1. (U) Several recent events have potential for considerable impact on
CENTER LANE and I desire to bring them to your attention. In addition, I
would like to comment on what we need to accomplish in the near future to
insure that we are adequately prepared to deal with the opportunities which
have been presented to us.
2.. (S/NOFORN) Probably the most important event since your new initiative
began was the memorandum from the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and
Engineering, authorizing use of Program 6 resources to maintain current Army
INSCOM capability and supplement as necessary the FY 83 DIA evaluation effort.
Your Project Manager's excellent briefing of the Assistant Secretary of the
Army (Res-earch, Development & Acquisition) showed how you intend to bring the
project back to full and effective strength using Program 6 funds and obtained
his approval for the concept. We now need to finalize the proposals and sub-
mit them, as you can accept funding, for approval.
3. (S/NOFORN) I find very gratifying some of the comments made by the
Director, DIA in forwarding the USDRE memorandum and I quote him for your
benefit:
"Mindful of the past investments in time and manpower and the need to pre-
serve the fragile, painstakingly constructed experience factor, I am particu-
larly gratified to see the Army able to continue its work. I also hope that
this new opportunity will yield some hard positive conclusions that will form
the basis for a stronger and more sustained effort in this area of inquiry
throughout the near term."

4. (C) More recently, the Under Secretary of the Army expressed to me a
desire that the Army participate in activities of the nature addressed by
CENTER LANE to the extent necessary to stay abreast of the state-of-the-art
and that we try for two contractors. These desires were surfaced by my staff
to the ASA(RDA) during his briefing as being a new and somewhat different task
for you which would require thought and additional funding, and he concurred.
5. (U) Discussions with DIA indicate that in the near future Army will be
called upon to participate in briefings for Congress and I ask that your proj-
ect personnel assist in this important endeavor. Prior to any such briefings
we must insure that our house is in order and I offer the following as points
which must be accomplished.
a. (U) The program must be tightened up and legitimized through a clear
audit trail of activities. Your staff has made great strides in this area
and we need to finalize the project's documentation.
b. (S/NOFORN) OPSEC should again be of great concern and I applaud your
efforts to establish a Special Access Program. Some linkage to your former,
similar program will be inevitable, but must be minimized. I suggest that
instead of being part of a joint DOD program INSCOM is now engaged in a simi-
lar, cooperative effort of its own initiative. In keeping with this theme I
have withdrawn from two committees and ask that you complete any actions still
outstanding from your effort which closed 30 September 1982.
c. (U) An extremely close interface must be maintained between your proj-
ect, my staff and DIA. We face what promises to be renewed interest in the
project by Congress and senior government officials over the next few months
and must insure that our. activities are well integrated.
6. (U) I look forward to the events of the next few months with the expec-
tation that CENTER LANE will receive recognition as an intelligence activity
worthy of endorsement.

specific guidance as to the limits of the authority delegated. Authority to
authorize access to Category k information is delegated only to the CENTER LANE
Project Manager. Persons to whom the ACA has delegated his authority are
referred to as Access Approval Authorities (AAA). The AAA may not further
delegate his authority. Names, addresses, secure and non-secure telephone
numbers of the AAA's will be maintained by the ACA. AAA's will notify the
ACA as changes occur.
e. (U) The AAA will be responsible for granting or denying access to
individuals within his/her organization and personnel of industrial activities
under contracts that relate to this special access program negotiated by the
organization. The AAA will promptly notify the ACA of addition/deletion/changes
to the Master Access Roster. Access to this special access program may be granted
only when all access requirements are met.
f. (U) The Access Approval Authority for CENTER LANE is the Project Manager:
Name: LTC Jachim
Mailing Address: Commander
Security Support Detachment
ATTN: LTC Jachim
Ft Meade, MD 20755
Telephone: Autovon - 923-7829/2656
Commercial - 301-677-7829/2656
Secure: Call commercial to arrange secure.
7. (U) Basis for Access. Access to information in the CENTER LANE Program will
be granted only to United States citizens possessing a final SECRET or TOP SECRET
security clearance. The "must know" determination will be strictly applied by
those vested with the authority to grant access. "Must know" is defined as the
need for information by a subject in order to perform their respective duties.
8. (U) One-Time Access. One-time access to program information may be authorized
by an AAA provided there are compelling reasons to grant the access and that the
individual meets the criteria for access as outlined in paragraph 3 above. The
individual receiving one-time access will be briefed before access and debriefed
immediately upon termination of the access period. The individual will execute a
briefing/debriefing statement. Individuals authorized one-time access will not
be entered on the Master Access Roster, but each AAA will maintain a record of
one-time accesses with an explaination as to why the access was deemed necessary.
This information will be forwarded to the ACA as soon as practical.
9. (U) Master Access Roster. The CENTER LANE ACA will maintain, quarterly
publish and distribute a Master Access Roster (MAR) of all personnel authorized
program access. Personnel will be listed under their organization. The roster
will contain the name, rank/grade, social security number, and position/title of

personnel authorized access. The MAR will also include the list of all AAA's and
security coordinators. The roster will be distributed to all AAA's and security
coordinators; it will not be distributed outside of this special access program.
The MAR will be SECRET CENTER LANE as per the Security Classification
Guide. The approval of a single individual for access to the program will be
unclassified; however, care must be taken not to allow the compilation of a partial
or complete access list through unclassified disclosure of individual clearances.
10. (U) Requests for Access. Requests for access to this program will be
submitted in writing with justification by the cognizant Security Coordinator to
the appropriate AAA. If there is no designated Security Coordinator or AAA within
an individual's organization or chain of command, the request will be submitted
directly to the ACA. When access is approved, a Security Coordinator will be
designated for the organization concerned. Requests will be classified as a
minimum CONFIDENTIAL, or when required, higher, based on the information contained
in the justification (see para 4 and the Security Classification Guide). A
request will contain the following information:
a.
(U)
Command, activity, agency, or organization.
b.
(U)
Duty position or job title of individual.
c.
(U)
Name, rank/grade.
d.
(U)

g.
(U)
Additional comments, if necessary.
To simplify communications, subparagraphs lOa through lOg will constitute a
standard format for requesting access.
11. (U) Verification or Determination of Access.
a. (U) The latest edition of the MAR will be used to verify an individual's
access to the program. If a person not listed on the MAR is required to visit an
activity where access to program information is required, the sponsor of the
visit will forward an electrical message containing the information outlined
in Inclosure 2 in advance of the visit. The visit notification will be signed
by the visitor's Security Coordinator and addressed to the Security Coordinator
of the activity being visited.
b. (U) If an activity receives a visitor without prior notification, the
Security Coordinator of the activity being visited may use the unsecure telephone
to verify the individual's access authorization. Telephonic verification will be
followed up by a message requesting verification.
12. (U) Briefing and Debriefing. Security Coordinators will stress the security
aspects of this program to personnel at the time they are granted access. De-
briefing will, be accomplished by the Security Coordinator when access is no
