FACTS: 1. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Ultimate approval for the conduct of CENTER LANE activities within INSCOM rests with the Secretary of the Army. The Army General Counsel determined that the intelligence application of psychoenergetics constitutes human experimenta- tion and, therefore, falls under the provisions of DoD Directive 9240.1-R. This paper will provide a summary of approval history of INSCOM's use of psychoenergetics to include DA Staff and human use procedures approval. 2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) In May 1978, the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI), Department of the Army (DA) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL FLAME activities within the DA. Effective 14 January 1981, by approval of the Under Secretary of the Army, INSCOM became the only active operational GRILL FLAME element in the Army. Program management for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander, INSCOM effective 11 February 1981, while OACSI, DAMI-ISH was designated the focal point for policy matters and interface at the national level. INSCOM's intelligence applications of psychoenergetics were conducted under the GRILL FLAME Program until 30 September 1982 when Congress directed that DoD psychoenergetic activities could not be conducted within the NFIP. With the approval and knowledge of OACSI, CG, INSCOM decided to continue the command's WARNING NOTICE: CENTER LANE SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM RESTRICT DISSEMINATION TO THOSE WITH VERIFIED ACCESS TO CATEGORY THREE (3) SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS CLASSIFIED BY: CDR, INSCOM DECLASSIFY ON: OADR Approved For Release 2008/06/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700280006-9 TRB peers:

The effective implementation date of CENTER LANE was 3 December 1982. Overall responsibility for psychoenergetic activities within DoD resided with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 1978 until 30 September 1982. DIA currently maintains an interest in the intelligence application of psychoenergetics. DIA has USDRE approval for the use of P-6 funds to continue psychoenergetic R&D efforts. Obligation to spend these funds is pending OACSI approval to allow them to be administered by the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project Manager. 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Human use has been an issue associated with CENTER LANE/GRILL FLAME activities since the program's inception. OACSI and DIA addressed the human use issue because the initial program management rested with OACSI and because DIA had overall DoD responsibility for the program. The following are key dates pertaining to human use issues: a. 15 Feb 79 - Army General Counsel advised Project GRILL FLAME could be classified as one involving testing on human Subjects. b. 2 Apr 79 - The Surgeon General's Human Subjects Research Review Board (HSRRB) determined that remote viewing protocols were technology transfer and phenomenology validation of the technology transfer rather than research or clinical investigation. c. 11 Jan 80 - HSRRB determined that remote viewing efforts Gid involve human experimentation, and that human use procedures and directives had to be followed. INSCOM complied with HSRRB recommendations. dad. 14 Jan 81 - Under Secretary of the Arny approved continuation of GRILL FLAME activities UP Section 4, Procedure 18, DoD Directive 5240.1-R. Approval required because Army General Counsel determined that GRILL FLAME activities constituted experimentation on human subjects. e. 17 Jul 81 - Army General Counsel recommended OACSI submit, at the beginning of each year for secretariat level review and approval, an inventory of all planned Army GRILL FLAME activity for the coming year. f£. 1 Feb 82 - Secretary of the Army approved continued Army participation in GRILL FLAME activities within INSCOM.

PACTS: 1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The total cost for INSCOMs use of psychoenergetics for intelligence purposes, less personnel salaries for FYs 1979 through 1983 was $703K. In 1979, the total cost to INSCOM was $87K, $75K of which went to SRi-International for orientation training. In 1980, INSCOM's costs for the project were only $42K and there were no external contracts. In 1981, funding levels were increased to permit INSCOM to participate in the Joint Services GRILL FLAME Program with DIA. Of the $201K spent in 1981, $190K went to external contracts with SRI-International in support of the Joint Services Program. 1982 was the second and last year of INSCOM's support to the Joint Services Program due to congressional restrictions placed on the use of NFIP funds. Of the total $245K costs for 1982, $128K was spent in support of this joint Services effort and $99K spent on word processing equipment. The 6128K FY 1983 budget saw the beginning of the new coordinate remote viewing training at SRI-International at a cost of #36K, expansion of advanced training under a consultant services agreement with Mr. Robert Monroe of the monroe Institute of Applied Sciences, Faber, Virginia at a cost of $24.4K and the expenditure of $40K for additional word processing equipment.

