    1. (S/CL-I/NOFORN) On 16 Mar 83 the ASA(RD&A)* was briefed on
    CENTER LANE, a US Army Intelligence and Security Command
    (INSCOM) Special Access Program wbich utilizes an aspect of
    parapsychology known as Remote Viewing (RV) as the collection
    method for obtaining information of intelligence interest. The
    ASA(RD&A) approved the use of Program 6 funds for CENTER LANE
    and specifically approved the five projects listed below:
         a* (S/CL-I/NOFORN) Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) train-
    ing; approximate cost $96K.
         b. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Identification and selection of
    personnel; approximate cost $100K.
    C. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Audio analysis; approximate cost $70K.
         d. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) Initiate work to develop a "search for"
    technique; approximate cost $125K.
         el (S/CL-I/NOFORN) Biofeedback equipment; approximate cost
    $25K.
    2. (U) The ASA(RD&A) decided that requests for funds would be
    submitted to the DCSRDA. In keeping with that decision, funds
    are requested for the following refined list of projects:
         a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) CRV training: three new personnel in
    stages 1 through 3 (of 6 stages) - $70K; stages 5 and 6 for one
    advanced person $40K. (Total $110K.)
         b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Develop a testing technique for the
    identification and selection of personnel with a higher degree
    of talent for RV than the general population - $120K.

        C. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Examine correlation between RV per-
   formance and ambient Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) fluctuations,
   and determine the possibility of RV jamming - $65K. This project
   replaces the previously approved audio analysis project. While
   audio analysis is an important area for study, preliminary infor-
   mation is sufficient to meet immediate needs and ELF study is
   of greater potential utility now:
        d. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Develop a "search for" technique
   (target upon a person or thing rdther than on a geographical
   coordinate) - $175K.
        e. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Acquisition of biofeedb-ack equipment
   for use in training and pilot testing during RV sessions -
   $26.5K (list of equipment is at-Enclosure 1).
   3. (C) If Program 6 funds are approved for the above listed
   projects, request that DCSRDA action officer disperse the funds
   after consultation with CENTER LANE Project Officer to ensure
   that contracting and security requirements are met. Further
   request that authorization be granted for fund dispersement over
   the next six months, as necessary, so that the contracting pro-
   cess does not have to be totally accomplished within FY 83.
   4. (U) This submission was held pending Secretary of the Army
   approval of CENTER LANE. Approval was granted 1 September 1983.
