Since our last meeting about mid-June, a number of things have
happened relating to ORD's Star Gate technical review:
? ORD held the kickoff meeting of the blue ribbon panel with the
American Institutes for Research (AIR) and its commissioned reviewers
(Dr. Jessica Utts, Dr. Ray Hyman, and consultant Dr. Lincoln Moses) on
25 July at AIR's facility in Palo Alto.
? ORD has now completed the current customer-base interviews according
to a uniform survey. The results of these, as they bear on the product
utility, are now in draft. The customers interviewed included the Joint
Interagency Task Force (JIATF)-East at Key West, FL, JIATF-West at
Alameda, CA, US Army Counterintelligence at Ft. Meade, SG1A
? AIR has completed its personal interviews of the DIA remote viewers
and the former DIA program manager. e? were= s~me?r _ini PrP~r; ng
