FACTS
:
1.
( S/CL3/ NOFORM)
USAINSCOM became
involved
in
the
intelligence
application
of psychoenergetics
in
1977.
In
1981,
INSCOM participated
in a
joint
services
program with DIA
to
explore
phenomenon known
as
remote
viewing —
a procedure
by which a person
is asked
to mentally perceive characteristics
of
a remote lo-
cation.
2.
(S/CL3/N0F0RN)
Under Procedure
18,
DOD Directive
5240. 1R,
approval by
the
Secretary or Deputy Secretary of Defense was
required
if
the procedure
"may ex-
pose an individual
to
the possibility
of
injury (including physical,
psycholog-
ical,
or
social injury)
that increases
the ordinary
risks
of daily life
for
the
subject ... or
that
temporarily adversely affects
a person's mental
or physi-
cal condition."
3.
(S/CL3/N0F0RN)
Legal
review by
the DA General Counsel
determined
that
the
program
constituted
human
experimentation
as
defined
by Procedure
and
that
the
potential
benefits
justified
the
risks
of
harm
to
the
participants.
The
DOD
General
Counsel
reviewed
and
approved
the
0GC,
DA
legal
opinion
on
November
1981.
4.
(S/CL3/N0F0RN)
INSCOM dropped
out
of
the
joint services program on 30 Sep-
tember
1982
after
a Congressional
directive
dictated
that
the
program did
not
belong
under
the
NFIP.
INSCOM obtained
approval
to
continue
its
efforts
in
psychoenergetics
after
that
under
CENTER
LANE
program which
was
funded
with
S&IA monies
.
5.
(S/CL3/N0F0RM)
The CENTER LANE
program
is
annually reviewed
and
approved
by
the
Secretary
of
the
Army
pursuant
to
Procedure
(currently Procedure
of DOD
Directive
5240. 1R)
and AR 381—10.

that

Program
(RAPT)
be
implemented
as
a
screening
and
"sensitizing" program
in

Based
on
the CG’s
directive,
the
CENTER LANE
Project
Manager
prepared
a Letter
of
Instruction
to
integrate
RAPT training
into
the
CENTER
LANE
program.
As
is
the
case
for
the
initial
program,
the human use
standards
of
the DOD Directive
5240. 1R and
45 CFR 46 are
followed.
All
contracts
in
support
of
CENTER
LANE
training
incorporate
U.S.
Government
"human
use"
procedures
by
reference.
All
USAINSCOM
personnel
who
attend
RAPT
sign
a
voluntary
informed
consent
form
prior
to
initiation
of
training.
RAPT training
is
funded by CENTEX,
HQ USAINSCOM,
Arlington Hall Sta-
tion,
Arlington,
Virginia
from
S&IA
funds.
The

the
Army
