Approved For Release &E:RT6-OO788ROOl7OO34OOO2-6 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 IS TO ORIENT YOU TO A UNIQUE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROJECT THAT USES THE CENTER LANE TECHNIQUE. I WILL DISCUSS THE PROGRAM'S HISTORY, RESOURCES, 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. 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. (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. ARMY review(s) completed. Approved For Release 20 OLCRET 788ROO1700340002-6 Approved For Release :IIC114ET96-00788RO01700340002-6 OUR MISSION IS AS DEPICTED ON THIS 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. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE CENTER LANE ACTIVITIES, IT IS NECESSARY TO DISCUSS OUR HISTORY. (CHART BLANK?) SINCE 1972, THE US GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF PSYCHOENERGETICS. IN THE EARLY 1970'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 IN MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA. REMOTE VIEWING IS AN SRI INTERNATIONAL COINED TERM WHICH IS DEFINED AS THE Approved For Release 3EC:REr6OO788ROOl7OO34OOO26 Approved For Releasc. m-GRE P96-00788R001700340002-6 SG1A SG1A 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 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 PSYCHOKENESIS. SRI DEVELOPED A SMALL SG1A Approved For Releatg6b/^0 96-007888001700340002-6 t~u Approved For Releas II 6 PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN AUGUST 1977, MIA AWARDED SRI AN $801< 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 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. SG1 B (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.

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 1978, 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 MARCH 1980 PERRY MEMORANDUM WITHDREW THE PROGRAM 6 MONIES SUPPORTING PSYCHOENERGETIC R&D EFFORTS, BUT IT DID NOT PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS. IN 1981, THE ACSI TRANSFERRED TOTAL MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECT TO INSCOM. ALSO IN 1981, 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 T'E AIR FORCE WITHDRAW FROM THE COMMITTEE AND ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROGRAMS. THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT WAS FORMED Approved For Relea5----9t/C f'~P96-007888001700340002-6 Approved For Release 2 I . REP 6-00788RO01700340002-6 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 E.ND 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 1982, 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. AS A POINT OF INTEREST, DIA COMPLETED THEIR PROGRAM AT THE END OF FY Approved For Relea &G5 FiDP96-00788R001700340002-6 ZiAl 7 Approved For Release : 16-00788RO01700340002-6 83. THEY HAVE RECEIVED P-6 FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $600K, AND WILL CONTRACT WITH SRI-INTERNATIONAL IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR ADDITIONAL PSYCHOENERGETICS R&D THAT WILL EXTEND INTO FY 85. THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT'S HISTORY, THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT PSYCHOENERGETICS CONSTITUTES HUMAN USE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE, (CHART CHANGE) IN FEBRUARY 1979, THE ARMY GENERAL COUNSEL DETERMINED THAT GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES INVOLVED TESTING ON HUMAN SUBJECTS, AND RECOMMENDED THAT FURTHER ACTION BE TAKEN TO COMPLY WITH ARMY GUIDELINES ON HUMAN SUBJECT TESTING. I N MARCH 1979, THE SURGEON GENERAL'S HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH REVIEW BOARD REVIEWED THE GRILL FLAME PROTOCOL AND CONCLUDED THAT IT REPRESENTED TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND VALIDATION OF THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER, RATHER THAN RESEARCH OR CLINICAL INVESTIGATION. As SUCH, GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES DID NOT REQUIRE APPROVAL FOR HUMAN USE. HOWEVER, T'-E BOARD EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT FUTURE ARMY FOLLOW-ON WORK MIGHT BE CLASSIFIED AS RESEARCH, AND PLANS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO ESTABLISH CREDIBLE HUMAN USE REVIEW PROCEDURES TO