PROJECT OVERSIGHT PANEL
I.
(U) PURPOSE:
(U) The purpose of this report is to document results of
the first meeting of the Project Oversight Panel and to identify
its basic role for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) .
II.
(U) BACKGROUND:
(S/NF) A STAR GATE Project Oversight Panel has been
established in order to review the overall approach used by the
DIA Assistant Deputy Directorate for Scientific and Technical
Intelligence regarding evaluation and assessment of STAR GATE
data. Oversight Panel members represent a diversity of
scientific and management backgrounds and were drawn from DIA's
Advisory Board, from the DIA General Council (GC), and from the
DIA Inspector General (IG) office. These individuals are as
follows:
Mr.
SG1J
Mr.
Mr. Robert L. Smith
General Dynamics, Pomona, CA
Dr. Clarence H. Stewart
Processing Research, Inc.,
Vienna, VA
Dr. Michael A. Wartell
Sandia National Laboratory,
Albuquerque, NM
This panel is chaired by Dr. Wartell.
III.
(U) DISCUSSION:
SG1J
(U) The first Oversight Panel meeting was held on 9 April
201
present. Others present were
DT), and representatives from
DT-3, DT-5 and DT-S. The meeting attendees are shown at
enclosure 1.
SG1J
(S/NF) At this first meeting,
provided welcome
and introductory remarks, discussed overall meeting objectives,
summarized project background, and reviewed the charters for the
Oversight Panel (enclosure 2) and the STAR GATE activity
(enclosure 3). The primary function of the Oversight Panel is to
provide the Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific and
Technical Intelligence advice/council on STAR GATE project

activities management and procedures, and to provide guidance on
the evaluation and assessment for the data generated by project
STAR GATE.SG1J
(U)
then presented additional details on
project evolution and recent activity. The Panel had numerous
detailed questions and pursued many avenues of discussion that
helped provide additional insight. Not all questions could be
addressed in the depth desired due to time constraints.
Consequently, the Panel could not draw firm conclusions on all of
the program aspects as identified in the Panel Charter. The
Panel members felt that additional briefings/discussions would be
required to permit an in-depth review of project evolution,
previous research support, current directions, and research
activities. The panel also expressed interest in reviewing
future research objectives and long range plans.
(U) Even though not all objectives of this first meeting
were met, the Panel was pleased with the frankness/candor in
which all questions were addressed. For some Panel members, this
was their first exposure to this topic; the background and
tutorial aspects of the replies were greatly appreciated.
(U) The Panel agreed to hold the next meeting on 30 May
1991 at the DIAC in order to continue their in-depth review that
would focus on previous work and future goals/directions. It was
also recommended that Dr. Ed May, the principle researcher in
this area, be invited to present details of the research history
and upcoming research activity.
(U) Minute preparation was then initiated and the meeting
was adjourned on schedule.
