 SUBJECT:      STAR GATE Program (U)
 1. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)  In response to a Congressionally Directed
 Action of January 1994  (enclosure 1), the Defense Intelligence
 Agency has prepared a proposed multi-year research and
 development program plan, subject to rigorous scientific and
 technical oversight, to investigate the scientific validity of
 the STAR GATE program.   The focus of the plan is to ascertain
 whether results of military intelligence value can be obtained in
 a cost-effective manner using anomalous mental phenomena (AMP).
 2.   (S/NF) The Defense Intelligence Agency proposes to convene a
 Scientific Evaluation Panel  (SEP)  composed of representatives
 from each of the Service Scientific Advisory Boards.  The purpose
 of the SEP will be to review and validate the program's research
 and development objectives and to make recommendations as to
 which objectives should be pursued and the program scope required
 to achieve those objectives.   If the Scientific Evaluation Panel
 determines that objectives in the plan are viable and executable,
 the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Manager will
 compete this initiative with others for limited available
 resources remaining in the program.  The enclosed Terms of
 Reference (TOR)  (enclosure 2) is provided to familiarize the SEP
 with proposed program objectives, scientific oversight
 methodology, program management, and anticipated contract
 deliverables.  Listing of terminology and definitions is at
 enclosure 3.
 3.   (U)  It is requested that this office be provided with the
 name of your nominee who could serve as an impartial member of
 the Scientific Evaluation Panel.  The Panel will convene
 30 June - 1 July 1994 in room B3-122 at the Defense Intelligence
 Analysis Center (DIAC), Bolling AFB.
