MEMORANDUM FOR Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific and
Technical Intelligence, Defense Intelligence
Agency
SUBJECT: Future Human Use Procedures (U)
1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Of the numerous concerns requiring
attention in the forthcoming transfer of CENTER LANE from INSCOM
to DIA, one in particular, if not attended to appropriately and
expeditiously, could pose a major obstacle; that is, the "human
use" issue.
2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Though the issue has evolved through
numerous iterations and revisions since the beginning of the DoD
psychoenergetics effort, the highest levels of management, legal
counsel and command have generally all concurred that the
program indeed constitutes "human use." The exact mechanism by
which CENTER LANE will become a DIA asset is at the moment
unclear; but whether the option selected involves either
temporary detailing of personnel or a permanent change of
station transfer, responsibility to resolve the "human use"
issue will probably devolve on DIA as the proponent agency for
the consolidated psychoenergetics effort. Documentation
available to this office are ambiguous as to whether DIA has a
current psychoenergetic human use charter, and if it does, if
such a charter would provide coverage for the elements
transferring from INSCOM to DIA.
3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The "human use" issue has not only
attracted significant, high level interest and emphasis, but
possesses as well a potential for serious program disruption and
legal repercussions, should activities continue for an extended
period without thorough, formal compliance with the pertinent
ARMY review(s) completed.

regulations and directives. Recommend highly that this issue be
addressed by DIA management at the earliest appropriate moment
to enable the CENTER LANE activity to continue training and/or
resume operations upon transfer to DIA on 1 January 1985. If
the CENTER LANE transfer does riot occur by 1 January 1985, then
INSCOM may have to address the "human use" issue separately
since Secretarial authorization to conduct CENTER LANE
activities expires 31 December 1984.
5. (U) Regulations governing "human use" to which CENTER LANE
has heretofore been subject are as follows:
a. (U) 45 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 46, "Protection
of Human Subjects".
b. (U) Procedure 13, DoD Directive 5240.1-R.
c. (U) AR 381-10, paragraph 2-18 .
d. (TI) USAINSCOM Regulation 15-3, "Boards, Commissions and
Committees: HIGH PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROCEDURES".
