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
CIA D/OCA
and CIA EX/DIR
to discuss an option, pending the study
results, of the DIA "viewer's" 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.

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 but 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 with the STARGATE program remain in DIA
until the completion of the assessment.
