 SUBJECT: CENTER LANE FY 86 - 90 GDIP Submission
 1. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Since the beginning of USAINSCOM's exploitation
 of psychoenergetics (PE) technology with Project GRILL FLAME, up
 through the present effort under CENTER LANE, the program has been
 conducted on an ad hoc basis, using resources taken "out of hide."
 Despite the provisional approach, Project results have been very
 impressive. State-of-the-art in psychoenergetics has advanced so
 far, however, that the current organizational approach is no longer
 adequate to derive the maximum benefit and intelligence potential
 from available technology. In recognition of this, directives
 received in the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Program
 Manager's Guidance Memorandum (PMGM), Fiscal Years 1986-1990 (U)2
 Substantive Guidance document require the provision of "unranked
 packages to fund the operational use of CENTER LANE capabilities"
 (para 5i, Incl 1).
 2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A proposed organization is attached as
 Inclosure 2. Designed not only to expand and enhance already proven
 methods of individual PE intelligence collection operations, this
 proposal establishes a framework for the development and use of
 synergistic technology, where individual PE collection resources are
 pooled to "saturate" a target, intensifying collection capability.
 In order to support the concept, resources must be planned,
 programmed and budgeted to-facilitate the creation of this
 organization.

     3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Presently, the use of National Foreign
     Intelligence Program (NFIP) funds for support of PE operations is
     proscribed by Congress. However, support for such operations
     throughout the national intelligence community has grown to the
     extent that an effort is being made to overturn that decision. If
     CG INSCOM approves the attached concept, recommend that New
     Initiatives (as attached at Inclosure 3) be submitted through both
     GDIP and Security and Investigative Activities (S&IA) channels.
     Submission through both is deemed necessary to allow for S&IA
     approval should the NFIP/GDIP funding prohibition not be lifted.
     4. (S/NOFORN) The compartmented nature of the information that is
     included in the justification documents requires that CENTER LANE
     initiatives be submitted separately from INSCOM's standard Program
     Analysis Resource Review/Total Army Analysis (TAA/PARR) and
     NFIP/GDIP submissions. Upon approval of the concept, the proposed
     CENTER LANE TAA/PARR and NFIP/GDIP packets will be transmitted
     directly to DAMI-ISH, ACSI DA for action.
     5. (U) Submission of the CENTER LANE initiative by HQ, USAINSCOM
     in the Planning, Programing, and Budget (PPB) process implies an
     agreement by the command that if the initiative is approved at the
     DA and DoD level, USAINSCOM is prepared to implement the program at
     the beginning of FY 86. This means that there will be a requirement
     to provide 36 personnel to form the organization, effective 1
     October 1985. If the required manpower spaces cannot be obtained
     from sources outside of USAINSCOM, personnel may have to be derived
     from internal programs.
     6. (U) POC is LTC Brian Buzby, AVN 923-7829/2656.
