Between
US Army Resea institute (ARZ)
and
Central intelligenoe Agency (CIA)
office of Research and Development (ORD)
Subject: Support in Establishing Blue Ribbon Panel at National
Research Council (NRC) to Evaluate Paranormal Studies Program
1. ~ur_moge
This document defines the working relationship and
rea o sibilities between the US Army Research institute (ARI),
and the Central intelligence agency (CIA), Office of
Researo and Development (ORD) for support in establishing a slue
Ribbon Panel at the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate
various government-sponsored studies in paranormal phenomena.
2. ga?kIYZ, eurid
1, in F'Y 1995, CongrQps directed that a government- sponsored
program be transferred from another government Agency to CIA by
July 1, 1995. Congress also directed a retrospective review of
past program activities. This review requires an inventory and
analysis of the relevant files at the various government agencies
where this program has been conducted in the past. CIA has already
taken steps to assemble a colleotion of unclassified documents
representative of the program,
The CIA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) believes
that the National Research Council (NRC) is the single beat
organization to perform the mandated review. This is because of
its Congressional charter to address questions of Congressional
interest, and its ready access to a variety of world-class experts
having expertise it the area in question. Since ARI has managed
past and current efforts at the NRC to evaluate programs relating
to behavioral science, ARI is the natural executive Agency to
manage NRC in it's performance of this review. In addition, the
urgency of Congress' request makes it impossible for CIA to
establish an independent relationship with NRC and still moat the
Congressional deadlines.
