(S/CL-1/N0F0RN)
Ultimate
approval
for
the
conduct
of
CENTER
LANE
activities
within
INSC0M
rests
with
the
Secretary
of
the
Army.
The Army
General
Counsel
determined
that
the
intelligence
application
of
psychoenergetics
constitutes
human
experimentation
and,
therefore,
falls
under
the
provisions
of
DoD
Directive
5240. 1-R.
This
paper

provide
a
summary
of
approval history
of
INSCOM's
use
of
psychoenergetics

(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
In
May
1978,
the
Assistant
Chief
of
Staff
for
Intelligence
(ACSI),
Department
of
the
Army
(DA)
accepted
lead
responsibility
for
GRILL
FLAME
activities
within
the
DA.
Effective
January
1981,
by approval
of
the
Under
Secretary
of
the
Army,
INSCOM became
the
only
active
operational
GRILL
FLAME
element
in
the
Army.
Program
management
for
GRILL
FLAME
was
transferred
to
Commander,
INSCOM
effective
February
1981,
while
OACSI,
DAMI-ISH was
designated
the
focal
point
for
policy
matters
and
interface
at
the
national
level.
INSCOM's
intelligence
applications
of
psychoenergetics
were
conducted
under
the
GRILL
FLAME
Program
until
September
1982
when
Congress
directed
that
DoD
psychoenergetic
activities
could
not
be
conducted
within

psychoenergetic
efforts
under
a

program
nicknamed
CENTER
LANE.
The
effective
implementation
date
of
CENTER

was
December
1982.
Overall
responsibility
for
psychoenergetic
activities
within
DoD
resided
with
the
Defense
Intelligence
Agency
(DIA)
from
1978
until
September
1982.
DIA
currently
maintains
an
interest
in
the
intelligence
application
of

and
will
assume
responsibility
for

collection
on
or
about

(S/CL- 3/N0F0RN)
Human
use
has
been
an
issue
associated
with
CENTER
LANE/GRILL
FLAME
activities
since
the
program's
inception.
0ACSI
and
DIA addressed
the. human
use
issue
because
the
initial
program management
rested with
0ACSI
and because DIA
had overall
DoD responsibility
for
the

A
brief
history
of
the
Human
Use
issue
and
listing
of
pertinent
regulations
follow:
a.
( S/CL- 2/N0F0RN)
In
February
1979,
the
Army
General
Counsel
determined
that
GRILL
FLAME
activities
involved
testing
on human
subjects,
and
J
~
/
In
March
1979
,
the
^Surgeon
General
' s
Human
Subjects
Research
Review
Board
reviewed
the
GRILL
FLAME
protocol
and
concluded
that
it
represented
technology
transfer
and
validation
of
the
technology
transfer,
rather
than
research
or
clinical
investigation,
and
as
such,
GRILL
FLAME
activities
did
not
require
approval
for
human
use.
However,
the
board
expressed
concerns
that
future
Army
follow-on
work might
be
classified
as
research,
and
as
such,
plans
should
be
considered
to
establish
credible
human
use
review
procedures
to
oversee
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
In
April
1979,
the
Army
General
Counsel
determined
that
the
Army
could
continue/proceed
with
GRILL
FLAME
activities
as
long
as
HEW
guidelines
and
other
appropriate
precautionary measures
were
taken.
In
April
1980,
the
Under
Secretary
of
the
Army
approved
the
continuation
of
GRILL FLAME activities.
In
October
1980,
the
DoD,
DIA,
and
Army
General
Counsel
jointly
agreed
that
it
would
be
prudent
to
obtain written
approval
from
the
Deputy
Secretary
of
Defense
to
conduct
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
ACSI,
DA concurrently
initiated
action
to
obtain Secretary
of
the
Army
approval
to
conduct
GRILL
FLAME
activities.
In
September
1982,
INSC0M
GRILL
FLAME
activities
ceased
because
of

with
information
on
CENTER LANE
funding
for
FY
through
FY

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
$686K.
In
1979,
the
total
cost
to
INSC0M
was
$87K,
$75K
of
which
went
to
SRI - International
for
orientation
training.
In
1980
,
INSCOM's
costs
for
the
project were
only
$32K
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
$20SK
spent
in
1981,
$190K
went
to
external
contracts
with
SRI - Internat ional
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

funds.
Of
the
total
$24 2K costs
for
1982,
$125K
was
spent
in
support
of
this
joint
services
effort
and
$99K
spent
on
word
processing
equipment.
The
$121K FY
1983
budget
saw
the
beginning
of

and
$315K
INSC0M

funds
to
continue

The

were
used
in

areas:
a.
( S/ CL- 3 /N0F0RM)
Purchase
of

to
be
used
to determine
physiological
changes
during
the
conduct
of

Development
of
a

would
identify

talent
or
who

Development
of
a

in
"search

Over
the
years,
sponsor
agencies
have
asked
for
assistance
in
locating
lost
or
missing
equipment
or
personnel.
Because
this
is
not
a
conventional
remote

task,
we
have
had
little
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

If
in
fact
a
new
psychoenergetic
"search
problem"
technique
is
developed,
source
personnel
will
likely
be
trained
in

