The "Family Jewels" was an internal [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] document - formally titled "Potential Flap Activities" - compiled in May 1973 at the direction of Director of Central Intelligence [[James Schlesinger]], who had succeeded [[Richard Helms]] as DCI in February 1973 and was alarmed by revelations emerging from the [[Watergate scandal|Watergate]] investigation about CIA involvement in domestic political operations. Schlesinger directed the CIA's deputy directors and senior officers to report to him any activities that had occurred or were currently underway that might be "outside the CIA's legislative charter." The resulting compilation ran to 693 pages.[^1]

The Family Jewels was partially declassified and released by the CIA under then-DCI [[Michael Hayden]] on June 26, 2007, following a FOIA lawsuit by the [[National Security Archive]]. The released version remains redacted in substantial portions. The unredacted document can be accessed through the CIA's FOIA Reading Room: cia.gov/readingroom/collection/family-jewels.[^1]
### Surveillance of Jack Anderson, 1972
The compilation records a surveillance codenamed CELOTEX II. From February 15 to April 12, 1972 the [[CIA Office of Security]] watched [[Jack Anderson]] and at various times his "legmen," [[Brit Hume]], [[Les Whitten]] and [[Joseph Spear]], at the direction of the Director of Central Intelligence. An observation post was maintained in the [[Statler Hilton]] hotel directly opposite Anderson's office, to attempt to determine Anderson's sources for highly classified Agency information appearing in his syndicated columns. The preceding item, CELOTEX I, covered [[Michael Getler]] of the Washington Post.[^2]
The compilation also includes a memorandum of September 9, 1972, from Richard Helms to [[Henry Kissinger]]. It states that after noting Anderson had a continuing source for classified documents on narcotics, the Agency arranged a trap so that recipients of CIA Intelligence Memoranda on narcotics could be identified. The memorandum identifies a leak to the press as having come from the [[Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs]].[^3]
A separate memorandum in the compilation, signed by [[Ted Shackley]] of the Western Hemisphere Division, concerns a column by Anderson linking [[Howard Hunt]] to break-ins at Chilean diplomatic installations in Washington and New York. The memorandum states that the Agency knew of no foundation for the allegation, that any connection between ITT and the break-ins was conjectural, and that the column itself said as much.[^4]

The Grill Flame Scientific Evaluation Committee, chaired by [[Manfred Gale]] of the Army staff and known in the program as the Gale Committee, reported in December 1979 on the Defense Department's parapsychology work: the [[Stanford Research Institute|SRI]] remote-viewing research, the psychokinesis contract of the Army Missile Command (MICOM) at [[Redstone Arsenal]], the replication trials of the [[Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity]] at [[Aberdeen Proving Ground]], and the [[United States Army Intelligence and Security Command|INSCOM]] unit at [[Fort Meade]] ([[Stargate Project|Grill Flame]]). "In June 1979 it was suggested by Dr. [[Walter LaBerge|LaBerge]], then Under Secretary of the Army, that a Scientific Evaluation Committee be appointed to review the Army's parapsychological activities. In early July 1979, Dr. [[Ruth Davis]] recommended that because of the special interest of the Secretary of Defense, that the Committee review the total DOD posture and report directly to the GRILL FLAME Oversight Committee." Its mission was "to review the parapsychological research, investigations, and applications within DOD and the intelligence community," "to assess the validity of claims made for the alleged existence of the PSI phenomena," and "to recommend a course of action for DOD." Members "were carefully screened to avoid any persons with preconceived notions for or against the subject under investigation"; "since 1972, the combined funding for DOD and the intelligence community was less than a total of $1.5M." The report's security guide stated that "all connection between official U.S. Government interest or participation in the generic field of Parapsychology is classified a minimum of SECRET, caveat NO FOREIGN DISSEMINATION," and that "future security planning for GRILL FLAME includes making it totally a special access program."[^1]

