           ADMINISTRATIVE SUMMARY
                The purpose of this report was to provide a stringent analysis of
           the experimental methods-and procedures used by the leading researchers
           in the area of Remote Viewing. The result i-s an even handed, thorough
           analysis of the principal U.S. research on the topic.. The findings set
           forth by the authors can best be said in their own words; "Research
           conducted and reported to date has a number of inaccuracies,
           inconsistencies,- and methodological weaknesses sufficient to cause
           concern over its validity. If all results are accepted without question,
           on balance, the fidelity of the remote viewing channel appears to be of
           limited value.
           Effectively, these results indicate that the research efforts
           evaluated in this report must be considered as exploratory. Definitive
           research on remote viewing is still to be accomplished. The authors
           have set forth a series of research design recommendations that if
           followed by future researdh efforts should enable a truly scientific
           assessment of remote viewing applications to intelligence collection to be
           SG1 I
           accomplished.
