Open AI Summary

This document is a memorandum requesting military liaison support for a sensitive program that is being transferred from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA has been tasked by Congress to conduct a retrospective evaluation of this program. To gain insight and guidance for their review, the CIA wants to contact the Army Research Institute (ARI) to learn about the success of a program evaluation conducted by the National Research Council (NRC) on a similar Army program. They also want to know if ARI continued with their training program and what results were obtained. The names of two individuals, Edgar M. Johnson and George Lawrence, who were involved in the ARI study, are mentioned as potential contacts for the CIA.

 MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Director for Military Affairs
 Office of Military Affairs, DO
 Director of Research and Development, DS&T
 SUBJECT:             Request For Military Liaison Support
 1.   We have been tasked by Congress to transfer to CIA a
 sensitive program currently underway at DIA.   In accordance
 with Congressional direction,  it also is necessary to conduct
 a retrospective evaluation of this program.   Five years ago
 the Army Research Institute  (ARI)  tasked the National
 Research Council  (NRC)  to conduct a program evaluation on one
 of its own programs.   This Army program involved "new age"
 training techniques directed at enhancing human performance.
 During review of the Army program, NRC considered some of the
 core issues we are likely to encounter-in evaluating the DIA
 program.
 2.  We would like to contact ARI in order to determine
 the success of the NRC program evaluation and to gain better
 insight as to how to conduct our own review.   We would also
 like to know'if ARI further pursued it's training program and
 what results might have been obtained.   In addition,  it might
 be useful to seek participation by appropriate personnel at
 ARI in the review of the DIA program.   The original requester
 of the 1985 ARI study was Edgar M. Johnson, Technical
 Director of, ARI.   George Lawrence served as the ARI liaison
 to the NRC Committee on Techniques for the Enhancement of
 Human Performance.   We would like to contact these two
 individuals directly.
