In preparation for the 5 May 1993 STAR GATE
briefing to Dr. Perry and Dr. Deutch, we are providing
the following background information:
TAB A: Hard copies of the briefing charts.
TAB B: A special report recently prepared by
the STAR GATE unit that summarizes
project history and contains recent
project findings.
TAB C: A summary of an old report that Dr. Perry
may still recall when he was Under
Secretary of Defense. The report resulted
from a review of this area by Dr. Manfred
Gale and led to a policy decision by Dr.
Perry that was negative on research. This
policy was later reversed by Dr. DeLauer,
Under Secretary of Defense in 1983.
We are still not sure what prompted the inquiry
into STAR GATE by Dr. Perry and Dr. Deutch. This could
be related to potential Russian or Chinese activities in
this area, or-do to their general interest in the topic.
Our briefing i's a balanced overview of the three STAR
GATE program areas:
- Foreign Assessments
- External Research
- In-House Activities

DR should be aware that Dr. Perry had knowledge of
this area in the late 1970's and may still recall some
of the early difficulties indicated on TAB C. Our
recent efforts have overcome all the early deficiencies.
We are prepared to discuss this part of the area's early
history should you-desire.
