toward filling in this gap.
In the CIA program it was established that remote viewing of geo-
graphical and technical features of target sites, such as natural formations,
roads, buildings, and interior apparatus, does take place. It was further
established that the descriptive aspects (shape, form, color, material)
are described better than analytical concepts (function, name), as occurs
in subliminal perception in general . Application to operational targets
indicated useful information obtainable. Furthermore, it was found that
sites could be accessed either on the basis of targeting on a cooperative
person at the site, or by geographical coordinates. Finally, it was
determined by extensive testing that standard medical and psychological
profiling was not useful in screening for ability in the RV area. (See
Figure 4 for a tabulation of these and following findings of interest.)

as targets. Use of submarine/seawater shielding indicated that ordinary
electrical shielding is not effective in blocking RV. Finally, extensive
testing with alphabet (or other known symbol) targets found such analytical
functioning statistically above chance, but not yet approaching useful
levels for operational purposes.
In the MIA program, taken as a first step toward determining whether
sensitive equipment can be perturbed by an act of the will, evidence was
obtained that individuals can interact with electronic noise and radio-
active decay sources to produce statistically significant deviations from
chance expectation. This program in essence verified, under extremely
pristine computer-automated experimental conditions, a large data base
reported in the literature.
Daily field tests involving targeting on Hunter-Liggett exercises in
an AMSAA study showed lower rates of success than found in strategic
targeting, indicating repetitive targeting on familiar sites more difficult.
When successful, an internal gradation existed wherein site descriptions
were of higher quality than site location/tracking.
The primary objective of the DIA program was to provide a basis for
assessing Soviet threat. The particular efforts were directed toward
increasing the reliability of RV functioning, and applying RV techniques
to operational requirements. Four sources of "noise" in RV functioning
were delineated (analytical, associational, monitor and environmental
overlays), and procedures were designed to minimize their negative effects.
These efforts resulted in a number of examples of high quality quick-reaction
operational RV, and the development of a reliability-improvement program.

In the INSCOM program, SRI was provided a first opportunity to transfer
RV technology outside of SRI. Six INSCOM personnel were exposed to local-
target RV under standard SRI protocols for this procedure, with the result
that 4 of the 6 independently produced significant results. Furthermore,
the distribution of the quality of results (as determined by standard
blind-matching techniques ) reproduced earlier SRI-published results,
therefore providing a complete replication of our earlier studies. Since
the individuals participating were chosen partially on the basis of an
SRI subjective screening procedure, indirect support for this procedure
was provided.

Program
The first part of this paper/briefing has clearly been historical in
nature and was only presented to provide a firm basis for discussions on
the joint program. To look at the current program it will be illustrative
to compare it to the concept briefed in April 1980. The two have some very

fundamental differences. The most significant difference is that the one
briefed in April was envisioned as a union of the sponsors, whereas what
has developed is a confederacy. This is best shown by the funding and
monitorship of the program. But, I hasten to add that no value judgements
are intended. This report is meant only to clarify what exists and not
to suggest what should or shouldn't exist.
In addition, the Air Force was considered as part of the effort from
April to mid January. Now it is certain that they will not be connected
in any fashion to the project. This has caused some major perturbations
in the program. Specifically, the DIA had to seek additional funds, and
some significant redirection within the project has been required.
Funding
In regard to funding, the April 1980 briefing proposed that the
sponsors pool their funds, and then as a group develop the specific task
that would constitute a statement of work. The major portion of these
tasks would then be contracted to SRI but with provisions to use other
contractors as needed [see Figure 8 (a) ]. It was assumed that the tasks
developed by the Grill Flame Committee would be responsive to Army and DIA
requirements.
What has developed [Figure 8 (b) ], however, is a system where each
participant places his funds in a pool but earmarks them for specific tasks.
Each participant's tasks are then united with its funds and the program is
the sum of these combined but compartmentalized tasks. In many regards,
this is a better way to fund the program.
Data Flow
For data flow the following was considered the most appropriate
[Figure 9 (a)]. In this system the sponsors lose their identity early in

the flow and, rather than a two party program, there would be simply a
DoD program. This would allow the participants and the monitor to make
instant adjustments and changes in the program as they are deemed appropriate.
What we actually have, however, is shown in Figure 9(b). The principle
difference is that the sponsors retain their identity throughout the data
flow and function as a union only in the sharing of data developed by the
contractors.
Monitoring
Again, as initially proposed, the monitor would be watching over a
single DoD program and reporting to the participants [Figure 10(a) ].
He
would serve to interpret the project to the researchers and report the
findings to the participants. As such, there would be no Army, or DIA
programs, only a DoD program. What exists at the present is shown in
Figure 10(b). Again each organization maintains its identity throughout
the cycle with the results of the research being shared at the end of the
cycle. The monitor then in effect monitors an Army program and a DIA
program.
Now that we have looked at the program it would be useful to examine
the project in terms of the work thus far completed (Figure 11). The DIA
portion of the contract is being used to develop and evaluate a procedure
that could result in much greater accuracy and reliability of remote viewing.
In addition DIA funds are being used to assist us in evaluating foreign
research, to explore the development of an automated data base management
system, and to look at countermeasures. Details of these projects are
provided in Section II.
Under the Army portion of the contract there are two projects, audio
analysis and targeting. As Army funds have not yet arrived at SRI, work
has not yet begun in these areas.

