2.1 Train army personnel in CRV Stages III and IV.
2.1.1 Initiate training at the highest skill level (CRV Stage) of the
trainee.
2.1.2 Training for each CRV stage will normally be divided into three
two week working sessions. The Session dates will be mutually agreed to by SRI
and INSCOM.
2.1.3 After successful completion of CRV Stage III, schedule the trainee
to begin CRV Stage IV.
2.2 Determine the potential of the trainee for further training.

6.1 Use of human subjects
(a) The following definitions are used:
(1) At risk means that the human subject may be exposed to the
possibility of harm - physical, biological, psychological, sociological, or other as a consequence of an act or omission that goes beyond the application

(4i.) The study will be conducted only by persons possessing the
requisite scientific qualifications. The highest degree Of skill and care
will be required during all stages of study of persons whc_} conduct or assist
in the study.
(5) The human subject will be informed that at any time during the

involved. Except for the submission of reports and other data required by
this contract, any information obtained about human subjects as a result of
participation shall be held as confidential as the law allows.
(8) The study will be conducted so as to avoid all unnecessary
physical or mental suffering or injury.
(9) No study will be conducted if there is any inherent reason to
believe that death or disabling injury is likely to occur. Sufficient
animal or laboratory.experiments, or other evaluations, must have been completed
to give assurance of acceptable risks prior to the use of human subjects.
(10) The degree of risk to be taken will never exceed that which is
justified by the benefit to the subject and/or the humanitarian importance
of the knowledge to be gained.

will make participation more hazardous for them than it would be for normal
healthy persons, unless such condition is a necessary prerequisite for the
particular study involved. In any such case, the use of human subjects with
such pre-existing conditions must have been specifically described and
justified in the scope of the work to be performed under this contract.
(14) The scientifically qualified person conducting the study,
and each member of his research team, will be prepared to terminate the
subject's participation at any stage if he has reason to believe, in the
exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and careful judgement required of

JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT
1. (5) SRI International is uniquely qualified for this sole source
procurement by virtue of a combination of experience and performance.
2. (S/NOFORN) SRI International is a recognized leader in the field of
psychoenergetics and has performed similar work for other U.S. Government
agencies over the past few years. Previous work, under DIA contracts
MDA-9O8--S1-C--0292 and MDA-908--92-C-0034 has formed a highly meaningful data
base which will greatly enhance the value and effectiveness of this new
contractural effort.
3. (S) The effort involved for a new contractor to research the same level
of capability and expertise that SRI currently possesses for this area would
be too time-consuming and uneconomical to acquire and develop. To acquaint
a new contractor in this area of expertise, if he could be found, would
require several years simply to achieve the present level of expertise and
competence possessed by SRI Interriat.ional,
