   SUBJECT: (U) Possible Courses of Action in Event of INSCOM CENTER LANE
   Project (ICLP) Cancellation.
   ISSUE: (U) To inform the Chief of Staff, USAINSCOM concerning
   implications of cancellation of ICLP on 30 September 1984, and possible
   alternative courses of action to mitigate adverse impact.
   1. (U) Dissolve INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) on 30 September 1984.
   This would:
   a. (U) Preclude a timely and fair reassignment program for personnel
   assigned to ICLP who may not wish or be able to 'participate in some
   further edition or continuation of the program.
   b. (S/CL-I/NOFORN) Result in mid-contract cancellation of on-going work
   with SRI-International, to include training already begun for five
   personnel. Not only would the balance of the funds invested by the
   government be unrecoverable (since they are "black" P-6 funds), but should
   resources and management of the program later be transferred to another
   organization such as DIA or NSA, the procedure would be made more
   difficult because of loss of momentum and training interruption.
   C. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Preclude preparation of comprehensive after-action
   reports of INSCOM psychoenergetic efforts which will be essential when the
   program is either transferred or resurrected.
   2. (U) Cease ICLP operations on 30 September 1984, but allow completion
   of outstanding contracts and training (on or about 31 December 1984).
   This would:
        WARNING NOTICE: CENTER LANE SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM
        RESTRICT DISSEMINATION TO THOSE WITH VERIFIED ACCESS
        TO CATEGORY THREE (3)
            SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED
                    NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS
   CLASSIFIED BY: CDR, INSCOM
   DECLASSIFY ON: OADR

        SUBJECT: (U) Possible courses of action in event of INSCOM CENTER LANE
        Project (ICLP) cancellation.
        a. (U) Allow the reassignment of ICLP personnel on an equitable basis.
        b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Permit trainees to complete training and become 60%
        operational.
        C. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Permit timely and undisrupted transfer of ICLP to a
        national agency such as DIA or NSA.
        d. (U) Permit preparation of comprehensive after action reports, thereby
        preserving vital institutional knowledge and technical details that would
        otherwise be permanently lost.
        3. (U) Recommended course of action:
        J rm
        (U) If CG, INSCOM makes a decision to cancel ICLP, recommend course of A).C Al
        action 2, and approval be granted for the ICLP Project Manager to initiate 4v-Q-X-iv
        action with DIA, NSA, etc. to transfer the capability with the least 1A
        possible adverse impact.
        4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The ideal course of action, would be continuation of
        ICLP as a USAINSCOM intelligence collection project as is, with
        appropriate interfacing with the U.S. Army Medical Research and
        Development Command, for phenomena validation and technology extension.
