The
US
Government,
to
include
the
Department
of
Defense,
has
BEEN
INVOLVED
IN
EXAMINING
POTENTIAL
USES
OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS
SINCE
THE
EARLY
1970'S.
ACTIVITIES
INCLUDED
THE
APPLICATION
OF
Remote Viewing
as
an
intelligence
gathering
tool
by
the
Central
Intelligence Agency,
threat analysis
by
the
Defense
Intelligence
Agency,
and

and

by

LET'S NOW LOOK
INTO
INSCOM'S
EFFORTS.

The

Security
Command
s
INVOLVEMENT
WITH
PSYCHOENERGETICS
BEGAN
IN
SEPTEMBER
1977.
AT
THAT
TIME,
AN
INSCGM
ELEMENT
IMPLEMENTED
THE
GONDOLA
WISH
PROGRAM
WHICH
WAS
DESIGNED
TO
INTEGRATE
THE
SOVIET
AND
EAST
European psychoenergetic
intelligence collection
threat
into
the
ALL-SOURCE
OPERATIONS SECURITY
(OPSEC)
SUPPORT SCENARIO.
By
Spring
of
1978,
the
Army
ACSI
concluded
there
was
sufficient
EVIDENCE
TO
WARRANT
THE
DEVELOPMENT
OF
A
COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAM
TO
EXPLORE
MILITARY
APPLICATIONS
OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS.
HE
CANCELLED
THE
GONDOLA
WISH
EFFORT ,
PLACED
A
COMPLETE
SECURITY
ENVELOPE
OVER
ARMY'S
INTEREST
IN
PSYCHOENERGETICS,
AND
IMPLEMENTED
A
NEW
PROGRAM
DIRECTED
TOWARDS
INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION
USING
REMOTE
VIEWING.
THE
NEW
EFFORT
WAS
GIVEN
THE
UNCLASSIFIED NICKNAME GRILL
FLAME.
IN
OCTOBER
1978,
ACSI
TASKED
1NSC0M
TO
ESTABLISH
A
PROGRAM
USING
PSYCHOENERGETICS
FOR
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS UTILIZING REMOTE VIEWING.

THE
ACQUISITION
AND
DESCRIPTION.
BY
MENTAL
MEANS ,
OF
INFORMATION
BLOCKED
FROM
ORDINARY
PERCEPTION
BY
DISTANCE,
SHIELDING,
OR
TIME.
BY
SPRING
1979,
PROJECT
PERSONNEL
HAD
BEEN
SELECTED
AND
TRAINING
INITIATED.
IN
MARCH
1980,
THE
UNDER
Secretary
of
Defense
for
Research
and
Engineering,
William
Perry,
ordered
curtailment
of
all
Program
monies
supporting
psychoenergetic
R&D
efforts,
but
posed
mo
objection
to
the
continuance
of
INSCOM's
non
Research
and
Development
intelligence applications
efforts.
This action caused DARCOM to
cease
all
activity
at
the
end
of
FY
80.
In
1981,
the
ACS I
transferred
total
management
responsibility
for
the
project
to
1NSC0M.
Also
in
1981,
a
Joint
Services
GRILL
FLAME
Committee,
consisting
of
DIA,
the
Air
Force
and Army was
formed.
The
Navy
expressed
no
interest
in
participating
in
any
discussions,
and
later
the
Air
Force
Chief
of
Staff
directed
that
the
Air
Force
withdraw
from
the
committee
and
all
psychoenergetic
programs.
This
joint
services
was
formed
to
implement
a
3-year
comprehensive
program
designed
to
determine
the
operational
parameters
and
usefulness
of
psychoenergetics,
and
assess
the
threat
these
phenomena
posed
to
national
security,
within
this
joint
services
program,
the
roles
of
DlA
. and
Army
were
distinct
.
DIA was R&D oriented and
INSCOM's
GRILL
FLAME
Project
was to use Remote Viewing
as
an
operational
technique
to collect
intelligence and to determine
if
Remote
Viewing could
be
learned
BY PROFESSIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
PERSONNEL
WHO WERE
NOT
"ESTABLISHED
PSYCHICS."
INSCOM
PARTICIPATED
IN
THIS
JOINT
SERVICES
EFFORT

UNTIL
THE

WHEN
THE
BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE
OF
THE
5ENATE
SELECT
COMMITTEE
ON
INTELLIGENCE
(SENATOR
WALLOP)
CURTAILED
ALL
PSYCHOENERGET I C
OPERATIONAL
ACTIVITIES
CONDUCTED
by
the
Army
in
the
National
Foreign
Intelligence
Program
(NFIP)
.
The congressional conferees
agreed,
however,
to let
DIA
COMPLETE
THE THIRD YEAR
OF
THEIR
EFFORT AND DIRECTED THAT
FUTURE
FUNDING —
IF
ANY —
OF
THIS
PSYCHOENERGETIC
ACTIVITY
BE
BUDGETED OUTSIDE
THE
NFIP.
So
IN
THE
FALL
OF
1982,
IN KEEPING
WITH
THESE
CONGRESSIONAL
DESIRES
AND
WISHING
TO
MAINTAIN
THE
MOMENTUM
OF
EFFORT
ALREADY
ESTABLISHED,
THE
CG,
INSCGM
DECIDED
TO CONTINUE
INSCOM'S
PROJECT
AND
PROVIDE
FUNDING
WITH
SECURITY
and
Investigative
Activities
(S&IA)
monies.
INSCOM
terminated
formal
involvement
WITH
GRILL
FLAME
at
the
end
of
FY
82,
and
CONTINUED
ITS EFFORTS
UNDER
A
PROVISIONAL
SPECIAL
ACCESS
PROGRAM
NICKNAMED CENTER
LANE.
Next
I
want
to
provide
you
with
an
over
view
of
INSCOM's
OPERATIONAL
EFFORTS
OVER
THE
PAST
FIVE
YEARS.
( CHART
ON )
During
1979,
we
conducted
operational
missions,
of
which
WERE
DEDICATED
TO
ASSISTING
THE
INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY
DURING
the
Iranian
Hostage
Crisis.
During
1980,
after
we
acquired
OPERATIONAL
EXPERIENCE ,
OUR
OWN
SEPARATE
FACILITIES,
AND
INCREASED MANPOWER
,
WE
WERE
ABLE
TO
I NCREASE
OUR
PRODUCTION
TO
386
OPERATIONAL
MISSIONS,
154
OF
WHICH
WERE
STILL
DEDICATED
TO
Iran.
Personnel
losses
resulted
in
a
sharp
decline
of
OPERATIONAL MISSIONS,
A SITUATION THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.