OVERSEE GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES, IN APRIL 1979, ARMY GENERAL COUNSEL DETERMINED THAT THE ARMY COULD CONTINUE/PROCEED WITH GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES AS LONG AS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE GUIDELINES WERE FOLLOWED AND OTHER APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TAKEN. IN NOVEMBER 1979, AFTER REVIEW OF REVISED PROTOCOLS, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT GRILL Approved For Rele 0/ E\fDP96OO788ROO17OO34OOO26 t5tq 11 EGRET Approved For Release -700 3/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788 R001700340002-6 FLAME ACTIVITIES DID CONSTITUTE HUMAN USE. SUBSEQUENTLY, IN APRIL 1980, THE UNDER SECRETARY OF THE ARMY APPROVED THE CONTINUATION OF GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES. IN OCTOBER 1980, THE DOD, DIA, AND ARMY GENERAL COUNSEL JOINTLY AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE PRUDENT TO OBTAIN WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE TO CONDUCT GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES. ACSI, DA CONCURRENTLY INITIATED ACTION TO OBTAIN SECRETARY OF THE ARMY APPROVAL TO CONDUCT GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES. SINCE THEN SECRETARY OR UNDER SECRETARY OF THE ARMY APPROVAL FOR GRILL FLAME/ICLP ACTIVITIES HAS BEEN GRANTED ON 14 JANUARY 1981, 1 FEBRUARY 1982, AND 1 SEPTEMBER 1983. APPROVALS ARE GENERALLY VALID FOR ONE YEAR. THE CENTER LANE PROGRAM IS NOW REVIEWED BY THE INSCOM HUMAN TECHNOLOGY REVIEW BOARD, WHICH WILL ALLOW THE COMMAND TO INITIATE ACTION TO OBTAIN SECRETARIAL APPROVAL FOR CONTINUATION OF THE PROGRAM. WE BRIEFED THE BOARD ON 6 JUNE 1984. NEXT I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVERVIEW OF INSCOM'S OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. FOR THE SAKE OF CLARITY, I NEED TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE DESIGNATE A PROJECT, AND AN OPERATIONAL MISSION. A PROJECT, A FEW OF WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED LATER, MAY CONSIST OF ONE OR SEVERAL MISSIONS. IT IS A SPECIFIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION REQUIREMENT OF AN AGENCY, AND AS IN TRADITIONAL COLLECTION SYSTEMS, A PROJECT MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF Approved For Relea / 3CLRP96-00788R001700340002-6 Approved For Release/ 3/ ---\C RtP96-00788 R001700340002-6 INFORMATION (EEI) TO SATISFY A COLLECTION REQUIREMENT. "MISSIONS" ARE CONDUCTED TO ACQUIRE INTELLIGENCE INDICATORS PERTAINING TO EEI. (CHART ON) DURING 1979, WE CONDUCTED 79 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, 43 OF WHICH WERE DEDICATED TO ASSISTING THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DURING THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS PROJECT. 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. PERSONNEL LOSSES SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTED IN A SHARP DECLINE OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS. OVERALL, IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE CONDUCTED OVER 760 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS. BECAUSE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE NOT HAD A STABLE PERSONNEL SITUATION. (CHART 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 1980, TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE ASSIGNED. BY 1981, WE WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITED 2 NEW PERSONNEL FOR TRAINING IN THE PROJECT. BUT BY THE END OF 1981, 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 Approved For Releas R0P96-00788R001700340002-6 Approved For ReleS : P96-00788RO01700340002-6 - PERSONNEL SPACES IN SUPPORT OF CENTER LANE SINCE THE LOSS OF THIS FUNDING AT THE END OF FY 82. OUR PERSONNEL STRENGTH AT THE END OF FY 84 WILL BE 9 OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL AND TWO SUPPORT PERSONNEL. (CHART CHANGE) OUR MISSION STATEMENT REQUIRES US TO TRAIN PERSONNEL TO PERFORM PSYCHOENERGETIC TASKS. TO DATE OUR TRAINING PROGRAM HAS BEEN AIMED AT TRAINING REMOTE VIEWING SOURCES. TRAINING ACTUALLY BEGAN IN 1979, WITH OUR IN-HOUSE EFFORT TO INTRODUCE SELECTED INSCOM PERSONNEL TO THE REMOTE VIEWING PROCESS. DURING 1979, 