Overall, efforts are being put forth to determine how and if this
science can provide data that is useful to the intelligence community.
At this point, I would offer that it can be a very useful tool. The areas
of potential utilization are intelligence collection, evaluation of foreign
work, data base management, investigating countermeasures, and efforts to
improve reliability and accuracy. Potential intelligence applications of
remote perturbation, or PK, have also been noted for the field of intrusion
detection. Further pursuance of such projects is certainly warranted.
Conclusion
The current program for developing psychoenergetics technology and
applying it to intelligence needs has many of the elements sought, but
some of the more critical ones failed to materialize. Some of them have
already harmed the program while others won't be felt until later in the
year. The original goal was to place enough money at SRI by 1 October 1980,
to permit unencumbered work for one year. This was to have been the be-
ginning of a three year project to provide some security for the researchers.
As of today, all of the FY'81 money has not yet reached SRI. Also, the
program was put forth as a one-year effort. These two problems have already
seriously cut into the project and could result in not reaching some of
our goals and expectations. The program has evolved from what was con-
ceived in April 1980 to its current structure. The purpose of this paper
is to insure that all interested parties have a current and correct view
of the project's structure and its functions in terms of goals and ex-
pectations.
To answer the initial questions only two remain. They are where
and with whom the work should be done. I have been on-site at SRI for
eight months. Being able to closely observe their work greatly reinforces
my belief that any major/effort in the psychoenergetics area must include
SRI as a major player.

Again, as in April 80, I ask the sponsors to either provide enough
funds in time to meet a 1 October start date or stop the program at the
conclusion of this fiscal year. We are wasting both our time in managing
this program and our money in funding it at the reduced level. I recommend
that for FY'82 a sum of $600K be allocated for this area. Some $500K to
SRI and $100K to other organizations.

Verbal Description of Project
SRI International is tasked with investigating a training procedure
developed by an SRI remote viewer consultant, Ingo Swann. The procedure
focusses on improving reliability of remote viewing by controlling those
factors that tend to introduce noise into the RV product.
The procedure is based on the observation that, with the application
of a "stimulus" (e.g., the reading of a coordinate) there appears to be a
momentary burst of "signal" that enters into awareness for a few seconds
and then fades away. It is at this point that imagination appears to be
triggered to fill in the void, producing noise due to associational and
analytical overlays.
The procedure designed to handle the above noise problem involves
repeated coordinate presentation and quick-reaction response on the part
of the remote viewers to minimize imaginative overlays, the use of a
specially-designed acoustic-tiled featureless room with homogeneous coloring
to minimize environmental overlay, and the adoption of a limited monitor
role behavior to minimize monitor overlay.
The training proceeds through a series of six stages of proficiency.
These are outlined in the following table.
Stage
Example
(1) Recognition and decoding of
major gestalts.
(2) Achieving sensory contact
with target.
(4)
Recognition and decoding of
minor signals while sustaining
major gestalts.
Land surrounded by water, an island.
Humid sensation, tropical feeling.
(3)
Experiencing motion and
mobility within target.
Rising up, a panoramic view.
Mountains on the island, a small
port city on the water's edge.

(6)
Analytical recognition and

Some tourism, agriculture devoted
primarily to sugar cane, main
island in Fiji Islands.
Knowledge of the above multistage process of target acquisition appears
also to provide a predictive function, in that apparent data that does not
emerge in this order tends to have a higher percentage of overlay.
A schedule has been established whereby training will take place,
generally, during three-week periods alternated by three-week breaks.
During the training periods the trainees (three in number) will devote full
attention to training matters. During the inactive periods the trainees
will be available to target against operational targets and to participate
in other experiments, provided they do not interfere with the training.
Operational targets will be done throughout the year, and the success
evaluated to assess the value of the training program.
In support of the training program, the training evaluation team is
tasked with providing a pool of several hundred target location packages,
including feedback. To meet this requirement, National Geographic and
other target materials are used to generate a list of sites whose coordinates
are obtained with the aid of The Times Atlas of the World, Comprehensive
Edition (NY Times Book Co.). These are then provided on an as-needed basis
to the training program.
A series of evaluation sheets are under development which are to be
used as an evaluation tool. A sample first-generation evaluation package
(for use in evaluating RV descriptions of large-scale facilities) is
attached.

A computerized data base management system for storing and manipulating
data is to be brought to the feasibility-test stage. The purpose of such
a system is to provide a format in which accumulate data can be examined
in an integrated fashion, hypotheses developed, trends noted, and so forth.

Summary of Completed Work
An extensive target pool has been constructed, including feedback
packages, from National Geographic, travel brochure and other materials.
In addition, the target materials have been sorted and cataloged with
regard to various parameters (cultural, architectural, geological, etc.)
which may be of particular significance at certain levels of training.
Two intensive training periods have been carried out to date: 20
October through 7 November, and 24 November through 12 December. During
these training periods both theory and practice have been covered with
remote viewers #002, #009, #131, and #504. The practice sessions consist
of extensive targeting on sites around the world by coordinate remote
viewing (CRV), with feedback being given on the basis of material available
from National Geographic magazines. Both the program leader (Puthoff)
and DIA COTR
participate in the theory class and act as monitors
for several of the RV sessions in order to monitor the progress of the
training program. Tens of sites have been targeted with each remote viewer
during the training periods. Although not yet formally evaluated, it is
clear to the program leader and COTR that the results show improvement
over time as to accuracy and reliability.
In an effort to generate data for objective evaluation based on
applications, remote viewers have been targeted on nine operational sites of
interest to DIA since the initiation of the training program. Evaluation
sheets, forwarded to the analysts with the data packages, will provide the
basis for objective evaluation of the RV products.

Current Status
Training through Stage 3 (motion and mobility within the target) of
the Swann technique has been completed. Evaluation of the results of the
training RV sessions is underway. The operational task data package have
been submitted to DIA for evaluation.

