ISSUE:
(U)
To
provide
the
ACSI
with
information
on
CENTER
LANE
funding
for
FY
79 through
FY
84.
FACTS:
1.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
The
total
cost
for
INSCOM's
use
of
psychoenergetics
for
intelligence
purposes,
less
personnel
salaries,
for
FYs
1979
through
1983
was
$703K.
In
1979,
the
total
cost
to
INSCOM
was
$87K,
$75K
of
which
went
to
SRI-International
for
orientation
training.
In
1980,
INSCOM's
costs
for
the
project
were
only
$42K
and
there
were
no
external
contracts.
In
1981,
funding
levels
were
increased
to
permit
INSCOM
to
participate
in
the
Joint
Services
GRILL
FLAME
Program
with
DIA.
Of
the
$201K
spent
in
1981,
$190K
went
to
external
contracts
with
SRI-International
in
support
of
the
Joint
Services
Program.
1982
was
the
second
and
last
year
of
INSCOM's
support
to
the
Joint
Services
Program
due
to
congressional
restrictions
placed
on
the
use
of
NFIP
funds.
Of
the. total
$245K
costs
for
1982,
$128K
was
spent
in
support
of
this
Joint
Services
effort
and
$99K
spent
on
word
processing
equipment.
The
$128K
FY
1983
budget
saw
the
beginning
of
the
new
coordinate
remote
viewing
training
at
SRI-International
at
a
cost
of. $36K,
expansion
of
advanced
training
under
a
consultant
services
agreement
with
Mr.
Robert
Monroe
of
the
Monroe
Institute
of
Applied
Sciences,
Faber,
Virginia
at
a
cost
of_ $24. 4K
and
the
expenditure
of
$4QK
for
additional
word
processing
equipment.

CENTER

2.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN )
In
FY
CENTER
LANE
received
$496. 5K
in
p~6
funds
through
the
Assistant
Secretary
of
the
Army
(Research,
Development
and
Acquisition)
and
$235K
INSCOM
S&IA
funds
to
continue
the
project's
efforts.
The
P-6
funds
are
being
used
in
these, areas
a.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Purchase
of
biomonitoring
equipment
to
be
used
to
determine
physiological
changes
during
the
conduct
of
psychoenergetic
tasks.
b.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN )
Development
of
a
state-of-the-art
_
psychological
screening/ selection
profile
for
use
in
identifying
potential
sources.
Such
a
profile
would
identify
personnel
who
may
have
some
psychoenergetic
talent
or
who
could
be
trained
to
perform
psychoenergetic
functions.
The
profile
will
be
used
to
assist
in
the
recruitment
of
new
sources.
c.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN )
Determine
the
countermeasures
potential
of
extremely
low
frequency
(ELF)
electromagnetic
radiation.
This
effort
will
examine
the
possibility
that
certain
as
yet
unidentified
ELF
radiations
have
a
detrimental
effect
on
mental
states
critical
to
psychoenergetic
performance.
This
study
may
also
provide
information
on
ELF
environments
conducive
to
optimum
psychoenergetic
performance.
The
logical
follow-on
to
this
effort
would
be
the
development
of
local
counter-countermeasures
environments
for
CENTER
LANE
sources.
d.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Development
of
a
new
psychoenergetic
technique
for
use
in
"search
problems."
Over
the
years
sponsor
agencies
have
asked
for
assistance
in
locating
lost
or
missing
equipment
or
personnel.
Because
this
is
not
a
conventional
remote
viewing
task,
there
has
been
limited
success
at
providing
timely
usable
intelligence
in
these
cases.
That
is
not
to
say
that
information
we
provided
was
inaccurate,
just
that
it
was
not
directly
usable
to
resolve
the
intelligence
problem
at
hand.
If
in
fact
a
new
psychoenergetic
"search
problem"
technique
is
developed,
we
would
anticipate
that
source
per-
sonnel
will
be
trained
in
this
technique
because
"search
problems"
continue
to
be
priority
tasks
received
by
this
office.
e.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN )
Continuation
of
coordinate
remote
viewing
training
at
enhanced
levels
for
one
source.
f.
( S/CL-3 /NOFORN
)
Initiation
of
CRV
training
for
four
new
source
personnel.
INSCOM awarded
a
contract
to
SRI-Internation-
al
on
November
1984
to
perform
work
described
in
para
2b -e
above.
Biomonitoring
equipment
will
be
purchased
as
soon
as
it
becomes
available.
The
INSCOM
S&IA
money
is
used
to
