Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3000450004-6 SECRET STATEMENT OF WORK FOR PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS 1.0 (S/NF) PURPOSE: 'r,,,L- purpose of this effort is to initiate new research and perform select analyses of anomalous phenomena. 2.0 (U) BACKGROUND: J. (C) Phenomenological research and analysis as intended by this contract refers to anomalc)us phenomena associated with human abilities. Investigations in this area have sometimes been referred to as Remote Viewing (RV), Extrasensory Perception (ESP), and recently Anomalous Cognition (AC) or AnofnalOUS Phenomena.. (AP). Foreign researchers have also used -the term psychoenergetics to describe aspects of these areas. SG1 B 2. '2. (S/iqF) Over the past fiftIeen years DlA 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.

Additional funds are also anticipated for this area after a comprehensive research plan is defined. ~.O (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 Tor future activities, and to identify/improve application potential. 4.0 C) r- SCOPE: Basic research, applied research and threat assessments will. be arr-omplished 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 be brought 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 SAIC ,consultant 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.
