I AM LTC BUZBY, PROJECT MANAGER FOR INSCOM PROJECT CENTER LANE.
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY OPERATIONS OFFICER, FRED
ATWATER. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BRIEFING IS TO ORIENT YOU TO A
UNIQUE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROJECT THAT USES THE CENTER LANE
TECHNIQUE,. PRIOR TO SUBMITTING OUR TRAINING AND APPLICATIONS
PROCEDURES FOR YOUR REVIEW AND ACTION.I WILL DISCUSS THE HISTORY
OF THE PROGRAM, TRAINING, OPERATIONS, AND OUR PLANS FOR THE
FUTURE. THE OVERALL CLASSIFICATION OF THE BRIEFING IS SECRET,
CENTER LANE LEVEL 4.
CENTER LANE IS A REGISTERED DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY SPECIAL
ACCESS PROGRAM. THAT STATUS AND THE SENSITIVITY OF THE CENTER
LANE MISSION REQUIRE US TO ADHERE TO STRICT SECURITY'
PROCEDURES, As PART OF THOSE PROCEDURES, WE ASK ALL PERSONNEL
WHO RECEIVE A CENTER LANE BRIEFING TO COMPLETE A SECURITY
BRIEFING CERTIFICATE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE
SENSITIVITY OF CENTER LANE INFORMATION.
(CHART 1) SIR, THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT INVOLVES THE USE
OF PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR INTELLIGENCE PURPOSES. PSYCHOENERGETICS
ARE THE PROCESSES BY WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL MAY PSYCHICALLY
INTERACT WITH OBJECTS, LOCATIONS, ORGANISMS OR EVENTS. THIS
INCLUDES SUCH DISCIPLINES AS PSYCHOKINESIS, REMOTE VIEWING, AND
REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS.

OUR L~ MISSION IS A S DEPICTED ON THIS 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 PSYCHOKINESIS.
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE CENTER LANE ACTIVITIES, IT
IS NECESSARY TO DISCUSS OUR HISTORY,
SINCE 1972, THE US GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS. IN THE EARLY 1970's 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. REMOTE
VIEWING IS AN SRI INTERNATIONAL COINED TERM WHICH IS DEFINED AS
THE ACQUISITION AND DESCRIPTION BY MENTAL MEANS, OF INFORMATION

BLOCKED FROM ORDINARY PERCEPTION BY DISTANCE, SHIELDING OR
TIME. USING SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC SUBJECTS, THE
SCIENTISTS CONDUCTED A REVIEW 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), GUERRILLA
TRAINING BASES IN LIBYA.
IBECAUSE 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.
THE US 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 UNDER SECRETARY 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.
(CHART CHANGE) THE US ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY COMMAND'S
INVOLVEMENT WITH PSYCHOENERGETICS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 1977. AT
THAT TIME, 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.
BY SPRING OF 1978, THE ARMY ACSI CONCLUDED THERE WAS SUFFICIENT
EVIDENCE TO WARRANT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
TO EXPLORE MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. HE
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 t.JSING REMOTE VIEWING. 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 UTILIZING REMOTE VIEWING. BY SPRING
1979, PROJECT PERSONNEL HAD BEEN SELECTED AND TRAINING
INITIATED. THE MARCH 1980 PERRY MEMORANDUM WITHDREW THE PROGRAM
6 MONIES SUPPORTING PSYCHOENERGETIC R&D EFFORTS, BUT IT DID NOT
PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS. IN 1981, THE ACSI TRANSFERRED TOTAL
MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECT TO INSCOM. ALSO IN
1981, A JOINT SERVICES GRILL FLAME COMMITTEE, CONSISTING OF DIA,
THE AIR FORCE AND ARMY WAS FORMED. THE NAVY EXPRESSED NO
INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS, AND LATER THE AIR
FORCE CHIEF OF STAFF DIRECTED THAT THE AIR FORCE WITHDRAW FROM
THE COMMITTEE AND ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROGRAMS. THIS JOINT
SERVICES EFFORT WAS FORMED TO IMPLEMENT A 3-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND
USEFULNESS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS, AND ASSESS THE THREAT THESE
PHENOMENA POSED TO NATIONAL SECURITY. WITHIN THIS JOINT
SERVICES PROGRAM, THE ROLES OF DIA AND ARMY WERE DISTINCT. DIA
WAS R&D ORIENTED AND INSCOM's 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
UNTIL THE END OF FY 82 WHEN THE BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE
SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE (SENATOR WALLOP)
CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED

Nu+'` BY THE ARMY IN THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
(NFIP). 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, SO IN THE FALL OF 1982, IN KEEPING
WITH THESE CONGRESSIONAL DESIRES AND WISHING TO MAINTAIN THE
MOMENTUM OF EFFORT ALREADY ESTABLISHED, THE 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 PROVISIONAL SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM
NICKNAMED CENTER LANE.
THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT'S HISTORY, THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT
PSYCHOENERGETICS CONSTITUTES HUMAN USE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE.

IN MARCH 1979, THE SURGEON GENERAL'S
HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH REVIEW BOARD REVIEWED THE GRILL FLAME
PROTOCOL AND CONCLUDED THAT IT REPRESENTED TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
AND VALIDATION OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER,. RATHER THAN RESEARCH
OR CLINICAL INVESTIGATION, AND AS SUCH, GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES

DID NOT REQUIRE APPROVAL FOR HUMAN USE. HOWEVER, THE BOARD
EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT FUTURE ARMY FOLLOW-ON WORK MIGHT BE
CLASSIFIED AS RESEARCH, AND AS SUCH, PLANS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
TO ESTABLISH CREDIBLE HUMAN USE REVIEW PROCEDURES TO OVERSEE
GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES.
IN NOVEMBER 1979, AFTER REVIEW OF REVISED
FOIAB5
PROTOCOLS, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES DID
CONSTITUTE HUMAN USE. SUBSEQUENTLY, IN APRIL 1980, THE UNDER
SECRETARY OF THE ARMY APPROVED THE CONTINUATION OF GRILL FLAME
ACTIVITIES.
ACSI, DA CONCURRENTLY INITIATED ACTION
TO OBTAIN SECRETARY OF THE ARMY APPROVAL TO CONDUCT GRILL FLAME
ACTIVITIES. SINCE THEN SECRETARY OR UNDER SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
APPROVAL FOR GRILL FLAME/ICLP ACTIVITIES HAS BEEN GRANTED ON 14
JANUARY 1981, 1 FEBRUARY 1982 AND 1 SEPTEMBER 1983. APPROVALS
ARE GENERALLY VALID FOR ONE YEAR.
NEXT I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVER VIEW OF INSCOM'S
OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. (CHART ON) DURING
1979, WE CONDUCTED 79 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, 43 OF WHICH WERE
Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002100180002-8

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. PERSONNEL LOSSES SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTED IN A SHARP DECLINE
OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. OVERALL, IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE
HAVE CONDUCTED OVER 750 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
MISSION.
BECAUSE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE NOT HAD A STABLE PERSONNEL SITUATION.
(CHART 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 TRAINING IN THE PROJECT. BUT BY THE END OF 1981,
PCS MOVES SEVERELY HAMPERED OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY. HAVING
BEEN DENIED NFIP FUNDING AND, THEREFORE, A TDA UNDER THE GDIP 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 FY82. OUR PERSONNEL STRENGTH AT THE
END OF FY 84 WILL BE 9 OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL AND TWO SUPPORT
PERSONNEL.

