(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) PURPOSE. This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) places the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) psychoenergetic intelligence collectidn capability (CENTER LANE) under the operational control (OPCON) of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The OPCON action will attach all INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) personnel, documents, equipment, and office space to DIA to form the nucleus of a prototype operational group that will conduct psychoenergetic intelligence activities for the U.S. Intelligence Community. This course of action is an interim measure until Congressional approval is obtained for GDIP billets for DIA for the ICLP. 2. (U) REFERENCES. a.

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 is likely they will continue to task the system.

The transfer of Operational control of ICLP to DIA affects DA (ACSI), INSCOM, and DIA. 5. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) AGREEMENTS, SUPPORT, AND RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS. ICLP has been an active intelligence collection unit since 1978, and it is therefore intended that it will continue as an operational element under the operational control of the appropriate organizational element of DIA. Defense Intelligence Agency accepts the entire responsibility for mission-related training, mode of employment, applicable requirements of the "human use"! issue, and the operation and security of the former ICLP and its assets for the OPCON period. The period of Operational control will be no longer’ than one calendar year from the implementation date of this MOA. If, by the end of this period, DIA is successful in obtaining requisite positions and funding allocated for continued psychoenergetic activity, INSCOM agrees to assign affected personnel and other project resources to DIA as will be deemed appropriate and mutually agreed upon. This assignment will be by a separate MOA. If the aforementioned funding and resources are not approved in the FY 86 General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) submission, ICLP will revert to USAINSCOM to be reassigned or utilized at the discretion of the CG, INSCOM. a. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Personnel. All ICLP Personnel will be encouraged to continue with the project as it devolves under DIA control. Direct participation in psychoenergetic activities by CENTER LANE personnel is strictly voluntary and falls under the guidelines of DoD Directive 5240.1-R, AR 381-10, and Code of Federal Regulation, Title 45, Part 46. The ICLP manager will ensure that ICLP operational personnel understand that they will be performing operational remote viewing in support of the DIA psychoenergetic program under the guidelines of established procedures outlined in reference 2e. b. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Documents. All documents maintained by ICLP will remain under INSCOM control until such a time as need dictates a separate agreement be concluded transferring pertinent documents to DIA. Upon the event of such a contingency, INSCOM will in any case be permitted to retain access to command and control and historical ICLP documents. Documents generated after transfer of OPCON to DIA are the property and responsibility of DIA, but may be administered by the project manager of the INSCOM element at DIA direction.

(S/CL-1 /NOFORN ) Purpose: To obtain your approywdl for 'the discontinuation of Intelligence and Security Comman (INS COM) involvement with psychoenergetic research and operations. 2. (U) Discussion: a. (S/CL~i/NOFORN) CENTER LANE is an INSCOM 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 INSCOM has reviewed the project and reached the decision to discontinue the command's involvement with psychoenergetic 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, INSCOM 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 31 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.
