STATEMENT OF WORK: NOVEL INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION TECHNIQUES (PSYCHOENERGETICS-
THREAT TO US AND POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS)
1. General
The objective of this effort is to investigate in detail certain
psychoenergetic phenomena that have potential military applications.
Emphasis will be on evaluating application potential and limitations of
such phenomena, and to provide such knowledge as gained under this,
contract to appropriate DoD agencies who will evaluate the significance
of foreign work, particularly as it may pose a threat to the US.
Major emphasis will be on evaluating remote viewing phenomena and
in particular, targeting aspects, via coordinate or other methods.
Related to this are training methods, methods of enhancing reliability
c^d repeatability of the phenomena.
2.0 Specific Tasks (FY 81)
2.1 Develop audio/semantic analysis techniques to separate correct
4. from incorrect data, available from taped viewer descriptions of remote
viewing sites and to provide selective editing under operational conditions.
2.2 Determine what is required for target acquistion (names, maps,
~. coordinates, pictures, arbitrary labelings, simply the word "target",
etc.)
2.3 Evaluate threat potential of foreign remote viewing - type
investigations:
2.3.1 Simulate experimental results for which there is data to
assess validity of the foreign research.
2.3.2 Assess military applications potential of the foreign research
(or claims), particularly where a threat to US security is possible.
2.3.3 Assess feasibility of the most significant applications and
evaluate limitations.

2.4 The following task will be undertaken to explore the applications
potential of remote viewing. It will specifically undertake the task of
developing and evaluating a training program designed to increase the
reliability of remote viewing and seek to gain better data on operational
targets.
2.4.1 Evaluate the use of remote viewing to locate target objects or
people.
2.4.2 Evaluate the use of remote viewing for event detection and to
locate events.
2.4.3' Evaluate the use of remote viewing to detect the presence or
absence of targets.
2.4.4 Evaluate the potential of various camouflage, concealment and
deception as countermeasures to remote viewing.
2.4.5 Investigate the effects of the following variables on the remote
viewing phenomena. (a) accuracy, (b) degree of resolution, (c) affect the
sensory inputs (feel, smell, touch, etc). c'
.2.4.6 Determine potential of remote viewing to assess other types of
information, such as specific S&T data, or function/purpose of facilities or
activities.
2.5 It is anticipated that during the contract period there will bP
quick reaction tasks approved by the Grill Flame committee, passed thro(gh
the COTR and levied on the contractor. These will be of high priority are
will require prompt attention.

3. Security Requirements: It is expected that a maximum of six
SI/SAO billets will be required to properly'support the program. If and
when SRI International commences work on operational situations, it is
required that all personnel connected with operational matters possess the
necessary clearances.
4. Deliverables: The contractor shall provide the following:
4.1 Quarterly Reports to highlight accomplishments and resources
expenditures (by specific tasks the amount of funding, equipment used,
Professional/Support man-hours). Detail progress on each sub-task
designated for examination during the quarter will be completed by the
contractor.
4.2 Draft Final Report using the same format as'the Quarterly Reports
but covering the entire contract period.
4.3 A Final Report based on the Draft Final Report and the
comments made by the COTR.
4.4 Program progress briefing shall be of an informal nature
and shall be held at the end of each quarter. The contractor shall
furnish copies of informal charts, viewgraphs and other aids as may
be needed. The informal briefings shall consist of a contractor
presentation and informal discussion among contractor, funding
agencies and other government personnel as appropriate.
4.5 Quick reaction reports as required by the COTR. They
will be of limited scope and deal with subjects of especially high
interest and/or critical timeliness.

REPORTS
1. These reports will present a concise and factual discussion
of findings and accomplishments during the period and must include
appropriate references.
2. Each report will include a report summary. This summary,
prominently identified, should normally not exceed a few pages. The
purpose of the projects must be specified, together with a description
of important equipment purchased or developed, if any, and the
conclusions reached by-the contractor. The most important single
feature of this summary is that it must be meaningful to readers who
are not specialists in the subject matter of the contract.
The requirement for careful preparation cannot be overemphasized
as this summary will often provide the basis for decision on the
continuity of the project. The contractor must recognize that his
achievements are quite often surveyed by Department of Defense staff
who function at a level that precludes a thorough review of detailed
reports.
When appropriate, references should be made to more detailed
zcctions of the report in order to guide those who may be prepared to
spend the additional time required to develop a more complete and
professional understanding of the accomplishments.
The report summary should include the following information for
each major portion of the work.
1. Problems.
2. General methodology (e.g., literature view, laboratory
experiment, survey, field study, etc.).
3. Results
4. Implications for further research (if any).
5. Special comments (if any).

JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT WITH
SRI INTERNATIONAL
1. (C) Sole source procurement must be initiated for the award of the
contract to SRI International of Menlo Park, CA, for FY 1981.
2. (S) In order to fulfill the objective of this Statement of Work,
the contractor is required to have a high degree of technical competence in
the analysis and evaluation of advanced threat techniques. There is
no doubt that SRI has the background and expertise desire for the
specific advanced threat of interest. SRI is a recognized leader in
this particular field of analysis and evaluation, and has performed
similar work for other US Government agencies over the past few years.
Their previous work, under Contract DNA 001-78-C-0274. will form a
highly meaningful data base which will greatly enhance the value and
effectiveness of this contractual effort.
3. (C) The effort involved for a new contractor to research the same
level of capability and expertise that SRI currently possesses for this
area of analysis and evaluation would be too time consuming and uneconomical
to acquire and develop. To acquaint a new contractor in this area of expertise
would require several years simply to achieve the present level of expertise
and competence possessed by SRI.
4. (C) The performance of SRI on similar government contracts since
1974 is judged as satisfactory, justifying them as a sole source. The
SRI researchers implemented numerous innovations to maximize output of
these prior year contracts, and were able to utilize additional resources
at SRI without added cost to the Government.
5. (C) The capabilities and characteristics delineated above,
especially the SRI-funded development of sources and data base, ensure
that SRI International alone has the qualifications to satisfy the
requirements set forth in the Statement of Work, expecially within the
compelling time frame of this contract.
