SEC ARMY BRIEFING
INTRODUCTION
GOOD MORNING SIR, I AM LTC BUZBY, PROJECT MANAGER FOR INSCOM
PROJECT CENTER LANE. CENTER LANE IS AN ARMY SPECIAL COLLECTION
PROGRAM THAT UTILIZES PSYCHOENERGETICS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS
BRIEFING IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH BACKGROUND INFORMATION
CONCERNING INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES USING THE CENTER LANE
TECHNIQUE. I WILL DISCUSS THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM, OUR
MISSIONS AND ORGANIZATION, EXAMPLES OF COMPLETED COLLECTION
PROJECTS, AND OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
SECURITY INDOC
(CHART ON)..A. HISTORY: SINCE 1972, THE US GOVERNMENT,
INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN
EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. THREE SPECIFIC
ASPECTS OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA WERE OF INTEREST: REMOTE VIEWING
whtc.4
(CLAIRVOYANCE), PSYCHOKINESIS AND REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS R
T` EIk HY. IN THE EARLY 1970s SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR
PSYCHOENERGETICS, PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF REMOTE VIEWING AS AN
INTELLIGENCE GATHERING TOOL, RECEIVED GREAT IMPETUS FROM WHAT
CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS ASTOUNDING SUCCESSES IN REMOTE VIEWING
RESEARCH BY TWO LASER PHYSICISTS AT SRI INTERNATIONAL. USING
SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC SUBJECTS, THE SCIENTISTS

CONDUCTED A SERIES OF CIA-SPONSORED TESTS. MUCH DETAILED.
ACCURATE INFORMATION. SOME OF IT PREVIOUSLY UNREPORTED. WAS
PROVIDED ABOUT A SECRET NSA FACILITY. THE SOVIET R&D FACILITY IN
SEMIPALITINSK (SEMI -POLY-TINSK).
(THESE PSYCHIC
IMPRESSIONS WERE CONFIRMED BY HUMINT AND NATIONAL TECHNICAL
SOURCES. BECAUSE OF THESE ORIGINAL TESTS. THE LAST DECADE OF
WORK CENTERED ON REMOTE VIEWING. SINCE THOSE ORIGINAL TESTS.
THE CIA SUSPENDED THEIR ACTIVE ROLE IN PSYCHOENERGETIC
ACTIVITIES FOR "POLITICAL" REASONS. BUT HAVE CONTINUED TO
MAINTAIN A HIGH STATE OF INTEREST IN ALL ON-GOING WORK BECAUSE
OF OBVIOUS DEFENSE APPLICATIONS. DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME THE
MILITARY SERVICES AND DIA HAVE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER BEEN
INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS PSYCHOENERGETICS TESTS. MOST OF THEM
APPLICATIONS ORIENTED.
B. US ARMY INTERESTS: THE U.S. ARMY'S INTEREST IN
PSYCHOENERGETICS GOES BACK TO 1972. WHEN THE SURGEON GENERAL
THROUGH THE MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION AGENCY (MIIA).
TOGETHER WITH DIA. PUBLISHED STUDIES OF SOVIET BLOCK WORK. IN
1976. THE MISSILE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (MIA) INFORMALLY EXPRESSED
INTEREST IN US REPLICATION OF CLAIMED SOVIET EXPERIMENTS IN
PSYCHOKINESIS. SRI DEVELOPED A SMALL PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN
AUGUST 1977 MIA AWARDED SRI AN $80K ONE-YEAR R&D CONTRACT.
DURING THE SAME TIME. ANOTHER DARCOM AGENCY. THE ARMY MATERIAL
SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AGENCY WAS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF
REMOTE VIEWING CONCEPTS WITH SRI. THESE EFFORTS CONTINUED
THROUGH FY 1980. IN MARCH 1980, WILLIAM J. PERRY. THEN

UNDERSECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING, ORDERED
CURTAILMENT OF ALL P6 MONIES SUPPORTING THE PROGRAM, BUT POSED
NO OBJECTION TO CONTINUANCE OF NON-R&D INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS
EFFORTS. THIS ACTION EVENTUALLY CAUSED DARCOM TO CEASE ALL
ACTIVITY.
C. INSCOM INVOLVEMENT: IN SEPTEMBER 1977, AN INSCOM ELEMENT
IMPLEMENTED THE GONDOLA WISH PROGRAM WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO
INTEGRATE THE SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN PSYCHOENERGETIC
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION THREAT INTO THE ALL-SOURCE OPERATIONS
SECURITY (OPSEC) SUPPORT SCENARIO. [THE CONCEPT WAS TO TRAIN MI
PERSONNEL TO MIMIC SOVIET INTELLIGENCE COLLECTORS, AND THEN
UTILIZE THESE TRAINED PERSONNEL TO DEMONSTRATE THE
PSYCHOENERGETIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION THREAT, IDENTIFY
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION (EEFI) EXPLOITABLE BY
PSYCHOENERGETIC MEANS, DETERMINE VULNERABILITIES, AND RECOMMEND
AND DEVELOP COUNTERMEASURES] BY SPRING OF 1978, SUFFICIENT
EVIDENCE EXISTED TO WARRANT SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BY THE ARMY
ACSI FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM TO EXPLORE MILITARY
APPLICATIONS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. THE ACSI. ~_N-C 'O ON1
BECAME THE FOCAL POINT IN DEVELOPING A PROGRAM WITHIN THE ARMY.
THE ACSI CANCELLED THE GONDOLA WISH EFFORT, PLACED A COMPLETE
SECURITY ENVELOPE OVER ARMY'S INTEREST IN PSYCHOENERGETICS, AND
IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROGRAM DIRECTED TOWARDS INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION. THE NEW EFFORT WAS GIVEN THE UNCLASSIFIED NICKNAME
GRILL FLAME. IN OCTOBER 1978, ACSI TASKED INSCOM TO ESTABLISH A
PROGRAM USING PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS

UTILIZING REMOTE
VIEWING (RV). IN RESPONSE TO THIS CG. INSCOM PROVIDED THE
FOLLOWING MISSION STATEMENT:
(CHART CHANGE) ESTABLISH A TRAINING PROGRAM IN RV UTILIZING
SELECTED INSCOM PERSONNEL.
ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
TECHNIQUES UTILIZING RV.
ESTABLISH A MECHANISM FOR RESPONDING TO INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS (TASKING) USING RV.
(CHART CHANGE) GIVEN THIS DIRECTIVE THE INSCOM GRILL FLAME
PROJECT BEGAN. BY APRIL 1979. INSCOM HAD AWARDED A $75K
CONTRACT TO SRI FOR REMOTE VIEWING ORIENTATION TRAINING; BY MID
1979 THE PROJECT WAS PROGRESSING RAPIDLY. INSCOM INVOLVEMENT
DURING 1980 WAS DEVOTED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO OPERATIONAL 60#0
MISSIONS. ON 13 JANUARY 1981, THE UNDER SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
FORMALIZED INSCOM'S EFFORTS BY APPROVING THE CONTINUATION OF THEE

FOR THE ARMY GRILL FLAME EFFORT WERE TRANSFERRED TO INSCOM.
ALSO IN 1981. A JOINT SERVICES GRILL FLAME COMMITTEE. CONSISTING
OF DIA, THE AIR FORCE AND THE ARMY, WAS FORMED. THE NAVY
EXPRESSED NO INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS. AND

