     1. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) In response to a Congressionally Directed
     Action of January 1994 (enclosure 1), the Defense Intelligence
     Agency has prepared a proposed multi-year research and
     development program plan, subject to rigorous scientific and
     technical oversight, to investigate the scientific validity of
     the STAR GATE program. The focus of the plan is to ascertain

     Scientific Evaluation Panel (SEP) composed of representatives
     from each of t'he Service scientific Advisory Boards. The purpose
     of the SEP will be to review and validate the program's research
     and development objectives and to make recommendations as to
     which objectives should be pursued and the program,scope required
     to achieve those objectives. If the Scientific Evaluation Panel
     determines that objectives in the plan are viable and executable,
     the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Manager will
     compete this initiative with others for limited available
     resources remaining in the program. The enclosed Terms of
     Reference (TOR) (enclosure 2) is provided to familiarize the SEP
     with proposed program objectives, scientific oversight
     methodology, program management, and anticipated contract
     deliverables. Listing of terminology and definitions is at

     name of your nominee who could serve as an impartial member of
     the Scientific Evaluation Panel. The Panel will convene
     30 June - 1 July 1994 in room B3-122 at the Defense Intelligence
     Analysis Center (DIAC), Bolling AFB.
