MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Training Plan 1 October 1984 - 31 December 1984 (U)
1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) During the period 1 October 1984 to 31
December 1984, the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) will be
transferred to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). IAW
directives, ICLP ceased psychoenergetic intelligence collection
activities on 30 September 1984. During the period of
transition to DIA, ICLP is, however, authorized to continue
psychoenergetic training. The following training will be
conducted during the transition period:
a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRy)
CRV is a contracted form of training in psychoenergetic
perception provided by a SRI-International (SRI-I)
subcontractor, Ingo Swann, who coined the term CRV. Training is
conducted at SRI-International facilities in Menlo Park, CA and
New York, NY. Four ICLP personnel are being trained in what
have come to be known as CRV Stages I, II, and III of a
multi-stage system of psychoenergetic perception. One
additional ICLP individual, who has completed Stages I, II, III,
IV, and VI, is being trained in Stage V. This individual, who
is considered operational, is expected to complete Stage V
training before the end of November 1984. Personnel training in
Stages I, II, III are ICLP initiates and as such have not
achieved a sufficient level of expertise to be operationally
employed. Having completed Stages I and II, these four
personnel will begin Stage III training on 22 October 1984.
They are expected (required by contract) to complete Stage III
by the end of December 1984. It is anticipated and recommended

that Ingo Swann CRV training will be continued with these
trainees, specifically Stages IV, V, and VI. They have adapted
well to the Swann training model and continuation would be in
the best interests of the individuals involved and the
operational requirements of DIA.
b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) In-house Remote Viewing.
In-house remote viewing training is conducted by
knowledgeable personnel within ICLP. Training is based on the
application of years of experience culled together from academic
insight, scientific experiments, and operational applications.
It is the principle means through which technology has been
transferred from contractors to the ICLP. Two ICLP personnel
are presently involved in a CRV phase of in-house remote viewing
training in which basic principles drawn from the Ingo Swann CRV
methodology in conjunction with time tested practices of the
ICLP are being applied. The purpose of this in-house training
is to introduce newly assigned personnel to psychoenergetics,
identify psychoenergetic abilities, and develop recommendations
for further training/utilization.
c. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Abstract Referents Discrimination of
----------------------------
Binary-Alternatives (ARDBA_
Two separate sponsors have asked if ICLP sources could
compromise existing cryptographic systems. To address this
question, a complex program of training/testing has been
implemented. Phase one of this program will determine if ICLP
sources have the ability to discriminate between binary
alternatives to a statistically significant level. If a source
with this ability can be identified, he will enter phase two of
the program which will test an ICLP source's ability to
discriminate between binary alternatives given different levels
of feedback. This program phase will serve to enhance an
identified ability as well as develop an internalized feeling of
confidence within the source. During the third phase of the
program the ICLP source's ability to discriminate between binary
alternatives in response to given abstract referents will be
identified and developed. In order to satisfy the identified
operational requirement (compromise existing cryptographic
systems), an ICLP source must be able to accurately discriminate
between binary alternatives given a complex abstract referent
cuing system. Once these training stages have been completed an
in-house pilot project can be conducted. In this project an
attempt might be made to decode a randomly developed sequence of
numbers contained in a sealed envelope. If the pilot project is
successful, sponsors can be asked to provide their own
cryptographic information for attempted decoding and compromise
by ICLP sources. Two ICLP sources are presently involved in
this ARDBA training.

2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The week of 1 to 5 October 1985, four
coordinate remote viewing (CRV) trainees completed Stage II and
one trainee worked on Stage V at the SRI-I New York office.
During the same period, two trainees were involved in in-house
CRV and binary discrimination training. SRI-I CRV training
details are on file with the SRI-I subcontractor in New York and
under separate cover as trip reports in the CENTER LANE (CL)
office at Fort Meade. Results of in-house training show promise
and are on file under separate cover in the CL office at Fort
Meade.
3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) From 9 to 19 October 1985, in-house
validation of SRI-I CRV training yielded positive results.
Sessions are on file at the CL office. All SRI-I CRV trainees
exceeded expected goals. During the same period, two trainees
were involved in in-house CRV and binary discrimination
training. Results of in-house training are on file under
separate cover in the CL office at Fort Meade.
4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Comment on in-house training: Although
training in CRV is very slow, progress is definitely evident.
Both of the trainees have demonstrated an ability to remote view
and have responded to training designed to enhance that
ability. The trainees are motivated, eager, and ready to
continue CRV training. Binary discrimination training is also
slow but both trainees have exhibited results exceeding chance
probability. Their goal will be to stabilize and gain control
of this ability.
Association of the below named individual with military
intelligence is classified CONFIDENTIAL.