LATER THE AIR FORCE CHIEF OF STAFF DIRECTED THAT THE AIR FORCE
WITHDRAW FROM THE COMMITTEE AND ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROGRAMS.
THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT INTENDED TO IMPLEMENT A 3-YEAR
COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE OPERATIONAL
PARAMETERS AND USEFULNESS OF PSYCHOENERGETICSJ AND ASSESS THE
THREAT THESE PHENOMENA POSED TO NATIONAL SECURITY. THE ROLES OF
DIA AND ARMY WERE DISTINCT. LDIA ISSUED JOINT SERVICE CONTRACTS
TO ACCOMPLISH THE REQUIRED EXTERNAL SUPPORT. CHAIRED THE GRILL
FLAME COMMITTEE. PROVIDED PROGRESS REPORTS TO APPROPRIATE HIGH
LEVEL DECISION MAKERS. ADDITIONALLY. DIA BEGAN ASSESSING THE
THREAT. DETERMINING COUNTERMEASURES, AND DETERMINING THE
POTENTIAL OF REMOTE VIEWING USING EXPERIENCED RVERS2 DIA'S R&D
EFFORT WAS PRIMARILY ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH CONTRACTS WITH SRI .
THE ARMY'S INSCOM GRILL FLAME PROJECT WAS TO USE REMOTE VIEWING
AS AN OPERATIONAL TECHNIQUE TO COLLECT INTELLIGENCE AND TO
DETERMINE IF REMOTE VIEWING COULD BE LEARNED BY PROFESSIONAL
INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL WHO WERE NOT "ESTABLISHED PSYCHICS."
INSCOM PARTICIPATED IN THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT FOR FYS 81 AND
82. THEN THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE SENATOR
WALLOP] CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES
CONDUCTED BY THE ARMY IN THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
PROGRAM (NFIP) AT THE END OF FY 1982. THE CONGRESSIONAL
CONFEREES AGREED. HOWEVER. TO LET DIA COMPLETE THE THIRD YEAR OF
THEIR EFFORT AND DIRECTED THAT FUTURE FUNDING -- IF ANY -- OF
THIS PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITY BE BUDGETED OUTSIDE THE NFIP. IN
KEEPING WITH THESE CONGRESSIONAL DESIRES AND WISHING TO MAINTAIN

ESTABLISHED, CG INSCOM DECIDED TO CONTINUE INSCOM'S PROJECT AND
PROVIDE FUNDING WITH SECURITY AND INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES
(S&IA) MONIES. INSCOM TERMINATED FORMAL INVOLVEMENT WITH GRILL
FLAME AT THE END OF FY 82, AND CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS UNDER A NEW
PROGRAM NICKNAMED CENTER LANE. CENTER LANE EXISTS TODAY AS AN
APPROVED SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM (SAP).` WE COOPERATE WITH DIA,
BUT ARE SEPARATELY FUNDED AND MANAGED OUTSIDE THE GDIP.,
PART 1
A. OPERATIONAL MISSIONS:
YOU CnMF Fvnnnoi r~~__l1~ SR I'Fi-e
NOW I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN
OVER VIEW OF INSCOM'S OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST FIVE
YEARS. (GRAPH ON) DURING 1979. WE CONDUCTED 79 OPERATIONAL
MISSIONS. 43 OF WHICH WERE DEDICATED TO ASSISTING THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DURING THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS. DURING
1980. AFTER WE ACQUIRED OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE. OUR OWN SEPARATE
FACILITIES. AND INCREASED MANPOWER. WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE OUR
PRODUCTION TO 386 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. 154 OF WHICH WERE STILL
DEDICATED TO IRAN. IN 1981. WE PRODUCED 153 OPERATIONAL
MISSIONS WITH ONLY 6 DEDICATED TO IRAN HOSTAGE REQUIREMENTS.
DURING THE LAST HALF OF 1981. PERSONNEL LOSSES RESULTED IN A
SHARP DECLINE OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. A SITUATION THAT
CURRENTLY EXISTS. DURING THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1983 WE HAVE
CONDUCTED 47 MISSIONS. IN SUMMARY. IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS
Approved For Release 2003/09/16 6CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2
 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2
WE HAVE CONDUCTED 700 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
MISSIONS. A CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF THESE (OVER 200) WERE IN
SUPPORT OF THE IRAN SITUATION. WHICH THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
RATED AS BEING QUALITATIVELY EQUAL TO THOSE OF OTHER
INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM.
B. WITH REGARD TO PERSONNEL:
(GRAPH CHANGE) IN 1979. CG INSCOM FORMED A TASK FORCE
CONSISTING OF 5 PERSONNEL: A PROJECT MANAGER. AN
OPERATIONS/TRAINING OFFICER. A SECRETARY. AND TWO SOURCES
(RVERS). IN 1980, TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE
ASSIGNED. BY 1981. WE WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITED 2 NEW
PERSONNEL FOR THE PROJECT. BUT BY THE END OF 1981. PCS MOVES
SEVERELY HAMPERED OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY. IN 1982 AND 1983.
WE REMAINED STATIC IN OUR PERSONNEL SITUATION UNTIL RECENTLY.
OUR CURRENT FULL TIME STRENGTH IS SHOWN ON THE GRAPH.
ADDITIONALLY. WE HAVE TWO PART TIME SOURCES. IN JANUARY 1984.
ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WILL BE ASSIGNED. WITH AN ADDITIONAL ASSET
SCHEDULED FOR ASSIGNMENT IN MAY 1984. WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE
RECRUITING/SCREENING PROGRAM AND LOOK FORWARD TO GROWING RAPIDLY
AND INCREASING OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES ONCE WE OBTAIN
APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL SPACES AND FUNDING.
C. TRAINING:
OUR MISSION STATEMENT REQUIRES US TO TRAIN PERSONNEL TO PERFORM

