  PROJECT REVIEW BOARD
  I. (U) PURPOSE:
  (U) The purpose of this report is to document establishment
  of the Project Review Board (PRB) and to identify its basic role.
  II (U) DISCUSSION:
  (SINF) A Project Review Board (PRB) has been established in
  DIA to review and evaluate the overall results and procedures
  used by DT in developing and evaluating data obtained via the
  DT-S methodology. The PRB members selected represent a diversity
  of backgrounds, and were drawn from various DIA elements. They
  are senior-level people who were Judged to be open to new Ideas
  and who could be relied upon to function in an unbiased manner,
  neither pro or con. PRB members are as follows:
  SGU
  This board is chaired by Mr Berbrich, DIA/DT.
      SGU (U) The first PRB meeting was held on 3 January 1991, and
  all members were present. (DT-S)
  attended as observers and recorders.
  (SINF) At this first meeting, Mr Berbrich provided a
  background briefing on this project that covered: (1) key
  program historical events; (2) the recent operational test phase
  and MIB review; (3) and recent Congressional interest and
  resulting funds provided to DIA for pursuing this area. This was
  essentially the same briefing that was provided to Congressional
  committee members on 8 October and on 20 November 1990.
  (SINF) During this briefing, particular attention was given
  to the recent Congressional action. It included an overview of
  the external research objectives and the anticipated role of DT-S
  in support of the basic and applied research activities. In
  addition, Mr Berbrich provided considerable detail on DIA/DT's
  plans and procedures for developing, evaluating and assessing any
  data that might be generated by the DT-S unit. Figure I is a
  flow diagram that illustrates this process. The PRB agreed that
  this was a reasonable approach and that they were in support of
  the various steps, including their own review role as shown.
  (U) At the conclusion of the briefing, all members were
  queried regarding their future involvement. All members agreed

         to accept the PRB responsibilityr none had any difficulties with
         the subject area, and all seemed to be willing to perform their
         PRB duties from a neutral perspective-
              (U) the PRB agreed to meet about every 2 months. Records
         will be kept of future meetings and entered into the DT-S project
