Purpose

2.
(U)
Discussion:
a.
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
CENTER LANE
is an
INS COM Special Access
Program which utilizes an aspect of parapsychology known as
Remote Viewing
(RV)
as
the collection method
for obtaining
in-
formation of intelligence
interest.
Your approval
for
the Army
to engage
in
CENTER LANE activities was most recently obtained on
1 Sep 83.
b.
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
CDR
INS COM has reviewed
the project and
reached
the decision
to discontinue
the command's involvement
with psycho energetic
research and
operations.*. Recognizing
that
INSCOM has invested considerable effort over a long period of
time
to develop
the
RV technology and holds a monopoly on
this
revolutionary concept
for
intelligence collection, he desires
that we not lose
this knowledge and
experience.
c.
(U)
As
such,
INS COM intends
to do
the following:
(1)
(S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
Cease CENTER LANE operations on 30
Sep 84,
but allow contracts
and
training
to continue
to
Dec
84«
(2)
(S/ CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Transfer project operational
aspects
to DIA and
technology extension
to
the
US Army Medical
Research
and Development
Command
•
In
the event DIA
is not
interested
in
the
transfer, NSA will be considered.
