(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
At
approximately
1000
hours
January
1985
Dr.
Vorona
told
LTC
Buzby
that
the
purpose
of
the
briefing
was
to
provide
MG
Lary
with
information
on
the
capabilities
and
potential
of
remote
viewing
for
intelligence
collection.
Dr.
Vorona believed
that MG Lary was
psychoenerget ic
program
through
Office
of
the
USDRE.
Mr.
Hurwitz
and
Dr.
Vorona
wanted
to
ensure
that
MG
Lary,
and
therefore
the
Deputy
Secretary
of
Defense,
was
aware
of
the
intelligence
applications
of
psychoenerget ics
,
and
what
DIA
and
the A tell igence Community
had
done
in
the
field.
3.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
The briefing was
to
be
presented
to MG
Lary
in
Mr.
Hurwitz
' s
office.
MG
Lary
arrived
at
1035
hours
accompanied
by
COL
Hollander.
Neither
Mr.
Hurwitz
nor
Dr.
Vorona
had
invited
COL
Hollander,
but
there
was
no
objection
to
bis
presence
at
the
briefing.
Dr.
Vorona
began
the
briefing
with
an
historical
overview.
After
MG
Lary
stated
he
was
familiar
with
the background,
LTC
Buzby
began
his
portion
of
the
briefing.
MG
Lary
stopped
LTC
Buzby
after
three
examples,
and
stated
he
and
COL
Hollander
were
totally
aware
of
the
GRILL
FLAME/CENTER
LANE
programs
and
that
they
did
not
need
to
"be
sold"
on
the
need
for
such
a program.
He
went
on
to
say
that
he
was
at
the meeting
to
clarify
who
within
DoD had
the
charter
to
perform psychoenerget ic
R&D,
to ensure
that
DIA was
aware
of
the
DSD/USDRE
program,
and
to
inform
DIA
officials
that
they
could
not
use
R&D
resources
to
support
their
effort.
At
this
point,
LTG
James
A.
Williams,
Director,
DIA
entered
the
meeting
and
participated
in
the
ongoing
dialogue
with
MG
Lary
and
COL
Hoi lander
.
4.
(S/NOFORN/WN INTEL)
During
the
ensuing
discussion
COL
Hollander
stated
that
the
DSD,
on
the
recommendation
of
the
USDRE
,
bad
approved
psychoenerget. ic
R&D
within
DoD,
and
had
signed
a
"charter"
that
designated
the
Program
Manager
(PM)
for
psychoenerget ic
R&D.
The
thrust
of
this
R&D
program
is
an examination
and
validation
of
the
phenomena.
The
USDRE position
on
the
intelligence application
of
psychoenergetics
is
one
of encouragement
as
long
as
it
is
compatible
with
the
USDRE
R&D
program.
The
two
programs
should
and
could
work
in
harmony
to
ensure
that
they
benefit
from
each
other
.

The
meeting
adjourned
at
1135
hours
with
an
agreement
between DIA
and
OSD officials
