MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
MAY ii8S,
SUBJECT: Request for renewal of human use approval - ACTION MEMORANDUM (U)
(S/NF/SS-2) This request is in response to your desire for annual review of
the DIA psychoenergetics activity (enclosure 1).
(S/NF/SS-2) During 1985, DIA continued to pursue development of
psychoenergetics applications for the Intelligence Community by accepting
operational control of the USAINSCOM CENTER LANE unit. In FY 1986, 12 DIA
billets were authorized by Congress for this activity, and the CENTER LANE
unit was transferred to DIA to form the nucleus of an operational
psychoenergetics development effort. We are in the process of completing
staffing action, and should have the remaining authorized billets filled
shortly. This effort is now an approved DoD special access program (SUN
STREAK). Additional background material can be found in enclosure 2.
(S/NF/SS-2) In 1985 and into early 1986, the primary focus of SUN STREAK was
to improve psychoenergetic skills using proven training techniques. Thtkee
individuals progressed from mid-levels of training into operational training
phases. It is anticipated that select operational tasks will be pursued
during 1986, and that limited unit operational readiness can be achieved by
mid-1987.
(S/NF/SS-2) Initial applications will be limited to tasks where
psychoenergetics data complement information from other intelligence
collection sources (e.g., help narrow down search possibilities, define
general characteristics of concealed weapon systems). Psychoenergetics data
may also have potential in a tip-off role (e.g., predict new terrorist
activity). An Intelligence Community Task Coordinating Group has been
established to identify potential tasks for consideration in future SUN
STREAK operations. Members of this group are senior executives from DIA,
CIA, AIA, AF/IN, DNI, C31 and NSA.
(S/NF/SS-2) Activity of the SUN STREAK project is monitored and reviewed by
an executive-level oversight panel. This panel is chaired by Mr. D. Latham,
ASDC31. Members include Lt Gen Perroots, DR/DIA, with equivalent membership
from CIA and other intelligence agencies anticipated in the future.
DIA review(s) completed.

psychoenergetics activity so that the SUN STREAK program can continue. There
will be no change to program procedures. As required by your previous
approval action, Procedure 13, DoD Directive 5240.1-R will continue to be
followed. 14
