SG1I FROM:
SUBJECT:
20 April 1995
Ed May of SAIC called this morning and volunteered to
send me unsolicited information he had obtained from a
"remote viewer" named "Joe" relating to the Oklahoma City
Bombing. I said that we did not have a means at ORD for
tasking or disseminating this type of information at CIA and
therefore there was no one I could give it to. He asked me
for a point of contact in law enforcement who might want the
information. I said I did not know a point of contact for
anyone at the FBI. I recommended that he send it to his
SG1J former COTR, at DIA. He said they didn't get
along. I said send it anyway. He asked me if I would
personally be interested in seeing it. I said go ahead and
fax it.
Later, I discussed the information I received with
SG1I II He decided to call CTC to inquire about the
appropriate recipient for this information, regardless of the
fact that we were unable to evaluate it's usefulness. CTC
recommended that the FBI was the proper recipient and later
provided a point of contact there.
I called Ed may at about 5:30 PM and speaking to him
personally gave him the name of at

and said he would call. I also told him to send it to
Approved For Releas~3/ 6 : CIA-RDP96-00791 R0001 00030036-6
(CTC provided this FBI number). I restated that FBI was
the place to send the info. He asked if this would be a
"cold call" because he didn't want to sound like a "lunatic."
I said it was cold as far as I knew and there was nothing I
could do about it without sounding like a kook too. He said
he would call tomorrow. I said the FBI was probably working
this thing 24 hours a day--call now. He agreed reluctantly
at DIA and he said he would.

MEMO FOR: CTC
FROM: Director Research and Development
SUBJECT: Star Gate Program Issues
CIA was recently directed by Congress to review and
transfer (from another government Agency) a program which
purports to exploit paranormal abilities. One aspect of this
program is to use trained personnel to perform "remote
viewing" in the collection of intelligence against foreign
targets. These viewers function somewhat like "psychics" in
that they typically allow their thoughts to transcend time
and space in order to perform collections against various
targets anywhere in the world. Their "product" usually
consists of sketches and supplemental bits of information
about the target.
As a consequence of our involvement in the program
review, the contractor recently sent remote viewer
information to ORD. The information relates to the Oklahoma
City Federal Center bombing. We attach no credibility to
this information, and currently have no way to evaluate it.
We have asked Dr. Ed May of SAIC to forward this information
to you directly. Please direct any questions regarding how
the information was acquired to Dr. May. He has been the
primary contract investigator in this area, and we have not
completed our evaluation of his past efforts. A copy of the
remote viewer information is attached.
