  SUBJECT: CENTER LANE Briefing to MG Lary, Senior Military
  Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense
  2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) At approximately 1000 hours 23 January 1985
  Dr. Vorona told LTC Buzbv that the purpose of the briefing was
  to provide MG Lary with information on the capabilities and
  potential of remote vipwinp,, for intelligence collection. Dr. SG1 I
  Vorona believed that MG Lary was aware of the DoD
  psychoenergetic program through Office
  of the USDRE. Mr. Hurwitz and Dr. Vorona wanted to ensure that
  MG Lary, and therefore the Deputy Secretary of Defense, was
       ire of the intelligence applications of psychoenergetics, and
  what DIA and the Aitelligrence Community had done in the field.
  3. (S/CL-2/NOF'ORN) The briefing was to be presented to MG Lary
  in Mr. Hurwitzs office. MG Lapy arrived at 1035 hours
  accompanied by COL Hollander. Neither Mr. Hurwitz nor Dr.
  Vorona had invited COL Hollander, but there was no objection to
  his presence at the briefing. Dr. Vorona began the briefing
  with an historical overview. After MG Lary stated he was
  familiar with the background, LTC Buzby began his portion of the
  briefing. MC Lary stopped LTC Buzby after three examples, and
  stated he and COL Hollander were totally aware of the GRILL
  FLAME/CENTER LANE programs and that they did not need to "be
  sold" on the need for such a program. 'He went on to say that he
  was at the meeting to clarify who within DoD had the charter to
  perform psychoenergetic R&D, to e4sure that DIA was aware of the
  DSD/USDRE program, and to inform DIA officials that they could
  not use R&D resources to support their'effort. At this point,
  LTG James A. f;lilliams, Director, DIA entered the meeting and
  participated in the ongoing dialogue with MG Lary and COL
  Hollander.
  4. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Dtfr-ing, the ensuing discussion COL
  Hollander stated that the DSD, on the recommendation of- the
  USDRE, had approved psychoenergetic R&D within DoD, arid had
  signed a "charter" tha't designated the Program SG1 I
  Manager (PM) for psychoenergetic R&D. The thrust of this R&D
  program is an examination and validation of the phenomena. The
  USDR.E position on the intelligence application of
  psychoenergetics is one of encouragement as long as it is
  compatible with the USDRE R&D program. The two programs should
  and could work in harmony to ensure that: they benefit from each
  other.
  5. (S/NOFORN) The meeting adjourned at 1135 hours with an
  agreement between DIA arid OSD officials to improve

   It is clear Lhat will be the DoD
   psychoenergetic PM, and that the main thrust within Doi) will be
   R&D. The only change in direction in the program appears to be
   the addition of a new "player." This change will, not affect the
   intelligence applications portion of the program, and the CL,
   project is expected to transfer to DTA as planned and scheduled.
