Approved For Release 2003/09/16/ Cp -RDP9 0788RA0170,~270#2 c N6 S c) a 3 5 8'3 SEC ARMY BRIEFING INTRODUCTION GOOD MORNING SIR, I AM LTC BUZBY, PROJECT MANAGER FOR INSCOM PROJECT CENTER LANE. CENTER LANE IS AN ARMY SPECIAL COLLECTION PROGRAM THAT UTILIZES PSYCHOENERGETICS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BRIEFING IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH BACKGROUND INFORMATION CONCERNING INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES USING THE CENTER LANE TECHNIQUE. I WILL DISCUSS THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM, OUR MISSIONS AND ORGANIZATION, EXAMPLES OF COMPLETED COLLECTION PROJECTS, AND OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. SECURITY INDOC (CHART ON)..A. HISTORY: SINCE 1972, THE US GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. THREE SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA WERE OF INTEREST: REMOTE VIEWING whtc.4 (CLAIRVOYANCE), PSYCHOKINESIS AND REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS R T` EIk HY. IN THE EARLY 1970s SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR PSYCHOENERGETICS, PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF REMOTE VIEWING AS AN INTELLIGENCE GATHERING TOOL, RECEIVED GREAT IMPETUS FROM WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS ASTOUNDING SUCCESSES IN REMOTE VIEWING RESEARCH BY TWO LASER PHYSICISTS AT SRI INTERNATIONAL. USING SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC SUBJECTS, THE SCIENTISTS Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 SG1A SG1A CONDUCTED A SERIES OF CIA-SPONSORED TESTS. MUCH DETAILED. ACCURATE INFORMATION. SOME OF IT PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED. WAS PROVIDED ABOUT A SECRET NSA FACILITY. THE SOVIET R&D FACILITY IN SEMIPALITINSK (SEMI -POLY-TINSK). (THESE PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS WERE CONFIRMED BY HUMINT AND NATIONAL TECHNICAL SOURCES. BECAUSE OF THESE ORIGINAL TESTS. THE LAST DECADE OF WORK CENTERED ON REMOTE VIEWING. SINCE THOSE ORIGINAL TESTS. THE CIA SUSPENDED THEIR ACTIVE ROLE IN PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITIES FOR "POLITICAL" REASONS. BUT HAVE CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A HIGH STATE OF INTEREST IN ALL ON-GOING WORK BECAUSE OF OBVIOUS DEFENSE APPLICATIONS. DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME THE MILITARY SERVICES AND DIA HAVE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS PSYCHOENERGETICS TESTS. MOST OF THEM APPLICATIONS ORIENTED. B. US ARMY INTERESTS: THE U.S. ARMY'S INTEREST IN PSYCHOENERGETICS GOES BACK TO 1972. WHEN THE SURGEON GENERAL THROUGH THE MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION AGENCY (MIIA). TOGETHER WITH DIA. PUBLISHED STUDIES OF SOVIET BLOCK WORK. IN 1976. THE MISSILE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (MIA) INFORMALLY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN US REPLICATION OF CLAIMED SOVIET EXPERIMENTS IN PSYCHOKINESIS. SRI DEVELOPED A SMALL PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN AUGUST 1977 MIA AWARDED SRI AN $80K ONE-YEAR R&D CONTRACT. DURING THE SAME TIME. ANOTHER DARCOM AGENCY. THE ARMY MATERIAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AGENCY WAS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF REMOTE VIEWING CONCEPTS WITH SRI. THESE EFFORTS CONTINUED THROUGH FY 1980. IN MARCH 1980, WILLIAM J. PERRY. THEN Approved For Release 2003/09/16 2CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 UNDERSECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING, ORDERED CURTAILMENT OF ALL P6 MONIES SUPPORTING THE PROGRAM, BUT POSED NO OBJECTION TO CONTINUANCE OF NON-R&D INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS EFFORTS. THIS ACTION EVENTUALLY CAUSED DARCOM TO CEASE ALL ACTIVITY. C. INSCOM