SUBJECT: STAR GATE Program (U)
1. " (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) In response to a Congressionally Directed Action of
January 1994 (enclosure 1), the Defense Intelligence Agency has prepared a
proposed multi-year research and development program plan, subject to rigorous
scientific and technical oversight, to investigate the scientific validity of
the STAR GATE program. The focus of the plan is to ascertain whether results
of military intelligence value can be obtained in a cost-effective manner
using anomalous mental phenomena (AMP).
2. (S/NF) The Defense Intelligence Agency proposes to convene a Scientific
Evaluation Panel (SEP) composed of representatives from each of the Service
Scientific Advisory Boards. The purpose of the SEP will be to review and
validate the program's research and development objectives and to make
recommendations as to which objectives should be pursued and the program scope
required to achieve those objectives. If the Scientific Evaluation Panel
determines that objectives in the plan are viable and executable, the General
Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Manager will compete this initiative with
others for limited available resources remaining in the program. The enclosed
Terms of Reference (TOR) (enclosure 2) is provided to familiarize the SEP with
proposed program objectives, scientific oversight methodology, program
management, and anticipated contract deliverables. Listing of terminology and
definitions is at enclosure 3.
3. (U) It is requested that this office be provided with the name of your
nominee who could serve as an impartial member of the Scientific Evaluation
Panel. The Panel will convene 11-12 July 1994 in room B3-134 at the Defense
Intelligence Analysis Center (DIAC), Bolling AFB.
