Frequently Asked Questions

Deputy Secretary of Defense John Deutch (who later became CIA Director) requested it, and DIA official James Clapper (later Director of National Intelligence) personally followed up on scheduling.

This April 1993 exchange came about two years before Project STAR GATE was publicly terminated and partially declassified in 1995.

Public-Interest Summary

Two short internal DIA mail messages from April 1993, addressed to psychic-program officer John T. Berbrich, relaying that Deputy Secretary of Defense John Deutch (who would later become CIA Director) and an aide wanted a private briefing on Project STAR GATE, and that then-DIA official James Clapper (later Director of National Intelligence) had personally asked about the status of scheduling it. The exchange is mundane office correspondence — 'need to work with [redacted] to set up a time' — but it documents, in the government's own internal paperwork, that STAR GATE briefings were being requested at the very top of the Pentagon's civilian and intelligence leadership just two years before the program's public termination.
