I AM LTC BUZBY, PROJECT MANAGER FOR INSCOM PROJECT CENTER LANE.
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY OPERATIONS OFFICER, FRED
ATWATER. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BRIEFING I S TO ORIENT YOU TO A
UNIQUE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROJECT THAT USES THE CENTER LANE
TECHNIQUE. I WILL DISCUSS THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM, TRAINING,
OPERATIONS, AND OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. FOLLOWING THE
BRIEFING, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A TOUR OF OUR OPERATIONAL
BUILDING. THE OVERALL CLASSIFICATION OF THE BRIEFING IS SECRET,
CENTER LANE LEVEL 4.
SIR, CENTER LANE IS A REGISTERED DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY SPECIAL
ACCESS PROGRAM. THAT STATUS AND THE SENSITIVITY OF THE CENTER
LANE MISSION REQUIRE US TO ADHERE TO STRICT SECURITY
PROCEDURES. As PART OF THOSE PROCEDURES, WE ASK ALL PERSONNEL
WHO RECEIVE A CENTER LANE BRIEFING TO COMPLETE A SECURITY
BRIEFING CERTIFICATE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE
SENSITIVITY OF CENTER LANE INFORMATION. GENERAL SCANLON, YOU
ALREADY COMPLETED THE CERTIFICATE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
GRILL FLAME PROJECT.
(CHART 1) SIR, THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT INVOLVES THE USE
OF PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR INTELLIGENCE PURPOSES. PSYCHOENERGETICS
ARE THE PROCESSES BY WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL MAY PSYCHICALLY
INTERACT WITH OBJECTS, LOCATIONS, ORGANISMS OR EVENTS. THIS
INCLUDES SUCH DISCIPLINES AS PSYCHOKENESIS, REMOTE VIEWING, AND
REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS.

SINCE 1972, THE US GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS. IN THE EARLY 1.970's 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. REMOTE
VIEWING IS AN SRI INTERNATIONAL COINED TERM WHICH IS DEFINED AS
THE ACQUISITION AND DESCRIPTION BY MENTAL MEANS, OF INFORMATION
BLOCKED FROM ORDINARY PERCEPTION BY DISTANCE, SHIELDING OR
TIME. USING SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC SUBJECTS, THE
SCIENTISTS CONDUCTED A REVIEW 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), GUERRILLA
TRAINING BASES IN LIBYA
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.

THE US ARMY'S INTEREST IN PSYCHOENERGETICS GOES BACK TO L972.
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 PSYCHOKENESIS. SRI DEVELOPED A SMALL
PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN AUGUST L977, 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 L980. WILLIAM U.
PERRY. THEN UNDER SECRETARY 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,
(CHART CHANGE) THE US ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY COMMAND'S
INVOLVEMENT WITH PSYCHOENERGETICS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER-1977. AT
THAT TIME. 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.

BY SPRING OF 978, THE ARMY ACSI CONCLUDED THERE WAS SUFFICIENT
EVIDENCE TO WARRANT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
TO EXPLORE MILITARY APPLICATIONS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. HE
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 USING REMOTE VIEWING. THE NEW EFFORT WAS GIVEN THE
UNCLASSIFIED NICKNAME GRILL FLAME. IN OCTOBER 4-978, ACSI TASKED
INSCOM TO ESTABLISH A PROGRAM USING PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS UTILIZING REMOTE VIEWING. BY SPRING
1979, PROJECT PERSONNEL HAD BEEN SELECTED AND TRAINING
INITIATED. THE MARCHt980 PERRY MEMORANDUM WITHDREW THE PROGRAM
6 MONIES SUPPORTING PSYCHOENERGETIC R&D EFFORTS, BUT IT DID NOT
PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS. IN x"98t, THE ACSI TRANSFERRED TOTAL
MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECT TO INSCOM. ALSO IN
1.981, A JOINT SERVICES GRILL FLAME COMMITTEE, CONSISTING OF DIA,
THE AIR FORCE AND 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 WAS FORMED TO IMPLEMENT A 3-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND
USEFULNESS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS, AND ASSESS THE THREAT THESE
PHENOMENA POSED TO NATIONAL SECURITY. WITHIN THIS JOINT
SERVICES PROGRAM, THE ROLES OF DIA AND ARMY WERE DISTINCT. DIA

