 MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
 SUBJECT:  Request for renewal of human use approval - ACTION MEMORANDUM (U)
 (S/NF/SS-2) This request is in response to your desire for annual review
 of the DIA psychoenergetics activity conducted under SUN STREAK, a DoD-
 approved special access program.
 (S/NF/SS-2) GDIP billets for SUN STREAK were authorized in FY 85 for DIA.
 Currently, there are ten (10) personnel assigned to this project.  Effort
 during FY 85 and FY 86 was primarily devoted to personnel selection and
 training, although a few operational issues were also investigated.
 (S/NF/SS-2) During FY 87, Project SUN STREAK personnel pursued the practical
 applications of applied psychoenergetics against selected operational tasks
 and improved skills through proven training techniques.
 (S/NF/SS-2) During FY 88, proven training techniques were continued and a
 wider range of operational tasks were pursued.
 (S/NF/SS-2) For FY 89, it is anticipated that seven (7) SUN STREAK personnel
 will receive advanced training for application to complex operational tasks.
 An increase in operational project activity is also expected as experienced
 staff members become more proficient.
 (S/NF/SS-2) A panel of senior executives from DIA, CIA, AIA, AF/IN, DNI and
 C31 oversee and advise the SUN STREAK project in matters relating to
 operational activities.  Project activity is monitored and reviewed by an
 executive-level panel which includes ASDC3I and DR/DIA.
 (S/NF/SS-2) Request you reapprove use of DoD personnel for psychoenergetics
 activity in the SUN STREAK program.  There will be no changes in program
 procedures, and all activity will continue to be conducted in strict
 compliance with the provisions of Procedure 13, DoD directive 5240.1-R.
