(Blue TAB A).

c (S/CL-2/NOFORN) DIA and USAARDC signed an MOA on 17 August 1984 that serves
as a concept paper and gives USAMROC a cnarter to perform t@&D to validate the
psycnoenergetic phenomena. The concept provides for the use of operationai personnel
to support tne R&D effort; however, there are no USAMRDC requirements for full time
assigffaent of military intelligence personnel to USA4RDC -to support the R&D effort.
d. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Discussions to date with DIA indicated that the new OoD
psychoenergetic effort will operate under strict security. It is anticipated that
after approval of an JAOA, DIA will request OPSEC and cover support from INSCOM. Such
support is already provided to ICLP by the Security Support DetacInment, 902d AI Group
and Administrative Survey Detachment, and these organizations couid feasibly provide
similar support to the prospective DIA effort.
e. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) In pre 'paration for tihe ICLP transfer to DIA, the !CLP
manager directed the preparation of a staff study to provide the rationale oehind the
preparation of the MOA. A copy of the staff study is attached at Blue TAB a.
f. (U) The proposed MOA will: (Blue TAB C)
(1) (S/CL-2/NOFORiN) Transfer all personnel currently assigned to ICLP to
DIA. It will involve the transfer of "faces but not snaces.11
(2) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all ICLP documents -to DIA..
(3) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Transfer all equipment, maintenance contracts, rental
agreements and or) hand supplies to DIA.
(4) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Permit the transfer of the two office buildings
currently occupied by ICLP to DIA. This will be accomplished by an ISSA between DIA
and Fort Meade after the effective date of the MOA.
g. (S/C(--2/NOFORN) It i's recognized and accepted that the deactivation of ICLP
arid its subsequent transfer to DIA will be a major task. With a positive approach
and complete cooperation from the INSCOM staff, however, the transfer can be
accomplished with INSCOM's best interests in mind and minimum disruption to ICLP
operations.
h. (U) Recommend that after review and approval by CG, INSCOM, the' 1AOA be
forwarded unsigned to OACSI, DA as a concept paper for their coordination and
approval (a suggested cover letter has been drafted, and is attached at Blue TAB D),
CG, INSCOA could then sign the MOA when it is returned upon completion of the OACSI
action.
(U) WHAT THiS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH:
a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Satisfy requirement to cancel INSCUA's involvement in
psychoenergetics.
b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Permit the Intelligence Community to cuntinue-to use
psychoenergetics as an intelligence collection tool.
