Douglas Tang
Chief of biostatistics at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research who sat on the 1979 Gale Committee and joined its minority opinion against operational remote viewing.
Douglas B. Tang, chief of the department of biostatistics and mathematics in the division of biometrics at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, served on the Grill Flame Scientific Evaluation Committee under Manfred Gale in 1979. With Jesse Orlansky and Harry Holloway he signed the minority opinion: "Full evaluation of operational tests of 'Remote Viewing' would require valid ground truth data, reliable scoring procedures, preliminary trials to establish adequate experimental procedures and whatever lead times are needed to conduct adequate tests," and "a minority of the Committee believes that a test program in an operation-like environment is not likely to provide useful or reliable data."1