The report's own history, which it said was "not attributable to the Committee's action," ran from the SRI work of 1971 through [[Ingo Swann]]'s magnetometer trial of 1972 and [[Pat Price]]'s readings of 1973 to 1975: the [[West Virginia]] site, where Price "spoke out classified codewords he 'read' from file folders"; the Urals crane, of which "CIA analysts concluded that either Remote Viewing had taken place, or Price had intimate knowledge of the URDF-3"; the embassy code rooms; an in-house CIA trial of the fall of 1974 that produced "what could only be a SA-5 missile training site" in [[Libya]]; and the guerrilla training site of July 1975, "the same month Price tragically died of a heart attack." "Since July 1975, CIA interest has remained minimal and unofficial. The Agency claims to have stopped all work," the "primary reason for abandoning the effort" being, in a phrase the scan garbles, "of winning a 'Golden Fleece Award.'" On the Army side, MICOM let "a one-year $80K contract" in August 1977 "under the innocuous title, 'Investigation of Unconventional Discrimination Techniques'"; in July 1978 DIA "sponsored a series of four unique experiments" in which Swann, given the coordinates of "a Soviet strategic missile field east of Moscow," "passed through a silo cover, 'traveling' down until reaching a connecting tunnel," entering "a command and control room" whose "floors are paved in 'white tiles'"; in August 1978 Vorona chaired the first meeting toward "a coordinated DOD program"; INSCOM's selection criteria of the autumn of 1978 were "above average intelligence, outgoing personality, adventuresome, open-minded, mature, artistic nature, and successful life career." The Grill Flame steering committee first met on February 13, 1979, with "all Service ACSI's, Dr. Ruth Davis, Dr. LaBerge, and Dr. Vorona (standing in for LTG [[Eugene Tighe|Tighe]])." Of the Navy: "Suspicion lingers among Army project personnel that Navy may have nevertheless kept a tightly compartmented effort going. Navy representatives attend all DOD meetings, but remain uncommitted and literally silent." Funding to date: "CIA, 1972-78: $240K. DIA, 1979: $100K. USAF, 1976-79: $300K. Army, 1977-79: $490K."[^1]
The DIA minutes of a meeting held at 0930 hours on November 28, 1978, in the DIA conference room at Pomponio Plaza, record an earlier session of the DoD Grill Flame Committee. Dr. Vorona opened the session with a caution to keep "a low profile with minimal fanfare," and the minutes set the next meeting for February 13, 1979.[^3] A memorandum for record of the February 14, 1979 meeting dates that meeting to "14 Feb 79."[^4] SRI contract DAAK11-79-C-0057, section F.1, states that "a meeting was held in August 1978 to establish a unified DoD effort in the development of the remote viewing process for intelligence purposes."[^5]
### Findings
"RV research and investigations thus far have not proved the existence of the phenomena and have not conclusively established any parametric dependencies. Many of the anecdotal events reported to this Committee as potential evidence of the existence of RV do not adequately sustain their claim under careful scrutiny. A few of the examples are subjectively spectacular, but lack of scientific procedures precludes their consideration as scientific evidence of the phenomena. On balance, the Committee has indeed been persuaded that there is some probability that effects attributed to the RV phenomena exist under unexplained circumstances and in conjunction with particular individuals. However, to date, the experimental techniques have not been adequate to document such effects." Of the programs: "Inadequate documentation and failure to apply adequate controls are the most frequent causes which limit the credibility that can be given to reports of 'success' attributed to RV applications. In the judgment of the Committee, sole dependence on SRI-like protocols to resolve the RV issue will not be fruitful"; "lack of proper management involvement, direction, and review was evident at all activities surveyed"; "operational programs, that by their very existence assume the reality of RV as given, may inadvertently establish the assumption in other communities that RV is real." "The Committee found no evidence or any suggestion of fraudulent intent in any of the work examined." Credible research would need "management commitment to a program which is sustained for an indefinite period of time at a cost of several million dollars per year." The MICOM psychokinesis work "will not prove or disprove the existence of the PK phenomena," whereas members who visited Hawke's laboratory at Livermore "were very impressed by the scientific approach." Intelligence on the Warsaw Pact was "admittedly, highly speculative," resting on "a document prepared by the U.S. Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency" (the reference list gives Maire and LaMothe's DIA report of September 1975), a Garrett AiResearch literature review, and a recent report of "at least three and possibly more officially-sponsored research groups" in Moscow, Leningrad and Alma-Ata; "the reasons for frequent iron-curtain representatives at Parapsychological Conferences" might be "establishing contacts with selected attendees for intelligence purposes." Of the four proposed mechanisms (extremely low frequency electromagnetism, quantum correlation, the "extra-dimensional hypothesis" of Targ, Puthoff, [[Edwin May|May]], Feinberg and Rauscher, and Walker's thermal noise), "none of these theories is sufficiently persuasive."[^1]

### The Reply
The Defense Department's Grill Flame committee, under Vorona of DIA, had heard on November 27, 1979, that the report "had not been completed"; one member "questioned the substantive expertise of the Gale Committee," and the group moved that Vorona "inform him of the working group's desire and need to see and be briefed on the Gale Committee's report prior to it being given to any other party or group," since "to do otherwise would be extremely hazardous as this group represents the collective expertise, experience and background of the entire DoD and Intelligence Community." On January 10, 1980, "Mr. Gale briefed the Grill Flame Committee on his committee's findings," and "Mr. Gale's briefing was not received favorably by the Grill Flame group. There were many substantive reservations based upon errors in both facts and analysis. The report was, in the view of the group, misleading and inadequate, in part because of ambiguity in language"; it was "suggested that General Tighe contact Dr. Laberge to obtain copies of the report and to stop any further distribution," and a subcommittee was appointed "to review the Gale report in depth." At the same meeting "CIA volunteered that no Agency funds were budgeted for FY 80, 81 or 82 on parapsychological research." Vorona's written comments supported the finding that "unexplained observations of human capabilities to generate data of potential utility to intelligence have been documented" and "strongly" disagreed with the recommendation to end the MICOM and AMSAA work, "based on a misinterpretation of these programs"; the "condemnation" of the SRI approach "is not understood or acceptable without further explanation"; and "many of the difficulties in the report, especially those of fact and incompleteness, could have been avoided if the report had been collectively reviewed in draft, rather than allowing only individual inputs."[^2][^3]

