~;. (S/CL_-2/NOFORN) ILIA once USF~~~1~DC signed an MOA are 17 Au~~ust 1984 that-:serves
as a concept paper and gives USAMRtJC a charter to perform RED to validate the
psycr~oenergetic phenomena. The concept provides far the use of operational personnel
to support the Fd&D effort; however, there are r-ao USAMRDC requirements for full time
assignrrrent of military intelligence personnel to USa~~3DC ~ta sup~~ort the R1~D effort.
d. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Discussions to date with DIA indicated treat the new UaD
psychoenergetic effort will operate under strict security. It is anticipated that
after approval, of an i~lOA, DIA will .request OPSt~C and cover support from INSG~~. Such
support is already provided to ICLP by the Security Support Detachment, 902d ~~6I Group
and Administrative Survey Detachment, and these organizations could feasibly provide
similar support to the p.raspective DIA effort.
e. (S/CL--2/NOFORN) In preparation for the ICLP transfer to DIA, the ICLP
manager directed the preparation of a staff study to provide the rationale pehind the
preparation of the MOA. A copy of the staff study is attached at e31ue TAi3 B.
f, (U) Tr7e proposed i~10A wi11: (B1ue TAB C)
(1) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all personnel currently assigned to ICLP to
DIA. It will involve the transfer of "Faces but not sraaces."
(2) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all ICLP documents to DIA,.
(:3) (S/CL-~/NOFORiV) Transfer all equipment, maintenance contracts, rental
agreements and on hand supplies to DIA.
(4) (S/CL-2/P~fOFOWV) Permit the transfer. of the two ofi""'ice buildir~rgs
currently occupied by ICLP to DTA. TI7is will be accomplished by an ISSA between DIA
and Fort Meade after the effective date of tr7e MOE1.
g. CS/C~_-2/NOFORN) It is recognized ar7d accepted that the deactivation of ICLP
acid its subsequent transfer to DIA wi11 be a major task. With a positive approach
and complete cooperation from the INSCOM staff, however, the transfer can be
accomplished with INSCt~i' s best interests irr mind and minimum disruption to ICLP
operations.
h. (U) Recommend that after review and approval by CG, INSCOM, the' ~~OA be
forwarded unsigned to OACSI, DA as a concept paper far their coordination and
approval (a suggested cover letter has been drafted, and is attached at Glue TAD D).
CG, INSC0~1 could then sign the MOA tivhen it is returned open completion of the DACSI
action.
(U ) Wt~A~T THIS ACTION WIl_t_ ACCOMPLISH :
a. (S/Clr-?_/NOFORN) Satisfy requirement to cancel INSCC~~I' s involvement in
psychaenergetics.
b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN} Permit the Intelligence Community to cantinue~ta use
psychaenergetics as an intelligence collection tool.
