(S$/CL=2/NOFORN) DIA and USAMRDC signed an MOA on 17 August 1984 that serves as a concept paper and gives USAMRDC a charter to perform R&D to validate the psychoenergetic phenomena. The concept provides for the use of operational personnel to support the R&D effort; however, there are no USAMRDC requirements for full time assignment of military intelligence personnel to USAMRDC to sugport the Ré effort. d. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Discussions to date with DIA indicated that the new Dov osychoenergetic effort will operate under strict security. It is anticipated that after approval of an MOA, DIA will request OPSEC and cover support from INSCOM. Such support is already provided to ICLP by the Security Support Detachment, 902d MI Group and Administrative Survey Detachment, and these organizations could feasibly provide similar support to the prospective DIA effort. e. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) In preparation for the ICLP transfer to DIA, the ICLP manager directed the preparation of a staff study to provide the rationale pehind the preparation of the MOA. A copy of the staff study is attached at Blue TAB B. rf. (U) The proposed MOA will: (Blue TAB C) (1) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all personnel currently assigned to ICLP to DIA. It will involve the transfer of "faces but not spaces." (2) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all ICLP documents to DIA. (3) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all equipment, maintenance contracts, rental agreements and on hand supplies to DIA. (4) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Permit the transfer of the two office buildings currently occupied py ICLP to DIA. This will be accomplished by an ISSA between DIA and Fort Meade after the effective date of the MOA. g. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) It is recognized and accepted that the deactivation of ICLP and its subsequent transfer to DIA will be a major task. With a positive approach and complete cooperation from the INSCOM staff, however, the transfer can be accomplished with INSCOM's best interests in mind and minimum disruption to ICLP operations. h. (U) Recommend that after review and approval by CG, INSCOM, the MOA be forwarded unsigned to OACSI, DA as a concept paper for their coordination and approval (a suggested cover letter has been drafted, and is attached at Blue TAB D). CG, INSCOM could then sign the MOA when it is returned upon completion of the QACSI action. (U) WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH: a.  (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Satisfy requirement to cancel INSCOM's involvement in psychoenergetics. b.  (S/CL=2/NOFORN) Permit the Intelligence Community to continue to use psychoenergetics as an intelligence collection tool. Approved For Release SECRET mens

There is a critical need for automation in USAINSCOM HUMINT collection activities, and I believe we should reallocate existing word processing equipment within INSCOM before we offer it to another organization.

(U) We have completed a review of project CENTER LANE with a focus on resources involved, results obtained and the role of INSCOM in this area. 2. (8) INSCOM has invested considerable effort over a long period of time to develop the remote viewing technology. As a result the Army enjoys a monopoly on this revolutionary concept for intelligence collection. We must insure that we do not lose this knowledge and experience in any action taken to change INSCOM's role in the use and development of the technology. 3. (8) I am concerned about these three aspects of the program. A. Continued research and development. We cannot abandon the work already done if for no other reason than to keep pace with the effort being expended by our adversaries. b. Current operations. Intelligence users in the Army, DIA, NSA and CIA have ali tasked this methodology to augment established disciplines and for missions that would be extremely difficult or impractical for any other collection resource. The Intelligence Community cannot afford the loss of this capability while it waits for a total refinement and understanding of the observed phenomenon. Cc. People involved. Changing INSCOM's role affects the dedicated personnel involved. We must insure the timely and fair reassignment of our excellent cadre who may or may not wish or be able toa participate in some further continuation of the program. 4. (8) In spite of these concerns it is my opinion that INSCOM, who has supported this project with 8 and IA funds and personnel assigned without spaces, should discontinue our involvement with psychoenergetic research and operations. To mitigate adverse impact in the areas of concern expressed above I intend to cease INSCOM CENTER LANE Project operations on 30 Sept 1964, but allow completion of outstanding contracts and training by 31 Decetpber 1984, This would: WARNING NOTICE: CENTER LANE SPECIAL ACCES $ oat meme AEN Es LA ; , T Se or PROGRAM RESTRICT DISSEMINATION TO THOSE WrTHeLASsFIED BY: CDR EN SS O4 Fy?
