STATEMENT OF WORK: PSYCHOENERGETICS
(THREAT TO US AND POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS)
The objective of this effort is to investigate in detail certain
psychoenergetic phenomena that have potential military applications.
Emphasis will be on evaluating application potential and limitations of
such phenomena, and to provide such knowledge as gaindd under this
contract to appropriate DoD agencies who will evaluate the significance of
foreign work, particularly as it may pose a threat to the US.
Major emphasis will be.on evaluating remote viewing phenomena and in
particular, targeting aspects, via coordinate or other methods. Related to
this are training methods, methods of enhancing (reliability and repeat-
ability of the phenomena.

- TECHNICAL REPORTS.
1. These reports will present a concise and factual discussion
of technical findings and accomplishments during the period. The
report should be of technical publication quality, including appropriate
subject matter reference.
2. Each Technical Report will include a report summary. This
summary, prominently identified, should normally not exceed a few
pages. The purpose of the projects must be specified, together with
a description of important equipment purchased or developed, if any,
and the conclusions reached by the contractor. The most important.
single feature of this summary is that it must be meaningful to readers
who are not specialists in the subject matter of the contract.
The requirement for careful preparation cannot be overemphasized
as this summary will often provide the basis for decision on the
continuity of the project. The contractor must recognize that his
u f tens`"~ i cz i`- ?"
achievements are quite often surveyed by Department--of
who function at a level that precludes a thorough review of detailed
reports.
Where appropriate, references should be made to more detailed
sections of the report i n order to guide those who may be prepared to
spend the additional time required to develop a more complete and
professional understanding of the accomplishments.
. The report summary should include the following information for
each major portion;of the work:
1. Technical problem.
2. General methodology (e.g., literature review, laboratory
experiment, survey, field study, etc.).
3. Technical results.
4. Implications for further research (if any)_
5. Special ccmments (if any),