OVERALL/
IN
THE
PAST
FIVE
YEARS
WE
HAVE CONDUCTED MORE
THAN
700
OPERATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION
MISSIONS.
A
CONSIDERABLE
PORTION
OF
THESE
(OVER
200)
WERE
IN
SUPPORT
OF
THE
IRAN
SITUATION,
WHICH
THE
JOINT
CHIEFS
OF
STAFF
RATED
AS
BEING
QUALITATIVELY
EQUAL
TO
THOSE
OF
OTHER
INTELLIGENCE
SOURCES
AVAILABLE
TO
THEM.
Because
of
the
turmoil
that
historically
has
been
associated
WITH THE
PROJECT,
WE
HAVE
NOT HAD
A
STABLE
PERSONNEL
SITUATION,
(CHARI
CHANGE)
In
1979,
C6
I NSCOM
formed
a
Task
Force
CONSISTING
OF
PERSONNEL:
A
PROJECT
MANAGER,
AN
OPERATIONS/TRAINING
OFFICER ,
A
SECRETARY,
AND
TWO
SOURCES
(RVERS)
.
IN
1980,
TWO
ADDITIONAL
OPERATIONAL
PERSONNEL
WERE
ASSIGNED
.
BY
1981,
WE
WERE
READY
TO
EXPAND AND RECRUITED
NEW
PERSONNEL
FOR
TRAINING
IN
THE
PROJECT
.
BUT
BY
THE
END
OF
1981,
PCS MOVES
SEVERELY
HAMPERED
OUR
OPERATIONAL
CAPABILITY.
HAVING
BEEN DENIED

THEREFORE,
A IDA UNDER

BY
CONGRESSIONAL
ACTION,
CG,
INSCQM
HAS
PROVIDED
OUT-OF-HIDE

IN

OF

SINCE
THE
LOSS
OF
THIS FUNDING AT THE

THE

WAS
POSTPONED
IN

(29

AND
NOW
ACSI
DOES
NOT
ANTICIPATE

THEREFORE,
CENTER LANE WILL
CONTINUE
TO OPERATE

a Task Force without

Our current full-time

WITH

THE

and
the
ACSI
has
made
arrangements
to
use
these

This
will
enable
US
TO
expand
our
efforts
into
areas
which
have
been
neglected
over
the
years
due
to
lack
of

INTO

Ihis
new Mission Statement expands
our effort
a
great deal,
We
ARE
NO
LONGER
CONFINED
TO
REMOTE

AS
OUR
PRINCIPAL
TOOL
AND WILL
NOW DEVELOP AND
USE
TELEPATHIC AND PSYCHOK INETIC SKILLS.
AN
IMPORTANT APPLICATION
OF
OUR
NEW
MISSION
STATEMENT
WILL
BE
THE DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTERMEASURE CAPABILITIES.
The
INVESTIGATION
OF
PSYCHOENERGETIC
countermeasures
has
lagged
BEHIND
OTHER
EFFORTS
FOR
ONE
MAIN
REASON.
DEVELOPMENT
OF
EFFECTIVE
COUNTERMEASURES REQUIRES
A
BASIC
UNDERSTANDING
OF
THE
UNDERLYING MECHANISMS
INVOLVED
IN PSYCHOENERGETIC
PROCESSES /
AND
SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH
INTO
THESE
AREAS
HAS
NEVER
BEEN
ADEQUATELY
SUPPORTED
BY
A

BASE
,
NOW
THAT

HAS
BEEN
AUTHORIZED,
WE
ANTICIPATE
THAT
A
MULTI-YEAR,
ADEQUATELY
FUNDED
BASIC
RESEARCH
PROGRAM
CAN
BE
DEVELOPED
TO
INVESTIGATE
THE
ACTUAL
MECHANISM
BEHIND
PSYCHOENERGETIC
FUNCTIONING.
IT
IS
OUR
UNDERSTANDING
THAT
DIA
IS WORKING
ON
A 10~YEAR ,
$11 MILLION
PROPOSAL
AT
THIS
TIME.
THE
LOGICAL
FALLOUT
FROM
SUCH

We
are

A
NEW

TRAINING METHOD
WHICH
WOULD

TO ACCESS TARGET SITES
BY ABSTRACT CUING WITHOUT

We
ARE
EXPANDING
OUR

to

the
demands
of
our

This
expansion
of
Advanced

will

the
USE
OF

TO
