1.0 Oct 84
SUBJECT: CENTER LANE Approval History (U)
ISSUE: (U) To provide the Director, DIA with an overview of
CENTER LANE approval history to include human use approval.
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
experimentation and, therefore, falls under the provisions of
DoLI Directive 5240.1-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

psychoenergetic efforts under a new program nicknamed CENTER
LANE. The effective implementation date of CENTER LANE was 3
December 1.982. 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
psych.oenergetics and will assume responsibility for
psychoenergetic intelligence collection on or about 1 January
1985.
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. A brief history
of the Human Use issue and listing of pertinent regulations
follow:
a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) In February 1979, the Army General FOIAB5
Counsel determined that GRILL FLAME activities involved testing ARMY
on human subjects,
In March 1979, the
Surgeon General's Human Subjects Research Review Board reviewed
the GRILL FLAME protocol and concluded that it represented
technology transfer and validation of the technology transfer,
rather than research or clinical investigation, and as such,
GRILL FLAME activities did not require approval for human use.
However, the board expressed concerns that future Army follow-on
work might be classified as research, and as such, plans should
be considered to establish credible human use review procedures
to oversee GRILL FLAME activities. In April 1979, the Army
General Counsel determined that the Army could continue/proceed
with GRILL FLAME activities as long as HEW guidelines and other
appropriate precautionary measures were taken. In April 1980,
the Under Secretary of the Army approved the continuation of
GRILL FLAME activities. In October 1980, the DoD, DIA, and Army
General Counsel jointly agreed that it would be prudent to
obtain written approval from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to
conduct GRILL FLAME activities. ACSI, DA concurrently initiated
action to obtain Secretary of the Army approval to conduct GRILL
FLAME activities. In September 1982, INSCOM GRILL FLAME
activities ceased because of NFIP restrictions; INSCOM
psychoenergetic activities were reinitiated in December 1982,
under the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP), an S4IA activity.

activities was granted on 14 January 1981, 1 February 1982 and i
September 1983. Approvals are generally valid for one year.
Secretary of the Army approval for 1984/85 was not sought
pending reassignment of ICLP to DIA.
b. (U) On 6 June 1984, the ICLP Training and Applications
Procedures (TAAP) document was submitted to INSCOM's Human
Technology Review Board (ITTRB) to satisfy requirements for
institutional oversight and review of Human Use procedures and
issues.
C. (U) Regulations governing "Experimentation on Human
subjects" are as follows:

SUBJECT: CENTER LANE Funding (U
ISSUE: (U) To provide the Director, DIA with information on
CENTER LANE funding for FY 79 through FY 84.
1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The total cost for INSCOM's use of
psychoenergetics for intelligence purposes, less personnel
salaries for FYs 1979 through $75K of which went to
SRI-International for orientation training. In 1980, INSCOM's
costs for the project were only $32K 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 $205K 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
$242K costs for 1982, $125K was spent in support of this joint
services effort and $99K spent on word processing equipment.
The $121K 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.

SUBJECT: CENTER LANE Funding (U)
2. (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. $31.5K INSCOM S&IA funds to
continue the project's efforts. The P-6 funds were 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. (Effort cancelled, $26.5K returned to DA)
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 missing
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 is 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, source personnel will likely be trained
in this technique, since "search problems" continue to be
priority tasks received by this office.
e. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Continuation of coordinate remote
viewing training (CRV) at enhanced levels for one source.
f. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Initiation of CRV training forrfour new
source personnel.
3. (S/CL-l/NOFORN) INSCOM awarded a contract to
SRI-International on 15 November 1.983 to perform work described
in para 2b-f above. The INSCOM S&IA money was used to pay for

SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Evaluations (
ISSUE: (S/CL-1/NOFORN) To Provide the Director, DIA with a
summary of evaluations conducted on GRILL FLAME/CENTER LANE
activities.
1. (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. (S/NOFORN) To review the parapsychological research,
investigations, and applications within DoD and the Intelligence
Community.
b. (S/NOFORN) 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."
c. (S/NOFORN) To recommend a course of action for DoD in
future parapsychological activities.

SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Evaluations
10 Oct 84
The Committee, chaired by Mr. Manfred Gale, published their
report in December 1979. 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 Assistant Deputy
Director for Scientific and Technical Intelligence, DIA,
assembled an independent Scientific Evaluation Team. The team
was to produce a report that would:
a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Discuss the methodology and findings of
the research effort to include all relevant statistical analyses
on remote viewing trial applications.
b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) 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
more coincidence. Certain similarities between the SRI and
Princeton results, obtained in very different 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/CI,-3/NOFORN) The Defense Intelligence Agency published
the results of their three year, $1.5 million. psychoenergetic
research effort on 19 October 1983, with significant
recommendations that INSCOM'S operational remote viewing project
continue.

ISSUE. (U) To provide the Director, DIA with a history of
CENTER LANE personnel selection procedures.
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. Of
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 due to the following elimination factors applied
by IGFP personnel:
a.
(U)
Commander's evaluation.
b.
(U)
Retainability - at least 20 months.
C.
(U)
Health.
d.

SUBJECT: CENTER LANE Personnel Selection Procedures (U)
During the selection process, IGFP management personnel were
looking for individuals who were open minded, adventurous, above
average intelligence, mature and stable, "artistic" in character
and personality, successful, well thought of by self and
co-workers, articulate, sensitive, and had an ability to
"in-flow" data. 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, one refused to talk about
psychoenergetics at all, three thought that most of what they
had heard was nonsense or trickery, three 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 candidates to
ensure equal participation across the intelligence fields of
SIGINT, PHOTINT and HUMINT, 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.
(U)
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
b.
(U)
Gordon Personal Profile Inventory.
c.
(U)
Fundamental Interpersonal Relations
Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B).