To
Provide
the
Director,
DIA
with
a
summary
of
evaluations
conducted
on
GRILL
FLAME/CENTER
LANE
activities
.
FACTS:
1.
(S/NOFORN)
In
June
1979,
Dr.
LaBerge,
then
Under
Secretary
of
the Army,
suggested
that
a
scientific
evaluation
committee
be
appointed
to
review
the Army's
parapsychological
activities.
In
early
July
1979,
Dr.
Ruth
Davis
recommended
that
because
of
the
special
interest
of
the
Secretary
of
Defense,
that
the
committee
review
the
total
DoD
posture.
The
mission
of
the
committee,
known
as
the
"GRILL
FLAME
Scientific
Evaluation
Committee"
was
as
follows:
a.
(S/N0F0RN)
To
review
the
parapsychological
research,
investigations,
and
applications
within
DoD
and
the
Intelligence
Community
.
b.
(S/N0F0RN)
To
assess
the
validity
of
claims
made
for
the
alleged
existence
of
the
PSI
phenomena,
with
particular
emphasis
on
the
experiments
which
were
instituted
to
approach
the
"proof
of principle.”
c.
(S/N0F0RN)
To
recommend
a
course
of
action
for
DoD
in
future parapsychological
activities.

GRILL FLAME Evaluations
The
Committee,
chaired
by
Mr.
Manfred
Gale,
published
their
report
in
December
1979.
Among
the
recommendations
made
by
the
Committee was
the
following:
"Operationally-oriented
RV activities
aimed
at
determining
the
empirical
value
of
RV
to
intelligence
should continue."
2.
(S/N0F0RN)
On
August
1982,
Rep.
Edward
P.
Boland,
Chairman,
House
Permanent
Select
Committee
on
Intelligence
(HPSCI),
requested
that
a
comprehensive
report
be
prepared
documenting
the
results
of
the
DoD
three
year
GRILL
FLAME
project
and
that
it
be
submitted
to
the
HPSCI
not
later
than
October
1983.
In response
to
this
request,
the
Assistant
Deputy
Director
for
Scientific
and
Technical
Intelligence,
DIA,
assembled
an
independent
Scientific
Evaluation
Team.
The
team
was
to
produce
a report
that
would:
a.
( S/CL- 2/N0F0RN)
Discuss
the methodology
and
findings
of
the research effort
to
include
all
relevant
statistical
analyses
on remote viewing
trial
applications.
b.
(S/CL- 2/N0F0RN)
Address
appropriate
recommendations
for
future
research
or
operational
applications
of
parapsychological
phenomena.
INSC0M
has
not
received
a
final
copy
of
the
report,
but
did
receive
a
copy
of
the
final
draft
of
the
report.
Although
the
Scientific
Evaluation
Team
did
not
examine
INSCOM'S
operational
program,
the
following
extracts
from
their
recommendations
seem appropriate:
"The evidence
shown
to
us
is
too
impressive
to dismiss
as
mere coincidence.
Certain
similarities between
the
SRI
and
Princeton results,
obtained
in very different
circumstances
by unrelated
investigators,
are particularly compelling.
...Exploration
of
the phenomenon
should not
be restricted
to
specific applications.
...It
is
our conclusion
that
Dr.
Puthoff's
team
(SRI
International) warrants
cautious
continued
fiscal
support."
3.
( S/CL- 3/N0F0RN)
The
Defense
Intelligence
Agency
published
the
results
of
their
three
year,
$1.5
million
psychoenergetic
research
effort
on
October
1983,
with
significant
recommendations
that
INSCOM'S
operational
remote viewing
project
continue
.

FACTS:
1.
( S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
In
December
1978
and
January
1979,
251
INSC0M personnel
in
the
greater
Baltimore/Washington,
D.C.
area
were
considered
for
participation
in
the
INSC0M
GRILL
FLAME
Project
( I GFP)
.
These
251
individuals
were
experienced
in
the
intelligence
disciplines
of
SIGINT,
PH0TINT
and
HUMINT
and
represented
more
than
units/organizations
within
INSC0M.
Of
the
251
individuals
considered,
117
were
interviewed
by
I GFP
management
personnel
under
the
guise
of
a
"survey"
to
determine
attitudes
about
the
possible
use
of
psychoenerget ic
phenomena
(parapsychology)
in
the
intelligence
field.
The
large
difference
between
number
considered
and
number
actually
interviewed was
due
to
the
following
elimination
factors
applied
by
IGFP personnel:
a.