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) In FY 84 CENTER LANE received $496.5K in P-6 funds through the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Research, Development and Acquisition) and $235K INSCOM S&IA funds to continue the project's efforts. The P-6 funds are being used in these areas: a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Purchase of biomonitoring equipment to be used to determine physiological changes during the conduct of psychoenergetic tasks. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN ) Development of a state-of-the-art psychological screening/selection profile for use in identifying potential sources. Such a profile would identify personnel who may have some psychoenergetic talent or who could be trained to perform psychoenergetic functions. The profile will be used to assist in the recruitment of new sources. c. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Determine the countermeasures potential of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic radiation. This effort will examine the possibility that certain as yet unidentified ELF radiations have a detrimental effect on mental states critical to psychoenergetic performance. This study may also provide information on ELF environments conducive to optimum psychoenergetic performance. The logical follow-on to this effort would be the development of local counter-countermeasures environments for CENTER LANE sources. d. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Development of a new psychoenergetic technique for use in “search problems." Over the years sponsor agencies have asked for assistance in locating lost or mission equipment or personnel. Because this is not a conventional remote viewing task, we have had little success at providing timely usable intelligence in these cases. That's not to say that information we provided was inaccurate, just that it was not directly usable to resolve the intelligence problem at hand. If in fact a new psychoenergetic “search problem" technique is developed, we would anticipate that source personnel will be trained in this technique because "search problems" continue to be priority tasks received by this office. a, (S/CL-3/NOFORN ) Continuation of coordinate remote viewing training at enhanced levels for one source. £.

(S/NOFORN) In June 1979, Dr. LaBerge, then Under Secretary of the Army, suggested that a Scientific Evaluation Committee be appointed to review the Army's parapsychological activities. In early July 1979, Dr. Ruth Davis recommended that because of the special interest of the Secretary of Defense, that the Committee review the total DoD posture. The mission of the Committee, known as the "GRILL FLAME Scientific Evaluation Committee" was as follows: a. To review the parapsychological yesearch, investigations, and applications within DoD and the intelligence community. b. To assess the validity of claims made for the alleged existence of the PSI phenomena; with particular emphasis on the experiments which were instituted to approach the "proof of principle." Cc. To recommend a course of action for DoD in future parapsychological activities.

Among the recommendations made by the Committee was the following: "Operationally-oriented RV activities aimed at determining the empirical value of RV to intelligence should continue." 2. (S/NOFORN) On 23 August 1982, Rep. Edward P. Boland, Chairman, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), requested that a comprehensive report be prepared documenting the results of the DoD three year GRILL FLAME project and that it be submitted to the HPSCI not later than 15 October 1983. In response to this request, the Director, Scientific and Technical Intelligence, DIA, assembled an independent Scientific Evaluation Team. The Team was to produce a report that would: a. Discuss the methodology and findings of the research effort to include all relevant statistical analyses on remote viewing trial applications. b. Address appropriate recommendations for future research or operational applications of parapsychological phenomena. INSCOM has not received a final copy of the report, but did receive a copy of the final draft of the report. Although the Scientific Evaluation Team did not examine INSCOM'S operational program, the following extracts from their recommendations seem appropriate: "The evidence shown to us is too impressive to dismiss as mere coincidence. Certain similarities between the SRI and Princeton results, obtained in very aifferent circumstances by unrelated investigators, are particularly compelling." "Exploration of the phenomenon should not be restricted to specific applications." "It is our conclusion that Dr. Puthoff's team (SRI International) warrants cautious continued fiscal support." 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The Defense Intelligence Agency published the results of their three year, $1.5 million psychoenergetic research effort on 19 October 1983. Significant is the recommendations that INSCOM'S unit that utilizes remote viewing to respond to operational requirements continue operations.

