MEMO
To: LTC Robert J. Jachim

From: Dr. H. E. Puthoff
Subject: Special Orientation Technique (S V - S VI)
Date: 27 May 1983
Location: G-219
CC:
Reference: Your Memo, Special Orientation Technique,
dated 25 April 1983
1. In response to your memo, and as a follow-on to my memo entitled "RV
Training, FY '83, " dated 16 December 1982 (which covers Stages I - IV),
following is a description of the contents of Stages V and VI, and the
proposed efforts concerning their transfer to client personnel.
2. Stage V Training:
Stage V consists of a methodology to interrogate the "signal" line. As
such, it is used by the viemer on an optional basis when additional
qualitative information is required to identify the nature of the target
site. If the purpose and function of the target site has been uncovered
by $ 1 - S IV efforts, then the viewer proceeds directly to Stage VI;
otherwise S V techniques must be employed.
(a) General orientation
(b) Major Stage V theory and lectures, accompanied by essay
requirements to show understanding
(c) Specific interrogation methods with regard to Stage V signals;
lectures and practical exercises
(d) Listing of signal contents, and training of objectification
procedures of Stage V interrogation processes; practical
exercises
(e)
Special noise components to be expected as a result of
interrogation of signal line, lectures and practical exercises
(f) Anomalies encountered in implementing Stage V processes
(g) Lack of self-correcting mechanisms during implementation of
Stage V
(h) Guidelines as to when to resort to, and when to stop, use of
Stage V techniques in a given viewing

3. Stage VI Training:
SECRET
Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500120041-9
Stage
training consists of learning how to use special modeling
techniques to increase dimensional contact with the target site, and hom
to read the signal lines thereby activated.
(a) General orientation
(b)
Introduction to the use of physical materials that can be
utilized to achieve Stage VI yields, and the order in which they
can be utilized
(c) The prime Stage VI signal line; lectures and practical exercises
(d)
Time tolerance guide; lectures
(e) Running of Stage IV techniques in tandem with Stage VI
activities; lectures and practical exercises
4. With regard to scheduling, approximately four weeks of additional R&D
effort ( that could not be fitted into the FY '83 effort because of the
need to move ahead with accommodating training of selected personnel) is
required to complete stabilization of Stage V. (Stage VI is complete. )
Following this, the recommended pace For advancing through Stages V and VI
consists of an approximately 10-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 therefore depends on the progress of the
trainee.
6.
The above time/cost estimates are based on our experience to date as to
the rate at which trainees progress through the various training cycles.
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.
