2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) The purpose of the briefing was to provide
information to the IC Staff HUMINT committee on the DoD's use of
psychoenergetics for intelligence purposes, demonstrate the
potential value of remote viewing as an intelligence collection
tool, and solicit the Committee's support in the DIA/GDIP bid to
establish the DoD psychoenergetic program in the NFIP. Dr. Jack
Vorona, Assistant Deputy Director for Science and Technical
Intelligence, DIA, structured the briefing and presented the
portions on history and future of the program; Dr. Harold
Putoff, SRI-International, presented an overview of
psychoenergetic research conducte& for the U.S. Government; LTC
Buzby reviewed past operational-accomplishments; and Mr. Hurwitz
summarized past GRILL FLAME/CENTER LANE issues and provided
rationale for the need and continuation of a DoD psychoenergetic
program.
3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Since the thrust of the briefing was to
illustrate how psychoenergetics could support the Intelligence
Community, LTC Buzby reviewed eight projects that showed how
remote viewing provided useful intelligence information and
complemented other intelligence disciplines. Additionally he
used three examples that showed state-of-the-art remote viewing
technology to illustrate the fact that remote viewing could be
learned.
4. (S/C.L-2/NOFORN) Upon completion of the briefing,
stated that it had been an interesting briefing, reviewed
._or the benefit of the Committee members the purpose of the
briefing and then solicited continents from Committee members.
The CIA representative stated that his agency supported
continued activity in the area, and the State Department
representative stated he would request a separate briefing on
the subject because of the technique's potential for support to
counter-terrorist operations.

5. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) My assessment of the briefing and its
reception is that it was informative and well received. Time
constraints precluded a detailed explanation of the technology
and collection procedures, but briefers presented sufficient
information to show that the phenomenon exists, that there is a
need for additional research and validation, and that
psychoenergetics can be used as an intelligence collection tool.
