 (S/ORCON)   To establish a program using psychoenergics for
 intelligence applications.   Specifically, utilizing that
 field,of psychoenergics referred to as REMOTE VIEWING.   The
 program encompasses the following:
 - Establishing a training program in REMOTE VIEWING
 utilizing selected INSCOM personnel.
 - Establishing procedures for intelligence collection
 techniques utilizing REMOTE VIEWING.
 - Establishing a mechanism for responding to intelligence
 collection-requirements  (tasking)  using REMOTE-.VIEWING.

 TARGET CORRELATION CHART  (TCC)*
 DESCRIPTION
 1                  Absolutely no target correlation.
 Drawings, narrative, and feedback
 reaction have minimal target
 correlation.
 Increased target correlation,
 identity of target could not be
 determined.
 4             Many target correlation factors
 readily recognizable. Target
 identity possibilities narrowed.
 5**
 RV data shows-unmistakable cor-
 relation to the target.   Target
 possibilities can now be typified.
 Little or no extraneous RV data
 present. Target identity can be
 readily matched.
 7             Correct naming of the target.

 *Target Correlation Chart  (TCC)  was established not to prove
 or disprove Remote Viewing  (RV), rather, it was designed to
 measure RV learning trends and to provide Project Management
 personnel a readily available management tool.
 **Current state-of-the-art indicates this level of expertise
 is the norm. for an experienced Remote Viewer.
