STARGATE
Of the funds available to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Committee directs that
$500,000 be applied to the STARGATE program and that the current 10 billets remain
assigned to the program. The Committee requests that funds be applied roughly equally to
foreign assessment, research and operational viewing. The Committee is concerned that
SG1A Congressional direction in the past regarding the solicitation of users across the NFIP and
DoD and development of joint programs with the Russians and Chinese has only been
sporadically pursued. The Committee remains perplexed by the obvious reluctance of
support on the part of the DIA leadership for this program,
The Committee also believes that the time
has come for a re-evaluation of the classification of the existence of this effort as well as the
results that have been obtained over time. If the DIA has difficulty filling the billets that
have been set aside for this activity by DIA personnel, consideration should be given to using
them for liaison purposes with appropriate user organizations. Thus, the Committee wishes
renewed effort on the part of DIA to pursue the following work schedule in FY 95:
The DCI is requested to construct a retrospective review and technical analysis of the
data that has been produced by the program since its inception 20 years ago. This
includes an inventory and analysis of the files held in the CIA, while it administered
the program as well as in DIA, The study should also address the compliance of the
program with Congressional direction.
The DCI's declassification committee should review the history and nature of this
program to determine what parts of it may be declassified and be converted into an
openworld activity.
The Director of DIA is requested to initiate further contacts with individuals involved
in the Russian program to establish an open-world, declassified activity of cooperation
between the two programs and report to the oversight Committees by February 1,
1995 on the results of his initiatives in this regard.
Prior to the letting of contracts with outside entities, the Committee requests to be
notified according to established notification procedures.

STARGATE
In the post-cold war era, the nature and activities of the
STARGATE Program are more relevant to the mission of the
Central Intelligence Agency Program (CIAP) than the military
intelligence services. Therefore, the conferees direct the Director
of DIA to transfer ten civilian billets and $500,000 that are
currently dedicated to the STARGATE program to the CIAP. The
transfer of STARGATE resources and management to the CLAP
should be completed by July 1, 1995. The conferees direct the
DCI to submit a status report to the appropriate committees by
March 1, 1995. The report must include 1) management
strategy; 2) transfer status; and 3) identification of a program
manager. The directions for STARGATE included in the Senate
report are adopted by the conferees.