CENTER

Personnel
Selection Procedures
(U)
During
the
selection
process,
IGFP
management
personnel
were
looking
for
individuals
who were
open minded,
adventurous,
above
average
intelligence,
mature
and
stable,
"artistic"
in
character
and
personality,
successful,
well
thought
of
by
self
and
co-workers,
articulate,
sensitive,
and
had
an
ability
to
"in-flow"
data.
These
characteristics
were
provided by Stanford
Research
Institute
(SRI)
International,
Menlo
Park,
CA.
SRI-
Internat ional
personnel
stated
essentially
that
no
definite
profile
had
been
established,
but
that
their
experience
showed
that
successful
subjects
(remote
viewers)
normally
possess
some
of
these
characteristics.
During
the
interview
phase
of
the
selection
process,
consideration
was
also
given
to
individuals
who
related
their
own
previous
psychoenerget ic
experiences.
Individuals
who
had
objections
to
the
military
use
of
psychoenergetics were
not
considered
for
final
selection
for
the
IGFP.
Additionally,
individuals
who
displayed
an
unreasonable
enthusiasm
for
psychoenergetics,
"occult
fanatics",
and
"mystical
zealots" were
not
considered
for
final
selection.
Of
the
117
individuals
interviewed,
one
refused
to
talk
about
psychoenergetics
at
all,
three
thought
that
most
of
what
they
had
heard
was
nonsense
or
trickery,
three
were
opposed
to
the
investigation
of psychic
phenomena
on religious
grounds,
and
110
had favorable
opinions
towards
psychoenergetics
and
the
possible
use
of
psychic
phenomena
in
the
military.
With
94%
of
the
people
interviewed
showing
favorable
attitudes
for
the
IGFP,
it
was
obvious
that
further
screening
was necessary
to
reduce
this
number
to
a manageable
amount.
IGFP
screened
the
candidates
to
ensure
equal
participation
across
the
intelligence
fields
of
SIGINT,
PHOTINT and HUMINT,
and
after
an
extensive
review
of
the
interviews,
individuals
were
selected
as
prime
candidates.
However,
it
was
the
opinion
of
IGFP personnel
that
approximately
30-35
individuals
possessed
the
requisite
potentials
desired
for
the
IGFP.
2.
( S/CL - 3/N0F0RN)
In
early
1980,
IGFP
participants
were
tested
by
the
INSC0M
Command
Psychologist
in
an
attempt
to
determine
a
suitable
profile
by which
further
participants
could
be
identified.
The
tests administered were:
a

Personal
Orientation
Inventory.
For
the
most
part,
the
group
was
emotionally
stable
with
no
marked
trends.
There
did
appear
to
be
an
interesting
similarity
in
defensive
style,
a
tendency
toward
artistic,
aesthetic,
and
cultural
interests,
and
an
introversive
style
of
emotional
expression.
From
these
test
results,
the
command
psychologist
constructed
a
test known
as
the
"INSC0M
Factor
Questionnaire"
to
be
used
with
the
Myers-Briggs
Type
Indicator
and
the
PF
as
initial
screening
tools
in
the
selection
of
new
project
participants.
Individuals
who
scored
within
parameters
specified
by
the
command
psychologist
then
received
personal
interviews
with
the
project
management
personnel.
From
those
interviews
and
testing
procedures,
new
project
participants
were
selected.
This
selection
process
was
implemented
in
mid-1980
and
is
in effect
today.

(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
When
the
Under
Secretary
of
Defense
for
Research
and
Engineering
authorized
the
use
of
P-6
resources
in
1983
to
continue
INSC0M
capabilities
in
psychoenergetics,
the
INSC0M
CENTER
LANE
Project
(ICLP)
Manager
solicited
a
proposal
from
SRI - International
for
the
development
of
a
state-of-the-art
psychological
screening/selection
profile
for
use
in
identifying
potential
sources.
The
profile
will
identify
personnel
who
may
have
some
psychoenergetic
talent
or
who
could
be
trained
to
perform psychoenergetic
functions.
The
ICLP
Manager
awarded
a
contract
to
SRI - International
for
development
of
the
profile
on
November
1983.
SRI - Internat ional
will
complete
work
on
the
profile by
December
1984.

directed
the
use

(RAPT)
Seminar
at Monroe

of
