SUBJECT: Transfer of the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP)
effort to DIA/USAMRDC.
1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) ISSUE: On 13 July 1984, notice was
officially given of the intent to transfer the operational
intelligence collection portion of the INSCOM CENTER LANE
Project (ICLP) to DIA, and the R&D aspects to USAMRDC.
2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) PURPOSE: To educate DIA and USAMRDC
officials as to ICLP procedures, benefits, and requirements,
and outline possible mechanisms for a minimally disruptive
transfer of the ICLP effort from USAINSCOM to DIA/USAMRDC.
3. (U) RECOMMENDED COURSE OF ACTION:
a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Discontinue ICLP collection activities
effective 30 September 1984.
b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Transfer personnel, facilities, and
equipment to DIA/USAMRDC during the period 1 October - 31
December 1984.
c. (S/CL-3/NOFORN)
through 31 December 1984.
Continue training of ICLP personnel
4. (U) CONSIDERATIONS/PROBLEMS/SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS:
a. (C) Personnel spaces: INSCOM has no spaces it
can/will transfer. It is recommended that a compromise
solution be adopted wherein INSCOM attaches personnel to
DIA/USAMDRC, with the stipulation that DIA obtain authorized
"slotting" under the FY 86 GDIP to support the operational
program, and USAMDRC provide appropriate personnel spaces for
the R&D effort. Personnel attached will either revert to
I:NSCOM or PCS to DIA/USAMDRC by 30 September 1985.

b. (C) Equipment and facilities: Recommend drafting memo
of understanding with INSCOM and HQ, Ft. Meade allowing present
facilities and equipment use for continuation of operations
under DIA/USAMRDC auspices.
c. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Because psychoenergetic activities
constitute "Experimentation on Human Subjects," as determined
by DoD and Army General Counsel, assignment preferences of
volunteer personnel must be considered.
5. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) POINTS SUPPORTING RECOMMENDED POSITION:
Seven years of practical experience have proven the necessity
of a proper source/interviewer/analyst and management mix.
Transfer of ICLP as a "package deal" insures continuity, the
greatest prospect of success, and the least amount of
disruption, as well as guarantees the retention of
indispensable "institutional memory."
6. (U) ACTION TAKEN:
a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Authorized to continue training in FY
b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Authorized to continue with existing
contracts. Will continue as COTR.
c. S/CL-3/NOFORN) Operations are to continue to 30
September 1984.
d. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Local training is to continue, pending
final disposition of the Project.
e. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Authorized to notify "customers" of
change of directive.
f. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Arranging to contact and inform
contractor of Project's status change.
