Introduction
I'm
with the Atuerican Institutes for Research (AIR) in
Washington, DC, a company that specializes in social and behavioral research. Under the direction
of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), AIR is currently evaluating a program which researches
alternative techniques to enhancing human performance. One alternative technique in review is
Remote Viewing (RV).
Through a review of the research conducted on remote viewing, this evaluation program will help
determine whether this research has any long-term practical value for the intelligence community,
and if it does, what changes should be made in methods and approach to enhance the value of
remote viewing research.
Currently, a review is being conducted on completed remote viewing research. Concurrent with
that process, Interviews are being conducted with potential and actual users of remote viewing data
in the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. We are hoping that you will be
able to assist us today. I will ask some questions pertaining to whether or not you could use this
type of information, the value you would place on this type of information, and how it might be
used in your work. The entire session should take about an hour and a half.
Your participation is voluntary and, at any time during the session, you may stop participating.
You don't have to answer any question that you don't want to. The answers you give us will be
seen only by authorized people working on this project. Your answers are confidential and will be
used for research purposes only. Your name won't be linked to your answers.
Before we begin, would you read this consent form and sign it if you agree to participate? This is
the only form that will have your name on it, and it will be kept separate from the rest of the
materials.
Give consent form.
Do you have any questions about anything so far?
