STATEMENT OF CONSENT
DIA SUN STREAK PROJECT PARTICIPANT
SG1J
Date: a r 1. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) I, voluntarily
accept assignment to the D SP and fully
understand that:
a. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) The DIA and DoD General Counsels have
determined that the DSSP constitutes experimentation on human
subjects. As required by Procedure 13 of DoD Directive 5240.1-R,
approval for project activities has been granted by the Deputy
Secretary of Defense.
b. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) The aim of the DSSP is to develop highly
skilled personnel who are capable of conducting professional level
intelligence/counterintelligence operations through use of
psychoenergetic methodology. Development of DSSP personnel will be
accomplished with special training based on mission requirements.
c. (C/NOFORN) Assignments in DSSP are governed by the
sensitivity and degree of expertise required for the position. I
will be assigned in accordance with my capabilities and experience,
regardless of my rank or previous position. Due to the nature of
training involved, the duration of my participation is indefinite.
Records of my involvement will be available to project personnel,
but otherwise protected under project security measures.
d. (C/NOFORN) The primary consideration in any career
development or assignment action will be DSSP mission and
operational requirements. I understand that exemption,
interruption, or delay in normal career development patterns--such
as branch schooling and assignment opportunities--may prejudice
future promotion and assignment potential. I have been assured,
however, that every effort will be made to preclude the adverse
effects listed above on my career.
2. (U) PSYCHOENERGETICS (PE) include various processes by which
individuals psychically interact with objects, locations, and
organisms.
a. (U) I understand that while there is no demonstrated risk
of permanent or temporary injury (including physical, psychological
and/or damage to participants' reputation) to project personnel
beyond risks to which they would ordinarily be exposed in their
daily lives, the potential. for injury during some training cannot be
conclusively ruled out. CLASSIFIED BY: DIA, DT

operational and training interviews in which I am involved as an
integral part of the DSSP mission. I understand that these
recordings are subject to being monitored and/or transcribed by
third parties not otherwise involved in operations or training. I
waive any claim or right of ownership to all tape recordings and
transcripts made in conjunction with DSSP, with the understanding
that these tape recordings and transcripts are property of the

me. I further understand that my participation in DSSP is voluntary
and that at my request I may at any time be reassigned without fear
