a. Discussion between COL Kirk/LTC Buzby, 13 July 1984
b. Memorandum for ACSI, 17 July 1984, subject: INSCOM
CENTER LANE Project (U)
c. Discussions between COL Kirk/LTC Buzby, 20 July 1984
d. Discusison between COL Kirk/LTC Buzby, 31 July 1984
2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Based on the CG, USAINSCOM decision to
discontin1e INSCOM involvement with psychoenergetics research and
operations (references a and b), the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project
(ICLP) Officer initiated dialogue with DIA officials and the CG,
USAMRDC, on 20 July 1984 and 1 August 1984, respectively, (IAW
references c and d) to transfer appropriate operational and R&D
functions. The proposed course of action involves a transfer of
the ICLP program to DIA. Because of current manpower
authorization problems, neither INSCOM nor DIA has spaces it
can/will dedicate to a psychoenergetic program; therefore a
compromise solution appears appropriate wherein USAINSCOM agrees
to detail ICLP resources to DIA for FY 85 with the stipulation

that DIA obtain necessary manpower authoriztion under the FY 86
GDIP. Personnel detailed will either revert to INSCOM or PCS to
DIA by 30 September 1985. This approach was discussed- with DIA
on 20 July 1984.
2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) The proposed solution requires a decision
by the CG, USAINSCOM as to whether the detailing of INSCOM
resources to DIA to perform operational functions and support
R&D activities, as appropriate, satisfies the CG's intent to
discontinue all INSCOM involvement with psychoenergetic research
and operations.
3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) If the CG does not approve the detailing
solution and DIA is unable to solve the manning problem, then
the CG authorization is required to use INSCOM resources to
continue with training and outstanding contracts scheduled for
completion by 31 December 1984. That would require ICLP
personnel involvement and the authorization of approximately
$55,000 for operating expenses through 1st quarter FY 85.
