MEMORANDUM FOR ADCSOPS-HU MINT
SUBJECT: CENTER LANE Briefing for CG, USAINSCOM
1. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) On 26 August 1983 from 1125-1235 hours LTC
Brian Buzby, CENTER LANE Project Manager, CPT Frederick Atwater,
CENTER LANE Operations Officer, and CW2(P) Joseph McMoneagle,
CENTER LANE Project Member, presented briefings on the current
status of CENTER LANE and the Monroe Institute of Applied
Sciences (MIAS) to CG, USAINSCOM in room 121, Arlington Hall
Station. The original CG request was for a briefing on MIAS,
however I thought it was appropriate to provide him an update on
the project.
2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Prior to the briefing, I paid a courtesy
call on COL Charles Partridge, USAINSCOM Chief of Staff. I
informed him of the topics I planned to discuss with the CG
after which he requested a formal update of the Project. I
welcomed that opportunity and recommended that be accomplished
in late September. COL Partridge then asked if I was in contact
with LTC John Alexander and if I was receiving information from
him. I explained that LTC Alexander's involvement with
parapsychology was entirely overt and that we neither had nor
wanted any contact with him. I then cautioned COL Partridge
that our association with MIAS is classified and sensitive. He
understood our concern about any association with LTC Alexander.
3. (U) I attempted to see COL Stanley Hyman, DCSOPS,
USAINSCOM, however, he was on leave. I did see Mr Jimmy
Garrett, ADCSOPS, and told him about the purpose of our briefing
with MG Stubblebine. He then informed me that the CENTER LANE
update I prepared on 16 August 1983 had not been provided to the
4. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) I provided MG Stubblebine with five
information papers on the status of CENTER LANE, our association
with MIAS, and an explanation of the Gateway experience. They
were:
a. Summary of Operations (Incl 1)
b. 1983 Summary of Operations (Incl 2)
c. Recent CENTER LANE Work With NSA (Incl 3)
d. CENTER LANE Involvement With MIAS (Incl 4)
e. The MIAS Seminar (Incl 5)

MG Stubblebine returned copies of Incl 1-4 and retained Incl 5.
In addition to topics covered by the papers, I also asked MG
Stubblebine about his discussions with CPT Rufus Jackson, an MI
officer assigned to HQ, USAREUR. He provided me with sufficient
information that will permit me to consider Jackson for
assignment to CENTER LANE.
5. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) I then mentioned our discussions with
OACSI, DA on the procurement of P-6 funds for FY 84 training.
At that time the CG started to relate some of his experiences
and personal thoughts in the field of parapsychology. It was
obvious that the CG wanted to continue lengthy discussions on
the subject, but his busy schedule that day would not permit
further discussions; therefore I recommended that we schedule
him for an indepth briefing/discussion at Fort Meade in late
September/early October. He welcomed the opportunity and
instructed me to coordinate the briefing with his Aide-de-Camp.
The late September/early October time frame will permit him to
reflect on his recent MIAS experience which should allow for
more meaningful discussions with CENTER LANE personnel. Upon
completion of my presentation, CPT Atwater and CW2(P) McMoneagle
provided the CG with information on MIAS and the Gateway
experience.
6. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) In response to my question on what the CG
wanted me to do with the project, he directed me to expand the
program with quality people, develop a screening program to
identify qualified people for the project; and employ advance
techniques for intelligence collection.
7. (U) Upon conclusion of the briefing I briefed COL Partridge
on the results of the meeting with the CG to include the CG's
request for a further briefing in late September/early October
and the reason for the five-six week waiting period. COL
Partridge agreed on the need for another briefing.
8. (U) We will begin to prepare for a late September briefing
for the CG. While we will give him a formal briefing on our
current projects and intended future courses of action, I
believe the CG will want to focus on his MIAS experience, and
hold technical discussions with CENTER LANE personnel.
