faxed this to me. I asked him to relay to their DIA Congressional Office
contract the essence of the meeting, sensitive part (what each Senator thinks) and to add that
Mr. D'Amato told us that DIA had not done the foreign assessment work and had assigned the
people to inferior jobs. I called
C/DIA personnel today to advise that we had
been asked by Mr. D'Amato to consider temporary assignments for the people to work on one
aspect of this activity. She indicated they had been assigned to DIA jobs, that DIA considered
them gainfully employed, and that she understood it might take us some time to resolve the
issues.

STARGATE (Remote Viewing Program) Briefing for SAC Staffer Dick D'Amato
SG11
Mr. D'Amato believes CIA is making a good faith effort and understands no decisions will be
made until the "blue-ribbon" panel reports in late September. Mr. D'Amato is concerned with
the reaction of four Senators and the fate of the DIA personnel assigned to the program. He will
call
to discuss an option, pending the
study results, of the DIA "viewers" being offered a rotational assignment to CIA studying foreign
remote viewing. He believes the STARGATE staff is being poorly used at DIA.
raised, and Mr. D'Amato understands, the problems of "raising false hopes" that might
accompany such an assignment.
SG11
Mr. D'Amato says Sen. Pell is a true believer but is retiring; Sen. Inouye is interested but won't
intervene; Sen. Cohen is very interested by not publicly; and Sen. Glenn is interested enough
that he might write a letter supporting continued research.
The CIA/DS&T delegation gave an excellent, balanced overview of the project:
The "blue-ribbon" scientific panel assessment that CIA is sponsoring will be completed by 30
September 1995. CIA indicated it will abide by the results of that effort concerning the future
of this program.
We believe we have formed a credible panel of experts under the study being managed by
American Institutes of Research.
CIA prefers that the DIA personnel associated the STARGATE program remain in DIA until the
completion of the assessment.