REMOTE VIEWING. I WILL NOW PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF OUR
TRAINING EFFORT FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. (GRAPH CHANGE)
TRAINING ACTUALLY BEGAN IN 1979, WITH OUR IN-HOUSE EFFORT TO
INTRODUCE SELECTED INSCOM PERSONNEL TO THE REMOTE VIEWING
PROCESS. WE BEGAN WITH 12 POTENTIAL TRAINEES FROM WHICH 6 WERE
SELECTED FOR ORIENTATION TRAINING AT SRI , l.ff...`t'i'~N TQ"` _ ~
~6 At ff-&RNI* DURING 1979, WE INTEGRATED THE SRI ORIENTATION
TRAINING TECHNOLOGY INTO OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE IT
IS STILL IN USE TODAY FOR NEW PERSONNEL. DURING THE FIRST HALF
OF 1980, LITTLE OR NO FORMAL TRAINING WAS CONDUCTED BECAUSE OF
OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS AND LACK OF FUNDING. LATER IN 1980,
IN-HOUSE TRAINING BECAME NECESSARY TO DEVELOP SOURCE (RVERS)
ABILITIES TO RESPOND TO OPERATIONAL TASKING. BY THEN OUR
OPERATIONAL COMMITMENTS EXTENDED BEYOND THE CAPABILITIES
DEVELOPED AS A RESULT OF THE SRI ORIENTATION TRAINING. OUR
IN-HOUSE TRAINING DEVELOPED FROM THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOENERGETIC TECHNOLOGY DRAWN FROM ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS, SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES, AND RESEARCH
ESTABLISHMENTS AROUND THE WORLD. WE TOOK AN ECLECTIC APPROACH:
USING THOSE METHODS WHICH HAD APPLICATIONS POTENTIAL TO OUR
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. IN-HOUSE TRAINING, ie" Nb
L17 rUQ Q
IS COMPOSED OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES, LECTURES, RE*Dt+G
S. AND OBSERVATION OF OTHERS. BY THE END OF 1980, WE
BEGAN AN ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE HEMISPHERIC
SYNCHRONIZATION PROCESS DEVELOPED BY ROBERT A. MONROE AND USED
AT THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED SCIENCE, FABER, VIRGINIA.
THIS ADVANCED TRAINING ENABLES SOURCE PERSONNEL (RVERS) TO
ACHIEVE STATES CONDUCIVE TO PSYCHOENERGETIC AWARENESS. THIS

ADVANCED TRAINING IS BEING FURTHER REFINED AND CONTINUES TO BE
USED TODAY. IN MID 1982, WE BEGAN A NEW TRAINING PROGRAM IN
COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING (CRV) WITH SRI. THIS NEW CRV TRAINING
PROCESS SUBDIVIDES THE DETECTION AND DECODING OF PSYCHIC
IMPRESSIONS INTO DISCRETE, ACHIEVABLE SKILL LEVELS. THIS
PROCESS HOLDS GREAT PROMISE FOR REFINING RV AND GIVES US A
METHOD BY WHICH WE CAN BRING NEW SOURCE PERSONNEL UP TO AN
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE LEVEL WITH MINIMAL DRAIN ON OUR LIMITED
IN-HOUSE RESOURCES. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL
CONTRACTORS TO ASSIST US IN MAINTAINING STATE-OF-THE-ART
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE.
D. WITH REGARD TO FUNDING:
(GRAPH CHANGE) I N 1979, THE TOTAL COST TO INSCOM EEtt1'D11V'G
S AR I ~ ) WAS $87K, $75K OF WHICH WENT TO SRI FOR ORIENTATION UtjVi
TRAINING. IN 19801 INSCOM's COSTS FOR THE PROJECT WERE ONLY `1QUt
$42K AND THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL CONTRACTS. IN 1981, FUNDING
LEVELS WERE INCREASED TO PERMIT INSCOM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
SPC-NT
JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM WITH DIA. OF THE $201K $' IN 1981,
$190K WENT TO EXTERNAL CONTRACTS WITH SRI IN SUPPORT OF THE
JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM AND OUR OWN REQUIREMENTS. 1982 WAS THE
SECOND AND LAST YEAR OF INSCOM's SUPPORT TO THE JOINT SERVICES
PROGRAM DUE TOgtCONGRESSIONAL GUIDANCE FROM SENATOR WALLOP'S
COMMITTEE. OF THE TOTAL $245K COSTS FOR 1982, $125K WAS
S PE4,T
D IN SUPPORT OF THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT AND $99K FOR
WORD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT. THE $128K FY X83 BUDGET SAW THE

