This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) places the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) psychoenergetic intelligence collection capability (CENTER LANE) under the operational control (OPCON) of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The OPCON action will attach all INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) personnel, documents, equipment, and office space to DIA to form the nucleus of a prototype operational group that will conduct psychoenergetic intelligence activities for the U.S. Intelligence Community. This course of action is an interim measure until Congressional approval is obtained for GDIP billets for DIA for the ICLP 2. (U) REFERENCES. a.

USAINSCOM has invested considerable effort and resources since 1977 to develop an operational psychoenergetic capability. Intelligence consumers in the US Army, US Air Force, DIA, NSA, CIA, and NSC have all tasked this capability to augment other intelligence systems. These agencies have recognized the value and potential of the intelligence application of psychoenergetics; it is likely they will continue to task the system. Since INSCOM has disestablished CENTER LANE, existing resources must be put uncer the .

The transfer of ICLP to DIA OPCON must be done in such a way as to maintain continuity and momentum of effort, as well as state-of-the-art expertise. 4. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) SCOPE. The transfer of operational control of ICLP to DIA affects DA (ACSI), INSCOM, and DIA. 5. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) AGREEMENTS, SUPPORT, AND RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS. ICLP has been an active intelligence collection unit since 1978, and it is therefore intended that it will continue as an operational element under the operational control of the appropriate organizational element of DIA. Defense Intelligence Agency accepts the entire responsibility for mission-related training, mode of employment, applicable requirements of the "human use" issue, and the operation and security of the former ICLP and its assets for the OPCON period. The period of operational control will be no longer than one calendar year from the implementation date of this MOA. If, by the end of this period, DIA is successful in obtaining requisite positions and funding allocated for continued psycboenergetic activity, INSCOM agrees to assign affected personnel and other project resources. to DIA as will be deemed appropriate and mutually agreed upon. This assignment will be by a separate MOA. If the aforementioned funding and resources are not approved in the FY 86 General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) submission, ICLP will revert to USAINSCOM to be reassigned or utilized at the discretion of the CG, INSCOM. a. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Personnel. All ICLP Personnel will be encouraged to continue with the project as it devolves under DIA control. Direct participation in psychoenergetic activities by CENTER LANE personnel is strictly voluntary and falls under the guidelines of DoD Directive 5240.1-R, AR 381-10, and Code of Federal Regulation, Title 45, Part 46. The ICLP manager will ensure that ICLP operational personnel understand that they will be performing operational remote viewing in support of the DIA psycboenergetic program under the guidelines of established procedures outlined in reference 2e. b. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) Documents. All documents maintained by ICLP will remain under INSCOM control until such a time as need dictates a separate agreement be concluded transferring pertinent documents to DIA. Upon the event of such a contingency, INSCOM will in any case be permitted to retain access to command and control and historical ICLP documents. Documents generated after transfer of OPCON to DIA are the property and responsibility of DIA, but may be administered by the project manager of the INSCOM element at DIA direction.

(U) DISCUSSION: a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) On 11 December 1984, CG INSCOM approved a proposal that would allow transfer of operational control of ICLP to DIA as an alternative to the original plan for total transfer of ICLP to DIA. @ffiis proposal alters the original concept of immediate transfer of IMP, and therefore it was necessary to revise the original Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). At Blue TAB B is the new version, with wording changes reflecting the change in concept. At Blue TAB C is the old version, included for purposes of comparison. b. (C/M)FORN) The new MA has been informally coordinated with GDIP and DIA representatives who are cognizant of action. c. (S/C1,-2/NOFORN) The proposed MOA will transfer OPCON of all personnel currently assip ,ned to ICLP to DIA, and makes provision for further negotiations and action to facilitate the total transfer of ICLP to DIA. Attachment orders were originally considered as a vehicle for transferring operational control of personnel to DIA. However, it was determined that such an action would detract from OPSEC.

