Section C Description/Specifications/Work Statement (Continued)
C2. (S/NF) In addition to the above, to assist the intelligence ccnmunity in
evaluating foreign psychoenergetics capability, the contractor will attempt to
duplicate significant foreign research. This will permit the intelligence
community to better judge the foreign state-of-the-art and to produce valid
threat assessment of this foreign work. The phenomenon (remote viewing)
currently being investigated by the contractor has great potential far
intelligence collection; consequently, the contractor must continually be
aware of the level and kinds of related foreign research to insure that
appropriate countermeasures research may be conducted.
C3. (U) 'Ihe contractor shall bear primary responsibility for the conduct of
the research and shall exercise judgment towards attaining the stated research
objectives within the limits of this contract's terms and conditions. Written
approval of the Contracting Officer shall be obtained prior to change of the
methodology, stated objectives of the research effort, or the phenomenon or
phencanena under study.
C4. (C/NF) The Principal Investigator for the proposed contract is Edwin C.
May, Ph.D., and the estimated amount of time this individual plans to devote
to the first twelve (12) months of the contract is 1,848 hours. This
individual shall be continuously responsible for the conduct of the research
project and closely involved with the research efforts. The contractor shall
obtain the Contracting Officer's approval to change the Principal
Investigator. The contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer if the
Principal Investigator will, or plans to, devote substantially less effort to
the work than estimated in the contractor's proposal.

SECTION F DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE
F1. (C/NE) Certain operations research activities (not to exceed 25 percent

General work priorities have been established by and within the three phase-
staging of the overall research effort. Changes in priorities and work
scheduling may be made by the Principal Investigator with the concurrence of
the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR). If these changes
affect, or are affected by, operations research the COTR will assure that they

of work. The reports shall present a narrative summary of the work underway
and shall be prepared to address the topics outlined below. Any of the topics
below may be covered noting such comments as "none," "not applicable," or "no
significant change" when appropriate. (The reports shall not be used to
document technical progress or contain technical charts, graphs, or formulas.
Such data belong in technical reports and Quick Response Working Papers.)

Action Required by the Government Generally, this topic will include
assistance required in resolving "Problems Encountered."
Future Plans A brief statement of any significant change which is
planned in the course of the work or any new item considered to be of interest
to management shall be included under this topic.
c}. (U) Annual Technical Reports
These reports will present a concise and factual discussion of
technical publication quality, including appropriate subject matter reference.
Each Technical 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 over-emphasized as
this summary will provide the basis for decisions on the continuity of a
project. The contractor must recognize that his achievements are quite often
surveyed by Government staff who function at a level that precludes a thorough
review of detailed reports. Where appropriate, references should be made to
more detailed sections 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 acca~nplishments. The report summary should
include the following information, for each major portion of the work:
(1) Technical problem.
(2) General methodology (e.g., literature review,
laboratory, equipment, survey, field study, etc.)
(3) Technical results.
(4) Special comments (if any).
(5) Statistical analyses,~as appropriate.
e. (U) Final Reports
A brief summary of all work done over the course of the contract,
referring to the Annual Technical Reports, shall be submitted. A final report
shall also be submitted on each task. The task report should describe what was
performed, what was accomplished, total cost, and recommendations/conclusions.
f. (U) All reports shall contain a conspicuous disclaimer statement on
the cover of the report similar to the following:
