MEMORANDUM: ORD
FROM: D/EPG
SUBJECT: Star Gate Review Contract
substantively equivalent.
2 May 95
As you know, ORD originally planned for the NRC to
perform this study. The NRC had confirmed informally that the
likelihood was high they would undertake the Star Gate review. All
parties previously involved in our discussions at the NRC and US
Army believed this to be the case. The NRC has now categorically
refused, however. The Chairman of the commission on Behavioral
Sciences, John Swets, states that his 1988 study completed for the
US Army is a definitive study which settles the issues relating to
paranormal remote viewing (as far as he is concerned).
At this point, we need to proceed immediately with an
alternative plan. I strongly recommend that ORD send a request for
proposal to and contract directly with the American Institutes for
Research (AIR). The current president, David A. Goslin,
previously served for seven years at NRC as executive chairman of
the Commission on Behavioral Sciences, and was directly involved
in John Swets 1988 study. AIR believes it can hire every
individual already contacted by the NRC to serve on our proposed
panel (if we want that). Furthermore, AIR says it can complete
this study in half the time and at less cost. AIR is fully
cognizant of the issues I presented to the NRC as a result of
discussion with me, Dave Goslin, and AIR senior personnel on 2
May. The difference, of course, is that when this study is
complete it will say "AIR," and not "NRC." However, it should be
SGFOIA3
AIR is willing to include as a consultant anyone we
recommend (to serve on the panel or in some other ca I
contacted
or chair this panel, however.
Included with this memo is a CIP to get this thing
rolling, if you approve. The US Army will return the funds we
sent to them for NRC as soon as possible, but maybe not in time to
meet ORD's new sole-source action deadline of 15 May. Therefore I
have already prepared this package despite the fact money is still
at the Pentagon. SG1I
