operational control of DIA or the Intelligence Community psychoenergetic
capability will cease to exist. The transfer of ICLP to DIA OPCON must
be done in such a way as to maintain continuity and momentum of effort,
as well as state-of-the-art expertise.
4. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) SCOPE. 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.

c. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Equipment. All ICLP equipment, rental
agreements, and on hand supplies will remain INSCOM property during the
OPCON period.
d. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Facilities. The ICLP will remain at Ft.
George G. Meade, MD during the OPCON period.
e. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Funding. Funding for all project-related
training and operations is the responsibility of DIA. Funding for
personnel, administrative functions and Army career development training
remains the responsibility of INSCOM.
f. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Security. CENTER LANE will be discontinued
as a Secretary of the Army-directed Special Access Program (SAP) and the
nickname CENTER LANE will be deactivated upon initiation of OPCON
status. Responsibility for project security passes to DIA on the
effective date of OPCON.
g. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Administration. During OPCON period, all
ICLP military personnel will remain assigned to INSCOM for rations,
quarters, administration (personnel, finance, and medical records) and
UCMJ. Civilian personnel will continue to be supported by their current
civilian personnel office.

appropriate, update CG, INSCOM concerning current developments relating
to the program and the involved INSCOM assets.