INVOLVEMENT: IN SEPTEMBER 1977, AN INSCOM ELEMENT IMPLEMENTED THE GONDOLA WISH PROGRAM WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE THE SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN PSYCHOENERGETIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION THREAT INTO THE ALL-SOURCE OPERATIONS SECURITY (OPSEC) SUPPORT SCENARIO. [THE CONCEPT WAS TO TRAIN MI PERSONNEL TO MIMIC SOVIET INTELLIGENCE COLLECTORS, AND THEN UTILIZE THESE TRAINED PERSONNEL TO DEMONSTRATE THE PSYCHOENERGETIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION THREAT, IDENTIFY ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION (EEFI) EXPLOITABLE BY PSYCHOENERGETIC MEANS, DETERMINE VULNERABILITIES, AND RECOMMEND AND DEVELOP COUNTERMEASURES] BY SPRING OF 1978, SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE EXISTED TO WARRANT SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BY THE ARMY ACSI FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM TO EXPLORE MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. THE ACSI. ~_N-C 'O ON1 BECAME THE FOCAL POINT IN DEVELOPING A PROGRAM WITHIN THE ARMY. THE ACSI CANCELLED THE GONDOLA WISH EFFORT, PLACED A COMPLETE SECURITY ENVELOPE OVER ARMY'S INTEREST IN PSYCHOENERGETICS, AND IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROGRAM DIRECTED TOWARDS INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION. THE NEW EFFORT WAS GIVEN THE UNCLASSIFIED NICKNAME GRILL FLAME. IN OCTOBER 1978, ACSI TASKED INSCOM TO ESTABLISH A PROGRAM USING PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : C~A-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 UTILIZING REMOTE VIEWING (RV). IN RESPONSE TO THIS CG. INSCOM PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING MISSION STATEMENT: (CHART CHANGE) ESTABLISH A TRAINING PROGRAM IN RV UTILIZING SELECTED INSCOM PERSONNEL. ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION TECHNIQUES UTILIZING RV. ESTABLISH A MECHANISM FOR RESPONDING TO INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS (TASKING) USING RV. (CHART CHANGE) GIVEN THIS DIRECTIVE THE INSCOM GRILL FLAME PROJECT BEGAN. BY APRIL 1979. INSCOM HAD AWARDED A $75K CONTRACT TO SRI FOR REMOTE VIEWING ORIENTATION TRAINING; BY MID 1979 THE PROJECT WAS PROGRESSING RAPIDLY. INSCOM INVOLVEMENT DURING 1980 WAS DEVOTED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO OPERATIONAL 60#0 MISSIONS. ON 13 JANUARY 1981, THE UNDER SECRETARY OF THE ARMY FORMALIZED INSCOM'S EFFORTS BY APPROVING THE CONTINUATION OF THEE AL A/6 4 4 va %wX I r N CTf~ i; INSCOM GRILL FLAME PROJECT, TH 4 ND BY N I S. AS A RESULT. ACSI MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE ARMY GRILL FLAME EFFORT WERE TRANSFERRED TO INSCOM. ALSO IN 1981. A JOINT SERVICES GRILL FLAME COMMITTEE. CONSISTING OF DIA, THE AIR FORCE AND THE ARMY, WAS FORMED. THE NAVY EXPRESSED NO INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS. AND Approved For Release 2003/09/16 :1ICIA-RDP96-00788 R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 LATER THE AIR FORCE CHIEF OF STAFF DIRECTED THAT THE AIR FORCE WITHDRAW FROM THE COMMITTEE AND ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROGRAMS. THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT INTENDED TO IMPLEMENT A 3-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND USEFULNESS OF PSYCHOENERGETICSJ AND ASSESS THE THREAT THESE PHENOMENA POSED TO NATIONAL SECURITY. THE ROLES OF DIA AND ARMY WERE DISTINCT. LDIA ISSUED JOINT SERVICE CONTRACTS TO ACCOMPLISH THE REQUIRED EXTERNAL SUPPORT. CHAIRED THE GRILL FLAME COMMITTEE. PROVIDED PROGRESS REPORTS TO APPROPRIATE HIGH LEVEL DECISION MAKERS. ADDITIONALLY. DIA BEGAN ASSESSING THE THREAT. DETERMINING COUNTERMEASURES, AND DETERMINING THE POTENTIAL OF REMOTE VIEWING USING EXPERIENCED RVERS2 DIA'S R&D EFFORT WAS PRIMARILY ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH CONTRACTS WITH SRI . THE ARMY'S INSCOM GRILL FLAME PROJECT WAS TO USE REMOTE VIEWING AS AN OPERATIONAL TECHNIQUE TO COLLECT INTELLIGENCE AND TO DETERMINE IF REMOTE VIEWING COULD BE LEARNED BY PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL WHO WERE NOT "ESTABLISHED PSYCHICS." INSCOM PARTICIPATED IN THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT FOR FYS 81 AND 82. THEN THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE SENATOR WALLOP] CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY THE ARMY IN THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM (NFIP) AT THE END OF FY 1982. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES AGREED. HOWEVER. TO LET DIA COMPLETE THE THIRD YEAR OF THEIR EFFORT AND DIRECTED THAT FUTURE FUNDING -- IF ANY -- OF THIS PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITY BE BUDGETED OUTSIDE THE NFIP. IN KEEPING WITH THESE CONGRESSIONAL DESIRES AND WISHING TO MAINTAIN THE MOMENTUM OF EFFORT ALREADY Approved For Release 2003/09/16 5jCIA-RDP96-00788 R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 ESTABLISHED, CG INSCOM DECIDED TO CONTINUE INSCOM'S PROJECT AND PROVIDE FUNDING WITH SECURITY AND INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES (S&IA) MONIES. INSCOM TERMINATED FORMAL INVOLVEMENT WITH GRILL FLAME AT THE END OF FY 82, AND CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS UNDER A NEW PROGRAM NICKNAMED CENTER LANE. CENTER LANE EXISTS TODAY AS AN APPROVED SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM (SAP).` WE COOPERATE WITH DIA, BUT ARE SEPARATELY FUNDED AND MANAGED OUTSIDE THE GDIP., PART 1 A. OPERATIONAL MISSIONS: YOU CnMF Fvnnnoi r~~__l1~ SR I'Fi-e NOW I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVER VIEW OF INSCOM'S OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. (GRAPH ON) DURING 1979. WE CONDUCTED 79 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. 43 OF WHICH WERE DEDICATED TO ASSISTING THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DURING THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS. DURING 1980. AFTER WE ACQUIRED OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE. OUR OWN SEPARATE FACILITIES. AND INCREASED MANPOWER. WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE OUR PRODUCTION TO 386 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. 154 OF WHICH WERE STILL DEDICATED TO IRAN. IN 1981. WE PRODUCED 153 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS WITH ONLY 6 DEDICATED TO IRAN HOSTAGE REQUIREMENTS. DURING THE LAST HALF OF 1981. PERSONNEL LOSSES RESULTED IN A SHARP DECLINE OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. A SITUATION THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. DURING THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1983 WE HAVE CONDUCTED 47 MISSIONS. IN SUMMARY. IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS Approved For Release 2003/09/16 6CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 WE HAVE CONDUCTED 700 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS. A CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF THESE (OVER 200) WERE IN SUPPORT OF THE IRAN SITUATION. WHICH THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF RATED AS BEING QUALITATIVELY EQUAL TO THOSE OF OTHER INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM. B. WITH REGARD TO PERSONNEL: (GRAPH CHANGE) IN 1979. CG INSCOM FORMED A TASK FORCE CONSISTING OF 5 PERSONNEL: A PROJECT MANAGER. AN OPERATIONS/TRAINING OFFICER. A SECRETARY. AND TWO SOURCES (RVERS). IN 1980, TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE ASSIGNED. BY 1981. WE WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITED 2 NEW PERSONNEL FOR THE PROJECT. BUT BY THE END OF 1981. PCS MOVES SEVERELY HAMPERED OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY. IN 1982 AND 1983. WE REMAINED STATIC IN OUR PERSONNEL SITUATION UNTIL RECENTLY. OUR CURRENT FULL TIME STRENGTH IS SHOWN ON THE GRAPH. ADDITIONALLY. WE HAVE TWO PART TIME SOURCES. IN JANUARY 1984. ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WILL BE ASSIGNED. WITH AN ADDITIONAL ASSET SCHEDULED FOR ASSIGNMENT IN MAY 1984. WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE RECRUITING/SCREENING PROGRAM AND LOOK FORWARD TO GROWING RAPIDLY AND INCREASING OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES ONCE WE OBTAIN APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL SPACES AND FUNDING. C. TRAINING: OUR MISSION STATEMENT REQUIRES US TO TRAIN PERSONNEL TO PERFORM Approved For Release 2003/09/16 :;CIA-RDP96-00788 R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 REMOTE VIEWING. I WILL NOW PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF OUR TRAINING EFFORT FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. (GRAPH CHANGE) TRAINING ACTUALLY BEGAN IN 1979, WITH OUR IN-HOUSE EFFORT TO INTRODUCE SELECTED INSCOM PERSONNEL TO THE REMOTE VIEWING PROCESS. WE BEGAN WITH 12 POTENTIAL TRAINEES FROM WHICH 6 WERE SELECTED FOR ORIENTATION TRAINING AT SRI , l.ff...`t'i'~N TQ"` _ ~ ~6 At ff-&RNI* DURING 1979, WE INTEGRATED THE SRI ORIENTATION TRAINING TECHNOLOGY INTO OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE IT IS STILL IN USE TODAY FOR NEW PERSONNEL. DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 1980, LITTLE OR NO FORMAL TRAINING WAS CONDUCTED BECAUSE OF OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS AND LACK OF FUNDING. LATER IN 1980, IN-HOUSE TRAINING BECAME NECESSARY TO DEVELOP SOURCE (RVERS) ABILITIES TO RESPOND TO OPERATIONAL TASKING. BY THEN OUR OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS EXTENDED BEYOND THE CAPABILITIES DEVELOPED AS A RESULT OF THE SRI ORIENTATION TRAINING. OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING DEVELOPED FROM THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOENERGETIC TECHNOLOGY DRAWN FROM ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES, AND RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENTS AROUND THE WORLD. WE TOOK AN ECLECTIC APPROACH: USING THOSE METHODS WHICH HAD APPLICATIONS POTENTIAL TO OUR OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. IN-HOUSE TRAINING, ie" Nb L17 rUQ Q IS COMPOSED OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES, LECTURES, RE*Dt+G S. AND OBSERVATION OF OTHERS. BY THE END OF 1980, WE BEGAN AN ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE HEMISPHERIC SYNCHRONIZATION PROCESS DEVELOPED BY ROBERT A. MONROE AND USED AT THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED SCIENCE, FABER, VIRGINIA. THIS ADVANCED TRAINING ENABLES SOURCE PERSONNEL (RVERS) TO ACHIEVE STATES CONDUCIVE TO PSYCHOENERGETIC AWARENESS. THIS AS 'IOU PecgLLApp'r64d F gAbse~2'003/09/16 8CIA DP96- 0788R001700 Q rA '1 ~ `~ O V 0 w i t Ke i SYNC vR o c ess i4, o P90u,O Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 1/,L/5 ADVANCED TRAINING IS BEING FURTHER REFINED AND CONTINUES TO BE USED TODAY. IN MID 1982, WE BEGAN A NEW TRAINING PROGRAM IN COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING (CRV) WITH SRI. THIS NEW CRV TRAINING PROCESS SUBDIVIDES THE DETECTION AND DECODING OF PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS INTO DISCRETE, ACHIEVABLE SKILL LEVELS. THIS PROCESS HOLDS GREAT PROMISE FOR REFINING RV AND GIVES US A METHOD BY WHICH WE CAN BRING NEW SOURCE PERSONNEL UP TO AN OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE LEVEL WITH MINIMAL DRAIN ON OUR LIMITED IN-HOUSE RESOURCES. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL CONTRACTORS TO ASSIST US IN MAINTAINING STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. D. WITH REGARD TO FUNDING: (GRAPH CHANGE) I N 1979, THE TOTAL COST TO INSCOM EEtt1'D11V'G S AR I ~ ) WAS $87K, $75K OF WHICH WENT TO SRI FOR ORIENTATION UtjVi TRAINING. IN 19801 INSCOM's COSTS FOR THE PROJECT WERE ONLY `1QUt $42K AND THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL CONTRACTS. IN 1981, FUNDING LEVELS WERE INCREASED TO PERMIT INSCOM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SPC-NT JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM WITH DIA. OF THE $201K $' IN 1981, $190K WENT TO EXTERNAL CONTRACTS WITH SRI IN SUPPORT OF THE JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM AND OUR OWN REQUIREMENTS. 1982 WAS THE SECOND AND LAST YEAR OF INSCOM's SUPPORT TO THE JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM DUE TOgtCONGRESSIONAL GUIDANCE FROM SENATOR WALLOP'S COMMITTEE. OF THE TOTAL $245K COSTS FOR 1982, $125K WAS S PE4,T D IN SUPPORT OF THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT AND $99K FOR WORD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT. THE $128K FY X83 BUDGET SAW THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING TRAINING AT SRI Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : Cho-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 AT A COST OF $36K1 EXPANSION OF ADVANCED TRAINING UNDER A CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MR. MONROE, OF- iE -"rP4 t1E ATE AT A COST OF $24.4K, AND THE EXPENDITURE OF $40K FOR ADDITIONAL WORD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT. (LOGO) Co(r i () 0 BEFORE I CAN WITH THE BRIEFING. I WILL SUMMERIZE THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF INSCOM'S EFFORT IN PSYCHOENERGETICS BY STATING THAT WE HAVE CONDUCTED 700 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS IN SUPPORT OF 89 COLLECTION PROJECTS. AND MANAGED FOUR SOURCE TRAINING PROGRAMS -- ALL WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONNEL AND AT A COST TO DATE OF ONLY $703K. THOSE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS HAVE RESULTED IN 3 "INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FIRSTS."

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONE COLLECTION PROJECT MAY REQUIRE ONE OR MANY OPERATIONAL MISSIONS TO SATISFY ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION (EEI). THE IRAN PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, REQUIRED OVER 200 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. A. COLLECTION PROJECTS (OVERVIEW): (GRAPH ON) IN 1979, WE CONDUCTED 7 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR FOUR SEPARATE SPONSOR AGENCIES. IN 1980, WE CONDUCTED 41 PROJECTS FOR 6 SPONSOR AGENCIES. IN 1981, AS MANPOWER CONSTRAINTS BEGAN TO LIMIT OUR CAPABILITY, WE CONDUCTED ONLY 20 PROJECTS FOR FIVE SPONSORS. IN 1982, OUR PRODUCTION FELL AGAIN TO JUST 11 PROJECTS AS WE ONLY HAD ONE OPERATi ONAL SOURCE ASSIGNED. SO FAR IN 1983, WE HAVE 10 PROJECTS, SOME OF WHICH REMAIN ACTIVE. IN SUMMARY, OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS INSCOM HAS CONDUCTED 89 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT US GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. OUR SUCCESS AT ACHIEVING THE GOALS OUTLINED IN OUR MISSION STATEMENT MUST BE EXAMINED FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES. (GRAPH CHANGE) FIRST OF--L, OF THE 700 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, OVER 85% HAVE PRODUCED INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE TARGET SITE. BUT NOT ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WAS OF INTELLIGENCE VALUE. IN ASSESSING RV AS AN INTELLIGENCE TOOL, APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE 700 MISSIONS PRODUCED INFORMATION OF TRUE INTELLIGENCE VALUE. (GRAPH Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : M-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 (LOGO) B.

