 SG1J    To:Mr.               Chief, DT-S
 As per your request, I have compiled my thoughts on the potential
 opportunities which are/can be open to this office and its personnel.
 Following is a composite of these thoughts in a. manner which is,
 hopefully, organized enough to be of use.
 1   (S/NF)   RESEARCH:  The decision as to which outside contracts will be
 gained for the project's progression depends on many other factors than
 our abilities, desires, proposals.  However:
 a.   Participation:   Once these contracts are granted, I feel it is
 imperative that the work proposals for the projects include the
 requirement that the people of this office take as great a part as
 possible.  Case in point:  SRI's study of the effects of ELF on Remote
 Viewers did not in any way address the effects of ELF IN THE FT. MEADE
 AREA ON THE CENTER LANE VIEWERS.  As a result, an amount of pure
 information was possibly gained, but a simple addition in the work
 statement would have made the information directly pertinent to the needs
 of our office.
 b.    Self direction:  Thereare.many projects which weare capable of
 doing on our own within the office, and which do not need to be farmed
 out.   In fact, the performance of such projects would teach our viewing
 personnel an understanding of the scientific process, from project
 formulation thf-ough evaluation and proper documentation.  This
 understanding is presently all but completely lacking (see item 4., below)
 It is my firm belief that, if the viewers were to gain such an
 understanding, they would develop a self-discipline which would alleviate
 many problems in the future.  For these projects, a viewer should
 (voluntarily or assigned) be given BOTH the responsibility and authority
 over the project from start to finish.  We have had many projects
 voluntarily started by viewers in the past where the viewer was .allowed
 the responsibility of doing the bookwork, research, etc., but then was not
 allowed to formulate and run the project.  Valuable experience was lost,
 but more than that, the spark of enthusiasm:which made the viewer
 volunteer-in the first place was lost and never regained.
 c.    Bibliography and Library::  We have information collected
 individually and officially in great abundance.   The collation of
 information already in our possession and the accumulation of other
 information is of paramount importance to this effort, and'should be the
 responsibility of ever member of this office.

 d.      ports and creative work:   In the past, when someone in the
 office wrote a paper on their perceptions of this phenomenon, or an some
 related aspect in which they had taken particular interest, the paper was
 turned in, filed away, and forgotten.   An active effort should be made to
 see that any original article or paper generated within this office be
 sanitized and disseminated under that person's name into the public
 literature.   This would both encourage the members of our office to take
 initiatives, and would reward them for doing so.
 2.   (S/NF)   POSSIBLE AREAS FOR FUTURE ADVANCEMENT:
 a. Learning what we are already supposed to know:   Our office has a
 background knowledge o  many working methods, only three of which are in
 normal use.   Only one person here is familiar with all of them, and only
 two have ever worked the majority of them.   I would suggest that everyone
 become experienced in each of the methods which have been identified by
 our office (approximately 18 different methods), and learn to use them as
 "tools", by knowing which method works best (for them) for individual
 targets, personal moods, etc.
 b.   Develop training for and perform training on those things we are
 supposed to have learned in the past:  We have, for years, complained
 about monitor errors, the monitor injecting his/her own analysis upon the
 viewer, of poor tasking which leads the viewer to a conclusion, or which
 must be hidden from the viewer in order to prevent ruining a session.   In
 the process, we have informally learned what tasking should NOT be like,
 and what a monitor should NOT do.   However, no formal attempt has ever
 been made within this office to constructively decide how tasking SHOULD
 be written, and what the proper protocol for a monitor SHOULD be.  I think
 that this is absolutely one of the most necessary steps we must take
 before going any further.  We are in dire need of defining our needs in
 these areas, then educating and training both the taskers and the
 monitors.
 c.   Other areas (some of which would automatically be covered by
 para. a, above):  Parapsychological operations can be broken into two
 general categories, passive and active.   We have historically completely
 avoided the active and stuck to only three passive methodologies (CRV,
 ERV, WRV)'.  These self-imposed limits have left us sitting around a lot of
 times, doing nothing (often facetiously called "grounding" or
 "preparing"), when we could have been quite productively engaged in
 professional growth.   Those limits should be removed.

 understood to most professional DT personnel, is something in which DT-S
 personnel have never been fully trained, and which they do not completely
 understand:  Above all, and first of all, I feel that the personnel in
 this office should be taught, in formal training, what is meant by the
 phrase "proper- scientific procedures".  We need to have delineated what
 will be expected of us, item by item, in order to turn out a product which
 will withstand the closest scientific scrutiny.   We may not like to admit
 it, but the honest fact is that we presently do not know.   This is why we
 have gotten into trouble in the past, and the problem will continue unless
 we are trained in this area.   Such training should be done immediately,
 before attempting anything else.
