MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director
Deputy Director for Science and Technology
Director of Congressional Affairs
SG1 ~ FROM:
Associate Deputy Director for Science and Technology
SG1~ 1. The session with Dick D'Amato this morning on the STARGATE
Program went better than expected. tip last night to
pre-stage the discussion on the peop e wit t e of
11 the review of the program was very successful. and
11 had briefed Dick in March and up ate im on a that
a occurre since then. Dick was complimentary of the professional
effort by CIA/ORD on this program. Dick believes the USG will get a
reasonable answer from this effort. I stated, as planned, that the
CIA would abide by the recommendations from the American Institute of
Research {AIR) study, to be completed by 30 September 1995.
2. Dick D'Amato, I believe, will put language in the SAC mark
that will reference the program following the recommendations of its
independent study.
3. I then turned the discussion to the DIA people (remote
viewers). I stated that we had considered what was best for the
people, and the CIA preferred that they stay at DIA until
30 September and the results of the future of the program is
determined. Dick was sorry to hear we did not have a better solution
for the people, but he did appreciate our sincerity on working this
issue. He plans to call Nora Slatkin and propose that these three
people be detailed to CIA by DIA to help do a foreign assessments
piece. A foreign assessment of the Russian program is an action from
the Congressional language that DIA apparently has not done. We
commented on the problem of raising expectations of the people and
possibly jerking around their lives more-than once. Dick is still
considering what should be done with the people.
4. Should the people be detailed to CIA from DIA for a foreign
assessment, the following topics need to be addressed:
a. A manger of the assessment project needs to be
identified, most likely in the DI. Objectiveness of the
assessment must be part of the report.
b. The people are detailed until 30 September 1995, not
transferred.

c. Will the people have an opportunity to look at vacancy
notices in CIA -- I think they should.
d. The people will know up front the outcome of the
30 September 1995 report will affect their future.
5. We were asked about DIA actions on STARGATE. We said we
were not the authoritative answerer for DIA. Dick asked directly if
DIA had done the foreign assessment on the Russian program. We
responded that we had not seen it. We also said CIA had planned to
work the foreign assessments piece after the AIR study was complete.
Dick stated that the DIA people were placed in meaningless jobs. We
said we did not know what the people were doing now.
6. It seems to me that language in the upcoming 5AC mark that
can be adjusted in the conference in September is clearly an
acceptable position for us. The detailing of people to CIA for an
assessment of the Russian program, I still believe, will cause an
additional problem for the individuals -- something we should keep in.
mind and try to avoid.
