f
e
January 1985 (Blue TAB B). The MOA had as its intent a total trans
of personnel, operations, equipment, and responsibility. The ACST
approved the MOA on 4 October 1984, and authorized a detailing action
for a period of one year, if necessary (Blue TAB C). The MOA was
delivered to DIA for review and coordination on 10 October 1984.
b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Concurrent with and subsequent to the
preparation of the MOA, the ICLP Manager met with DIA officials to
discuss the transfer. On 19 November 1984, the ICLP Manager learned
that due to intricacies in funding, DIA could not support a total
transfer action at this time and therefore could not agree to the terms

Staff, or LTG Williams, Director, DIA, would contact MG Soyster "in the
near future" to discuss the concept of temporary detailing vice the
total transfer of ICLP at this time. The ICLP Manager informed these
DIA personnel, who supported a detailing position, of MG Soyster's
strong desire to effect a total transfer. The ICLP Manager briefed COL
Kirk and MG Soyster on these developments on 20 and 21 November 1984,
respectively.
c. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) As of 6 December 1984, DIA still intended to
request a detailing action. The memorandum at Blue TAB D explains the
basis for the DIA decision, provides rationale for a detailing action,
and addresses the impact a detailing action will have on INSCOM
resources.
d. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Recommend that CG INSCOM approve the DIA
request to detail INSCOM personnel to perform psychoenergetic
intelligence collection and counterintelligence activities. The impact
on INSCOM resources will be the loss of two TDA spaces for the period of
the detail and administrative costs (civilian salaries, word processing
equipment maintenance, and equipment rental) that are estimated to be
$60,000 for the remainder of FY 85.
(Ti) WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH:
a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Transfer the responsibility for all Doll
psychoenergetic activity to DIA.
b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Satisfy the requirement to cancel INSCOi's
involvement in psychoenergetics IAW the directive of CG INSCOM.
c. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Permit the Intelligence Community to continue
to use a proven team of highly qualified professionals in the
application of psychoenergetics as an intelligence collection and
counterintelligence tool.
