Open AI Summary
Summary: This document is a summary of a Stargate meeting that took place on January 24, 1995. The attendees included the Comptroller, D/OCA, and the DDI, while the DDO was absent. The main decision made during the meeting was to proceed with the Stargate program as outlined in a previous memo, with the modification of initiating a declassification effort. The Director of CSI was to be contacted to start the declassification process for the program, or at least parts of it. It was agreed that the blue ribbon panel would provide input on the final decision regarding the program and its personnel. The recommendation was made to provide administrative support from the CIA for the program, so only the three operations personnel would be considered for a potential move to the CIA. The document also mentions plans to contact the DIA for briefings on their activity and operations, as well as contacting the blue ribbon panel candidate chair. The author of the document would reach out to the DIA and arrange a meeting once a plan is outlined.

SUBJECT: Stargate meeting - ExDir Decisions
FROM:
DATE:
Met this morning withi Comptroller, D/OCA, and the DDI. DDO was invited but
did not make it. Basic guidance was to proceed per my memo, with one modification. We are to
get in touch with the Director of CSI and ask him to initiate a declassification effort to get the
program or at least parts of it declassified. The entire group was willing to let the blue ribbon
panel be the prime input to our eventual decision regarding the disposition of the program and
the people. They also agreed with our recommendation to provide the program manager and all
admin support from here, so that only the three operations people would be candidates for
eventual move to cia with the program.
My view is that we now have the authority to get in touch with DIA to get full briefings on the
activity, including their contractors and their operations details. Per our earlier discussion,
please lay out a plan for contacting DIA and for contacting the blue ribbon panel candidate chair
via the NRC group that did the study for the Army, and we will coord with OMA to be sure our
contact is in the right channels.
I will make contact with DIA and invite them to meet with you/us, as soon as I have your plan
in outline form.