WAS R&D ORIENTED AND INSCOM'S 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
UNTIL THE END OF FY 82 WHEN THE BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE
SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE (SENATOR WALLOP)
CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED
BY THE ARMY IN THE NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
(NFIP). 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. SO IN THE FALL OF J.982, IN KEEPING
WITH THESE CONGRESSIONAL DESIRES AND WISHING TO MAINTAIN THE
MOMENTUM OF EFFORT ALREADY ESTABLISHED, THE 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 PROVISIONAL SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM
NICKNAMED CENTER LANE.
NEXT I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVER VIEW OF INSCOM's
OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. (CHART 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, L54 OF WHICH WERE STILL DEDICATED TO
IRAN. PERSONNEL LOSSES SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTED IN A SHARP DECLINE
OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, A SITUATION THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
OVERALL, IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE CONDUCTED MORE THAN 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.
BECAUSE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE NOT HAD A STABLE PERSONNEL SITUATION.
(CHART CHANGE) IN t979, CG INSCOM FORMED A TASK FORCE
CONSISTING OF 5 PERSONNEL: A PROJECT MANAGER, AN
OPERATIONS/TRAINING OFFICER, A SECRETARY, AND TWO SOURCES
(RVERS). IN t980, TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE
ASSIGNED. BY t9801 TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE
ASSIGNED. BY j,98L, WE WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITED 2 NEW
PERSONNEL FOR TRAINING IN THE PROJECT. BUT BY THE END OF :198L,
PCS MOVES SEVERELY HAMPERED OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY. HAVING
BEEN DENIED NFIP FUNDING AND, THEREFORE, A TDA UNDER THE GDIP 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. THE FY 85 GDIP INITIATIVE WAS

AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL SUPPORT 20 REMOTE VIEWERS. OUR
CURRENT FULL-TIME STRENGTH IS AS SHOWN ON THE CHART. WE HAVE
FOUR ADDITIONAL TRAINEE SOURCES ASSIGNED TO US BY NEXT SPRING
AND PLAN TO HAVE THREE MORE BY THE FOLLOWING WINTER.
(CHART CHANGE) OUR MISSION STATEMENT REQUIRES US TO TRAIN
PERSONNEL TO PERFORM REMOTE VIEWING. TRAINING ACTUALLY BEGAN IN
1979, WITH OUR IN-HOUSE EFFORT TO INTRODUCE SELECTED INSCOM
PERSONNEL TO THE REMOTE VIEWING PROCESS. DURING 'L9791 WE
INTEGRATED THE SRI CONTRACTED ORIENTATION TRAINING TECHNOLOGY
INTO OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE IT IS STILL IN USE
TODAY FOR NEW PERSONNEL. 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 IS COMPOSED OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES, LECTURES,
LITERATURE REVIEW, AND OBSERVATION OF OTHERS. BY THE END OF
1.980, WE BEGAN AN ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE

SCIENCE IN VIRGINIA. THIS 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 L982. WE BEGAN A NEW
TRAINING PROGRAM IN COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING WITH SRI. THIS
NEW COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING OR 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

(CHART CHANGE) THE 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.
IN 1.979, WE CONDUCTED 7 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR 4 SEPARATE
SPONSOR AGENCIES. IN 1980, WE CONDUCTED 4L PROJECTS FOR 6
SPONSOR AGENCIES. IN i98L, AS MANPOWER CONSTRAINTS BEGAN TO
LIMIT OUR CAPABILITY, WE CONDUCTED ONLY 20 PROJECTS FOR 5
SPONSORS. IN L982, OUR PRODUCTION FELL AGAIN TO JUST 1.
PROJECTS AS WE ONLY HAD ONE OPERATIONAL SOURCE ASSIGNED. IN
1.983, WE RECEIVED 14 PROJECTS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT "CUSTOMERS"
(USAINSCOM, CIA, NSA, ACSI, ISA, FBI/SS.
IN SUMMARY, OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS INSCOM HAS CONDUCTED 89
COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT US GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES. OUR SUCCESSES MUST BE EXAMINED FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES.
(CHART CHANGE) OVER 85% OF OUR OPERATIONAL MISSIONS HAVE
PRODUCED ACCURATE TARGET INFORMATION. EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT,
APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE 700 MISSIONS PRODUCED USABLE

LAST YMIML1 THE CURRENT UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH
AND ENGINEERING SUSPENDED THE PROHIBITION AGAINST UTILIZING
PROGRAM 6 FUNDS AND THE ACSI MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE THESE
FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT. THESE P6 FUNDS
ENABLED US TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS INTO AREAS WHICH HAVE BEEN
NEGLECTED OVER THE YEARS DUE TO LACK OF A SUFFICIENT FUNDING
BASE. WE HAVE CONTRACTED FOR THE FOLLOWING EXPENDITURES IN FY

PSYCHOENERGETIC TASKS.
DEVELOPMENT OF A STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOLOGICAL
