ANSWER: Since FY 1980, DIA manpower devoted to STAR GATE
has remained constant. Manpower and dollars for the period FY
1990-95 are as follows:

In response to a January 1994 Congressionally Directed
Action (CDA), Defense Authorization Classified Annex Joint
Explanatory Statement, Enclosure 13, the Defense Intelligence
Agency has prepared a draft multi-year research and peer review
plan to focus on these issues. In that regard, the Defense
Intelligence Agency will convene a Scientific Advisory Group
consisting of chief scientists from the Services and from DDR&E
to validate the program's research and development objectives and
make recommendations as to which objectives should be pursued and
the program scope required to achieve those objectives. If the
Scientific Advisory Group determines objectives in the plan are
viable and executable, the General Defense Intelligence Program
Manage will compete this initiative with others for limited
available resources remaining in the program. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)

SG1H
The performance criteria used for Project STAR GATE are
governed by two recent Activity directives which focuses on the
personnel selection and training of newly assigned operational
personnel, and on protocols for in-house proficiency enhancements
and operational projects. Also, an evaluation form patterned
after the one used by DoD HUMINT operatives is currently being
utilized by Activity customers when providing feedback to
operational taskings. The contractor, at our direction, is
developing a certification program for operational personnel so
that proficiencies can be both maintained and further enhanced.
Program objectives in the draft multi-year research and peer
review plan include research objectives to further codify methods
for selecting and training operational personnel; target
identification; and refinement of protocols.
During FY93 Project STAR GATE contributed to the
intelligence functional areas of collection and production in the
following areas: (S)
-- Operations. Providing data to Joint Task Force-4,
and to DIA's J2 and the National Military Intelligence Center's
analytical elements. Areas covered included the location and
description of ships for drug interdiction purposes,
house training proficiency projects were also conducted to
enhance operational capabilities. For FY94 and in addition to
the foregoing, on-going joint activities program have been
established with JTF-4 and other DoD elements. Plans are
underway to develop working relationships with other Agencies.

and reported on the work done by the contractor in research which
provided data on significant experimental results that could be
considered of a break-through nature. Experiments were in the
areas of entropy which demonstrated a significant degree of
correlation between anomalous cognition (AC) and dynamic changes
in a target's entropy. The value added is that it should provide
an objective method for assessing the AC skills of operational
personnel. In the experiment on remote observation, it was
demonstrated that changes in the electrical properties of a
person's skin could be effected according to the intent of the
isolated operator. The value added is that anomalous mental

phenomena (AMP) could be used to remotely influence biological
systems. As a result of the experiment regarding alpha
desynchronization, it may be possible to train operational
personnel in a manner similar to biofeedback.

SG1 B
Without fiscal constraints, the Defense Intelligence Agency
would fund Project STAR GATE in FY95. The project would be
funded at $1.3 million per fiscal year, again without fiscal
restraints. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