(U) To provide the DAS with a history of CENTER LANE personnel selection procedures. FACTS: 1. (S$/CL-3/NOFORN ) In December 1978 and January 1979, 251 INSCOM personnel in the greater Baltimore/Washington, D.C. area were considered for participation in the INSCOM GRILL FLAME Project (IGFP). These 251 individuals were experienced in the intelligence disciplines of SIGINT, PHOTINT and HUMINT and represented more than 8 units/organizations within INSCOM. O€ the 251 individuals considered, 117 were interviewed by IGFP management personnel under the guise of a "survey" to determine attitudes about the possible use of psychoenergetic phenomena (parapsychology) in the intelligence field. The large difference between number considered and number actually interviewed was gue to the following elimination factors applied by IGFP personnel: a. Commander's evaluation b. Retainability - at least 20 months c. Health ad. Not readily available (programmed TDY, schools, etc.) WARNING NOTICE: CENTER LANE SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM RESTRICT DISSEMINATION TO THOSE WITH VERIFIED ACCESS TO CATEGORY THREE (3) SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS CLASSIFIED BY: CDR, INSCOM DECLASSIFY ON: OADR caper Approved For Release 2008/06/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700280006-9

These characteristics were provided by Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International, Menlo Park, CA. SRI- International personnel stated essentially that no definite profile had been established, but that their experience showed that successful subjects (remote viewers) normally possess some of these characteristics. During the interview phase of the selection process consideration was also given to individuals who related their own previous psychoenergetic experiences. Individuals who had objections to the military use of psychoenergetics were not considered for final selection for the IGFP. Additionally, individuals who displayed an unreasonable enthusiasm for psychoenergetics, occult fanatics and mystical zealots were not considered for final selection. Of the 117 individuals interviewed, 1 refused to talk about psycho- energetics at all, 3 thought that most of what they had heard was nonsense or trickery, 3 were opposed to the investigation of psychic phenomena on religious grounds, and 110 had favorable ‘opinions towards psychoenergetics and the possible use of psychic phenomena in the military. With 94% of the people interviewed showing favorable attitudes for the IGFP, it was obvious that further screening was necessary to reduce this number to a manageable amount. IGFP screened the interviewees to ensure equal participation across the intelligence fields of SIGINT, PHOTINT and HUMINi, and after an extensive review of the interviews, 15 individuals were selected as prime candidates. However, it was the opinion of IGFP personnel that approximately 30-35 individuals possessed the requisite potentials desired for the IGFP. 2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN ) In early 1980, IGFP participants were tested by the INSCOM Command Psychologist in an attempt to determine a suitable profile by which further participants could be identified. The tests administered were: a. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory b. Gordon Personal Profile Inventory c. Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (F IRO-B) ad.

Personal Orientation Inventary For the most part, the group was emotionally stable with no marked trends. There did appear to be an interesting similarity in defensive style, a tending toward artistic, aesthetic, cultural interests, and an introversive style of emotional expression. From these test results, the Command Psychologist constructed a test known as the "INSCOM Factor Questionnaire" to be used with the Myers-Briggs type indicator and the 16 PF as initial screening tools in the selection of new project participants. Individuals who scored within parameters specified by the Command Psychologist then received personal interviews with the project management personnel. From those interviews and testing procedures, new project participants were selected. This selection process was implemented in mid 1980 and is in effect today. 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) When the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering authorized the use of P-6 resources in 1983 to continue INSCOM capabilities in psychoenergetics, the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) Manager solicited a proposal from SRI-International for the development of a state-of-the-art psychological screening/selection profile for use in identifying potential sources. The profile will identify personnel who may have some psychoener- getic talent or who could be trained to perform psychoenergetic functions. The ICLP Manager awarded a contract to SRI-Inter- national for development of the profile on 15 November 1983. SRi-Iriternational will complete work on the profile by December 1984, 4.  (S/CL-3/NOFORN) On 10 November 1983, CG, INSCOM authorized use of the Rapid Acquisition Personnel Training (RAPT) Seminar at Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences, Faber, Virginia as a screening and sensitizing tool for ICLP. For OPSEC reasons, RAPT is funded and administered by INSCOM CENTEX, but managed by the ICLP Manager. LTC Buzby/AVN 923-2656 Approved For Release 2008/06/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700280006-9
