c. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) INSCOM's use of MIAS which included an
explanation of RAPT training, the CENTER LANE use of Mr. Monroe
in a personal services contract, the number of INSCOM personnel
who have attended RAPT training, and the number of CENTER LANE,
personnel who have received Hemi-Sync training. I placed
emphasis on the point that RAPT was a screening vehicle for.
selection of personnel for future integration into the CENTER
LANE Program. Also included in the discussion was a brief
explanation of a current CENTER LANE project and the use of the remote viewing process in intelligence collection and how the ``
Monroe "one-on-one" training refined the remote viewing process.
d. (S/CL-4/NOFORN) After the explanation of the
"one-on-one" Hemi-Sync training for CENTER LANE sources, the
Secretary asked if the training was in violation of
Congressional directives on human experimentation. Mr. Atwater
stated that the individual that received the training signed a
statement of informed consent form as required by Department of
the Army and Department of Defense directives. LTC Fox then
reviewed the DA and DoD legal review process that lead to the
Secretary's approval of CENTER LANE as a human use project. I
added that all personnel associated with CENTER LANE signed an
informed consent form. I concluded the discussion by telling
the Secretary I guaranteed that CENTER LANE human use procedures
were correct and in compliance with appropriate directives and
regulations. The Secretary added "good."
e. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) LTC Fox, Mr. Atwater and I then
responded to the Secretary's questions on whether we had met Mr.
Monroe and what our impressions of him and the MIAS were. All
three individuals provided positive responses.
3. (U) The Secretary concluded the discussions at
approximately 1435 hours. He thanked the participants and
stated he would see them again soon.
4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) After discussions with the Secretary, LTC
Fox, Mr. Atwater and LTC Buzby met with LTC Brewer from 1435 to
1505 hours. The purpose of the meeting was to determine the
status of the Secretary's current interest in Monroe, CENTER
LANE and the Monroe process. LTC Brewer anticipated that the
Secretary would probably request additional information on MIAS
and he wanted to be prepared to respond to that request. I
recommended that if the Secretary wanted additional information
on MIAS that he should consider a visit to the Institute and a
"one-on-one" session with Mr. Monroe. I offered to set up such
a meeting if that was desired. I recommended that it be no less

than two days. LTC Brewer accepted the offer and indicated he
would contact us later. LTC Brewer was unable to provide a
definitive reason that explained the Secretary's current
interest in the Monroe Institute or MIAS training. He did state
that the Secretary has had an interest in individual personal
improvement for many years and the current interest was just a
fall-out of that interest.