BEFORE I CAN WITH THE BRIEFING. I WILL SUMMERIZE THE LAST FIVE
YEARS OF INSCOM'S EFFORT IN PSYCHOENERGETICS BY STATING THAT WE
HAVE CONDUCTED 700 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS
IN SUPPORT OF 89 COLLECTION PROJECTS. AND MANAGED FOUR SOURCE
TRAINING PROGRAMS -- ALL WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONNEL AND
AT A COST TO DATE OF ONLY $703K. THOSE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
MISSIONS HAVE RESULTED IN 3 "INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FIRSTS."

PART 2
1HE NEXT PART OF MY BRIEFING WILL COVER INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
PROJECTS, THEIR SPONSORS, AND OUR SUCCESS RATIOS. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONE COLLECTION PROJECT MAY REQUIRE ONE OR
MANY OPERATIONAL MISSIONS TO SATISFY ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF
INFORMATION (EEI). THE IRAN PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, REQUIRED OVER
200 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS.
A. COLLECTION PROJECTS (OVERVIEW): (GRAPH ON) IN 1979, WE
CONDUCTED 7 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR FOUR SEPARATE SPONSOR
AGENCIES. IN 1980, WE CONDUCTED 41 PROJECTS FOR 6 SPONSOR
AGENCIES. IN 1981, AS MANPOWER CONSTRAINTS BEGAN TO LIMIT OUR
CAPABILITY, WE CONDUCTED ONLY 20 PROJECTS FOR FIVE SPONSORS. IN
1982, OUR PRODUCTION FELL AGAIN TO JUST 11 PROJECTS AS WE ONLY
HAD ONE OPERATi ONAL SOURCE ASSIGNED. SO FAR IN 1983, WE HAVE 10
PROJECTS, SOME OF WHICH REMAIN ACTIVE.
IN SUMMARY, OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS INSCOM HAS CONDUCTED 89
COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT US GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES. OUR SUCCESS AT ACHIEVING THE GOALS OUTLINED IN OUR
MISSION STATEMENT MUST BE EXAMINED FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES.
(GRAPH CHANGE) FIRST OF--L, OF THE 700 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS,
OVER 85% HAVE PRODUCED INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE TARGET SITE.
BUT NOT ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WAS OF INTELLIGENCE VALUE. IN
ASSESSING RV AS AN INTELLIGENCE TOOL, APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE
700 MISSIONS PRODUCED INFORMATION OF TRUE INTELLIGENCE VALUE.

A. FUTURE FUNDING: (LEAD-IN TO NEXT FIVE YEARS)
,PLC, p-o?fe$5 yrQ
RECENTLY. THE PROHIBITION AGAINST UTILIZING PROGRAM 6 FUNDS WAS
SUSPENDED BY THE CURRENT UNDERSECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH
AND ENGINEERING AND THE ACSI HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE THESE
FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT. THIS WILL
ENABLE US TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS INTO AREAS WHICH HAVE BEEN
NEGLECTED OVER THE YEARS DUE TO LACK OF A SUFFICIENT FUNDING
BASE. WE PLAN THE FOLLOWING EXPENDITURES FOR FY 1984: (CHART ON)
PURCHASE OF BIOMONITORING EQUIPMENT TO BE USED TO
DETERMINE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES DURING THE CONDUCT OF
PSYCHOENERGETIC TASKS: $26.5K.
DEVELOPMENT OF A STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOLOGICAL
SCREENING/SELECTION PROFILE FOR USE IN IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL
SOURCES. SUCH A PROFILE WOULD IDENTIFY PERSONNEL WHO MAY HAVE
SOME PSYCHOENERGETIC TALENT OR WHO COULD BE TRAINED. WE PLAN TO
USE THIS STUDY TO ASSIST US IN RECRUITING NEW SOURCES: $120K
FOR SRI AND SRI SUBCONTRACTS.

