SUBJECT:
CENTER LANE Briefing
for
CG,
USAINSCOM
1.
( S/CL-4/NOFORN )
On
26 August
1983
from
1125-1235
hours
LTC
Brian Buzby,
CENTER LANE
Project
Manager,
CPT Frederick Atwater,
CENTER
LANE
Operations
Officer,
and
CW2(.P)
Joseph
McMoneagle,
CENTER
LANE
Project
Member,
presented
briefings
on
the
current
status
of
CENTER
LANE
and
the
Monroe
Institute
of
Applied
Sciences
(MIAS)
to
CG,
USAINSCOM
in
room
121,
Arlington
Hall
Station.
The
original
CG
request
was
for
a
briefing
on
MIAS,
however
I thought
it was appropriate
to provide
him an
update
on
the project
2.
(S/CL-2/NOFORN)
Prior
to
the
briefing,
I
paid
a
courtesy
call
on
COL
Charles
Partridge,
USAINSCOM
Chief
of
Staff.
I
informed
him
of
the
topics
I
planned
to
discuss
with
the
CG
after
which
he
requested
a
formal
update
of
the
Project.
I
welcomed
that
opportunity
and
recommended
that
be
accomplished
in late September.
COL
Partridge then asked
if
I was
in contact
with LTC John Alexander
and
if
I was
receiving
information
from
him.
I
explained
that
LTC
Alexander's
involvement
with
parapsychology was
entirely
overt
and
that, we
neither
had. nor
wanted
any
contact
with
him.
I
then
cautioned
COL
Partridge
that
our
association with
MIAS
is
classified
and
sensitive.
He
understood
our
concern about any association with
LTC Alexander
.
3.
(u)
I
attempted
to
see
COL
Stanley
Hyman,
DCSOPS,
USAINSCOM,
however,
he
was
on
leave.
I
did
see
Mr
Jimmy
Garrett, ADCSOPS,
and told him about
the purpose
of
our
briefing
with
MG Stubblebine
.
He
then
informed
me
that
the
CENTER
LANE
update
I prepared on
16 August
1983
had
not
been provided
to
the
CG
.
4.
(S/CL-4/NOFORN)
I
provided
MG
Stubblebine
with
five
information papers
on
the
status
of
CENTER
LANE,
our
association
with
MIAS,
and
an
explanation
of
the
Gateway
experience.
They
were

MG Stubblebine
returned
copies
of
Incl

and
retained
Incl
5.
In
addition
to
topics
covered
by
the
papers,
I
also
asked
MG
Stubblebine
about
his discussions with
CPT Rufus
Jackson,
an^
MI
officer assigned
to
HQ,
USAREUR
.
He provided
me with
sufficient
information
that
will
permit
me
to
consider
Jackson
for
assignment
to CENTER LANE.
5.
(S/CL-4/N0F0RN)
I
then
mentioned
our
discussions
with
OACSI,
DA
on
the procurement
of
P-6
funds
for
FY
training.
At
that
time
the
CG started
to
relate
some
of
his
experiences
and personal
thoughts
in
the
field
of
parapsychology.
It
was
obvious
that
the
CG wanted
to
continue
lengthy
discussions
on
the
subject,
but
his
busy
schedule
that
day
would
not
permit
further
discussions;
therefore
I
recommended
that
we
schedule
him
for
an
indepth
briefing/discussion
at
Fort
Meade
in
late
September/early
October.
He
welcomed
the
opportunity
and
instructed me
to coordinate
the
briefing
with
his Aide-de-Camp.
The
late
September/early October
time
frame
will
permit
him
to
reflect
on
his
recent
MIAS
experience
which
should
allow
for
more
meaningful
discussions
with
CENTER
LANE
personnel
.
Upon
completion
of my presentation,
CPT Atwater
and
CW2
( P)
McMoneagle
provided
the
CG
with
information
on
MIAS
and
the
Gateway
experience
.
6.
(S/CL-4/NOFORN)
In
response
to
my question
on
what
the
CG
wanted me
to
do with
the project,
he
directed
me
to
expand
the
program
with
quality
people,
develop
a
screening
program
to
identify
qualified
people
for
the
project;
and
employ
advance
techniques
for
intelligence collection.
7.
(U)
Upon conclusion
of
the briefing
I briefed
COL
Partridge
on
the
results
of
the
meeting
with
the
CG
to
include
the
CG'
s
request
for
a
further
briefing
in
late
September/ear ly
October
and
the
reason
for
the
five-six
week
waiting
period.
COL
Partridge agreed
on the need
for
another briefing.
8.
(U)
We will
begin
to prepare
for
a
late
September
briefing
for
the
CG
.
While
we
will
give
him
a
formal
briefing
on
our
current
projects
and
intended
future
courses
of
action,
I
believe
the
CG will
want
to
focus
on
his
MIAS
experience,
and
hold technical discussions with CENTER LANE personnel
.
