Approved For Release 2000/ 9/09 P96-00788RO01100290005-5 6A SURtl SLIDE 0 ON) I am LTC Johnson, Project Manager for the INSCOM portion of DOD Project MOLDED TIGER. SLIDE 0. The purpose of this briefing is to provide you with background information concerning INSCOM's involvement in Project MOLDED TIGER. This briefing is divided into three major portions. SLIDE 1 ON) First, the history of INSCOM's involvement and the roles of Ma and INSCOM in the project. Next, a discussion of remote viewing and examples of completed projects for which we received the requestor's evaluation. And, finally, a review of those projects which have been completed but not evaluated. SLIDE 1 OFF First the history of INSCOM's involvement. In the fall of -1978, ACSI tasked INSCOM to determine if parapsychology could be used to collect intelligence. For our purposes parapsychology is defined in two major categories: First, physical actions performed by mental powers that cannot be explained by known physical means. This is known as telekinesis or plychokOntsis, and Second, perceptions which cannot be explained through known sensory means. This is known as ESP, .telepathy and remote viewing. SLIDE 2 ON) Specifically, INSCOM'S tasking was to determine if Remote Viewing could be used as a collection method. Remote Viewing. is defined, as the ability of an individual, to access information previously unknown, without regard to time, location, or any attempt to hide the tsvge't from a collector. SLIDE 2 OFF) To meet ACSI's tasking INSCOM established a project team under the Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Human Intelligence. The criteria developed to determine if remote viewing would be a viable collection method was as follows: SLIDE 3 ON First, could remote viewing be learned? Next could remote viewing be applied as a collection method? And, finally, could remote viewing respond to collection requirements. We are assessing the viability of a Remote Viewing session before initiating an OP and injecting an operative into "The Backrooms" for intelligence and safety.
