Background Document Excerpt: “In his speech of 5 October, President Gorbachev announced numerous unilateral Soviet measures relating to strategic offensive arms in response to President Bush’s unilateral initiatives. Gorbachev stated that the Soviets would unilaterally reduce their number of accountable strategic warheads to 5,000 rather than the 6,000 provided for in START. Moreover, be said they would remove 503 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs), including 137 missiles with multiple, independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), from alert status. Gorbachev’s statement reflects reductions since the September 1990 START data exchange, and therefore includes some missiles that had already been deactivated.” Document Archive Gorbachev’s Response to the US…

Background A flight investigation has been conducted on a roll-stabilized ramjet test vehicle. Engine performance data are presented over a Mach number range of 2.3 to 2.7, a range of fuel-air ratio of 0.038 to 0.050, and an altitude range of 3,000 to 40,000 feet. Roll-control performance is presented over a Mach number range of approximately 2.3 to 2.4. Theoretical values of the half amplitude and the period of the self sustained roll oscillation show good agreement with experimental results.

Background This report presents the results of a review of Soviet research on the biophysics of parapsychological processes. The reviewers centered their attention on novel biophysical Information transfer (NBIT) mechanisms. The body of the report treats Soviet application of statistical theories, research done on electrostatics, the development of remote sensors, hypothesized carrier mechanisms, human sensitivity to magnetic fields, and performance training to improve. NBIT speculations are made with respect to Soviet research organization and as to the direction of future R&D. Conclusions are drawn concerning Soviet progress in understanding and applying NBIT mechanisms. I requested the document Parapsychology and AI Research Report,…
Background This document is housed within the National Archives & Records Administration (NARA) and is an archived “Foreign Service Despatch” from the American Embassy in Kathmandu to the Department of State in Washington, D.C. It describes the rules set forth when coming across the YETI in Nepal. The regulations set forth include: 1. Royalty of Rs. 5000/- Indian Currency will have to be paid to His Majesty’s Government of Nepal for a permit to carry out an expedition in search of ‘Yeti’. 2. In case ‘Yeti’ is traced it can be photographed or caught alive but it must not be…
Background The Soviet Union, its surrogates and other countries hostile to the United States, identify the U.S. Navy as a primary target for espionage. They want the Navy’ s classified information and critical technology. The Naval Investigative Service (NIS) has the primary mission of combating espionage and protecting the Department of the Navy from the efforts of hostile intelligence services. This paper focuses on our primary espionage threat, the Soviet Union, and describes its tactics and targets. The current NIS counterintelligence effort is examined and some of the recent Navy spy cases are reviewed. The paper concludes with recommendations for future…
