Washington, DC, a company that specializes in social and behavioral research. Under the direction
of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), AIR is currently evaluating a program which researches
alternative techniques to enhancing human performance. One alternative technique in review is

determine whether this research has any long-term practical value for the intelligence community,
said, if it does? what changes should be made in methods and approach to atlhattee the value of
remote viewing research.
