(U) This MER outlines the major points of the briefing I gave to MG Stubblebine on 30 June 1981. Following personnel attended the briefing: MG STUBBLEBINE, CG, INSCOM BG FLYNN, DCG-I COL(P) WEINSTEIN, DCG-S COL WHITE, ADCSOPS-HUMINT MR. GARRETT, DDCSOPS-HUMINT LTC JACHIM, INCOMING PROJECT MANAGER LTC WATT, PROJECT MANAGER 2. (U) Intl 1 covers the primary points of my briefing and depicts the status of the program as of 26 June 1981. 3. (U) MG Stubblebine instructed us to ensure that there wore no legal problems concerning our joint contractual effort with DIA, especially to be watchful of mixing OM&A and R&D monies as this is forbidden by regulations. I informed the CG that OACSI was currently researching the problem, and we would ensure that all aspects of INSCOM's involvement complied with the regula- tions. 4. (S/NOFORN) I briefed the current plans for FY81 and FY82, including problems we have had with the contract for FY81. I explained that we still had not transferred the 130K to DIA because the Army General Consul (AGC) and DoD General Consul could not agree on the "Human Use Issue." I mentioned that we had received word from OACSI (MAJ O'Keefe) that Congressman Rose had called the Secretary of Army about the situation. In turn, the Secretary had called AGC and instructed that the issue be settled promptly. Although INSCOM is not at fault for the delay, I pointed out that the excessive delay hurts the program as a whole and could give the impression of poor project management. MG Stubblebine will discuss the issue with the ACSI (MG Thompson) on 2 July 1.981. Regarding FY 82, I explained that our current budget for FY82 will result in a short-fall of approximately 50K to carry out the recommended work with SRI. MG Stubblebine felt that end-of-year funds could be used to make up the difference. 5. (U) MG Stubblebine reviewed some of the customer evaluations that we have received. He expressed the thought that the evaluations were a clear indication that we were on to something and that work in this area had to continue and be fully supported.

(U) I outlined our current plans for bringing new personnel on board and what we had already done in this regard.. The CC fully supported our ideas. BG Flynn concurred, but reminded all that full-time strength cannot exceed current task force level (i.e.-9 people). 7. (U) CC expressed strong interest in some of our OPSEC work and wants us to continue work in that area. 8. (U)_ COL (P) Weinstein recommended that we consider training techniques that involved work with names of individuals and places. 9. (U) The CG voiced strong support for the program and stressed that we keep him informed of progress and of any problems we encounter. Meeting adjourned at 1730 hours. 1.

General The objectives of this effort are as follows: (1) Continue investigations and other efforts that will provide more accurate and more reliable remote viewings. (2) Continue to observe, evaluate and report findings of foreign psi research. (3) Continue investigating countermeasures to remote viewing and other psi phenomena. (4) Assess the optimum utilization and application of remote viewing and other psi phenomena to intelligence functions. 2.0 Specific Tasks (FY'82) 2.1 Bring remote viewing abilities of at least three individuals to a point where data are at least 60% accurate. 2.1.1 Demonstrate the 60% accuracy, at the close of the year, on a series of real operational targets. 2.1.2 Evaluate foreign literature and assess how close other nations are to having a remote viewing capability. 2.2 Review and evaluate all foreign research on psi and prepare a series of reports on the capabilities of the leading nations.
