FOR SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
SUBJECT:
CENTER LANE
(U)--ACTION MEMORANDUM
1.
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
Purpose:
To obtain your appro^l
for 'the
discontinuation’ of
Intelligence
and Security
Command
(INSCOM)
involvement with psychoenergetic research and
operations.
2.
(U)
Discussion:
a.
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
CENTER LANE
is an
INSCOM Special
Access
Program which utilizes an aspect of parapsychology known
as
Remote Viewing
(RV)
as
the collection method
for obtaining
in-
formation of intelligence
interest.
Your approval
for
the Army
to engage
in
CENTER LANE activities was most recently obtained
on
Sep 83.
b.
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
CDR INSCOM has reviewed
the project and
reached
the decision
to discontinue
the command's involvement
with psychoenergetic
research and operations.
^ Recognizing
that
INSCOM has
invested considerable effort over
a long period
of
time
to develop
the
RV technology and holds
a monopoly on
this
revolutionary concept
for
intelligence collection, he desires
that we not lose
this knowledge
and
experience.
c.
(U)
As
such,
INSCOM intends
to do
the following:
(1)
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
Cease
CENTER LANE operations on 30
Sep 84,
but allow contracts
and
training
to continue
to
Dec
84.
(2)
(S/ CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Transfer project operational
aspects
to DIA and
technology extension
to
the
US
Army Medical
Research
and Development
Command.
In
the event DIA
is not
interested
in
the
transfer, NSA will be considered.