Experiments Now in Progress and Those Planned for the Next
Three Months
Continuing target preparation will be pursued to provide a variety of
targets of various characteristics to meet the needs of the training program.
As analyst reports are returned, these will be deposited into the data
base system for storage and later handling.
Some further exploration of
the advantages and limitations of the computerized data base management
system will be pursued as priorities allow.
The training will continue at the Menlo Park location, beginning with
Stage 4. During the remaining training period, an increased supply of
operational targets will be provided to establish a data base upon which
to evaluate progress in the training program.

Short Verbal Description
SRI International is tasked with developing a data base management
system (DBMS) that is applicable both to operational RV data and to RV
target management.
A DBMS is a stand-alone computer program that allows a user to design
easily a management tool. The resulting system consists of English
language instructions that are tailored to the particular application.
While it is possible to ascertain interesting trends by casual
examination of the raw data transcripts, this type of informal inspection
does not easily provide detailed, multi-variable analysis. A DBMS will
optimize further collection assignments, and enhance proper utilization
of RV'er resources.
In an operational RV DBMS application, client analysts will complete
assessment sheets similar to the prototype shown in Table 1. Then, a
data entry person will enter this information into the computer in an
identical format.
A program manager will then be able to access this data and to view
it from a wide variety of different perspectives, by means of sorting and
logical searching routines.

Summary of Completed Work
We have constructed two demonstration data bases to illustrate both
the RV assessment and the target management applications. Using an
existing (although limited) DBMS, we have constructed a data base con-
sisting of 100 simulated RV experiments, all of which have been judged
using the sample assessment sheet (Table 1). The data base consists of
4 RVers with 25 viewings each and was optimally designed to demonstrate
the features of a DBMS. Table 2 shows an example of a summary report which
is easily generated in real time. The column headings are the 7 categories
taken from the assessment form. Under each category the RVers are listed
in ascending order of assessment averaged over all viewings to date for
that category. For example, we note that RVer 007 is least successful at
obtaining information about the geography of a site; yet, when everything
is considered, 007 has the best overall utility. This and similar infor-
mation might have been overlooked with manual inspection. The row below
the dashed lines contains the across-viewer averages, which can be con-
sidered as the "facility" assessment, for each category. For example,
the represented facility does best on geography elements and second best
when targeted against activity at the remote site.
As an example of the target management application, we have used a
DBMS to organize and manage a growing number of National Geographic
training targets (375 as of this report). Our training effort currently
involves 4 RVers, 6 interviewers, 4 target preparers and numerous target
selection criteria. With this level of complexity and a growing number of
targets, a DBMS was mandatory to avoid duplication and to provide target
statistics.
As an example of the DBMS output, Tables 3(a) and 3(b) show a small
portion of the existing data. The targets were selected solely on the
basis of their use as calibrations for operational RV sessions. They are

as a demonstration of a sorting procedure.
It is necessary for an operational facility to know which sites have
been targeted previously. Likewise, it is important to know the conditions
under which RV sessions were conducted. Computerized management of this
information will optimize RVer usage and will significantly improve service
to client organizations.
3.
Current Status
Both data bases described above were developed using a commercially
available DBMS. As of May 1, 1981 we will lose access to this system.
We are, however, making plans for continuous service with a second vendor
until we can move the entire effort to our in-house LSI-11 system.
4.
Experiments Now in Progress and Those Planned for the
Next Three Months
While maintaining our target data base on a limited commercial DBMS,
we will be developing our own system for use on our in-house computer.

Short Verbal Description
SRI International has been tasked to complete an exploratory investi-
gation in the problem of RV countermeasures. For FY'81 the entire effort
will consist of scientific critiques of pertinent literature, including:
. Assessment of the various proposed physics models
of psychoenergetic functioning with regard to their
respective countermeasure potential.
· Critiques (from a possible intrusion perspective) of the
papers that claim the existence of psychoenergetic effects
on physical devices.
2.
Summary of Completed Work
Under another program, we have completed a literature search on random
number generator (RNG) experiments. In more than 10 years of such experi-
ments, it has been claimed that individuals are able mentally to influence
RNG devices. A critique of these papers remains to be completed.
3.
Current Status
Work has not yet begun on this task.
4.
Experiments Now in Progress and those Planned for the Next
Three Months
During the next three months, we will complete the critique of the RNG
papers and complete a literature search on any other possible intrusion
devices.

Verbal Description of Project
The goal is to separate correct from incorrect data available from
taped viewer descriptions of remote viewing sites, through the use of
semantic (linguistic) and audio analysis techniques, and to provide
selective editing under operational conditions. The identification of
correct and incorrect data would provide signal-to-noise enhancement,
and increased reliability from RV data, due to gating by pre-established
audio and semantic indicators of accuracy.
Persons experienced in interviewing subjects in remote viewing experi-
ments have observed that affect, tone, in speech behavior certain linguistic
patterns, of a given subject varies from session to session and from moment
to moment within a session.
Interviewers often express the opinion that
they make use of such clues in forming an early impression of the probable
accuracy of the comments made in a particular session or in particular
parts of a session. Such an impression is often confirmed by feedback.
The study proposed here is specifically directed at finding measures
of speech behavior that are correlated with the accuracy of a remote viewer's
comments.
We realize that project results may prove to be negative but feel that
available information makes it necessary to attempt to develop audio
analysis techniques in this arena. Sponsor will provide selected tapes
for project personnel to work on. These tapes will provide project personnel
with a variety of successful/unsuccessful taped sessions concerning one of
the sponsor personnel.

