1. (U) Responses appended at inclosure correspond to paragraphs in inclosure 1 of
the 16 Feb 82 ADCSOPS-HUMINT DF, subject as above.
2. (C) My perception of this requirement is that the information requested is but
one more attempt to validate the programmed side of the psychic/psychometric business
that plagued us here during the Dozier crisis. Responses, therefore, rep-resent a
"first cut";this Unit does not have the resources to provide continuing or amplified
data to help develop the tenuous status of expertise in that area. Any further task-
ing that requires me to exact my limited resources against similar projects should be
formally and correctly levied through this Detachment's chain of command. My input
to program measurement is this: Not one of the "data packages" was useful in finding
and freeing BG Dozier. The reports drained our resources, embarrassed us with the
Italians, and confused crisis management. BG Dozier is with us now due to extraordin-
arily dedicated, patient and patently effective police work by the Italians. His re-
lease, alive and unharmed, was engineered by policemen using good police intelligence,
applying excellent training and tested techniques, and above all, producing results.
The psychicJS were never even close.
