 6.0           (U) Specific Tasks
 6.1. (U) Basic Research
 As it appears in SOW (U)
 -       6.1.1.  (S/NF)  Reassess previous research and conduct new
 research to identify parameters and procedures that are responsible for
 remote viewing occurrence and enhancing performance (see memo dated June 2,
 1988).
 (S/NF) Using meta-analytical techniques, assess, where
 possible, the experimental results of the research since 1973.  This should
 include the following topics:
 1.    Selection and screening
 2.    Targeting, coordinate, beacon, abstract, other
 3.    Evaluation and analysis
 4.    Training
 5.    Role of feedback
 6.    Effect of distance
 7.    Effect of size of target
 $.    Physiological correlates
 9.    Psychological correlates
 " (U)  See ESU87-135   (October 9,  1987)  and Statement of Work for Phenomenological
 Research and Development (PR dated April 8, 1988).

 12.   Search/tracking
 13.   Precognitive RV
 14.   Analytics
 15.   Conducting an RV experiment
 16.   Countermeasures
 (S/NF) The following points should be covered for each topic:
 a.    Historical perspective (before 1973), if appropriate
 b.    Summation of work at SRI since 1973
 c.    A look at work in other labs (recent)
 d.    Statement of the state of the art
 f.    Suggested experiments to solve the problem, if
 appropriate.  Should begin with what is not known
 about the subject.
 (S/NF) Deliverables:    January 2, 1988.  Report on each
 topic listed above.
 As it appears in SOW (U)
 ('7   6.1.2.    (S/NF) Identify optimum statistical evaluation methods
 and procedures and prepare appropriate handbooks.

 As it appears in SOW (U)
 6.1.3.  (S/NF) Determine if select physiological parameters
 can be useful for identifying or predicting occurrence of psychoenergetic
 phenomena.
 Expansion (U)
 (S/NF) Description:  Determine the degree to which magnetic
 visual evoked potentials can be observed under psychoenergetic conditions.
 (S/NF) Subcontractor:  SRI/Los Alamos National laboratory.
 (S/NF} Deliverables:  4th quarter FY 1989, a report detailing
 the techniques and results of the experiment.
 (S/NF) If the FY 1988 task at Los Alamos is not successful,
 this are"will not be pursued in FY 1989.  A substitute task will be
 developed.
 As it appears in SOW (U)
 ,~   6.1.4.  (S/NF) Perform various investigations that assist in
 identifying fundamental aspects of the phenomena.

 (S/NF) This task will be included only if Task 6.1.3. is
 deleted.  A separate memo will be prepared at that time to specify what is
 required.
 6.2. (S/NF) Applications research
 As it appears in SOW (U)
 6.2.1.  (S/NF) Develop quantification and eva~ luation
 techn~i uses for a variety of operational types of targets.

 Expansion (U)
 (S/NF) Description:  SRI and the sponsor will work closely to
 develop a target element list and a quantitative analytical technique for
 RV analysis where the target material is generally unknown.
 (S/NF) Deliverables:  End of second quarter, FY 1989, the
 methodology will be completed and ready for publication.
 As it appears in SOW (U)
 6.2.2.  (S/NF) Conduct multi series remote viewing projects
 for special operational targets to determine levels of accuracy as a
 function of operational conditions such as distance, shielding, timing,
 other factors.  Also review and analyze all operational related projects to
 identify possible operational limits or qualifiers.
 Expansion (U)
 (S/NF) Description:  Target viewers against special sites
 supplied by and under control of the sponsor.
 (S/NF) Deliverables:  A report on each site that includes the
 analysis of the responses, a summary of the best estimate of the target
 site, and the raw data as an appendix.  Each report must be completed
 before another site can be targeted.
 As it appears in SOW (U)
 6.2.4.  (S/NF) Conduct screenin  of large candidate groups to
 identify people with high quality remote viewing and related (i.e., search)
 ability.
 Expansion (U)
 (S/NF) Description:  Using a multi level screening procedure,
 identify high-quality remote viewers and individuals with an ability to
 locate items by psychoenergetic means.

 (S/NF) In addition to screening large groups of people who do
 not claim to have psychic abilities, an effort will be made to test the
 claims of persons who purport to having psychic ability.
 (S/NF) Deliverables:  4th quarter FY 1989, a report detailing
 the methods and results of the screening.
