Subject: RV RELIABILITY
1. There seems to be some confusion as to what is expected from the
training program at the end of the current fiscal year. This memo integrates
the statement of work, the signed contract and the stated goals of the
three-year Grill Flame effort. In the three-year program the following
tasks are to be accomplished.
r
FY'81
(1)
Applications investigations
(2)
Initial research and application potential of
remote viewing.
?
FY'82
(1)
Continue applications research
(2)
Initiate intelligence program
(3)
Demonstrate feasibility and reliability potential
of the training program.
FY' 83
(1)
Assuming all goes well, begin work toward integrating
RV into DoD intelligence cycle.
2. The difficulty seems to be statement (3) in FY'82. Initially, a 60%
figure was used to indicate that the training program was successful and
that the DoD would continue to send people to participate in the training.
Upon reflection, the number (60%) seems to be too confining. For instance,
what if a 59% is achieved.
3. With this in mind I offer a less confining approach. At the end of
FY'82 a series of sites will be given to trainees and to a control group.

(2) Allow more time for training research
(3) Discontinue program.

4. The most ominus problem remaining is the development of a scheme to
evaluate data derived from remote viewing sessions. This task will receive
much effort during the remainder of FY'82. The SRI, in conjunction with
agreeable to both SRI, DIA and Army.
