SUBJECT :
CENTER LANE Briefing for Senator Nunn (U)
FACTS.
1. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) CENTER LANE is a US Army Intelligence and
Security Command (INSCOM) Special Access Program which utilizes
an aspect of psychoenergetics known as Remote Viewing as the
collection method for obtaining information of intelligence
interest.
CENTER LANE was approved by the Secretary of the Army
on 1 Sep 83 and the Secretary was briefed on the Program 5 Oct 83.
2. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) CENTER LANE is a follow-on project to Army
GRILL FLAME, which was closed at the end of FY 82 as a result of
Congressional guidance to curtail all operational activities in
the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP). CENTER LANE
personnel spaces and funding come from the Army Security and
Investigative Activities (S&IA) program and no NFIP resources
are involved.
3. (S/CL-1/NOFORN)
Program 6 (Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation) resources were authorized for Army CENTER LANE use
by the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering
(USDRE) on 19 Jan 83 and by the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Research, Development and Acquisition) on 16 Mar 83. Contracts
for $497K have been negotiated and P.6 funds for this amount
will be dispersed about 1 Nov 83. The USDRE has indicated a
willingness to commit more P.6 resources to CENTER LANE and this
subject will be a matter of discussion in the near future.
4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN)
CENTER LANE has demonstrated that important
foreign intelligence and counterintelligence information may be
obtained through the use of Remote Viewing.
INSCOM's success in
this effort has resulted in an authorization to expand opera-
tional capabilities, to examine other areas of psychoenergetics
such as psychokinesis and remote communications, and to develop
psychoenergetic countermeasures.
These new directions hold
great promise and, if successful, would have an impact far
beyond the intelligence applications.

DEFINITIONS
Parapsychology - A field of study concerned with the investiga-
tion of evidence for telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis.
Psychoenergetics - A term similar to parapsychology, in that it
is used as a collective term to identify several areas such as
remote viewing, remote communications, and remote perturbation.
It includes the process by which an individual may psychically
interact with subjects, locations, organizations or events.
Remote Viewing - The perception by an individual of things,
places or events distant from him.
Psychokinesis - The ability of a person to cause a change in
state in some physical object.
Remote Communications is normally considered to be mental tele-
pathy, but recent studies in plant communication indicate that
other forms of remote communications (perhaps chemical) may be
feasible.
Remote Perturbation can include mental as well as physical
(Psychokinesis) agitation.
Psychoenergetics Countermeasures requires a basic understanding
of the underlying mechanisms involved in psychoenergetic
processes so as to deny the use of these measures against us.
Psychoenergetic meaconing, intrusion, jamming and deception
would be the logical focus of such"effort.