THE PROHIBITION AGAINST UTILIZING PROGRAM 6 FUNDS WAS SUSPENDED BY THE CURRENT UNDERSECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING AND THE ACSI HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE THESE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT. THIS WILL ENABLE US TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS INTO AREAS WHICH HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED OVER THE YEARS DUE TO LACK OF A SUFFICIENT FUNDING BASE. WE PLAN THE FOLLOWING EXPENDITURES FOR FY 1984: (CHART ON) PURCHASE OF BIOMONITORING EQUIPMENT TO BE USED TO DETERMINE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES DURING THE CONDUCT OF PSYCHOENERGETIC TASKS: $26.5K. 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. WE PLAN TO USE THIS STUDY TO ASSIST US IN RECRUITING NEW SOURCES: $120K FOR SRI AND SRI SUBCONTRACTS. Approved For Release 2003/09/161IA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 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: $65K FOR SRI AND SRI SUBCONTRACT. DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW PSYCHOENERGETIC TECHNIQUE FOR USE IN "SEARCH PROBLEMS." OVER THE YEARS SPONSOR AGENCIES HAVE ASKED US TO ASSIST IN LOCATING LOST OR MISSING EQUIPMENT OR PERSONNEL. BEACUSE THIS IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL REMOTE VIEWING TASK WE HAVE HAD LITTLE SUCCESS AT PROVIDING TIMELY USABLE INTELLIGENCE IN THESE CASES. THAT'S 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, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE TRAINING SOURCE PERSONNEL IN THIS TECHNIQUE BECAUSE "SEARCH PROBLEMS" CONTINUE TO BE PRIORITY TASKS RECEIVED BY THIS OFFICE: $175K FOR SRI. CONTINUATION OF COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING TRAINING AT ENHANCED LEVELS FOR ONE SOURCE: $4OK FOR SRI AND SRI CONSULTANT. Approved For Release 2003/09/1 (13 CIA-RDP96-00788 R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 INITIATION OF CRV TRAINING FOR THREE NEW SOURCE PERSONNEL: $70K FOR SRI AND SRI CONSULTANT. THIS $496.5K P6 MONEY WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED BY $235K INSCOM S&IA FUNDS WHICH WILL BE USED FOR TRAVEL AND SUPPORT FUNCTIONS. BECAUSE THIS P6 FUNDING BASE HAS SO RECENTLY BECOME AVAILABLE TO US, FINAL BUDGET PLANS FOR FYs 85-89 ARE STILL BEING FORMULATED. HAVING THE MOST IMPACT ON OUR PLANS IS THE FACT THAT THE CG INSCOM HAS JUST PROVIDED US WITH A NEW CENTER LANE MISSION STATEMENT: (CHANGE CHART) CONDUCT INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS UTILIZING ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROCESSES APPLICABLE. TRAIN SELECTED PERSONNEL IN STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOENERGETIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES. EXPAND OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND TRAINING BEYOND THE CONFINES OF INFORMATION COLLECTION INTO THE FIELDS OF PSYCHOENERGETIC COMMUNICATION AND PSYCHOKENESIS. THIS NEW MISSION STATEMENT EXPANDS OUR EFFORT A GREAT DEAL. WE ARE NO LONGER CONFINED TO REMOTE VIEWING AS OUR PRINCIPAL TOOL AND WILL NOW DEVELOP AND USE TELEPATHIC AND PSYCHOKINETIC SKILLS. OUR FINAL FY 85-89 BUDGET PLANS WILL BE DESIGNED TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT.

