Approved For Release 2001/04/0 8R002000240044-7 t.f-- ORLON/NOFORN DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY US ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY COMMAND FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, MARYLAND 20755 SUBJECT: Summary of Visit to SRI International (13-16 June 1979) (U) 1. (S) Purpose: This MFR highlights significant items covered during my visit to SRI. The primary reason for the visit was to review the progress being made in the training of selected INSCOM personnel in Remote Viewing (RV) techniques and to establish para- meters for the second phase of the training program. 2. (S) At the time of this visit, three INSCOM members had already completed the initial phase of the training program which lasts for one week. A fourth member was undergoing training while I was there. Final evaluation/judging of the results of the first three individuals has not been done and, because of the backlog of other requirements, it does not appear that the reports will be ready in the near future. Hopefully, the reports will be available for review during our scheduled visit in August (Note: COL Hamel and MAJ Watt will visit SRI the week of 6 Aug 79.) 3. (S) A cautious preliminary assessment of the work done so far would probably state that the results were above average, with one individual producing outstanding data. However, SRI personnel do not want to make any binding decisions until all the data has been evaluated. Discussions with INSCOM personnel who have attended the training previously revealed that the week was worthwhile and that the training sessions have helped them grasp more fully the RV techniques and to better understand this area of psychic behavior. 4. (S) Topics covered during general discussion periods throughout the visit that are important are as listed: a. (S) Security situation involving INSCOM personnel needs to be "ironed out".
