g. (U) COL Powers asked if the man who finished Stage 6
would now be going on to Stage 7.
h. (U) The CG asked who we would get to operate the
biomonitoring equipment?
i. (S/CL2/NOFORN) The CG made the comment that for CENTER
LANE to be really effective required a receptive user.
j. (S/CL2/NOFORN) COL?Powers asked where we got our Remote
Viewers from?
3. (S/CL3/NOFORN) The CG was very candid in his comments.
Prior to the briefing he stated that ICLP was "plowing new
ground." He was not sure, however, if INSCOM was the one who
should be plowing that ground. The CG stated on several
occasions that ICLP was producing good results. He also stated
that people who had come in contact with the project spoke
highly of the dedication and professionalism of the people
assigned to the project and that the welfare of these people
would be a primary consideration in any decision he made
concerning the project. After the briefing the CC discussed the
way personnel were assigned to the project, although there is no
TDA for the project. He stated that he had no heartburn with
task forcing as this was a valid management tool. He also spoke
of the problem of using unfinanced requirements to fund the
project. COL Kirk stated that this was no problem as the monies
used by ICLP were only a drop in the barrel when compared to
INSCOM'S overall budget and that funds had already been set
aside for FY 85 for ICLP. Mr. Del Toro spoke strongly in favor
of the project and suggested it be used by the US Army much more
in the future. The CG stated that should ICLP be cleared for
the GDIP, there was still no chance of getting a TDA approved
for at least the next three years.
4. (S/CL2/NOFORN) After the briefing, the CG toured the CENTER
LANE facilities and made several favorable comments. The CC
stated that we would have his decision on the future of the
project soon. LTC Buzby pushed for an early decision because
the deadline was approaching for committing funds for new
contracts. The CG agreed to have a decision by the end of the
week.
