National Security Policy
Senate Committee on Appropriations
Subcommittee on Defense
Washington, D.C. 20510-6028
(U) This is a followup to our meeting and discussion on Friday, 7 June.
The target date to have our contract signed is 21 June. I want to assure
you that all of us have been diligent in seeking to expedite this important
task. Once we completed our statement of work in December 1990, we coordi-
nated closely with our DIA colleagues to ensure all legal, regulatory,
and other issues associated with such a complex and unique contract were
met on a timely basis. The bottom line is that the contract will be signed
this month and everything is on track, particularly since we are using
R&D funds. In fact, we had even obtained authorization for precontract
costs which has permitted us to undertake some work while the contract
details were being finalized.
(S/NF) Our report of Soviet and Chinese activities in parapsychology and
our long-range comprehensive plan are virtually complete and are targeted
for publication this month. The latter will discuss in detail the program
for a balance between basic and applied research and operational investiga-
tions. Furthermore, I have asked the unit to develop a plan for near-term
operational activities for the remainder of FY91.
(S/NF) In a related matter, knowing your interest in this subject, I wish
to draw your attention to the enclosed information of an important conference
being held in Heidelberg in August. The conference prospectus looks very
intriguing, and I have encouraged Dale to solicit wide participation in
this conference. I suspect your schedule in August will be very tight,
but should you believe this conference would be of value to you, please
let me know and we can assist you in arranging the conference details
for your attendance as we do our own.
(U) Additionally, I will be contacting to offer an update/status
briefing to the Intelligence Community Staff on Project STAR GATE. When
I nail down a date and give the briefing, I will give you a call and let
you know how things went.

(U) I want you to know that all of us enjoy working with you. I personally

super job in dealing with a very important, but complex and controversial,
subject.
