Must be sufficiently detailed to identify the action without roseurs* to other sources.) (S/CL-2/NOFORN) ORIGIN OF ACTION: CG decision to allow transfer of operational control (OPCON) of IN OM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) to DIA. (U) DISCUSSION: a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) On 11 December 1-984, CG INSCOM approved a proposal that would allow transfer of operational control of ICLP to DIA as an alternative to the original P'lan for total transfer of TCLP to DIA (TAB A) . This proposal alters the original concept of immediate transfer of ICLP, and therefore it is necessary to notify the ACSI of the CG's decision to place ICLP OPCON to DIA. The letter at TAB B notifies the ACSI of the change in status. (U) WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH: a. Provide notification to ACSI of current Status of CENTER LANE disposition issue.

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Continual discussions with DTA management now indicate that the transfer of ICLP activities to DIA is not likely to take place by 31 December 1984. DIA has agreed to accept total responsibility for the psychoenerpetic applications and research program. However, current Congressional prohibitions against the use of NFIP resources in such a program and the critical absence of non-NFIP resources at DIA have not allowed DIA resource managers to identify personnel spaces in which to transfer the nine personnel currently assigned to ICLP. These managers, therefore, have taken the position that a detailing action is necessary if the transfer of ICLP functions is to take place. A detailing action would permit DIA to manage and operate the program without using NFIP resources since ICLP personnel are in non-NFIP spaces. Use of non-NFIP resources is an interim measure that will be resolved when Congress approves the DIA FY 86-90 GDIP initiative for a CENTER LANE follow-on. DIA has already submitted the initiative, but Congress will not review and rule on it until at least summer 1985. When Congress approves the initiative, the GDIP supported psychoenergetic program can be implemented during the first quarter FY 86. Z. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) For the above reasons on 3 December 1984, Dr. Jack Vorona, Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific and Technical Intelligence, DIA, directed the preparation of a decision paper for the Director, DIA that would support a DIA position to recommend detailing of ICLP personnel rather than a THIR E 1(3) I L V i: I'l t I % (,I);\" INSC@)'': cz- 6 December 1984 Approved For Release 2001 L03&7e@@-FMJP6-00788 ROO 1500090019-8 C! d _NZ7_Fa._.

The -aper would also suggest that LTG Williams contact MG Soyster to discuss the issue. The decision paper is sclieciuled to be submitted to LTG Nilliams on 7 December 1984. 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) My assessment of the situation concludes that a detailinp- --iction is in the best interests of the program, INSCOM, and personnel currently assigned to ICLP. Detailing w o u 1. d ,-) e rmit an early resumption of collection activities, the continuation of training, and the assumption of responsibility ',-)v DIA for man,),zemen.t of the PoD psychoenergetic program. Should Congress react negatively to the GDIP initiative, the i gether with their oersonnel involve@.' in the detailin@-@ process, to varied skills and considerable experience, would not be lost -to ]-,ISCI0I and colil,111 be reassigned to contribute positively in otlier areas of the command. 4. (S/CL-3/M0F0I.',IN) The OTIC drawback for INSCOM is the problem of "tying up" spaces occupied by the nine personnel currently assigne(A to ICLP. Recent actions, however, may ameliorate this situation. First of these is the scheduled I January 1985 autliorization of threc personiicl on the Security Systems Planning Division (SSPD), MI Battalion (Security), 902d MI Group ( the CENTER L A NI -113 cover organization) n i n eperson TDA organization. This will allow three of the current "out-of-hide" personnel to be slotted against valid positions. Second, one of the individuals involved is scheduled to PCS in July 198S, aft--r completion of a four year tour with CENTER LANE. The personnel management system allows requisitioning and Tganning against the position lie now occupies as much as six months in advance, that is in January 1985. Third, one of the enlisted personnel currently assigned is duc to, and probably will, ETS in July 1985. While these personnel will eventually be re2laced, once the activity is transferred to DIA, -no replacements for these two individuals have been identified and there are no plans to fill these projected vacancies with INSCOM assets. Fourth, one individual assigned to SSPD falls under the atisi)ices of the GII,TEAT SKILLS propram. Y11- will be ii-taintained on ASDIs roster, and therefore always be an INSCOM asset. Finally, t'he two civilian employens 4@'e,,@@)ermanent overhire," and present no'Aet loss to INSCOM @4ar@foeln? strength. Of the nine personnel assigned, therefore, eig Iar- may he "provided for," Leaving only one position that would have to be "gapped" and one ASD space. (S/CT,-3/N0F0RN) A decision to detail INSCOM personnel to DIA will have a funding impact. The following funding requirel-netits i-inist I)-, Provicled for in a detailing situation. a.

(SICL-31NOFORN) Discussions with Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) management now indicate that DIA will not be able to accept the transfer of INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) assets until FY 1986. This is a result both of present Congressional restrictions on use of NFIP funding for psychoenergetic intelligence collection activities and a severe shortage of non-NFIP resources at DIA. DIA has requested operational control (OPCON) of ICLP as an interim measure, and has agreed to accept all command and control responsibility and liability for ICLP until such a time as Congress approves use of NFIP funds for psychoenerget ic -related activities (expected no later than the first quarter of FY 86). 3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Based on the above, CC, USAINSCOM, has determined that the best course of action to permit the continued use of ICLP technology is to place the Project under DIA's OPCON.
