(U) DISCUSSION: a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) On ll December 1984, CG INSCOM 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 (TAB A). This proposal alters the original concept of immediate transfer of ICLP, and therefore it is necessary to notify the ACSI of the CG's decision to place ICLP OPCON to DIA. The letter at TAB B notifies the ACSI of the change in status. (U) WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH: a. Provide notification to ACSI of current status of CENTER LANE disposition issue.

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Continual discussions with DIA management now indicate that the transfer of ICLP activities to DIA is not likely to take place by 31 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 ICLP. 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 NFIP 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. 2, (S/CL-3/NOFORN) For the above reasons on 3 December 1984, Dr. Jack Vorona, Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific and Technical Intelligence, DIA, directed the preparation of a decision paper for the Director, DIA that would support a DIA position to recommend detailing of ICLP personnel rather than a CENTER LANE eeSTRICT pISSPSENAETESN 10 WgSk wdliib Vendklbp ACCros SEXSITEVe ENTELL Gb sth SOURCES ANE MELdaps INVOLVE.

The paper would also suggest that LTG Williams contact MG Soyster to discuss the issue. The decision paper is scheduled to be submitted to LTG Williams on 7 December 1984. 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) My assessment of the situation concludes that a detailing action is in the best interests of the program, INSCOM, and personnel currently assigned to ICLP. Detailing would permit an early resumption of collection activities, the continuation of training, and the assumption of responsibility by DIA for management of the DoD psychoenergetic 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 other areas of the command. 4, (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The one drawback for INSCOM is the problem of "tying up" spaces occupied by the nine personnel currently assignea to ICLP. Recent actions, however, may amelicrate this Situation. First of these is the scheduled 1 January 1985 agutnorization of threc personnel on the Security Systems Planning Division (SSPD), MI Battalion (Security), 902d MI Group (the CENTER LANE cover organization) nine person TDA 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 four year tour with CENTER 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 renlaced, once the activity is transferred to DIA, no replacements 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 ASD's roster, and therefore always be an INSCOM asset. Finally, the two civilian employes: e yermanent overhire,'' and present no net toss to INSCOM Pur CUL a eens Of the nine personnel assigned, therefore, eight may be "provided for," leaving only one position that would have to be "gapped'"' and one ASD space. 5. (S/CL-3/NOPORN) <A decision to detail INSCOM personnel to DIA will have a funding impact. The following funding requirements must be provided for in a detailing situation. a. (U) Civilian salaries: Salaries for one GS-12 and one GS-5 for 2na, 3rd, and 4th qtrs FY 85: $40,000. Approved For Release “OEE R ~ia d P96-00788R001500090019-8
