(S/NF/ORCOQN) . The. HQDA/INSCOM, CENTER. LANE project consists of. 4. 4. - eleven people (8 military, 3 civilian) Jin. an- Army facility at. Ft. .G. Meade, ; oo Yo Me THe “PRO ject’ Was Cihit bated: “1977 -* to” “parse: ‘applications: ORE A ee ol psychoenergetics phenomenon (i.e., remote Viewing) (RV), and was subsequent] included in a 3-year joint effort between DIA and HQDA (project GRILL FLAME that formally evaluated the threat potential and the operational utility of Remote Viewing data. The INSCOM part of this joint effort became identified as--project - CENTER --LANE during .the -latter.-phase-of- the GRILL FLAME -evaluation period. Although GRILL FLAME was terminated in 1983, CENTER LANE continued to investigate RV applications with funding and spaces outside of the NeqP to comply. with,.Congressianal..Committee-directives at that time.. (S/NF) Formal recommendations from the 3-year GRILL FLAME project were submitted to Congressional Committees and to key intelligence and R/D personnel in October 1983. Main conclusions were: - Applied research in Remote Viewing should be continued; - Basic research in both Remote Viewing and psychokinesis should be initiated; - Applied effort should continue and should be centralized, with over-all central management provided by DIA. (S/NF) An independent science panel also reviewed GRILL FLAME and concluded that research in this area should be continued. The USDRE had previously (in 1983) recommended that in-depth research be conducted in this area. (S/NF/ORCON) In recent action, HQDA/INSCOM reviewed CENTER LANE and concluded that the project should be transferred, that the transfer should be «perf opmed., with. minimum . impact . Qn. ‘project»personne ly.and. that. continuity, OF petites “age effort should be maintained. This recommendation has received concurrence from -the Secretary - of. .the -Army:.and«from -HQDA/ACSI. DIA: .was. ‘considered. the fee LS tonetn most likely organization for this transfer due to their previous role in project ‘GRELL’-FLAME “and due to the current ‘pote ‘of. DIA/BT as Central -Manager = of all psychoenergetics effort in DoD and the Intelligence Community. DIA had previously received concurrence from congressional committees to provide central management for this area. Although a Congressional prohibtion against use of NFIP resources for psychoenergetics still exists (resulting from 1982 committee action), it is anticipated that this edict can be reversed during this fiscal year. The CENTER LANE personne?! would be assigned to non-NFIP slots for the interim period. - (S/NF/ORCON) A separate action now in progress involves implementing in- depth basic and applied research which will be funded by R/D resources. This new research will be reviewed and monitored by the DIA psychoenergetics Central. Manager, and will include research necessary for continuing the development of operational capabilities for CENTER LANE personnel once transfer is complete.

The transfer should take place with minimum disruption to group operations and to training programs now in development.
