(S/CL- 2/NOFORN) ORIGIN OF ACTION: CG decision, and subsequent ACSI ana eeretary of tne Army approval, to discontinue InSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) and transfer personnel and equipment to DIA (Blue TAB A). (i) DISCUSSION: a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) On 26 September 1984, the CG INSCOM approved an MUA that would transfer the ICLP to DIA with an effective date of 1 January 1985 (Blue TAB Bb). ‘Tae MOA had as its intent a total transfer of personnel, operations, equipment, and responsibility. The ACSI anproved tue HOA on 4 October 1934, and authorized a detailing action for a period of one year, if necessary (Blue TAB C). The MOA was delivered to DIA For review and coordination on iv October 1984 b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Concurrent with and subsequent to the oreparation of the MOA, tne ICLP Manager met with PIA officials to discuss the transfer. On 19 November 1984, the ICLP Manager learned that due to intricacies in fundine, PIA could not support a total transfer action at this time and therefore could not agree to the terms of tne OA.

The ICLP Manager informed these DIA personnel, who supported a detailing position, of MG Sdyster's strong desire to effect a total transfer. The ICLP Manager briefed COL Kirk and MG Soyster on these developments on 20 and 21 November 1984, respectively. c. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) As of 6 December 1984, DIA still intended to request a detailing action. The memorandum at Blue TAB D explains the basis for the DIA decision, provides rationale for a detailing action, and addresses the impact a detailing action will have on INSCOM resources. d.  (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Recommend that CG INSCOM approve the DIA request to detail INSCOM personnel to perform psychoenergetic intelligence collection and counterintelligence activities. The impact on INSCOM resources will be the loss of two TDA Spaces for the period of the detail and administrative costs (civilian Salaries, word processing equipment maintenance, and equipment rental) that are estimated to be $60,000 for the remainder of FY 85. (U) WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH: | a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Transfer the responsibility for all Dob psychoenergetic activity to DIA. | b.  (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Satisfy the requirement to cancel INSCOM's involvement in psychoenergetics IAW the directive of CG INSCOM, c.