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 tendency toward artistic, aesthetic, and
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 psychoenergetic talent or who could be trained to
perform psychoenergetic functions. The ICLP Manager awarded a
contract to SRI-International for development of the profile on
15 November 1983. SRI-International will complete work on the
profile by December 1984.
4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) On 10 November 1983, CG, INSCOM directed
the 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 was funded and administered by the INSCOM
Organizational Effectiveness Office (CENTEX), but managed by the
ICLP Manager. RAPT was cancelled as a screening tool. for ICLP
on 13 March 1984.

1. .(U) Purpose. To obtain your approval for the Army to
engage in CENTER LANE activitiees.
2. (U) Discussion:
NE
a. (S/CL-l!NOFORN) CENTER LANE, is a US Army Intelligence
and Security Command (INSCOM) Special Access Program (SAP) which
utilizes an aspect of parapsychology known $ s remote viewing as
the collection method for obtaining information of intelligence
interest. The CENTER LANE SAP has been approved by the
Secretary of the Army; however, the signed action is being held
by the Army General Counsel for review Of human Luse issues
addressed in this paper.
b. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Army participation in GRILL FLAME,
the predecessor to CENTER LANE, was most recently approved by
Secretary of the Army on I Feb 82 (TAB A0; . Two areas were
addressed by the Army General Counsel in his memorandum which
deserve comment concerning CENTER LANE activities, namely human
experimentation and funding issues.
(1) (S / CL? l / NOFORN) CENT'R LANE' s use of human sub-
jects remains as stated in the enclosed 14 Jan 82 Decision
Memorandum on GRILL FLAME. As in the case of GRILL FLAME,
CENTER LANE has demonstrated that imnorteant foreign 'intelligence
and counterintelligence information may be obtained through the
use of remote viewing and the Army's continued involvement is
warranted. The Central Intelligence Agency, the National
Security Agency, and OACSI, HQDA have all requested and received
support from CENTER LANE.

for GRILL FLAME was trarisfc rred to Commander, TNSCOM effective
1.1. February 1981. OACSI, DAMI-11H remained the Army focal point
for policy matter:, and interlace at the national level. Overall
DoD responsibility resided with the Defense InteLl:igen.ce Agency
(DIA) . Also inc 1981 , a joint servicer=- GRILL FLAME Committee
consisting of I'[A, the US A r Force and US Army was formed.
Later the Air Force Chief of Staff directed that the Air Force
withdraw from the committee and all psychoercer.getic programs. A
comprehensive program was desgned to determine the operational
parameters and usefulness of psychoenergeti.cs and asses.? the
threat these phenomena posed to national security. At. that time
DIA was R&D oriented and It,!SCOM's GRILL FLAME Project was
applications oriented. In the FY83 DoD budget review the Budget.
Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Inteli Bence
curtaatled all. j sycfioenerget:ic activities funded by the Army in
the National Foreign Intel l is ence Program (NFIP), but directed
bat DIA could complete the third year of their effort and that
ill future Army Fund I rig be budgeted outside the NFIP. INSCOM
t ermi hated formal involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY
in the fii L1 of 198in keeping with congressional desires,

7. (SAL-1/NOI'ORN) TRAINU PROCEDURES: To provide a
f ramework for the '_--
standcarda ini of the task of psychoenergetic
learning, as number of me thodcingies arc heing ut1lized and
conducted within the CENTER LANE Project. These are as follows:
a. (S/CL-3JNOFORN) O ien? rtion Testing/Training:
(1) Purpose: To v1dv new personnel with an
introduction to training and applications procedures.
(2) Adoinistered by: CENTER LANE Project personnel and
selected contractor and subcontractors.
(3) Location: Fart George G. Meade, Maryland and other
designated locations.
(4) Duration: One to six months.
(5) Description of Procedures: OrientaLion
testing/training is developed from the practical application of
state--of-the-art psychocrtergetic technology drawn from academic
institutions, scientific laboratories, and research
establishments around the world. It is an eclectic approach,
using those methods which have applications potential..
Orientation testing is designed to determine if new personnel
have aptitudes which would he of operational value and could be
developed through training. This orientation testing consists
of a series of controllec cxerci ses in psyehoener;et: i r
functioning. New personnel may he asked to attempt to perceive,
communicate with, and/or perturb characteristics of a designated
target, person, or event remote in space and/or time from that
individual. Orientation training is composed of practical
exercises in Remote Viewing, lectures, literature review, and
observation of others. It incLudis r
he us e of locally
ignificant sites, as tctl as more remotr
aa~, targets. A target lay ations
ger. pool consists ists of a controlled group of
s1Les or targets and their associated targeting inforrnar ion.
Prior to the beginning of a training session, a target Is
randomly selected from Lhis target pool. Information available
concerning the target is kept from the trainee until after the
svssIon.
(6) Training Session Preliminaries: Before a first
training sessioa is scheduled, the person being trained is
oriented fully to the procedure to be followed by the monitor.
The trainee is instructed that he or she should state only raw
perceptions, since experience has shown that specific
definitions are quite often wrong while initial raw perception
tends to be correct. Personnel being trained are always
encouraged to express their feelings and ideas for enhancing all
aspects of the psychoenergetirs collection process.

provides encouragement- with words of reassurance that the task
is, in fact, possible. At no time is the session conducted by
the trainee in the absence of all other persons. If the trainee
does not have nnV immediate sensory impressions, the monitor
applies no pressure. Rather, the monitor reassures the trainee
that there is no time limit for the trainjting scission. If it
appears to t_he monitor that
the impressions are in some way
contradictory cr inconsistent, Lhe monitor may then attempt
clarification by asking questions in order to verify what the