Stoner's memorandum of conversation on Gale's briefing of January 14, 1980, charged that Gale "has, in briefing the report here and elsewhere, done a great deal of verbalizing (shading) issues, personal opinion, 'faction,' and general guesswork not contained anywhere in the report. Some of it is just plain misleading." Against Gale's "I rejected two people who had pronounced tendencies to be nonobjective": "One person himself declined the offer to participate, claiming potential flak from his corporation. The other, Dr [[Ray Hyman]], was rejected not because of any action by Gale, but because of a protest memo from MG [[Edmund Thompson|Thompson]] to Dr LaBerge." Quizzed by Thompson "on what the word 'proof' in the report findings meant," Gale answered "with a flurry of scientific buzzwords and jargon." Gale's figure of "over 5000 experiments" was "an unadulterated W.A.G."; his remark that "the Surgeon General is critical of the MICOM proposal" rested on "a cribbed copy of the Surgeon General's comments. Question I have is who gave it to him"; and "because of prior intelligence problems (e.g., LSD case) two members of the Surgeon General's review panel are dead set against this kind of work." "In my opinion the Gale report is big, but weak... By pushing to have the report quickly accepted by Dr LaBerge he will have an effective shield from tough questions and criticism." Gale "has gone far beyond that charter," "selling the report around the Pentagon," and "should be thanked by the DoD Steering Committee and allowed or told to quietly go his way." According to Stoner, Vorona had written to Tighe on January 11 urging that the report "be put on hold." On January 25 Gale asked Stoner to distribute 27 copies, LaBerge's "official copy by Monday, 28 Jan," with Stoner's office "designated as Office of Record for all reports." On February 6, 1980, the under secretary of defense, [[William Perry]], restricted the use of Program 6 funds, since it was "not appropriate for Army to fund technology programs aimed at scientific demonstration of parapsychology."[^4][^5]

### After the Report
[[John Kramar]], AMSAA's Grill Flame project officer, wrote for the record on February 13, 1980, under the subject line "Scientific Evaluation Committee (SEC) GRILL FLAME Report, Dated November 1979," that the report, "transmitted to AMSAA January 1980, was found to be somewhat ambiguous and confusing," and took "exception" to "Terminate all AMSAA GRILL FLAME efforts": "This recommendation, as best as can be determined, is based only on a partial understanding of AMSAA's initial effort, which was terminated before the SEC came into being. There is an apparent mistake by the SEC in considering the AMSAA challenge/validation efforts to be an integral part of the SRI contract," copying Gale and DARCOM. Murray Watt's comments of the same month, "my personal assessment," written for "Dr Vorona's letter to LTG Tighe," whose "tone... will be rather general," found the report "very shallow in nature," its recommendations "vague," "unless doing away with the program can be considered as a constructive suggestion"; of annex 5, "after all, we provided the committee with most of the data contained in the Annex"; of the screening of members, "private conversations with individual committee members give quite the opposite view"; of the handwriting passage, "they do everything but call Targ a 'cheat.' Did they, in fact, question Targ on this handwriting issue?"; and of the minority, "it appears that the committee (minority) is more concerned about the possible loss of their credibility." Colonel Chad B. White of INSCOM told Brigadier General Thomas J. Flynn on March 10 that the report "has now been released," forwarding "the complete executive summary" and "that portion of the report dealing directly with INSCOM's program." On March 19, 1980, Puthoff, Targ and May wrote to LaBerge, by then principal deputy under secretary for research and engineering, that "we have just learned that, based on a recommendation of the Gale Committee, ODDR&E will not provide support for R&D efforts in the Grill Flame area," and "were further advised that a major factor leading to this recommendation was that the Committee concluded that the work being pursued under Grill Flame was of such a complex nature as to not provide basic proof-of-principle": "our contracts stipulated that we provide 'what if' threat analyses, utilizing experimental protocols applicable to specific operational tasks; we were not mandated to undertake formal proof-of-principle research," and "our efforts have yielded both general results and specific data that have been described to us by our various DoD and Intelligence Community clients as being of vital importance to the national interests." A three-page slide digest headed "Gale Committee Report, 1980" reduced the findings to "Individuals involved are sincere, dedicated," "No evidence of fraud, deception," "Management is ambivalent, lacks focus," and "SRI dependence phased-out."