4.
Experiments Now in Progress and Those Planned for the Next
Three Months
Assuming startup, first, recording sessions for which the accuracy of
viewer's comments is known will be analyzed to determine candidate measures
of accuracy. Then appropriate methods of speech analysis that incorporate
the most promising of the various candidate measures will be developed.
Next the most reliable methods of analysis that emerge will be used in a
formal blind evaluation of known viewer data to determine whether candidate
measures actually predict transcript accuracy. Finally, the best techniques
will be applied to sponsor-supplied tapes.
Complementary to audio analysis of taped descriptions, an analyst will
look for linguistic, grammatical, and stylistic indicators that can be
categorized as indicating successful viewing. These will include:
choice
of vocabularly, relative complexity of sentences, level of detail, amount
of elaboration, degree of certainty, etc. Content analysis of this type
entails the development of a set of semantic categories that represent
themes of interest. This analytic framework is then applied to a body of
text to determine the relative frequency with which these themes occur.

Verbal Description of Project
Remote viewers have in past experiments demonstrated the ability to
acquire target sites on the basis of cooperative person at site; on the
basis of site geographical coordinates; picture of an individual; envelope
carried by another which contained coordinates; A-D, 1-4 matrix address;
etc. The use of alternative targeting procedures is dictated by operational
circumstances and data available and is best done if such are evaluated
in advance.
The goal is to determine what is required for target acquisition
(names, maps, coordinates, pictures, arbitrary labelings, simply the word
"target, " etc. ). We will develop control procedures that will allow
sessions to be carried out under uniform conditions, with only the targeting
data being varied. Not only do we want to see if targeting methods can
influence the results obtained, but we also want to see if it makes any
difference to the viewer (s) if information concerning the target is provided
to them prior to the session, throughout the session, or nothing provided
at all except in the initial targeting data.

OPERATIONAL REMOTE VIEWING TASKS
who Charged Them ?
SRI International is charged with investigating U.S. capabilities in
applied RV in order to provide data useful in assessing the threat potential
of corresponding Soviet applications. In response to this requirement,
SRI has pursued application tasks of interest to the intelligence community,
responding to quick-reaction requirements set by representatives involved
in monitoring the progress of the work.
The tasks carried out on the DIA program are listed in the following
table. Complete documentation (transcripts, messages, evaluations, etc.)
can be made available through SI/SAO channels on a need-to-know basis.
Although the contractor still awaits the formal evaluation materials,
*
SRI has been told that a number of results are excellent.

(S) INSTRUCTIONS TO ANALYSTS (U)
(U) The information provided as enclosure to this report was obtained in
response to a collection requirement provided by
·
This information was acquired from a new and potentially valuable source of
intelligence. Work is currently being pursued to determine the accuracy,
reliability, and improvement potential of this source. Your remarks and
attention to the evaluation sheet will be the basis for our assessment of this
new collection technique. Therefore, the effort you expend will greatly assist
us and will ultimately result in you receiving more data of increasing accuracy
and reliability.
(U)
While formulating your judgements concerning the data, the following
comments concerning this new source of intelligence may be helpful.
(U)
Foremost, the data is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and
incorrect elements. Specifically:
(1)
(S) The descriptive elements are generally of higher
reliability than judgements or labels as to what is
being described (recreational swimming pool may be
mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft
hull may be mistaken for a submarine hull, etc.).
Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
(2)
(S) The data often contain gaps (in a 3-building complex,
for example, perhaps only two of the buildings may be
described, and an airfield may be added that isn't there).
Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
(S)
Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire
information packet to obtain an overall "flavor" of the response, reserving
final judgement even in the face of certain errors, and then go back through
for detailed analysis.
(U) If you have questions regarding the data you have received or on its
evaluation please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

VI FY'82 PROPOSED PROGRAM
TO:
Grill Flame Sponsors
SG1J
FROM:
Grill Flame Contract Monitor
1.
This memo presents a proposal for FY'82 external assistance in the
Grill Flame area. The difficulty in initiating the work in the FY'81
program was reviewed in the current status report. The goal of allowing
a minimum of one year to investigate some of the variables affecting para-
normal phenomena and investigating its application to intelligence goals
will not be entirely met. Delays have been met in both preparing a
memorandum of understanding and in the contract review cycle. Other legal
issues have also caused delays (e.g., human use). Therefore, while the
next fiscal year seems a long way off, we should begin our efforts now,
once again, hoping to provide the time and security to the program that
is needed for it to flourish.
2.
Although it may be too early to specify the details of a program for
FY'82, several aspects need to be established as soon as possible.
(a) Do we intend to continue funding the investigation
of psychoenergetics? If so, at what dollar level?
(b)
Do we intend to keep the focus of the program at SRI?
If not, where?
(c)
If we intend to fund other contractors, who, for what,
and how much?
HAS DIA mode DAY
effort to contact
Men Contractors?
If so, who when?
If at, why Not
If these questions can be answered at the outset, then proposals can be
written and a program can be generated that will serve the needs of the
DoD and be conducive to meaningful work. (Attachment #1 is a suggested
program based on the contract monitor's assessments of the sponsor's needs
and observations of work now underway at SRI.)

3. As a guideline for planning, the following data are offered.
To
maintain the present level of research, $425K to $500K per year is needed
at SRI. A sum of $650K is needed to retain all the current SRI staff.
Any less than this will result in a reduction of personnel. This data is
presented only as background information; it is not intended that we base
our program on their needs. Our program should be based upon DoD funding
levels and the needs of our organization. Areas which now seem to be
emerging as critical, are remote viewing (quality and reliability enhance-
ment), data base management, intrusion detection and other countermeasures,
a generalized question/answer process applicable to tracking, event timing
prediction, and so forth. The opportunity of funding through the joint
contract will be continually offered to NSA, CIA, and other DoD organizations.
4.
Finally, the joint service contract monitor needs to know your inten-
tions for FY'82 in the very near future. When these are known a program
will be structured and offered to the sponsors. It is hoped that the
negotiation of the final program can then be attended to rapidly and
contracts can be written and started through the approval procedure and
finalized by 1 October 1981. Therefore, your answer to this memo, responding
to the questions above is needed by 18 May 1981.
5. The program monitor
is available to discuss,
clarify, or answer any questions pertaining to this memo. He can be
reached by phone at (415) 859-5389.

Note: Two of the proposed items (Computer-Automated Data Base Management
System, and Countermeasures Intrusion Detection System) are new hardware
oriented programs which may be new to Grill Flame members. Therefore,
detailed writeups are included as Appendices II and III. Should the
Data Base Management System be accepted as a line item, it is recommended
that, because of standard 90 day delivery schedules, a $30K hardware
purchase be approved ASAP (e.g., with EOY funds ) to start up the project
(see Proposal Update, Appendix II).

GRILL FLAME BRIEFING, APRIL 1980
Introduction
A.
Now that you have seen where we are in regard to applying coordinate
remote viewing (CRV) to intelligence targets, and have been given a brief
review of the current state-of-the-art, I wish to give you a program that
will accomplish our goals in the Grill Flame research.
B.
There have been many criticisms offered concerning research in this
area. For the most part, however, the flaws that are pointed out are well
known to those of us responsible for the program. We could even add a
few that the observers have missed.
C.
All of the criticisms, however, can be grouped into just three major
problems.
(1)
Not enough funds
(2)
Not enough central management
(3)
No termination point
D.
The program I propose will deal with these criticisms and hopefully
put them to rest.
E.
The structure I propose is depicted on the vugraph.
Membership of Grill Flame Groups
A.
Full and voting membership would be for all DoD elements providing
funds for research.
B.
Any other representatives from DoD or non-DoD agencies deemed
appropriate by the group would serve as Ad Hoc members.

E.
Funding at this level will keep the program alive.
(1)
Some progress, can be anticipated and we could
meet our primary goal.
(2)
The principle effort would be to continue research
on the application of coordinate remote viewing (CRV)
to intelligence.
(3)
It will not support all the current team on board at
SRI.
(4)
Training will be hampered in extent and numbers.
(5) No multi-contractor involvement.
F.
To properly fund the research and meet the criteria and recommendations
that have been made would require $600K to $1M/per year.
Program
The program as suggested will have a beginning, a middle and most
importantly an end.

goal of applying the CRV technique to intelligence use.
B.
At the end of three years one of the following recommendations will
be made :
(1)
All funding should be terminated.
Because it does not
appear that it can ever be used by the intelligence
community, or
(2) The phenomena will assist us in gaining intelligence
and we should: either
(a)
Work with the contractors in setting up an
applications group, or
(b)
Take the project into the DoD and develop our
own applications group.
Conclusions

INTRODUCTION
A.
Background
As operational remote sensing by psychoenergetic means evolves from
the demonstration phase toward full status as a recognized intelligence
collection technique, it is necessary to develop an overall accurate
assessment of the large amount of data collected to date, and to be able
to recognize significant trends within that data.
In addition, as the
data base continues to expand, a convenient archival technique with rapid
access to the data is mandatory.
It is possible to ascertain interesting trends by casual examination
of the raw data transcripts. However, this type of informal inspection
does not easily provide the detailed, multi-variable analysis by which to
optimize further collection assignments, and it may lead to underutiliza-
tion of RV'er resources. A mission officer could in principle increase
contribution in the operational environment on the basis of correlation
revealed by detailed DBMs analysis of previous results.
A data base management system provides at least three major advan-
tages over manual inspection. DBMS
1.
indicates optimal use of multiple RV'ers for specific
operational targets of interest,
2. efficiently archives and cross-correlates rapidly
increasing volumes of RV data, and
3.
provides means for recognizing and implementing more
subtle targeting strategies for individual RV'ers.

Proposal
We propose to select a standard data base management system (DBMS)
which optimally meets the client's requirements, and to construct RV data
assessment sheets to simplify data reduction. We further propose to create
a data base from existing data, and to initiate a multi-variable search
for important trends.

METHOD OF APPROACH
It is important to note here that the technology of data base
management systems (DBMS) is finely developed. The required computer
codes already exist; it is necessary only to select that system which is
most tailored for application to the client's needs.
Once a DBMS has been selected, we will modify and expand the tenta-
tive prototype RV assessment sheet (shown in Appendix B) so that it con-
forms to the constraints of the DBMS and accommodates the specific needs
of the client organization supplying the data.
It is presently envisioned
that a number of assessment sheets would be developed and tailored to the
type of facility targeted for the session under consideration.
The follow-
ing is a tentative list of possible operational remote sensing target
assessment categories.
· Large scale structures and technical sites (e.g. beam
facilities)
· Small scale technical sites (e.g. cryptographic equipment)
. Events (timing of, e.g., nuclear events)
. Person-oriented (e.g., health of foreign head of state)
. Location (e.g., of downed aircraft)
. Communication (e.g., reading of documents).
We propose to work with the client organization to provide instruc-
tions and guidance to reduce the current data for entry into the DBMS.
We would then create the data base using the DBMS itself, working closely
with the client to initiate trend searches.

PROPOSED PROGRAM
We propose the following:
· Select an appropriate DBMS.
. Construct a series of task-related assessment sheets.
· Build a data base from contractor and client-completed
assessment sheets.
. Initiate trend analysis and produce computer-generated
reports describing the results.
. Provide access to the data base by the client organi-
zation and recommendations for an in-house DBMS
capability.
It is proposed that the above program be completed on a one-man
year level-of-effort basis. We envision a single year's expenditure of
approximately $75K. An itemized cost breakdown will be provided on
request.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
PRIME/POWER is a complete data management system combining the features
of Prime's operating system (PRIMOS) with the simplicity of a
high-level, user-oriented query and report language. With PRIME/POWER,
anyone can quickly learn on-line data management at an interactive
terminal. It is not necessary to know anything about programming or
data processing to use PRIME/POWER.
The POWER language is based on simple, easy-to-understand English
commands. Using interactive dialog in all its operations, POWER
prompts (asks) you for the input it needs to perform each function. If
you give it the wrong information, POWER displays an error message
describing the problem. POWER's HELP command provides
a
brief
description of the function and format of any POWER command.
PRIME/POWER and PRIME/POWER+
POWER has two versions:
PRIME/POWER and PRIME/POWER+. PRIME/POWER
runs on all Prime CPUs, from the PRIME 350 on up through the 750.
It
provides the basic query language, report writer, data entry and
maintenance functions required for simple data management.
PRIME/POWER+ expands these capabilities by providing the end user with
the tools for system development. The additional features include
formatted data entry, validation of data entry, text and keyword
processing,
table processing, a dictionary file for keywords,
sophisticated report features, procedure files with variables, file
linking, multi-file reporting, concurrent usage safeguards, and a
versatile EDITOR facility. PRIME/POWER+ runs only in V-mode on a 350
CPU and up.
Common Features
PRIME/POWER and PRIME/POWER+ use PRIMOS file utilities to create,
interrogate and update all types of standard data files.
£
These file
types are: MIDAS (index sequential) , binary sequential, binary direct
access and ASCII sequential. Files created outside the POWER system
can be easily overlaid, or mode compatible with POWER. Such files can
then be interrogated and updated like any POWER-created file.
Since PRIME/POWER and PRIME/POWER+ are self-contained, all data
management operations can be performed entirely within the POWER
system. In addition, all files created or overlaid by POWER are
accessible by applications programs written in COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/1,
RPGII and BASIC. Similarly, files created by such programs can be

INTRODUCTION TO DATA MANAGEMENT
'Data management' is a widely used term which
refers
to
the
organization and upkeep of large quantities of information. This can
be a difficult task; however, a simple approach often yields the best
results. The POWER system is designed to make data management as
simple and painless as possible. If you have never used a data
management system or language before, the summary below should help put
some terms and concepts into perspective.
Data Management: The Basic Concepts
Data management involves five basic operations:
1. Organizing and storing information (data) .
2.
Retrieving and optionally reporting on specific data items.
3.
Updating information in a file.
4.
Adding new data to a file.
5.
Deleting data from a file.
These data management operations are based on several general concepts:
· Information, or data, can be stored and accessed most efficiently
using computer
facilities. ('Data' refers to two or more 'pieces'
of information,
while 'datum' refers to a single piece of
information.)
. Similar information is grouped into files;
e.g. ,
all
data
pertaining to a company's employees may be put into an Employee
file.
. Files are composed of records;
for example, each record in an
employee file might contain several pieces of information pertaining
to a single employee. See Figure 1-1.
. Each record in a file is usually divided into one or more fields
each of which contains a singular piece of information. An Employee
file record might contain fields like last name, first name, social
security number, date of hire, etc.
These fields are common to

every record in the file.
. Each field within a record is given a name which accurately
describes
the information it contains. Such field-names are
referred to as descriptors or keys. Ordinarily, one retrieves
certain pieces of information from a file by specifying the search
conditions, fields or keys must meet in order to be retrieved. Only
those field values which satisfy the stated search conditions are
retrieved from the file during a search.
Data Management: The Basic Operations
What can be done with information once it is organized in files?
Some
of the possibilities are:
. Retrieve certain information from the file.
· Examine data.
. Perform arithmetic operations on the data.
· Change or update the data.
· Delete specific data items.
· Obtain a paper copy of the data (i.e., print it out).
. Format the data, and print it out in a 'report' format.
. Add new data to the file.
POWER TERMS AND CONCEPTS
Most of the terms used in POWER are very similar to those just
discussed. There are a few modifications:
. In POWER, fields are named by descriptors.
. There are two types of descriptors:
search and display.
Search descriptors name fields which will be used as keys and
will be frequently searched on. Display descriptors usually
describe fields which are less frequently searched on.

Terms
)
In addition to those defined above, the POWER vocabulary includes the
following terms:
.
File
A collection of related information divided into common records.
Each file has a unique set of descriptors or fields associated
with it. For example, a file containing payroll information might
contain one record per company employee. Each record is composed
of several fields or descriptors, e.g., NAME, SALARY, AGE, etc.
· Data Base
A group of interrelated files.
· Record
A block of related data composed of one or more fields named by
descriptors. A file is made up of one or more records.
· Descriptor
A field that is common to all records in a file. Descriptors are
defined when the file is created. For example, in a Personnel
file, there may be several descriptors such as NAME, ADDRESS,
PHONE, etc.
. Search Descriptor
A descriptor that is used to retrieve a selected record or
records. This descriptor can be used with the FIND, GET, PRINT or
DISPLAY commands. Search descriptors can be up to 32 characters
in length. (In a MIDAS file, each search descriptor is an index
and is part of the index subfile.)
1
· Display Descriptor
A descriptor that is used in a selected display or print of a
record. These descriptors are used to sequentially search a file
for information. Display descriptors can be a maximum of 80
characters in length. (In a MIDAS file they are not physically
part of the index subfile, they are non-indexed fields.)
· Text (POWER+)
1
A free-form portion of a record that may contain up to 50 lines of
data. Each line can be up to 80 characters in length.

· Set
A group of records fulfilling any stated search requirement. A
set is created as a result of a successful FIND, GET, or EXPAND
command. For example, a FIND command may search using NAME IS
'SMITH' as the criteria. All records within the selected file
whose NAME field contained 'SMITH' would form a set. Up to 49
sets can be active at one time per user.
· Current Set
The last set created by a successful search operation, such as
FIND, GET, or EXPAND.
· Keyword (POWER+)
A word or phrase
that is contained within a record or which
appropriately describes a concept within a record; can be used as
a search criterion. Keywords can be up to 20 characters in
length.
(Keywords are stored in indices 15-17 in a MIDAS file) .
. Internal Keyword (POWER+)
A keyword actually contained in the TEXT portion of a file.
Keywords are defined by bracketing them, <like so>, as text is
added to each record.
. External Keyword (POWER+)
A keyword that is not contained within the text of a record.
External keywords are logical search keys that describe or relate
to the information contained in a particular record.
External
keywords are added to a record after the text has been entered.
Data Management in POWER
POWER offers all the basic tools needed for data organization and
management. With POWER you can:
. Create a file with up to 20
keys (search descriptors)
for
retrieving information.
. Take an already existing file and define it according to POWER
terms; called 'overlay'.
. Retrieve and display information
from
the
file,
using
previously defined descriptors as search keys.
· Compute and update numeric data.
· Change fields in selected records or change file globally.

Files Created by POWER
Most users of POWER will not need to worry about file types and
structures;
POWER takes care of file-related details for you.
However, some users will need to know about the files POWER creates.
The most commonly encountered files in the POWER system are called
MIDAS, (Multiple Index Data Access Systems) files.
MIDAS files: MIDAS files are special data files structured for quick
data retrieval.
POWER can access
these files using a 'direct'
retrieval method.
Each MIDAS file has an associated index subfile, which serves as a
quick look-up file (much like a phone book). All the search
descriptors you've defined for the file are listed in the subfile along
with their 'address' locations in the file. When you specify a
descriptor to be searched on during a file query, POWER goes to the
index subfile, looks up the descriptor and its address, goes to the
data file and retrieves the proper records. This kind of search can be
called the index access method.
Other files:
Files of other types, such as ASCII sequential, may be
created or overlaid in POWER.
£
Sequential files are set up quite
differently from MIDAS files. There is no index subfile for sequential
files;
therefore, all descriptor values must be searched
for
sequentially in the file instead of directly.
Sequential searching involves stepping through every record in the
file, one after the other, in the order in which they are physically
located in the file, until the desired one is found. When a descriptor
is specified in a search expression, POWER goes directly to the file
and searches every record until the proper descriptor (key) value is
located. The sequential access method can take a lot more time than
the index access method, especially if the file contains many records.
Display Descriptors vs. Search Descriptors
In MIDAS files, a descriptor defined as a display descriptor does not
appear in the index subfile. When you search on a display descriptor,
POWER must do a sequential search through the actual MIDAS file until
the desired field value for the descriptor is found. In other words,
for MIDAS files, search descriptors are accessed by the index access
method; display descriptors, by the sequential access method.

In sequential files, display descriptors are accessed sequentially,
just as search descriptors are; however, they are usually reserved for
fields not often searched on. The reasons for having both search and
display descriptors are simple:
. You can define only 20 search descriptors per file (only 14 if
you select the TEXT and KEYWORD option in POWER+); if you want
more keys to search on, they must be defined as display
descriptors.
. Search descriptors have a maximum length of 32 characters;
Display descriptors have a maximum length of 80 characters.
. Display descriptors are usually the fields you won't search on
frequently.
. In both POWER and POWER+, having display descriptors enables
you to define up to 512 fields per record, instead of just 20.
CONVENTIONS
Throughout this manual, many symbols and conventions are used in
describing command formats and syntax. There are also some special
rules for defining descriptor names and file names in POWER.
These
conventions are listed below.
Command Syntax Rules
All POWER command formats are governed by the following syntax rules:
. WORDS-IN-UPPER-CASE
Capital letters identify command words or keywords. They are to be
entered literally.
If a portion of an upper-case word is underlined,
the underlined letters indicate the minimum legal abbreviation.
· Words-in-lower-case
Lower case letters identify parameters. The user substitutes an
appropriate numerical or text value.
· Braces { }
Braces indicate a choice of parameters and/or keywords. At least one
choice must be selected.
· Brackets [ ]
Brackets indicate that the word or parameter enclosed is optional.

(U) Foremost, the data is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and
incorrect elements. Specifically:
(1)
(S) The descriptive elements are generally of higher
reliability than judgements or labels as to what is
being described (recreational swimming pool may be
mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft
hull may be mistaken for a submarine hull, etc. ).
Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
(2)
(S) The data often contain gaps (in a 3-building complex,
for example, perhaps only two of the buildings may be
described, and an airfield may be added that isn't there).
Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
(S)
Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire
information packet to obtain an overall "flavor" of the response, reserving
final judgement even in the face of certain errors, and then go back through
for detailed analysis.
(U) If you have questions regarding the data you have received or on its
evaluation please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

PROPOSAL UPDATE
After considering the various computer/programs that are available,
it has become clear that the most optimal way to proceed is to construct
our own data base management system on an expanded Digital Equipment
Corporation LSI-11/23 microcomputer. This has two principle advantages
over using existing systems :
. Since the LSI-11 system is nearly "desk-top" size,
the potential security problem of classified computing
is completely solved by having a dedicated computer,
at a reasonable cost, which is maintained in a secure
facility.
. The DBMS may be easily tailored to fit the application.
1.
Hardware Upgrade
For the last two years, we have been using a Digital Equipment
LSI-11/2 micro-computer to monitor various psychoenergetic experiments
and to perform modest computational tasks. Table 1 shows the current
system configuration, which was developed for real-time data acquisition
under another program.
Computer data based target management and manipulation of opera-
tional and training remote viewing experiments is being explored in the
FY'81 Joint Services contract. The on-site monitor has been briefed on
the feasibility of the system and is recommending that the hardware be
expanded in FY'81 and that data base management be included in the FY'82
program for final development and implementation. This document proposes
that approximately $30K be expended in FY'81 to acquire the hardware and
software to meet the current requirements of the program.
The computational requirements of a data base management system
(DBMS) differ significantly from those of our real-time data acquisition
computer. A DBMS requires :

