Central Intelligence Agency
Senate Appropriations Committee Congressionally Directed Action, STAR GATE
Memo · written 10 May 1995 · released 4 April 2000
Why this matters
An 11-page 1995 package produced as Congress directed the CIA to take over and evaluate STAR GATE, the Pentagon's two-decade 'psychic spying' (remote viewing) program. It traces the effort back to Army-funded work at Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s, months before an outside evaluation led to the program's termination. It is one of about 12,000 STARGATE records in CREST, most indexed by little more than a title.
