Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDR96-00,788 R001700180004-2 Classified Statement of Work: Psychoenergetics -- Threat to US and Potential Applications (FY84) 1.0 General (U) (S/NOFORN) During FY 83, remote viewing received the greatest attention and it was shown to be an excellent method for obtaining information on a distant site. It has excellent potential for gathering intelligence on sites that are denied to more conventional collection techniques. In FY84, experiments will confirm or deny its infusion into the US intelligence gathering apparatus. The emphasis for FY 84 will be on both improving its reliability and demonstrating its trainability. A major effort will also be expended on expanding its scope from using coordinates to target the remote viewer to a system where a variety of targeting methods can be used. In addition to the existing and developing training program, new methods and approaches to training will be examined. New methods of evaluating results from remote viewing will be sought. (S/NOFORN) The psychokinesis (PK) area will receive considerable attention in FY 84. The emphasis will be on those areas that may be adapted to countermeasures. Both preventive and detecting methods are to be examined.
