   Analysis and Review of Remote Viewing Paranormal ResearW,,
   Upon receipt of contract, Systemetrics, Inc. personnel will meet with
   designated personnel of the Central Intelligence Agency to discuss and agree
   upon detailed plans ind timetables for the first four tasks indicated below.
   For costing and planning purposes, however, the following program tasks and
   outputs are considered representative.
   Task 1. Background Literature Review
   Generally -review all background literature, largely summary papers and
   books, to generate an overall appreciation of the history of research, claims,-
   criticisms, and results of investigations in paranormal psychology. Because-
   the investigators bring a strength of experimental objectivity to this effort
   rather than a theoretical or historical paranormal psychology bias, this task
   is necessary and desirable.
   .Task 2. Current In-Depth Literature Review
   Conduct a thorough, detailed search of all pertinent U.S. literature since
   1950 with potential application of remote viewing (or out-of-body) results to
   intelligence systems and intelligence data collection. For each potential
   literature source, critically evaluate it with respect to 'criteria such as
   appropriateness of methodology, subject bias, experimenter bias, partial data
   SGFOIA2
   reporting, appropriateness of statistical analysis, appropriateness of conclusions,
   and applicability of results to intelligence systems. In order to apply this
   last criterion, necessary c earances and intelligence system briefings/information
   will be secured from the sponsoring agency.

        It will undoubtedly be necessary to visit selected laboratories conducting
   paranormal investigations to obtain additional information regarding stimulus/
   response materials, reporting formats and instructions, perhaps raw data, etc.
   In addition, it is expected that some advisory help will be required from members
   of the Committee for the Investigation of the Paranormal.
   Task 4. Evaluation Report
   Prepare an in-depth summary report of all literature reviewed. This report
   will contain a critique of each pertinent literature source, as well as summary
   analyses, pro and con, of the applicability of the paranormal remote viewing and
   related literature tointelligence systems. Contents of this report will be used
   to determine whether the subsequent tasks, indicated below, should be conduceed.
   Task 5. Foreign Literature Review
   Extend the detailed literature search and review of Tasks 2 and 3 to foreign
   literature sources. ~A:snecessary, visit foreign laboratories and investigatord- to
   obtain additional information. Prepare summary report, similar to that of Task 4,
   on this foreign research literature.
   Task 6. Critical Experimentation Description
   Based upon the conclusions in the reports of Tasks 4 and 5, describe in detail
   critical experiments and/or analyses to resolve any questions regarding possible
   application of paranormal remote viewing literature to intelligence systems.
   Task 7. Conduct of Critical Experiments
   In conjunction with investigators selected by the sponsoring agency, oversee
   the conduct of the critical experiments described in Task 6. It is assumed that
   these experiments will be contracted directly to other investigators, and that