 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2
DETERMINE THE COUNTERMEASURES POTENTIAL OF EXTREMELY LOW
FREQUENCY (ELF) ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. THIS EFFORT WILL
EXAMINE THE POSSIBILITY THAT CERTAIN AS YET UNIDENTIFIED ELF
RADIATIONS HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON MENTAL STATES CRITICAL
TO PSYCHOENERGETIC PERFORMANCE. THIS STUDY MAY ALSO PROVIDE
INFORMATION ON ELF ENVIRONMENTS CONDUCIVE TO OPTIMUM
PSYCHOENERGETIC PERFORMANCE. THE LOGICAL FOLLOW-ON TO THIS
EFFORT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL COUNTER-COUNTERMEASURES
ENVIRONMENTS FOR CENTER LANE SOURCES: $65K FOR SRI AND SRI
SUBCONTRACT.
DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW PSYCHOENERGETIC TECHNIQUE FOR USE
IN "SEARCH PROBLEMS." OVER THE YEARS SPONSOR AGENCIES HAVE
ASKED US TO ASSIST IN LOCATING LOST OR MISSING EQUIPMENT OR
PERSONNEL. BEACUSE THIS IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL REMOTE VIEWING
TASK WE HAVE HAD LITTLE SUCCESS AT PROVIDING TIMELY USABLE
INTELLIGENCE IN THESE CASES. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT INFORMATION
WE PROVIDED WAS INACCURATE, JUST THAT IT WAS NOT DIRECTLY USABLE
TO RESOLVE THE INTELLIGENCE PROBLEM AT HAND. IF IN FACT A NEW
PSYCHOENERGETIC "SEARCH PROBLEM" TECHNIQUE IS DEVELOPED, WE
WOULD ANTICIPATE TRAINING SOURCE PERSONNEL IN THIS TECHNIQUE
BECAUSE "SEARCH PROBLEMS" CONTINUE TO BE PRIORITY TASKS RECEIVED
BY THIS OFFICE: $175K FOR SRI.
CONTINUATION OF COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING TRAINING AT
ENHANCED LEVELS FOR ONE SOURCE: $4OK FOR SRI AND SRI CONSULTANT.

 Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2
INITIATION OF CRV TRAINING FOR THREE NEW SOURCE
PERSONNEL: $70K FOR SRI AND SRI CONSULTANT.
THIS $496.5K P6 MONEY WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED BY $235K INSCOM S&IA
FUNDS WHICH WILL BE USED FOR TRAVEL AND SUPPORT FUNCTIONS.
BECAUSE THIS P6 FUNDING BASE HAS SO RECENTLY BECOME AVAILABLE TO
US, FINAL BUDGET PLANS FOR FYs 85-89 ARE STILL BEING
FORMULATED. HAVING THE MOST IMPACT ON OUR PLANS IS THE FACT
THAT THE CG INSCOM HAS JUST PROVIDED US WITH A NEW CENTER LANE
MISSION STATEMENT: (CHANGE CHART)
CONDUCT INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
OPERATIONS UTILIZING ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROCESSES APPLICABLE.
TRAIN SELECTED PERSONNEL IN STATE-OF-THE-ART
PSYCHOENERGETIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
TECHNIQUES.
EXPAND OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND TRAINING BEYOND THE
CONFINES OF INFORMATION COLLECTION INTO THE FIELDS OF
PSYCHOENERGETIC COMMUNICATION AND PSYCHOKENESIS.
THIS NEW MISSION STATEMENT EXPANDS OUR EFFORT A GREAT DEAL. WE
ARE NO LONGER CONFINED TO REMOTE VIEWING AS OUR PRINCIPAL TOOL
AND WILL NOW DEVELOP AND USE TELEPATHIC AND PSYCHOKINETIC
SKILLS. OUR FINAL FY 85-89 BUDGET PLANS WILL BE DESIGNED TO
MEET THE DEMANDS OF OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT. (LOGO)