Appendix III
COUNTERMEASURES / INTRUSION DETECTION
A.
Background
We have been tasked under the Joint Services. contract to provide an
initial investigation into the countermeasures problem. This FY'81 effort
will be devoted to scientific critiques of the open literature that
pertain to various aspects of countermeasures -- e.g., papers relating to
intrusion detectors and to theories of Extremely Low Frequency E&M
radiation.
The concept of intrusion detection is an important, initial step
toward RV countermeasures. It is beyond the scope of this report to
describe the theoretical and experimental background that suggests that
intrusion detection may be possible. A graduated two-year effort that
addresses the intrusion question will, however, be outlined.
B.
Method of Approach
To reduce the problem to a manageable size we will now define a
number of terms :
· Intrusion I. A perturbation of a physical system
that is correlated with the RV acquisition of data.
· Intrusion II. A perturbation of a physical system
that is correlated with an RV session, however with
no evidence of RV data acquisition. (Active PK)
·
Future RV I. The correct acquisition of RV infor-
mation from the trial feedback period rather than
from the target itself.
· Future RV II. The acquisitions of correct RV infor-
mation when trial-by-trial target information is not
available to anyone, yet global feedback (i.e., "you

had 4 out of 6 first place matches) is given to the
RVer.
*
·
Remote Perturbation.
Remote interaction with a
physical system.
Retro-Cognitive RP.
RP intention as some future time
interacting with a physical system in present time.
Further, we will define a successful intrusion detection program as clear
evidence of Intrusion I. From an operational viewpoint, the actual source
of the physical interaction (i.e., the RVer or someone else in his vicinity)
is inconsequential. Therefore, in what follows, we will ignore the possi-
bility that during experiments an RV monitor might be the source of the
interaction. And we will defer the operationally important problem that
individuals within the secure facility might inadvertently cause an in-
trusion-like alarm.
Figure 1 outlines the initial experiment which must succeed
prior to designing a complete intrusion detection system. Although the
figure appears straightforward, it may be difficult to prove that the given
detector system was actually perturbed rather than that the observed effect
was obtained by psychoenergetic data selection. This will constitute the
entire effort for FY'82.
Once a given device has been verified perturbable, a second
stage of experiments will be initiated to search for RV/RP correlations.
(Beginning FY'83.) Figure 2 shows the decision flow chart for this stage.
A subject will be asked to remote view target information that is in the
near vicinity of the detection device. (The extensive protocols to do
this are beyond the scope of this memo, but will be supplied upon demand. )
*
Future RV II is a debatable point with regard to real time data acquisition
(clairvoyance ); we have used it here to avoid the difficult question of a
real time data acquisition proof.

He will be given trial-by-trial feedback of the target immediately after
the session. During the entire RV session the detector device will be
in a continuous operation mode. There are two sets of conclusions one
would draw after an RV experiment that was considered a success by blind
judging :
With RP correlation we would conclude that we have
Intrusion I detection. And at this stage we would be
unable to differentiate between standard retrocogni-
tive RP and Intrusion I.
.
With no RP correlation, either there might not be an
RP interaction concomitant with remote viewing, or
the successful RV resulted from future RV I.
Likewise there are two sets of conclusions one would draw after an
unsuccessful RV experiment.
.
With RP correlation we would conclude that we would
have, by definition, Intrusion II.
· With no RP correlation, either there would be no
effect in general, or we would have an incorrect
experimental design.
In summary, for the trial-by-trial feedback experiment, it would be
possible to observe actual intrusion; it would also be possible, however,
to have an ambiguous result -- namely good RV with no RP.
To remove this last ambiguity, it will be necessary to do remote
viewing experiments with global feedback only (second half of FY'83).
In
this mode of operation, neither the subject nor any experimenter will ever
be aware of the individual targets used in an experiment. This is necessary
to close any possible future RV I channels. For this class of experiments,
pictorial target material will be chosen randomly from a large pool of
targets stored on magnetic tape and will be displayed on the computer's
graphic system. The subject will register his response as usual, and
later it will be analyzed with regard to a standard series of questions,

which have been developed to facilitate automatic computer judging. The
computer automated results of each trial will be saved in a protected file
until the series is completed. At the conclusion of the series, the subject
and experimenters will be told the results of the entire series (e.g., 4
first place matches out of 6), but not the individual trial results. The
computer will then destroy the trial-by-trial results. This last, extreme
step is mandatory, if we are to conclude that at no time in his future
will the subject ever be exposed to the result of a single trial. These
trials will be conducted with the detector device in continuous operation.
Figure 3 shows the decision flow diagram for the global feedback experiment.
As in the case above, there are two sets of conclusions one would draw from
successful RV in such an experiment.
.
With RP correlation we would conclude that we have
Intrusion I detection.
If there were successful RV
in the trial-by-trial case but no RP correlation,
it would most likely be due to a future RV I effect.
Of course retrocognitive RP might also be a possibility.
Retrocognitive RP here would require that this
phenomenon work in the absence of overt RP feedback,
an assumption which has not yet been verified.
With no RP correlation there would be either no RP
interaction concomitant with remote viewing, or
the successful RV would have resulted by future RV
II effects.
Likewise these are two sets of conclusions one would draw after an
unsuccessful RV experiment.
With RP correlation, we would conclude that we have
Intrusion II (active RP) and that trial-by-trial
feedback is necessary for a successful RV experiment.
.
With no RP correlation we would conclude either there
is no RP correlate to RV or we have a bad experimental
design. We might also conclude that trial-by-trial
feedback is necessary for a successful RV experiment.
