‘ORIGIN
OF
ACTION:
CG,
INSCQM
decision
and
suobequent
ALSI
ana
Secretary
of
the
Army
approval,
to discontinue
INSCOM
CENTER LANE Project
(ICLP)
and
transfer
appropriate
operational
and
R&D
efforts
to
the
appropriate
organizations
(Blue TAB

(U)
DISCUSSION :
a.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
The ICLP manager has held discussions with DIA officials
and
the
CG,
US
Army
Medical
Research
and
Development
Command
(USAMRDC)
since
the
announcement
of the decision
to cancel the
ICLP
and transfer
its functions
to permit
the
continuance
of
the
intelligence
psychoenergetic
effort
within
DoD.
These
discussions resulted
in
a concept
that
will permit
the
continuation
of
intelligence
collection
through psychoenergetics within
Dot)
in
a program that will
be
managed
by
DIA.
The program
will
be
a coordinated
effort
throughout
the
Intelligence Community
to include DIA,
NSA,
CIA,
and
the US Army
(USAMRDC).
b.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
During
a
August
1984
meeting
between MG
Rapmund
and
LTC
Buzby,
MG Rapmund outlined his concept for USAMRDC participation
in psychoenergetics
and
stated
that
he
neither
needed
nor
wanted
the
transfer
of
ICLP
resources
-to
USAMRDC
to
support
his R&D
efforts;
therefore,
this
action
will
not
address
either
the
transfer
of
any
INSCOM
resources
to
USAMRDC
or
discuss proposed
utilization
of
operational personnel in support of USAMRDC R&D.

Discussions
to

with

indicated
that
the

e
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
In
preparation
for
the
ICLP
transfer
to
DIA,
the
ICLP
manaaer directed the preparation of
a staff
study
to provide
the
rationale
Dehind toe
Reparation of ihe MOA.
A copy of the staff study is attached at Blue TAB B.
f .
(U)
The proposed MOA will:
(Blue TAB
C)
(1)
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Transfer
all personnel
currently
assigned
to
ICLP
to
DIA.
It will involve the transfer of "faces but
not spaces."

(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Transfer all ICLP documents to DIA.
(3)
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)

currently occupied
by ICLP to
DIA.
This will be accomplished
by
an

n
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
It
is recognized
and
accepted
that
the deactivation
of ICLP
and
its
subsequent
transfer to DIA will
be
a major
task.
With
a
positive
appioach
and
complete
cooperation
from
the
INSCOM
staff,
however,
_ the
transfer
can
be
accomplished
with
INSCOM' s
best
interests
in

Comments
by
Mr.
Del
Toro:
( S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
I
concur
with
the
concept
of
transferring
ICLP
to
DIA,
but
do
not
concur
that
the
WANG
word
processing
equipment
should
be
included
in
the
transfer.
There
is
a
critical
need
for
automation
in
USAINSCOM
HUMINT
collection
activities,
and
I
believe
we
should
reallocate
existing
word
processing equipment within
INSCOM
before
we
offer
it
to
another
organization
.