FUTURE PERSONNEL: HAVING BEEN DENIED NFIP FUNDING AND, THEREFORE, A TDA BY CONGRESSIONAL ACTION, CG, INSCOM HAS PROVIDED OUT-OF-HIDE PERSONNEL SPACES IN SUPPORT OF CENTER LANE SINCE THE LOSS OF THIS FUNDING AT THE END OF FY 82. NO BUDGET SUBMISSION WAS MADE TO OBTAIN S&IA FUNDED PERSONNEL SPACES BECAUSE ACSI EXPECTED TO GET NFIP APPROVAL IN THEIR FY 85 GDIP SUBMISSION. THE FY 85 GDIP INITIATIVE WAS POSTPONED LATE LAST MONTH (29 AUG 83). Now ACSI DOES NOT ANTICIPATE THE POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF NFIP FUNDING UNTIL FY86. CENTER LANE CONTINUES TO OPERATE WITHIN INSCOM AS A TASK FORCE WITH OUT TDA. WE HOPE TO HAVE THREE ADDITIONAL TRAINEE SOURCES ASSIGNED TO US BY NEXT SPRING AND POSSIBLY TWO MORE BY THE FOLLOWING WINTER, (LOGO) C. COUNTERMEASURES: THE INVESTIGATION OF PSYCHOENERGETIC COUNTERMEASURES HAS LAGGED BEHIND OTHER EFFORTS FOR ONE MAIN REASON. DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURES REQUIRES A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNDERLYING MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN PSYCHOENERGETIC PROCESSES. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INTO THESE AREAS HAS NEVER BEEN ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED BY A FUNDING BASE. NOW THAT Pb RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT MONEY HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED, WE ANTICIPATE THAT A MULTI-YEAR, ADEQUATELY FUNDED BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM CAN BE DEVELOPED TO INVESTIGATE THE ACTUAL MECHANISM BEHIND PSYCHOENERGETIC FUNCTIONING. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT DIA IS WORKING ON A TEN YEAR, ELEVEN MILLION DOLLAR Approved For Release 2003/09/16f lA-RDP96-00788 R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 PROPOSAL AT THIS TIME. THE LOGICAL FALLOUT FROM SUCH A RESEARCH EFFORT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF: (CHART ON) PSYCHOENERGETIC MEACONING TECHNIQUES PSYCHOENERGETIC INTRUSION TECHNIQUES PSYCHOENERGETIC JAMMING TECHNIQUES PSYCHOENERGETIC DECEPTION TECHNIQUES UNTIL SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN BE DEVELOPED. CONVENTIONAL COVER, CONCEALMENT. AND DECEPTION MEASURES CAN BE EMPLOYED TO CONFUSE HOSTILE PSYCHOENERGETIC COLLECTORS AND TO MISLEAD INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS. THERE IS NO KNOWN RELIABLE MEANS AT THIS TIME TO DETECT OR PREVENT THE "INTRUSION" OF PSYCHOENERGETIC COLLECTORS. D. FUTURE TRAINING: (CHART CHANGE) CURRENT TRAINING PROGRAMS WILL CONTINUE. WE ARE INVESTIGATING A NEW REMOTE VIEWING TRAINING METHOD WHICH WOULD TEACH SOURCES TO ACCESS TARGET SITES BY ABSTRACT CUING WITHOUT DEPENDENCE ON COORDINATES. WE ARE EXPANDING OUR ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT. THIS EXPANSION OF ADVANCED TRAINING WILL INCLUDE THE USE OF A SENSORY ISOLATION TANK TO HELP REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL "NOISE" DURING OPERATIONS AND Approved For Release 2003/09/1616IA-RDP96-00788 R001700270022-2 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 TRAINING. WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING A TRAINING VEHICLE TO ENABLE OPERATIONAL SOURCES TO COLLECTIVELY FOCUS PSYCHOENERGETIC ABILITIES ON SELECTED TARGETS. DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COLLECTIVELY FOCUSED PSYCHOENERGETICS (CFP) CAPABILITY IS CRITICAL TO FULFILL MISSION STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS.
