SUBJECT: WILLIAM F. BUCKLED
84-04
1.(S/CL3/NOFORN) From 21 March to 20 April. 1984, INSCOM CENTER
LANE Project (ICLP) conducted 11 Remote Viewing :interviews at
the request of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) concerning
SUBJECT. On 20 March the CIA provided ICLP with the three
following essential elements of information (EEI):
a. Determine the location of William Buckley.
b. Determine his physical and mental condition.
c. Determine the identity of his captors.
On 10 April a fourth EEI was added: Determine who the CIA should
contact to arrange for Buckley's release. A photograph of
Buckley, taken before his apprehension, was used as cuing
material for the first few remote viewing interviews. Subsequent
interviews were cued by using Buckley's name, date and place of
birth, and by a photograph of Buckley allegedly taken by his
captors. The photograph was provided ICLP by the CIA.
2.(S/CL2/NOFORN) Contact and cooperation between the CIA and
ICLP is close, constant and timely. Frequently information
provided by ICLP was "on t:he streets" in Lebanon hours after
being passed to the CIA. Much of the information provided by
ICLP has been verified later by other CIA sources. Other
information provided by ICLP will not, be able to be verified
until Buckley is returned, if then.
3.(S/CL2/NOFORN) Information provided by ICLP has been used in
three, different ways by the CIA.

a. It has been used to cue other intelligence collection
means .
b. It has been used to confirm or deny information gathered
by other collection means.
c. It has been used by CIA intelligence analysts and
collection managers to develop intelligence and to target
conventional resources.
4. (S/CL3/NOFORN) The difficulty inherent in a "search problem'
such as the Buckley case is in identifying precisely where on
the earth the object or person i once contact has been made.
During the course of the Buckley case ICL.P personnel used
several new techniques to resolve the "search problem". these
new techniques appear to have been successful and will add to
the state-of-the-art knowledge of the problem. Research is
currently ongoing in the R&D Community on the search problem.
This should offer help in this area in the future.
.5. (S/CL3-/NOFORN) No remote viewing interviews have been
conducted on the Buckley case since 20 April because the ICLP
exhausted all current leads. Additional interviews will be
conducted when the CIA provides information from other sources
which needs to be confirmed or when additional EEI is provided.
