BACKGROUND.
USAINSCOM has
invested
considerable
effort
and
resources
since
1977
to
develop
an
operational
psychoenergetic
capability.
Intelligence
consumers
in
the
US
Army
US
Air
Force,
DIA,
NSA,
CIA,
and
NSC
have
all
tasked
this
capability
’ to
augment
other
intelligence
systems.
These
agencies
have
recognized
the
value
and
potential
of
the
intelligence
application
of
psychoenergetics;
it
they
will
continue
to
task
the
system.
Since
INSCOM
has
disestablished
CENTER

• ORIGIN
OF ACTION :
CG,
INSCCM
decision
to
transfer
operational
control of INSCCM CENTER LANE Project
(ICLP)
to Defense
Intelligence Agency
(Blue TAB
A)
.
(U) DISCUSSION
:
a.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
On
11 December
1984,
CG INSCCM approved
a proposal
that would
allow transfer of operational control of ICLP to DIA as an alternative
to
the original
plan for total transfer of
ICLP
to DIA.
This
proposal alters
the original concept of
immediate
transfer
of
ICLP,
and
therefore
it
was
necessary
to
revise
the
original
Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA)
.
At Blue TAB B
is the new version,
with wording changes
reflecting
the
change
in
concept.
At
Blue
TAB C
is
the old
version,
included
for
purposes of comparison.
b.
(C/NOFORN)
The new PDA
has been
informally
coordinated
with
GDIP
and
DIA
representatives who are cognizant of action.
c.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
The
proposed MOA
will
transfer
OPCON
of
all
personnel
currently assigned
to
ICLP
to
DIA,
and makes
provision
for
further
negotiations
and
action
to
facilitate
the
total
transfer
of
ICLP
to
DIA.
Attachment
orders
were
originally considered
as
a vehicle
for
transferring operational
control
of
personnel
to DIA.
However,
it
was
determined
that
such
an
action would
detract
from OPSEC.

(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Recommend
that after review and approval by

the
MOA be

approval.
At

is
a
transmittal
letter
for
the MOA.
Upon
return
of
the MOA from
the ACSI,
it will be
forwarded
to DIA for their
formal review and approval.
Anticipated effective date
for
attachment of ICLP to DIA
is
15 February 1985.
e.
(S/NOFORN)
Concurrent with the effective date of the 0PC0N action,
CG,
INSCCM
will be required
to notify
the ACSI
that
the
ICLP special access
program
(SAP)
has
been
deactivated.
This
notification
will
include
a
request
for
OACSI
to
take
necessary action to disestablish the
SAP.
At Blue TAB E
is
a
letter
for CG signature
to
satisfy
this
requirement.
Recommend
that
CG
approve
and
sign
the
letter,
and
authorize the ICLP manger
to deliver
it
to OACSI on the effective date of the OPCON.
(U)
WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH
:
a.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Satisfy
requirement
to
terminate
INSCCM

in

.
b.
(S/CL-2/NOFORN)
Permit
the

to
continue
to
use
psychoenergetics as an intelligence collection tool.
c.
(S/CL-2/N0FORN)
Establish the framework for total transfer of ICLP to DIA
for
FY 86.

2/N0F0RN)
1.
( S/CL- 3/N0F0RN)
Continual
discussions
with
DIA management
now
indicate
that
the
transfer
of
I CLP activities
to
DIA
is
not
likely
to
take
place
by
December
1984.
DIA
has
agreed
to
accept
total
responsibility
for
the psychoenergetic
applications
and research program.
However,
current
Congressional
prohibitions against
the
use
of NFIP resources
in
such
a program
and
the
critical
absence
of
non -NFIP
resources
at
DIA
have
not
allowed
DIA
resource
managers
to
identify
personnel
spaces
in
which
to
transfer
the
nine
personnel
currently
assigned
to
I CLP.
These managers,
therefore,
have taken
the
position
that
a
detailing
action
is necessary
if
the
transfer
of
ICLP
functions
is
to
take place.
A detailing action would permit
DIA
to manage
and
operate
the
program without
using PIP
resources
since
ICLP
personnel
are
in non-NFIP
spaces.
Use
of non-NFIP
resources
is
an
interim measure
that
will
be
resolved
when
Congress
approves
the
DIA
FY
86-90
GDIP
initiative
for
a .CENTER
LANE
follow-on.
DIA has
already
submitted
the
initiative,
but
Congress
will
not
review
and rule
on
it
until
at
least
summer
1985.
When
Congress
approves
the
initiative,
the
GDIP
supported
psychoenergetic
program can
be
implemented during
the
first quarter
FY
86.

( S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
My
assessment
of
the
situation
concludes
that
a detailing action
is
in
the best
interests
ofc
the
progiam,
INSCOM,
and
personnel
currently
assigned
to
ICLP.
Detailing
would
permit
an
earlv
resumption
of collection
activities,
the
continuation
of
training,
and
the
assumption
of
responsibility
by
DIA
for
management
of
the
DoD
psychoener get ic
program.
Should
Congress
react
negatively
to
the
GDIP
initiative,
the.
personnel
involved
in
the detailing process,
together
with
their
varied
skills
and considerable
experience,
would' not
be
lost
^to
INSCOM and could be
reassigned
to contribute positively
in
otner
areas
of
the
command.
t n i s
!
r.
90 2d

(S/CL -3 /NOFORN)
The
one
drawback
for
INSCOM
is
the
problem
of
"tying
up"
spaces
occupied
by
the
nine
personnel
currently
assigned
to" ICLP.
Recent
actions,
however,
may
ameliorate
situation.
First
of
these
is
the
scheduled
January ^198
authorization
of
three
personnel
on
the
Security
Systems
Planning Division
(SSPD),
MI
Battalion
(Security )
,
(the
CENTER
LANE
cover
organization)
nine
person
IDA
organization.
This
will
allow
three
of
the
current
"out-of-hide"
personnel
to
be
slotted
against
valid
positions.
Second,
one
of
the
individuals
involved
is
scheduled
to
PCS
in
July
1985,
after
completion
of
a Tour
year
tour
with. CENIEK
LANE.
The
personnel
management
system
allows
requisitioning
and
manning
against
the
position
he
now
occupies
as
much
as
six
months
in
advance,
that
is
in
January
1985,
Third,
one
of
the
enlisted
personnel
currently
assigned
is
due
to,
and
probably
will,
ETS
in
July
1985.
While
these
personnel
will
eventually
be
replaced,
once
the
activity
, is
transferred
to
DIA,.
no
renlacements
for
these
two
individuals
have
been
identified
and
there are
no plans
to
fill
these projected vacancies with
INSCOM
assets.
Fourth,
one
individual
assigned
to
SSPD
falls
under
the
auspices
of
the
GREAT
SKILLS program.
He will
be maintained
on
nc
roster,
and
therefore
always
be
an
INSCOM asset.
Finally,
