  I. (U) BACKGROUNDISTATUS:
  1. (U) PY 1991:
  a. (S/NP/SG/LIMDIS) DIA received congressional direction
  in FY 1991 to initiate a new program in anomalous phenomena:
  - $2 million funding received ($1.5 mil R&D, $0.5 mil
  O&M).
  - objectives included formulating a long-range
  comprehensive plan, developing an integrated foreign
  data base, publishing foreign assessments, developing
  proper documentation, obtaining external assistance.
  b. (SINFISGILINDIS) Major accomplishments during FY 1991
  included:
  - LIMDIS project established 31 January 1991.
  - Documented detailed account of accomplishments to
  BSCI on 15 May 1991.
  - Published Foreign Assessment, Long-Range
  Comprehensive Plan by 30 May 1991.
  - Published/documented all other project requirements
  by June 1991.
  - External contract on line by July 1991.
             - Emphasized foreign data base development; initiated
             select basic research/application research projects.
  - Completed first phase of magnetoencep#alograph (XEG)
  brain wave measurement work at Los Alamos National
  Laboratory (LANL).
  - Planning completed for a now significant research
  project scheduled for 30 March 1992 that may isolate
  transmission mechanisms.

  2. (U) FY 1992:
  a. (S/NF/SG/LINDIS) DIA received additional congressional
  direction in FY 1992:
  - Additional $2 million R&D funding provided for
  research and operations.
  -DIA to dedicate 10 civilian billets to project.
  - Even balanced to be maintained with foreign
  assessment, operational activity, and research.
  - operational users to be identifiedp report on
  overall 2-year architecture to be prepared.
  b. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Major accomplishments thus far in FY
  1992:
  - Initial phase of facility modifications were
  completed in Dee 1991.
  - Research support plans were completed in Nov 1991.
  - Second phase of MEG measurements completed Jan 1992;
  new long-term research project support initiated in
  Jan 1992 (distance/target type variables,
  communication investigations, lucid dreaming).
  - Major operational consumers were recontacted by Feb
  1992 and plans were initiated for specific support
  timing, to include extended on-site TDY.
  Some limited ops projects were accomplished.
  others are scheduled for the near-term.
  - Follow-on and new research requirements were
  identified; comprehensive contract packages entered
  final coordination by 11 Feb 1992.