B. FUTURE PERSONNEL:
HAVING BEEN DENIED NFIP FUNDING AND, THEREFORE, A TDA BY
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION, CG, INSCOM HAS PROVIDED OUT-OF-HIDE
PERSONNEL SPACES IN SUPPORT OF CENTER LANE SINCE THE LOSS OF
THIS FUNDING AT THE END OF FY 82. NO BUDGET SUBMISSION WAS MADE
TO OBTAIN S&IA FUNDED PERSONNEL SPACES BECAUSE ACSI EXPECTED TO
GET NFIP APPROVAL IN THEIR FY 85 GDIP SUBMISSION. THE FY 85
GDIP INITIATIVE WAS POSTPONED LATE LAST MONTH (29 AUG 83). Now
ACSI DOES NOT ANTICIPATE THE POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF NFIP FUNDING
UNTIL FY86. CENTER LANE CONTINUES TO OPERATE WITHIN INSCOM AS A
TASK FORCE WITH OUT TDA. WE HOPE TO HAVE THREE ADDITIONAL
TRAINEE SOURCES ASSIGNED TO US BY NEXT SPRING AND POSSIBLY TWO
MORE BY THE FOLLOWING WINTER, (LOGO)
C. COUNTERMEASURES: THE INVESTIGATION OF PSYCHOENERGETIC
COUNTERMEASURES HAS LAGGED BEHIND OTHER EFFORTS FOR ONE MAIN
REASON. DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURES REQUIRES A
BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNDERLYING MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN
PSYCHOENERGETIC PROCESSES. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INTO THESE AREAS
HAS NEVER BEEN ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED BY A FUNDING BASE. NOW THAT
Pb RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT MONEY HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED, WE
ANTICIPATE THAT A MULTI-YEAR, ADEQUATELY FUNDED BASIC RESEARCH
PROGRAM CAN BE DEVELOPED TO INVESTIGATE THE ACTUAL MECHANISM
BEHIND PSYCHOENERGETIC FUNCTIONING. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING
THAT DIA IS WORKING ON A TEN YEAR, ELEVEN MILLION DOLLAR

PROPOSAL AT THIS TIME. THE LOGICAL FALLOUT FROM SUCH A RESEARCH
EFFORT WOULD BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF: (CHART ON)
PSYCHOENERGETIC MEACONING TECHNIQUES
PSYCHOENERGETIC INTRUSION TECHNIQUES
PSYCHOENERGETIC JAMMING TECHNIQUES
PSYCHOENERGETIC DECEPTION TECHNIQUES
UNTIL SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN BE DEVELOPED. CONVENTIONAL COVER,
CONCEALMENT. AND DECEPTION MEASURES CAN BE EMPLOYED TO CONFUSE
HOSTILE PSYCHOENERGETIC COLLECTORS AND TO MISLEAD INTELLIGENCE
ANALYSTS. THERE IS NO KNOWN RELIABLE MEANS AT THIS TIME TO
DETECT OR PREVENT THE "INTRUSION" OF PSYCHOENERGETIC COLLECTORS.
D. FUTURE TRAINING: (CHART CHANGE)
CURRENT TRAINING PROGRAMS WILL CONTINUE. WE ARE INVESTIGATING A
NEW REMOTE VIEWING TRAINING METHOD WHICH WOULD TEACH SOURCES TO
ACCESS TARGET SITES BY ABSTRACT CUING WITHOUT DEPENDENCE ON
COORDINATES. WE ARE EXPANDING OUR ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM TO
MEET THE DEMANDS OF OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT. THIS EXPANSION
OF ADVANCED TRAINING WILL INCLUDE THE USE OF A SENSORY ISOLATION
TANK TO HELP REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL "NOISE" DURING OPERATIONS AND

TRAINING. WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING A TRAINING VEHICLE TO ENABLE
OPERATIONAL SOURCES TO COLLECTIVELY FOCUS PSYCHOENERGETIC
ABILITIES ON SELECTED TARGETS. DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COLLECTIVELY
FOCUSED PSYCHOENERGETICS (CFP) CAPABILITY IS CRITICAL TO FULFILL
MISSION STATEMENT REQUIREMENTS.
