1. We have been tasked by Congress to transfer to CIA a sensitive program currently
underway at DIA. In accordance with Congressional direction, it also is necessary to conduct a
retrospective evaluation of this program. Five years ago the Army Research Institute (ARI)
tasked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a program evaluation on one of its own
programs. This Army program involved "new age" training techniques directed at enhancing
human performance. During review of the Army program, NRC considered some of the core issues
we are likely to encounter in evaluating the DIA program.
2. We would like to contact ARI in order to determine the success of the NRC program
evaluation and to gain better insight as to how to conduct our own review. We would also like to
know if ARI further pursued its training program and what results might have been obtained. In
addition, it might be useful to seek participation by appropriate personnel at ARI in the review of
the DIA program. The original requester of ' the 1985 ARI study was Edgar M. Johnson, Technical
Director of ARI. George Lawrence served as the ARI liaison to the NRC Committee on Techniques
for the Enhancement of Human Performance. We would like to contact these two individuals
directly.
