Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3000410002-2 SECRET STATEMENT OF WORK FOR PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS 1.0 (S/NF) PURPOSE: The purpose of this effort is to initiate new research and perform select analyses of anomalous phenomena. 2.0 (U) BACKGROUND: 2.1 (C) Phenomenological research and analysis as intended by this contract refers to anomalous phenomena associated with human abilities. Investigations in this area have sometimes been referred to as Remote Viewing (W), Extrasensory Perception (ESP), and recently Anomalous Cognition (AC) or Anomalous Phenomena'(AP). Foreign researchers have also used the term psychoenergetics to describe aspects,of.these areas. SG113 - 2.2 (S/NF) Over the past fift .een years DIA has followed the field of psychoenergetics for two basic reasons: 2.4 (S/NF) In 1983 a report with project findings was sent to congressional intelligence and appropriation committees. The report affirmed the existence of remote viewing phenomenon and recommended that additional research for quantifying and developing remote viewing as an intelligence collection tool be pursued. This recommendation was endorsed by a special Science Panel that met to review the project findings. This panel also affirmed that the contractual research was scientifically sound and urged that basic and applied research in psychoenergetics be continued, its scope expanded, and that other laboratories be involved.

The Department of the Army's Surgeon General Office for Research and Development (DASGRD) initiated a five year research and development program. 1he SGRD program centered on two main aspects: basic anomalous phenomena understanding, and applications-oriented research. DIA established close ties with this R/D effort to ensure that applications research would be adequately pursued. 1.b (S/NF) 1n 1.987, it became apparent that SGRD funding might not be available to carry through to the end of the five year period. Consequently, additional -funding was sought by DIA and acquired through funding transfer action by the House Appropriations Committee (HAM. This funding was provided to DIA; r11PR action to the SGRD contract was the most expeditious method of allocating this funding. 2.7 (S/NF) Results of this effort yielded several findings of breakthrough potential. Subsequently; follow-on research support was provided to DIA by Congressional action for FY91; DIA was identified as the C-14ecutive agent-due to long-standing knowledge and expertise in this area. both R&D and O/M funds were allocated for continuing basic and applied research, for applied investigation and for assisting in assessment of relevant foreign research. Additional funds are also anticipated for this area after a comprehensive research plan. is defined. 7 1.0 (S/NF) OBJECTIVE: The objective of this contract is to pursue the most promising basic and applied research in this area, to develop a comprehensive plan for future activities, and to identify/improve application potential. 4.0 (S/14r') SCOPE: Basic research, applied research and threat assessments will be accomplished for this phenomenological area. 5.0 (S/NF) TECHNICAL/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: 5.1 (S/NF) All research activities and findings resulting from previous programs in psychoenergetics shall bebrought to bear on this effort. In addition, expertise in multidisciplinary areas throughout SAIC shall be made available as consultants or for special support as required. 5.2 (U) Specialized support, if not available at SAIC, can be obtained via SAICconsultant or subcontract efforts with prior approval by the COTR. Every effort should be made to insure such support is from the recognized experts in the field. Some of the specific tasks in section 6.0 can be performed in unclassified facilities. 5.3 (S/NF) This effort will utilize a technical. review group (e.g., a Scientific Oversight Committee, a Human Use Review Panel and a Policy Board). Their establishment will be in coordination with, and approved by, the COTR.

All such investigations will be fully planned and coordinated with the COTR and will be under the purviews of the SOC and the Human Use Review Committee. 5.5 (U) Should un+orseen schedule of other issues arise concerning any of the specific tasks identified in section 6.0, the COTR will be given immediate notice. If necessary, adjustments to priorities and schedules can be approved by the COTR if there is no cost or other impact on the over-all program. The COTP will also review/approve all anticipated research protocols. 5.6 (U) All items in section 6.0 (except 6.5) will be funded from the R&D portion of this contract. Sections 6.1 through 6.4 shall be expended NLT 18 months after contract award. Section 6.5 will be funded from the O&M portion, and shall be expended no later than 30 September 1991. Accounting procedures to clearly identify the R&D and the O&M expeditures shall be- - implemented by the contractor. 5.7 (U) Terms of reference and additional task details are on file by the COTR and will be provided to the contractor to insure adequate task understanding.
