This single-page memorandum, dated 23 May 1994, documents a request by PAG-TA on behalf of the program's external contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), to release five unclassified technical papers developed under Contract MDA908-93-C-004. The papers were intended for presentation at the annual meeting of the Parapsychological Association, held 7–10 August 1994 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. PAG-TA states it reviewed and endorsed the enclosed material and requested that approval be obtained from the Defense Intelligence Agency's Public Liaison Staff (PSP). Feedback was requested no later than 10 June 1994. The named enclosures concern anomalous cognition research topics including target and sender dependencies, target-pool management and noise reduction, Shannon entropy as an intrinsic target property, and autonomic detection of remote observation. The document is part of the CIA's declassified STARGATE collection on remote viewing and was approved for public release in 2000.
