Comments on Recent CENTER LANE Experience
1. CIA's relationship with the US Army activities covered
Linder the designator of CENTER LANE has been that of a Customer.
We have no Agency people or funds assigned to or otherwise
designated in support of those activities. We do have contact
for the purpose of querying and tasking the Project's capabili-
ties when we believe we have ail appropriate matter to investigate.
2. Appropriate "targets" for us might include such as
locating individuals or describing mysterious facilities in
foreign countries. Our aim in consulting Subject Projects would
be to obtain leads to develop access with more conventiorial
sources. Staff advisers inform me that during such tasks for us,
CENTER LANE sources have often "made contact" far beyond what
might be expected by probalbilities and coincidence. Significant
problems of course remain. To use analogy, they are best de-
scribed as a less than hopod, for signal-to-noise ratio and a less
than photographic resolution, as well as some outright misses.
Nevertheless, the attitude of Project personnel has always been
professional, helpful, and receptive to our concerns. am
confident that they have a good grip on where they are in the
state of their art as an applied technology.
3. We would like to contiT1110 to call upon CENTER LANE,
especially in those special instances where, for the moment, we
have no other recourse and still feel a need to act. WLth shared
practical experiences, it seems likely that CENTER LANE can build
further capabilities as a collector, and we can sharpen our
ability to use Uiis product in the analytical process.