(CHART CHANGE) OUR MISSION STATEMENT REQUIRES US TO TRAIN
PERSONNEL TO PERFORM REMOTE VIEWING. TRAINING ACTUALLY BEGAN IN
1979, WITH OUR IN-HOUSE EFFORT TO INTRODUCE SELECTED INSCOM
PERSONNEL TO THE REMOTE VIEWING PROCESS. DURING 1979, WE
INTEGRATED THE SRI CONTRACTED ORIENTATION TRAINING TECHNOLOGY
INTO OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE IT IS STILL IN USE
TODAY FOR NEW PERSONNEL. 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 IS COMPOSED OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES, LECTURES,
LITERATURE REVIEW, AND OBSERVATION OF OTHERS. BY THE END OF
1980, WE BEGAN AN ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE
HEMISPHERIC SYNCHRONIZATION (HEMI-SYNC) PROCESS DEVELOPED BY
ROBERT A. MONROE AND USED AT THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED
SCIENCE IN VIRGINIA. THIS TRAINING ENABLES SOURCE PERSONNEL
(RVERS) TO ACHIEVE STATES CONDUCIVE TO PSYCHOENERGETIC
AWARENESS. THIS 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 WITH SRI. THIS

NEW COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING OR 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.
(CHART CHANGE) THE NEXT PART OF MY BRIEFING WILL COVER
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROJECTS, THEIR SPONSORS, AND OUR
SUCCESS RATIOS. 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.
IN 1979, WE CONDUCTED 7 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR 4 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 5
SPONSORS. IN 1982, OUR PRODUCTION FELL AGAIN TO JUST 11
PROJECTS AS WE ONLY HAD ONE OPERATIONAL SOURCE ASSIGNED. IN
1983, WE RECEIVED 14 PROJECTS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT "CUSTOMERS"
(USAINSCOM, CIA, NSA, ACSI, ISA, FBI/SS). To DATE IN 1984 WE
HAVE RECEIVED 7 PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF 5 CUSTOMERS.

IN SUMMARY. OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS INSCOM HAS CONDUCTED 89
COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT US GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES. OUR SUCCESSES MUST BE EXAMINED FROM TWO
PERSPECTIVES. (CHART CHANGE) OVER 85% OF OUR OPERATIONAL
MISSIONS HAVE PRODUCED ACCURATE TARGET INFORMATION. EVEN MORE
SIGNIFICANT. APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE 700 MISSION PRODUCED
USEABLE INTELLIGENCE. (CHART OFF)
MR. ATWATER WILL NOW ILLUSTRATE FOR YOU, THROUGH THE USE OF OUR
PROJECT BOOKS. CENTER LANE OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND THE USE
OF CENTER LANE INTELLIGENCE.
SIR, I NOW WILL ADDRESS OUR FUTURE.
LAST YEAR, THE CURRENT UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH
AND ENGINEERING SUSPENDED THE PROHIBITION AGAINST UTILIZING
PROGRAM 6 FUNDS AND THE ACSJ MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE THESE
FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT. THESE P6 FUNDS
ENABLED US TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS INTO AREAS WHICH HAVE BEEN
NEGLECTED OVER THE YEARS DUE TO LACK OF A SUFFICIENT FUNDING
BASE. WE HAVE CONTRACTED FOR THE FOLLOWING EXPENDITURES IN FY
84: (CHART ON)
PURCHASE OF BIOMONITORING EQUIPMENT TO BE USED TO DETERMINE

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES DURING THE CONDUCT OF PSYCHOENERGETIC
TASKS. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE INSCOM STAFF PSYCHOLOGIST TO
PURCHASE THAT EQUIPMENT, AND EXPECT TO ACQUIRE. IT BY MID-SUMMER.
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. FUNDS
NOTED ARE FOR BOTH SRI AND SRI SUBCONTRACTS.
DETERMINE THE COUNTERMEASURE 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 THIS EFFORT WOULD
BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL COUNTER-COUNTERMEASURES ENVIRONMENTS
FOR CENTER LANE SOURCES: FUNDS NOTED ARE FOR SRI AND A 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. BECAUSE 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
