Reference: Your Memo, Special Orientation Technique,
dated 2 May 1983
1. In response to your memo, SRI proposes a contract to begin this fiscal
year to initiate a CRY training cycle with a new individual(s), beginning
with Stage I and progressing through Stage III as fast as is practicable.
(We recommend that at least two individuals be trained concurrently,
because of the efficiency and cost effectiveness of working with multiple
trainees. )
2. In order to mesh with training schedule committments presently under way,
we propose that the first training period commence at a mutually-agreed-
upon time after 15 September.
3. The contents of the training procedure for Stages I - III are as outlined
in my memo to you, entitled "RV Training, FY '83," dated 16 December 1982.
4. With regard to scheduling, a recommended pace for advancing through
Stages I
- III consists of an approximately 24-week effort, broken up
into working sessions of one- to two-weeks duration each, interspersed by
two- or three-week breaks. This estimate of timing is flexible, however,
as the training is self-paced, and can therefore be somewhat longer or
shorter, depending on the progress of the trainee.
5. The cost breakdown based on the 24-week scheduling is as follows: $54K
for the first trainee, $12K for additional trainees, if training for
multiple individuals is carried out concurrently. Otherwise, the first
figure holds for each trainee (simply because of the time committment), if
carried out on an individual basis.
6. In order to begin total transfer of the RV technology to the client, it is
recommended that the client send a previously-trained remote viewer to
train as a training monitor, to run concurrently with the new trainee(s).
Additional cost for this would be the same as for an additional trainee
($12K ).

. The above time/cost estimates are based on our experience to date as to
the rate at which trainees have progressed through the various stages in
previous training cycles, and are therefore considered to be the time and
cost to complete the requisite stages. Should the training progress take
somewhat more time, the above costs would cover completion of the stages.
Should any significant deviation from the above rate appear to be
developing, any changes in appropriateness of continuation, scheduling,
or cost would be determined jointly on the basis of close coordination
between SRI and the client.
8. With regard to location of the training, it is anticipated that certain of
the training periods, especially those that have to do with testing and
evaluation of trainee progress, will be carried out at the SRI Menlo Park
facility. For routine training, SRI has made arrangements to make
space available at SRI Washington and SRI New York, and additional
arrangements for training at, e.g., the client location can be explored.
