I INTRODUCTION (U)
(S/CL-3/NOFORN) In response to correspondence from Army INSCOM dated
25 April 1983, and to discussions with INSCOM personnel on 7 and 8 September
1983, SRI International submits this proposal to initiate activity with
regard to Special Orientation Technique (SV-SVI) Remote Viewing (RV)
training.
(S/CL-1/NOFORN) To accomplish the proposed program, SRI will provide
the facilities, materials, SRI staffing, and consultants to perform the
tasking outlined in the INSCOM Statement of Work dated 25 April 1983.
Details of the effort are specified in the following section.

II STATEMENT OF WORK (U)
1.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The objective of this effort is to investigate
a particular aspect of the psychoenergetic phenomena known as remote viewing
that has a potential military intelligence application. Coordinate Remote
Viewing (CRV) is a staged technique that utilizes coordinates to facilitate
acquisition of a remote viewing target.
1.2 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The major goal is to determine whether CRV
technology can be successfully transferred to INSCOM personnel with a
corresponding increase in the reliability of a remote viewer.
2.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Train an army person in CRV Stages V and VI
as outlined in SRI memorandum on the subject dated 27 May 1983-
2.1.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Initiate training at the highest skill
level (CRV stage) of the trainee.
2.1.2 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Training for each CRV stage will normally
be divided into two or three training blocks of two weeks duration each,
with two to four-week breaks between sessions. The training dates will be
mutually agreed to by SRI and INSCOM.
2.1.3 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) After successful completion of CRV Stage
V, the trainee will be scheduled to begin CRV Stage VI.
(U) Military security requirements in the performance of this contract
shall be maintained in accordance with the "CENTER LANE SECURITY PROCEDURES
GUIDE," dated 1 March 1983 (S/CL-1/NOFORN/ORCON). The highest classifica-
tion involved in the performance of this contract is SECRET/CL-4/NO FOREIGN
DISSEMINATION/ORIGINATOR CONTROLLED.
4. (U) DELIVERABLES
(U) The contractor will provide the following.
4.1 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) State-of-the-art CRV training.

SECRET/CENTER LANE-3/NOFORN
4.2 (U) A progress report (2 copies)--provide a written evaluation
of the trainee's progress (within 10 days after the completion of each
training block).
4.3 (U) A final report.
4.3.1 (U) A final report in three copies will be furnished
within 30 days after completion of each CRV stage.
4.3.2 (U) Report will include a summary of the training
presented; an evaluation of the trainee's ability to understand the training;
and a summary of the trainee's accomplishments during the training period.
4.3.3 (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Report should also include an evaluation
of the trainee's future remote viewing capabilities, and a recommendation
concerning further training.
(S/CL-3/NOFORN) After the completion of each CRV training stage,
personnel involved in the training program will have reasonable access to
INSCOM personnel trained to assist in further evaluations of CRV.
6. (U) SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
(U) Requirements concerning the use of human subjects as outlined
in the INSCOM Statement of Work dated 2 August 1983 will be adhered to.
