SG1J TO- Director, DT-S SUBJECT: Proposal for and initial specifications of Project SUN STREAK bibliographic database. (U) re: Memorandum, "Database programming for SUN STREAK bibliography (U)", 01 NOV 90 1. (U) In accordance with verbal tas[%ing received on 31 OCT 90, the following design for a bibliographic database has been generated and requires approval before programming can continue. 1 2. (U) PURPOSE: To provide Operation SUN STREAK with a bibliographic database which will allow timely retrieval of information about books, articles, papers, etc. in print on subjects related to SUN STREAK theories, principles, and SUN STREAK.. (U) EQUIPMENT: The database programming will use DATABASE III+ as a database vehicle, working on a Zenith 240 stand-alone system (IBM compatible). 4. (U) PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS: In-house generated programming will handle input/output operations, set up of data fields, input of data, and backup and maintenance of the data files. a. DATA INPUT: 1) Programming will include a specialized user interface program which will allow simple input, editing, and deletion of records by more than one user. 2) Provision is made for bulk entry, typed in from bibliographic lists, or by single entry, as any one Project Officer finds a new book or magazine article and wants it added to the database. 3) Programming will allow for merging of data records which have been input by several different users on different machines. b. INFORMATION RETRIEVAL: The database fields will be specifically designed to meet the following retrieval requirements: 1) Find an entry according to title (or from input of only a part of the title, if that is all the requestor can remember). 2) Find an entry according to author.

C. Subject matter fields which will be tracked are as follows (in alphabetic order): 1) Animal ESP 2) Automatic writing :71) Bilocation 4) Biological aspects of ESP Channeling/ mediumship, 6) Clairvoyancy 7) Dowsing B) ESP aids (use of hypnosis, drugs, etc.) 9) Evaluation techniques 10) Governmental (foreign & domestic) involvement 11) History of ESP 12) Levitation 13) Out-of-body experiences 14) Personalities 15) Psychokinesis 16) Poltergeist phenomena 17) Predictive methodologies 18) Reincarnation Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720001-2 Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789ROO3700720001-2 19) Research 20) Search 211) Techniques used in ESP 22) Telepathy / mental transference 23) Termi nol ogy 24) Ti-ie-ories of ESP Viewing (remote viewing) d. FORMAT: Both data entry and information retrieval will be accomplished using the an input screen similar to the following (new fields may be added as the program is finalized): ----------------------------------------------------------------- !
