SUBJECT: STAR GATE Program (U)
1. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) In response to a Congressionally Directed
Action of January 1994 (enclosure 1), the Defense Intelligence
Agency has prepared a proposed multi-year research and
development program plan, subject to rigorous scientific and
technical oversight, to investigate the scientific validity of
the STAR GATE program. The focus of the plan is to ascertain
whether results of military intelligence value can be obtained in
a cost-effective manner using anomalous mental phenomena (AMP).
2. (S/NF) The Defense Intelligence Agency proposes to convene a
Scientific Evaluation Panel (SEP) composed of representatives
from each of the Service Scientific Advisory Boards. The purpose
of the SEP will be to review and validate the program's research
and development objectives and to make recommendations as to
which objectives should be pursued and the program scope required
to achieve those objectives. If the Scientific Evaluation Panel
determines that objectives in the plan are viable and executable,
the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Manager will
compete this initiative with others for limited available
resources remaining in.the program. The enclosed Terms of
Reference (TOR) (enclosure 2) is provided to familiarize the SEP
with proposed program objectives, scientific oversight
methodology, program management, and anticipated contract
deliverables. Listing of terminology and definitions is at
enclosure 3.
