    MEMORANDUM FOR CHIEF, OFFICE FOR GROUND FORCES, DEFENSE
    INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20340-5100
    SUBJECT: STAR GATE Program (U)
    In reference to your letter, subject as above, dated June 20, 1994, the
    Army Science Board (ASS) must decline your offer to participate on the
    proposed Scientific Evaluation Panel (SEP),
    Because our 8oard members lack the prerequisite background knowledge
    of the STAR GATE technology area, it is felt that the ASB could not provide an
    individual who could review the program's R&D objectives in a 1-2 day time
    frame and determine if the objectives are viable and executable, It is feared that
    such an attempt would result in the individual "voting his/her initial prejudices"
    which would in all probability be unfair to the program. It is felt that a rigorous
    scientific and technical review of the program should involve an effort by a 5-10
    person panel over a more extensive period of time. Unfortunately, due to
    existing and proposed taskings from Army customers, it would be extremely
    difficult for the ASB to commit to support such an undertaking.
    As an alternative to utilizing representatives from the Service Scientific
    Advisory Boards to review the program, you may went to consider tasking the
    DIA Scientific Advisory Board to perform a detailed program review and ask the
    Service Boards, along with the Defense Science Board, to comment on their
    findings and recommendations. This may be more manageable to the Service
    Boards from a resource and expertise perspective,
