  SUBJECT: Training of INSCOM Selected Personnel cc
  SG1J
  As you know, Col. Jachim of INSCOM has requested through that
  we provide a memo pertaining to our CRV training procedures relative to
  two INSCOM personnel entering into the program for orientation and
  training.
  This memo is a little overdue, in part because of the recent difficulties
  and uncertainties in funding, and in part because the complex structure
  of our developed training procedures.
  I am providing here a general overview of the procedures and certain
  recommendations.
  General Description of Developed CRV Training Procedures
  Since 1976, we have conducted R&D on phenomena encountered in attempting
  to view distant sites by non-sensory means. These concentrated efforts
  have resulted in the identification of certain signals, interpreted by
  us to be of non-sensory origin. Many of these signals have been confirmed
  through repetitive testing on volunteers.
  A series of these signals have been organized into a structural form that
  avails itself of workable comprehension, and the chief characteristics
  within this structure display dependable relationships to each other.
  These characteristics can be presented in an educational form to a trainee
  of proper calibre through a method that includes tutelage and coaching.
  This system of orientation and training enables the trainee to identify,
  practice, take command of and utilize the signals in a meaningful and
  predictable manner.
  To date, we have ascertained with certainty the structure and limitations
  of three consecutive signal lines. These signal lines are of fundamental
  importance to any attempt in coming to grips with the vicissitudes of
  non-sensory functioning. We identify these signal lines as "stages," and
  I believe we can proceed to consider training two INSCOM selected person-
  nel in the phenomena of stage one.

            Contents of Stage One Training
            General orientation.
            Major stage one signals, lectures and practical exercises.
            Major sources of noise, lectures.
            Stage one signal identification, lectures and practical exercises.
            Specific components of stage one signals, lectures.
            Specific components of noise interference, lectures.
            Types of major stage one signals, lectures and practical exercises.
            Simultaneous handling of signals and noise, practical exercises.
            Objectification procedures, lectures and practical exercises.
            Analysis of signals, lectures and practical exercises.
            Anomalies encountered in signal identification.
            Self-correcting mechanisms inherent in signal/analysis, lectures.
            Methods of recording, preparing and presenting work materials, lectures
            and practical exercises.
                 Culminating features of stage one signals, leading to emergence of stage
            two signals, lectures
            Note: each of these stage one features are carefully presented and
            overseen by the training monitor. Trainees are required to keep full
            notes, remaining proprietary to SRI psychoenergetics projects; numerous
            essays on each feature will be requested from the trainees to ensure
            competency of understanding.
                 Final checking to ensure that competency has been gained concerning stage
            one phenomena.
            Suggested Recommendations
                 (1) INSCOM should be invited to select two personnel of appropriate
            calibre who might embark upon stage one training and orientation.
                 (2) The appropriateness of these personnel should be arrived at
            through mutual considerations. INSCOM should be invited to evaluate their
            choice of personnel through a type of selection procedure that fairly
            incorporates our experience and recommendations.
