Conclusions

been accomplished because of a lack.of controls, documentation, repeatability
and other limitations.
Recommendations
1. Exploratory testing of the utility of these unexplained capabilities
should continue and increase in scope.
2. Until sufficient and compelling observations or theories are
advanced, basic scientific research on these capabilities and their
characteristics are unlikely to be successful.
3. A central coordination and review authority for all GRILLFLAME

 Strong Disagreement with the Following
   I. There are no sufficient and compelling arguments In the report to
 recommend termination of the MICOM PK and AMSAA RV experiment currently
 underway.
   2. The unqualified, condemnation of the "SRI approach" is-not
 understood or acceptable without further explanation.
   Finally, the working group notes it was most disappointed by the
 lack of original thought in the report. From the viewpoint and
 experience of this committee, this report has added no new information
 of value to either advancing the utility or dismissing the Importance of
 these infrequent, but impressive unexplained capabilities.
