    SUBJECT: (U) Cancellation of the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project
    ISSUE: (U) The cancellation of the INSCOM CENTER LANE Program (ICLP)
    will result in the loss of a promising new intelligence technique that can
    enhance INSCOM's existing intelligence collection programs.
    (U) Cancellation of the CENTER LANE Program would have the following
    adverse impact:
    1. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Loss of invested resources, which are providing a
    more timely, cost-effective return in intelligence than other more
    11 conventional" systems and methodologies.
    2. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Essential abandonment of the field to Soviet, East
    Bloc and Chinese intelligence services.
    3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Loss of seven years' knowledge and experience, as
    well as trained personnel, requiring a "start up" time for a renewed
    psychoenergetic collection effort of as long as five years.
    4. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Surrender of a significant technological lead. The
    remote viewing technology being transferred to CENTER LANE personnel and
    utilized for operational intelligence collection represents a major
    breakthrough in the fields of psychoenergetics and intelligence
    collection. Since it has remained under the CENTER LANE umbrella, this
    technology is unknown to the outside world. The Army presently enjoys a
    monopoly on a revolutionary new collection tool. Outside researchers are
    essentially following a "false trail," which accounts for their general
    failure to develop useable, sufficiently refined psychoenergetic skills
    and techniques.

    SUBJECT: (U) Cancellation of the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project
    5. (S/CL-I/NOFORN) Loss of widespread respect gained from the
    Intelligence Community for INSCOM's program as the leader and major
    expert in this field; and loss of painstakingly-developed rapport between
    intelligence users and ICLP.
    6. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Loss of a vital, tested intelligence collection
    methodology that can not only augment established disciplines, but perform
    missions that would be extremely difficult or impractical for any other
    collection resource.
