CENTER LANE
DAMI- ISH
CENTER LANE Funding Initiative
(U)
2.
(U)
BACKGROUND :
m
a.
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
At
the
end
of FY
83 DIA’* GRILL FLAME effort
fell under
the
same Congressional constraints
(TAB
A)
on
the use of
National Foreign
Intelligence Program
(NFIP)
resources
that Army faced
in
September
1982.
b*
( S / CL- 1/N0F0RN)
Because Army had
successfully met Congressional
guidance with
the CENTER LANE project,
DIA asked
if we would be willing
to continue
the research efforts they had
scheduled
for FY 84 and part of
FY
85.
Funding
for these efforts was anticipated
from
the USDRE.
c *
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
Cdr
IMS COM,
the CENTER LANE Project Manager,
and
the Principal
Deputy and Deputy
ASA(RDStS)
all
approved
the
idea concep-
tually and discussions were undertaken with DIA on
the
research projects
they desired
that Army pursue.
The refined project list
(TAB
B)
is
mutually agreeable
to DIA and
Army.
d.
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
DAMI-XSH discussed
the subject with OUSDRE and
was ultimately told
that
the money was available and
ready
to be moved.
Contact with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA)
,
the
actual
source of the
funds,
resulted
in
a decision
to move
the money
covertly through DCSRDA,
if approved.
ODCSRDA action officer has con-
curred conceptually with
the
idea.
3.
(U)
DISCUSSION .
a.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
The research projects which would be funded with
this
initiative are of interest
to both DIA and Army.
Several
of the
projects are of great
interest
to Army and
the amount of money
($200K for
Psychokinesis
(PK)
alone)
are
far beyond
our means
to
fund
on our ovm.
b.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
An additional benefit which accrues
to Army
is
that
the Standord Research
Institute
(SRI)
International
team working
on
Army contracts will
be
funded
at
a
sufficient
level
for probably
the
first
time
to not only insure
team
integrity,
but
to allow sub-
contracting with experts
in
related
fields.
Total
funding
for SRI for
FY 84 and
part of FY 85 would
be $1.07M with
the approval
of
this
proposal.
s
c.
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
This relatively large
influx
of money
into
the
SRI
team creates
a
slight "cueing"
problem
in
terms of SRI being able
to work on all
of
the projects
to be
funded.
This area
has been
satis-
factorily resolved
for now and
should
pose
no
problem- in
the
future,
especially with
a willingness
to extend
the work
into
FY
85.

CENTER LANE
DAMI-ISH
CENTER LANE Funding
Initiative
(U)
d.
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
DIA
is retaining
it6 on-site monitor at SRI and
is funding him outside
the
NFIP.
The DIA representative will
provide
assistance
to
the
CENTER LANE Project Manager and.be
responsive
to his
direction,
insofar
as
it
is
in consonance with DIA guidance.
DIA will
also be able
to maintain active
involvement
in
the CENTER LANE project
through their representative and provide continuity of effort with
the
contractor.
e.
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
Because of the change
in Army roles
that this
funding
initiative brings,
DIA and DAMI-ISH have agreed
that DIA use of
the CENTER LANE compartment
is justified.
Upon approval
of this funding
proposal
INSCOM's OPSEC Support Detachment,
902d MI Group will be tasked
to provide security instruction and classification guides
to
DIA.
This
action has been coordinated with DAM1-CI.
f*
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
Upon approval of facing memorandum by ASA(RDA)
,
DAMI-ISH will make contact with DARPA and work out
the details of the
MIPR
to DCSRDA.
The Congressional prohibition against use of NFIP or
NFIP-derived
funds has been discussed with DARPA,
but will be reiterated.
USDRE will be
informed when contracting and
transfer of the funds
to SRI
has been completed.
g.
(S/CL-l/NOFORN)
The adverse
impact of Army accepting
this
funding
is
an
increased workload
on both
the
ISH action officer and
the
CENTER LANE Project Manager.
In effect Army has become Executive Agent
for CENTER LANE
type activities within DOD and
has
responsibilities which
will
involve frequent contact with DIA and possibly with OUSDRE.

it has chosen
to
restrict
its partici-
pation
to
that of an on-site representative with

International,
to assist
in monitoring
research projects.