(S/CL-2/NOFORN) Recommend that after review and approval by CC, INSCOM, the MOA be forwarded unsigned to the ACSI, DA for his approval. At Blue TAB D is a transmittal letter for the MOA. Upon return of the MOA from the ACSI, it will be forwarded to DIA for their formal review and approval. Anticipated effective date for attachment of ICLP to DIA is 15 February 1985. e. (S/NOFORN) Concurrent with the effective date of the OPCON action, CC, INSCOM will be required to notify the ACSI that the ICLP special access program (SAP) has been deactivated. This notification will include a request for OACSI to take necessary action to disestablish the SAP. At Blue TAB E is a letter for CC signature to satisfy this requirement.

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) Continual discussions with DIA management now indicate that the transfer of ICLP activities to DIA is riot likely to take place by 31 December 1984. DIA has agreed to ace ept to t a. 1. r e s pons ib i I i t y f or t h6 p sychooner get i c a pp I icat i ons and research program. However, current Congressional prohibitions against the use of NFIP resources in such a program and the critical absence of non-NFfP resources at DIA have not DIA resource managers to identify personnel. spaces in which to transfer the nine personnel currently assigned 'to I CLP. Tbesc managers, therefore, have taken. the position that a detailing action is necessary if the transfer of 1CLP functions A.s to take pla.ce. A detailing action would permit DIA to manage and operate the program without using NFIP resources since ICLP personnel. are in rion-NFIP spaces. Use of non-NFIP resources is an interim measure that will be rCsolved when Congress approves the DIA FY 86-90 GDIP ii)ltiativo for a CENTER LANE follow-on. DIA has already submitted the initiative, but Congress will not review and rule on it until. at Least summer 1985. When Congress approves the initiative, the GDJ[1 supported psychoenergetic program can be implemented during the first quarter FY 86. 2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) For the"above reasons on 3 December 1984, Dr. Jack Voron.a, Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific ond Technical Intelligence, DTA, directed -the, preparation of a decision paper for the Director, DIA that would support a DIA position to recommend detailing of TCLP personnel. rather than a KAR"NING 1'1@11)1111cl@_.

The papcr would. also suggest that 1,TG Williams ter to discuss tfic,- issue. The decision paper is contact MG Soys scheduled to be submitted -to LTG Williams on 7 December 1984. 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) my assessment of the situation concludes that a detailing action is -in the best interests of the program, INSCOM, and personnel currently assigned to ICLP. Detailing would permit an early resumption of collection activities, the continuation of training, and the assumption of responsibility by DIA For management of the Pol) psychoenergetic progra.1ri. Should Congress react negatively to the (3DIP initiative, the Personnel involved in the detailing process, together uith their varied skills and considerable experience,, would,not be lost to INSCOM and could be reassigned to contribute positively in other areas of the command. 4 . (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The one drawback for INSCOM is the problem of 1'tying tip" spaces occupied by the nine personnel currently a - way ameli , ssigned to ICT.11. Recent actions, however, orate this situation. First of these is the scheduled 1 Januarv 1985 authorization of threc personnel on the Security Systems Planning Division (SSPD), MI Battalion (Security), 902d MI Group (the CENTER LANE cover organization) nine person TDA three of the current organization. Th i s will allow ttout-of-hide'l personncl. to be slotted against valid positions. Second, one of the individuals involved is scheduled to PCS in July i985, after completion of a *Foair year tour with CFNTER LANE. The personncl management system allows requisitioning and mannin@-j against the position he now occupies as much as six months in advance, that is in January 1985. Third,, one of the enlisted personnel currently assigned is due to, and probably will, ETS in July -1.985. While these personnel will. eventually -i e DIA, no )e replaced, otice ti activity is transferred to replacements for these two individuals have been identified and there are no plans to fill, these projected vacancies with INSCOM assets. Fourth, one individual assigned to SSPD falls under the auspices of t4e GIREAT SKTLLS proqram, fie will be maintained on ASD's roster, and therefore always 'be an INSCOM asset.
