The account

A December 1992 legal memo, written as the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center took over DIA's DTI-S unit, found a contractor doing human parapsychology tests with informed consent and DTI-S running occasional operations for the DEA and the Energy Department, and advised treating it all as human experimentation (p.1-2). In May 1994 DIA told Sen. Sam Nunn it was drafting a multi-year research plan with peer review by neutral scientists, as Congress had demanded (p.1-2). A CIA status paper of May 1995 set out the transfer from DIA, immediate declassification of CIA sponsorship, and a planned National Research Council panel review (p.1-4).
