STATEMENT OF WORK
for
FY 1989
A. Maintain scientific credibility by providing access to all aspects of the research
to a Scientific Oversight Committee (SOC).*
Description: Provide statistical and basic research design protocols in ad-
vance of any formal experiments,
Deliverables: 1st Quarter FY 1989 (A report including the experimental
protocols for FY 89, and detailing the approvals and the re-
view process by the SOC.)
Description: Provide continuing access to on-going experiments to SOC
members.
Description: Provide final reports for inspection and critical review to the
SOC.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 1989; A final technical report including the
experimental results for FY 1989, and detailing the SOC's
review comments.
SGFOIA2 Cost:
* The time-lines for all tasks during FY 1989 are the same: Start on 1-Oct-1988 and end on
30-Sep-1989. The costing is computed on an objective-by-objective basis, and the contrac-
tor is is SRI International, except where noted differently.
Costing is shown for each objective. The total percent of project is also shown as (Opera-
tional/Research) percentages.

B. Applications of Remote Viewing Technology.
Task 1
Description: Target viewers against special sites supplied by and under con-
trol of the sponsor.
Deliverables: A report on each site that includes the analysis of the re-
sponses, a summary of the best estimate of the target site, and
the raw data as an appendix. The report must be completed
before another site can be targeted.

list, develop a quantitative analytical technique for remote
viewing analysis when the target material is generally un-
known.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 1989; A detailed description of the proce-
dure and a summary of its performance in Task 1.
SGFOIA2 Cost:
C. Determine a physiological indicator of psychoenergetic functioning.
Description: Determine the degree to which magnetic visual evoked poten-
tials can be observed under psychoenergetic conditions.
Subcontractor: Los Alamos National Laboratory
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 1989; A report detailing the techniques and
results of the experiment.

D. Provide a technical review of psychoenergetic research at SRI International.
Description: Using meta-analytical techniques, assess, where possible, the
experimental results of the research since 1973. This should
include the following:
a. An analysis of remote viewing and remote action.
b. Retrospective analysis of Pat Price data.
Deliverables: 4nd Quarter FY 1989; A report detailing the methods and
results of the meta-analysis and including:
a. The state-of-the-art of psychoenergetic research.
b. Confidence levels on the constituent parts of above.
c. What technology is available.
d. Short statement of what experiments are needed for pro-
gress.
e. Contributions by other research organizations.
f. Contributions of psychoenergetic research to more tradi-
tional research areas.
SGFOIA2 cost:
E. Screen large populations for high quality remote viewers.
Description: Using a multi-level screening procedure, identify high-quality
remote viewers and individuals with an ability to locate items
by psychoenergetic means.
Deliverables: 4nd Quarter FY 1989; A report detailing the methods and
results of the screening.

protocol, the method of approach, and results.
Description: For new viewers, determine best viewer-dependent collection
environment for remote viewing.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 1989; A report detailing the experimental
protocol, the method of approach, and results.
Description: Improve the analysis of RV data by determining the optimum
parameters for the set definitions.
Deliverables: 4th Quarter FY 1989; A report detailing the method of ap-
proach, and results.
Description: Determine the source of "mental noise" in binary
psychoenergetic tasks.
