1. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Since the beginning of USAINSCOM's exploitation
of psychoenergetics (PE) technology with Project GRILL FLAME, up
through the present effort under CENTER LANE, the program has been
conducted on an ad hoc basis, using resources taken "out of hide."
Despite the provisional approach, Project results have been very
impressive. State-of-the-art in psychoenergetics has advanced so
far, however, that the current organizational approach is no longer
adequate to derive the maximum benefit and intelligence potential
from available technology. In recognition of this, directives
received in the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Program
Manager's Guidance Memorandum (PMGM), Fiscal Years 1986-1990 (U),
Substantive Guidance document require the provision of "unranked
packages to fund the operational use of CENTER LANE capabilities"
(para 5i, Incl 1).
2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A proposed organization is attached as
Inclosure 2. Designed not only to expand and enhance already proven
methods of individual PE intelligence collection operations, this
proposal establishes a framework for the development and use of
synergistic technology, where individual PE collection resources are
pooled to "saturate" a target, intensifying collection capability.
In order to support the concept, resources must be planned,
programmed and budgeted to- facilitate the creation of this
organization.

3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Presently, the use of National Foreign
Intelligence Program (NFIP) funds for support of PE operations is
proscribed by Congress. However, support for such operations
throughout the national intelligence community has grown to the
New If
extent that an effort is being made to overturn td decisio
CG INSCOM approves the attached concept, recommend
(as attached at Inclosure 3) be submitted through both
GDIP and Security and Investigative Activities (S&IA) channels.
Submission through both is deemed necessary to allow for S&IA
approval should the NFIP/GDIP funding prohibition not be lifted.
4. (S/NOFORN) The compartmented nature of the information that is
included in the justification documents requires that CENTER LANE
initiatives be submitted separately from INSCOM's standard Program
Analysis Resource Review/Total Army Analysis (TAA/PARR) and
NFIP/GDIP submissions. Upon approval of the concept, the proposed
CENTER LANE T A/ ARR and NFIP/GDIP packets will be transmitted
directly to DAMI-ISH, ACSI DA for 5. (U) Submission of the CENTER LANE initiative by HQ, USAINSCOM
in the Planning, Programing, and Budget (PPB) process implies an
agreement by the command that if the initiative is approved at the
DA and DoD level, USAINSCOM is prepared to implement the program at
the beginning of FY 86. This means that there will be a requirement
to provide 36 personnel to form the organization, effective 1