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 1980, WE BEGAN AN ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE HEMISPHERIC SYNCHRONIZATION (HEMI-SYNC) PROCESS DEVELOPED BY ROBERT A. MONROE AND USED AT THE MONROE INSTITUTE OF APPLIED SCIENCE IN VIRGINIA. THIS TRAINING ENABLES SOURCE PERSONNEL (RVERS) TO ACHIEVE STATES Approved For Relea 00lRl*E_7fDP96-OO788 R001700340002-6 Approved For Releas = TP96-00788R001700340002-6 CONDUCIVE TO PSYCHOENERGETIC AWARENESS. IN MID 1982, WE BEGAN A NEW TRAINING PROGRAM IN COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING, OR CRV, WITH SRI. IN CRV, A SET OF COORDINATES IS USED TO DIRECT THE SOURCE TO THE TARGET OF INTEREST. THE NEW TRAINING METHODOLOGY SUBDIVIDES THE PROCESS OF PSYCHIC "SIGNAL" ACQUISITION AND DECODING INTO DISTINCT, MORE EASILY MASTERED 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. THIS NEXT CHART SHOWS OUR COSTS, LESS PERSONNEL SALARIES, FROM THE PROJECT'S INCEPTION THROUGH FY 83. (PAUSE) SIR, I REMIND YOU THAT FY'S 81 AND 82 SAW OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE JOINT PROGRAM AND, THEREFORE, AN INCREASE IN OUR EXPENDITURES. DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF INSCOM'S EFFORT IN PSYCHOENERGETICS, WE HAVE CONDUCTED OVER 700 OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS IN SUPPORT OF 92 COLLECTION PROJECTS, AND MANAGED 4 SOURCE TRAINING PROGRAMS -- ALL WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONNEL AND AT A COST TO DATE OF ONLY $703K. I WILL ADDRESS THIS YEAR'S EXPENDITURES LATER IN THE BRIEFING. Approved For Releaa / 0 .

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER 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 1979, WE CONDUCTED 7 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR 4 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 5 SPONSORS. IN 1982, OUR PRODUCTION FELL AGAIN TO JUST 11 PROJECTS AS WE ONLY HAD ONE OPERATIONAL SOURCE ASSIGNED. IN 1983, WE RECEIVED 14 PROJECTS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT "CUSTOMERS" (USAINSCOM, CIA, NSA, ACSI, ISA, FBI/SS), To DATE IN 1984 WE HAVE RECEIVED 7 PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF 5 CUSTOMERS. 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 760 MISSIONS PRODUCED USABLE INTELLIGENCE.

SIR, I NOW WILL ADDRESS OUR PRESENT POSTURE. LAST YEAR, TPE 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 84: (CHART ON). PURCHASE OF BIOMONITORING EQUIPMENT TO BE USED TO DETERMINE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES DURING THE CONDUCT OF PSYCHOENERGETIC TASKS. ACQUISITION OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS PENDING REASSESSMENT OF OUR REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN SELECTION OF THE BEST FOR OUR NEEDS. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE INSCOM STAFF PSYCHOLOGIST TO PURCHASE THAT EQUIPMENT. 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 Approved For ReleaEGETP96-007888001700340002-6 Approved For Release5OE QII96-OO788ROOl 700340002-6 SOME PSYCHOENERGETIC TALENT OR WHO COULD BE TRAINED. WE PLAN TO USE THIS STUDY TO ASSIST US IN RECRUITING NEW SOURCES. FUNDS NOTED ARE FOR BOTH SRI AND SRI SUBCONTRACTS. 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: FUNDS NOTED ARE FOR SRI AND A 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. BECAUSE 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 Approved For Relr DP96-00788RO01700340002-6 Approved For Release 20 &EC4RE91-00788RO01700340002-6 BECAUSE "SEARCH PROBLEMS" CONTINUE TO BE PRIORITY TASKS RECEIVED BY THIS OFFICE: FUNDS NOTED ARE FOR SRI. CONTINUATION OF COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING TRAINING AT ENHANCED LEVELS FOR ONE SOURCE: THE TRAINEE HAS COMPLETED 75% OF THIS TRAINING AND IS CONSIDERED OPERATIONAL. FUNDS NOTED ARE FOR SRI AND A SRI SUBCONTRACT. INITIATION OF CRV TRAINING FOR FOUR NEW SOURCE PERSONNEL. THE FOUR TRAINEES HAVE COMLETED 50 PER CENT OF THEIR TRAINING. THEY ARE SCHEDULED TO COMPLETE THE FIRST PHASE OF THEIR CRV TRAINING BY DECEMBER 1984. FUNDS NOTED ARE FOR SRI AND A SRI SUBCONTRACT. THIS P6 MONEY IS SUPPLEMENTED BY $235K INSCOM S&IA FUNDS WHICH ARE USED FOR TRAVEL AND SUPPORT FUNCTIONS. SIR, I WILL NOW ADDRESS OUR FUTURE.
