MEADE, MARYLAND 20755 21 February 1979 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: INSCOM PROJECT GRILL FLAME: PROGRESS REPORT #1 (U) (U) 1. Period Covered: 27 October 1978 - 16 February 1979 2, (U) Purpose: The purpose of the progress report is to provide periodic status reports concerning INSCOM's involvement in project GRILL FLAME. These reports will be shown to "key" INSCOM personnel and then only after the INSCOM GRILL FLAME Project Officer has determined that a "need-to-know" exists. 3. (S/ORCON) Introduction: Sometime during the month of October 1978, Colonel A. W. Hamel, ADCSOPS-HUMINT, INSCOM, was tasked by the DCSOPS, INSCOM, to provide a Project Officer for a new program that INSCOM was becoming involved in at the direction of the ACSI. Major Murray B. Watt, PPPA, ADCSOPS-HUMINT, was selected to be the INSCOM Project Manager (PM) and on 27 October 1978 was so notified. In short, the new project involved the development of a program using parapsychology phenomena for intelligence applications. INSCOM was verb- ally tasked (Note: There exists no written tasking between OACSI and HQ, INSCOM) to explore the technique of remote viewing using INSCOM selected personnel who would be trained by Stanford Research Institute - Inter- national (SRI). Remote viewing pertains to the ability of certain individuals to access and describe, by means of mental processes, informa- tion sources blocked from ordinary perception, and generally accepted as secure against such access. 4. (S/ORCON) Tasking: As previously stated, HQ INSCOM never received any written tasking on this subject. However, the CG, INSCOM and the ACSI had agreed upon the concept of remote viewing and the need for Army involvement in this area. At TAB A is a copy of the revised Statement of Work which provides for the training of three INSCOM personnel by SRI. ARMY review(s) completed.

Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0- IAFM-OPS-HU 21 February 1979 SUBJECT: INSCOM PROJECT GRILL FLAME : PROGRESS REPORT #1 (U) 5. (S/ORCON) Project Development: The initial concern of the Project Manager (PM) was to develop a full understanding of parapsychology and the various aspects of the phenomena. Towards this end, the PM has been greatly assisted by Lieutenant Frederick H. Atwater. LT Atwater, although assigned to the Special Security Detachment, 902d MI Group, was attached to the GRILL FLAME project because of previous research into this area during work on a separate project. a. To develop a sense of appreciation for an understanding of para- psychology, the PM undertook a vigorous Research Program (which is still ongoing) to include the following: (1) Extensive reading on the subject matter. (2) Visits to DOD officials with knowledge of the subject matter. (3) Visits to SRI (see TABs B and C). (4) Visits to AMSAA (see TABs D and E) . b. On 24 November 1978, the tentative milestone schedule for INSCOM GRILL FLAME activity was submitted to the ADCSOPS-HUMINT (COL Hamel) for his approval (see TAB F) . c. DOD Committee Action : On 28 November 1978, the first meeting of the Working Group Committee of the DOD Special Sensors Project met at DIA. (See TAB G.) One of the first actions of the Working Group was to form- ally change the name of the group to the DOD GRILL FLAME Committee. The Working Group will meet at the call of the Chairperson, Dr. Jack Vorona, DIA. MAJ Watt, not only is a member of the Working Group, but he also sits on the two Ad Hoc Committees formed to establish "Goals and Objec- tives" and to develop "experimental protocol and methods for validating experiments." d. DA GRILL FLAME Committee: DA representatives met at HQ DARCOM on 28 November 1978 to discuss Project GRILL FLAME and what the Army position should be (see TAB H) . e. Procedures for conducting "Survey" -- Throughout the orientation period, MAJ Watt and LT Atwater were busy preparing a method that would help them select the INSCOM personnel who would volunteer for participa- tion in the GRILL FLAME Project that INSCOM was going to carry out. It was decided to conduct an interview with selected INSCOM personnel throughout the greater Washington area. The interviews would serve as the "guise" under which project personnel could obtain viewpoints, Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0

The following chart denotes the number of personnel considered and interviewed. For security purposes the number of personnel actually selected has been omitted -- such data can be readily obtained from project personnel only on a very strict "need-to-know" basis.

The selec- tion criteria/process was carried out in the following manner: (1) Decision made to interview only WO/OFF/Civilians (GS9 and above) , * (2) Initial elimination based on: (a) Commander's evaluation. (b) Retainability - at least 20 months. (c) Health. (d) Not readily available (programmed TDY, schools, etc.). (3) Conduct personal interviews/survey. (4) Reassessment process. (5) Request specific personnel to volunteer for INSCOM program. 3 Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0

SUBJECT: INSCOM PROJECT GRILL FLAME: PROGRESS REPORT #1 (U)
(6) SRI personnel interview selected personnel.
(7) Final decision/selection of personnel.
*Exceptions to this rule were made in three cases when project personnel
received strong recommendations concerning three individuals who did not
meet original criteria.
f. Security Aspects: Throughout the developmental phases of this
project, security has been of primary concern--not only security of
GRILL FLAME itself but security/safety of personnel involved with the
project.
Access to GRILL FLAME information is limited to a "Strict Need-to-
Know Basis" and the PM maintains a Security Access Roster of all INSCOM
personnel with knowledge of the activities of the program. Further, the
PM serves as POC for all other agencies desiring GRILL FLAME information
including security status as regards GRILL FLAME.
6. (S/ORCON) Future Plans: The coming weeks will basically be devoted
to the following activities:
a. Initial in-house training of all project personnel.
b. Training at SRI.
c. Establishing procedures and determining appropriate applications.

MEMORANDUM FOR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (RESERACH,
DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION)
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY (RESEARCH,
ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS)
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE (RESEARCH,
DEVELOPMENT AND LOGISTICS)
SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Activity (U)
(S) This note is for the purpose of establishing policy with
respect to OUSDRE support of investigations into parapsychology
and its potential military applications.
(S) Based upon the December 1979 report of the GRILL FLAME
Scientific Evaluation Committee and upon my own sense of
priorities for efforts within the OUSDRE, I believe it appropriate
that the Recommendations of Chapter 3, pages 10 and 11, relating
to OUSDRE activities be implemented.
(S) The substance of those recommendations as they relate to
OUSDRE is that it was found to be not appropriate to fund
technology programs aimed at scientific demonstration of the
existence of the subject effects, and that as a consequence
future work at AMSAA and Huntsville in these areas not be auth-
orized by USDRE. Therefore, no new work will be initiated under
the sponsorship of OUSDRE in the areas of potential military
application of parapsychology effects.
(S) Other recommendations in the report deal with intelligence
related R&D and suggest a continuation of low level efforts
within the INSCOM. These activities clearly are outside the
responsibility of OUSDRE and therefore are neither endorsed
nor denied. When intelligence related parapsychological efforts
require support by OUSDRE personnel or facilities, I would like
to be advised, but interpose no objection if the level of their
requests are not an appreciable fraction of the work of the
facility involved.

(U) On 20 November 1981, from 1030-1130 hours. BG Odom was briefed by COL Norman S. Wells, Director, Intelligence Systems, OACSI and MAJ Dennis O'Keefe, OACSI GRILL FLAME Project Officer. 2. (FOUO) The OACSI briefing covered the history of the project, participants past and current, significant actions, funding and future planning. I provided a summary of INSCOM activities and requestors, and selected samples of successful projects. 3. (S) BG Odom described himself as an honest skeptic. He expressed an interest in Army becoming involved in an R&D effort to prove or disprove the existence of the phenomena. BG Odom questioned the low (40%) useful data ratio provided requestors, and while COL Wells, MAJ O'Keefe and I tried to put it into the same perspective as other collection systems, I do not think he was completely satisfied. (After the brief, COL Wells recommended to MAJ O'Keefe an update on this after BG Odom becomes more familiar with GRILL FLAME.) 2 Incl 1. Opns Summ 2. Requestor Summ R Jachim ROBERT J.

(S/NF) The reference limited OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME research activities, but interposed no objection to low-level support to intelligence-related efforts. (S/NF) Since 1980, jointly sponsored research by DIA and Army INSCOM has shown GRILL FLAME to have potential for military applications. In the classified annex to the FY 1983 Authorization Conference Report, however, the Intelligence Committee conferees agreed that if research were to continue, it should be outside the National Foreign Intelligence Program. Although DIA should have sufficient funding in FY 1983 to complete its GRILL FLAME evaluation, the conferees did not provide resources for Army intelligence participation in the project. (S/NF) A scientific review of GRILL FLAME evidence accumulated in the course of a three-year National Foreign Intelligence Program study is to be completed by early April 1983. In the interim, Program 6 resources may be used to maintain the current Army INSCOM capability and supplement as necessary the FY 83 DIA evaluation effort. I would like to be informed in advance of the proposed Program 6 funding sources identified to suport these intelligence research activities. Future OUSDRE sponsorst, p of GRILL FLAME or related activities will depend in part on the results of the DIA evaluation and any other such review as I deem appropriate.

( S/CL-2/NOFORN) MILITARY OBJECTIVE : It is the objective of these procedures to maintain the quality of psychoenergetic training and applications so that CENTER LANE will continue to support the broad spectrum of intelligence and counterintelligence requirements in collection, target acquisition, and deception. 4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) MILITARY APPLICATIONS : CENTER LANE applications of psychoenergetics include but are not limited to : (1) targeting of key enemy military personnel from covert agents to key battle commanders, (2) monitoring hostile military movements, lines of communication, and specific technologies, (3) detecting changes in the state of military units, (4) detecting and assessing hostile intelligence efforts targeted against friendly units/missions, and (5) detecting and assessing hostile technological capabilities in specific locations. Since US Army personnel, units, materiel, and operations are subject to a similar hostile intelligence service threat, CENTER LANE can assist in devising countermeasures to eliminate or reduce vulnerabilities. 5. ( S/CL-2/NOFORN) APPROVAL HISTORY : a . (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Concept Approval : The Commander, US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command ( DARCOM) approved in principle the US Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) involvement in the project GRILL FLAME; which began in April 1978 (GRILL FLAME was the predecessor to the CENTER LANE Project). In May 1978, the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL FLAME applications. Effective 14 January 1981, by approval of SECRET
4 Approved For Release 8:309:FARDA96-00788R001500040003-0 the Under Secretary of the Army, INSCOM became the only active operational GRILL FLAME element in the Army. Program management for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander, INSCOM effective 11 February 1981. OACSI, DAMI-ISH remained the Army focal point for policy matters and interlace at the national level. Overall DoD responsibility resided with the Defense Intelligence Agency ( DIA). Also in 1981, a joint services GRILL FLAME Committee consisting of DIA, the US Air Force and US Army was formed. Later the Air Force Chief of Staff directed that the Air Force withdraw from the committee and all psychoenergetic programs. A comprehensive program was designed to determine the operational parameters and usefulness of psychoenergetics and assess the threat these phenomena posed to national security. At that time DIA was R&D oriented and INSCOM's GRILL FLAME Project was applications oriented. In the FY83 DoD budget review the Budget Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence curtailed all psychoenergetic activities funded by the Army in the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), but directed that DIA could complete the third year of their effort and that all future Army funding be budgeted outside the NFIP. INSCOM terminated formal involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY 82; in the fall of 1982, in keeping with congressional desires, the Commanding General INSCOM provided funding from Security and Investigative Activities (S&IA) monies, and continued its efforts under a provisional compartmented SAP nicknamed CENTER LANE. On I September 1983, the Secretary of the Army approved continued Army participation in CENTER LANE activities within INSCOM and with appropriate contractors in a cooperative effort with DIA. FOIAb5 ARMY 6. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) SELECTION OF PERSONNEL : a . (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Current Selection Criteria : After over a year of participation within the psychoenergetic project, source personnel were tested by the INSCOM Staff Psychologist an attempt to determine a suitable profile by which further participants could be identified. The specific tests administered were ( see Appendix B for test descriptions) : in (MMPI). (1) The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Approved For Release 2005 03/09 .

(4) California Psychological Inventory (CPI). (5) Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS). (6) Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) . For the most part, the group presented itself as emotionally stable with no marked trends. There did appear to be an interesting similarity in defensive style, a tending toward artistic, aesthetic, and cultural interests, and an introversive style, of emotional expression. From these test results the INSCOM Staff Psychologist constructed a test that may be used as an initial screening tool in the selection of new psychoenergetic participants. This new test is called the INSCOM Factor Questionnaire. This instrument is used to compare individuals with CENTER LANE sources. A high score suggests that individuals have similar characteristics to operational A personnel and may be potential candidates for the project. score of 20 or higher is considered to be similar to CENTER LANE personnel. Individuals who score within the parameters specified by the INSCOM psychologist would then receive personal interviews with CENTER LANE Project personnel. From these interviews new project participants would be selected and trained. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Projected Selection Criteria: SRI-I has been contracted to investigate and report a particular aspect of psychoenergetics relating to operational management of personnel; that is, to determine if a personality testing technique can be created which, when applied to a general population, will delineate specific individuals who exhibit a higher degree of talent for psychoenergetic abilities. C . ( S/CL-2/NOFORN) Voluntary Consent: As required under the regulations governing "Human Use" (see para 2., Appendix A), all personnel operate on strictly voluntary basis, and may withdraw at any time without any form of prejudicial action or consideration directed against them. Further, participants are informed of any known or potential risks that might be inherent in program participation. This is accomplished through the use of a verbal briefing from a knowledgeable CENTER LANE official, and the execution of a personalized Statement of Consent form outlining all pertinent information and considerations. The voluntary consent requirement pertains to individuals assigned to the CENTER LANE Project and contractors/consultants. A sample of the voluntary consent form is attached as Inclosure 5, Appendix A. Approved For Release 2005/03/09 SECRET 00788R001500040003-0

(S/CL-1/ NOFORN) TRAINING PROCEDURES : To provide a framework for the standardizing of the task of psychoenergetic learning, a number of methodologies are being utilized and conducted within the CENTER LANE Project. These are as follows: a . (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Orientation Testing/Training: (1) Purpose : To provide new personnel with an introduction to training and applications procedures. (2) Administered by: CENTER LANE Project personnel and selected contractor and subcontractors. (3) Location: Fort George G. Meade, Maryland and other designated locations. (4) Duration: One to six months. (5) Description of Procedures : Orientation testing/training is developed from the practical application of state-of-the-art psychoenergetic technology drawn from academic institutions, scientific laboratories, and research establishments around the world. It is an eclectic approach, using those methods which have applications potential. Orientation testing is designed to determine if new personnel have aptitudes which would be of operational value and could be developed through training. This orientation testing consists of a series of controlled exercises in psychoenergetic functioning. New personnel may be asked to attempt to perceive, communicate with, and/or perturb characteristics of a designated target, person, or event remote in space and/or time from that individual. Orientation training is composed of practical lectures, literature review, and exercises in Remote Viewing, observation of others. It includes the use of locally as targets. A target pool consists of a controlled group of sites or targets and their associated targeting information. significant sites, as well as more remote geographical locations Prior to the beginning of a training session, a target is randomly selected from this target pool. Information available concerning the target is kept from the trainee until after the session . (6) Training Session Preliminaries: Before a first training session is scheduled, the person being trained oriented fully to the procedure to be followed by the monitor. The traince is instructed that he or she should state only raw perceptions, since experience has shown that specific definitions are quite often wrong while initial raw perception tends to be correct. Personnel being trained are always encouraged to express their feelings and ideas for enhancing all aspects of the psychoenergetics collection process.

During the 15 minutes immediately before the session the trainee and monitor are generally silent. Experience has shown ( unpublished data) that this quiet time enhances the training process. The training room is homogeneously-colored, acoustic-tiled, and featureless, with light controlled by a dimmer, SO that During the entire environmental distractions can be minimized. process the traince and monitor function as a team. The monitor provides encouragement with words of reassurance that the task At no time is the session conducted by is, in fact, possible. the trainee in the absence of all other persons. If the trainee does not have any immediate sensory impressions, the monitor Rather, the monitor reassures the trainee applies no pressure. that there is no time limit for the training session. If it appears to the monitor that the impressions are in some way contradictory or inconsistent, the monitor may then attempt clarification by asking questions in order to verify what the trainee first describes. All sessions are tape-recorded, and pen and paper are available for the trainee to sketch his or her perceptions. Experience has shown that some trainees prefer to combine written and oral descriptions, while some prefer to work sequentially. The average training session for orientation is approximately 15 minutes of actual perception. Trainees generally are not permitted to go beyond 30 minutes as this leads to perceptual confusion and eventual loss of the training affect. (8) Post Session Dynamics: After the training session is over, the trainee and monitor obtain specific information about the target, either in picture descriptive form for remote geographic sites, or -- as in the case of local sites -- by actually visiting the target site. The trainee and monitor then discuss the session results. The purpose of this post-session activity is to provide the trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did while mental perceptions of the targeted site are still fresh in mind. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) CRV Training : (1) Purpose : To provide trainees with the requisite skills necessary to perform certain psychoenergetic applications. (2) Administered by : Contractor and subcontractor personnel. (3) Location: SRI-T Menlo Park, CA; SRI-I New York, NY; SRI-I Washington D.C .; and other mutually agreed locations as required.

Approved For Release 2005/03 09 (4) Duration: 12 to 18 months. (5) Description of Procedure: CRV training is a contracted service provided by SRI-I. The training involves lectures on theory coupled with practical exercises and drills. Particularly effective instructional procedures include active participation wherein the trainee interacts with the curriculum materials by responding, practicing, and testing each step of the material to be mastered; information feedback, wherein the traince finds out with minimal delay whether the response is correct; and individualized instruction, wherein the trainee moves ahead at his or her own rate. The training procedures have been broken down into several stages representing various elements of CRV phenomena . These stages both facilitate training and actually follow the predictable course of increasing perception which builds itself in specific increments and impact. Stages 1 through 3 appertain to general site features, which become increasingly refined as individual competency with Stage 3 techniques develops. Stage 4 involves perception of specific site elements, a good portion of which may not be available to any other intelligence techniques, save for actual penetration of the site. Stage 5 allows the trainee in a sense to reverse the procedure and "interrogate" his perceptions, allowing clarification of various specific or subtle features of the site. Stage 6 permits the construction 3-dimensional models of major site characteristics, with of increasing refinements in detail. Experience and theory extension indicates that additional increments exist beyond Stage 6. Research is underway to develop and define the parameters and potentials of these additional fields. (6) Session Dynamics : In conducting a CRV session, a remote viewer or trainee and a monitor begin by seating themselves at the opposite ends of a table in a special remote viewing room equipped with paper and pens, a tape recorder, and an overhead TV camera which allows either recording for documentation, or monitoring by individuals outside the room. The room is homogeneously-colored, acoustic-tiled, and featureless, with light controlled by a dimmer, so that The session begins environmental distractions can be minimized. when the monitor provides targeting information, in the form of specific site coordinates, to the trainee. For training purposes the monitor is allowed to know enough about the site to enable him to determine when accurate versus inaccurate information is being provided. The session then proceeds with the monitor repeating the targeting information at appropriate intervals and providing necessary feedback. The feedback procedure was designed to reinforce the trainee's contact with the site but not to assist him by random cuing. The remote viewer generates verbal responses and sketches, until a coherent Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : 14-5LP06-00788R001500040003-0

The use of the quick reaction-response procedure has been found useful in minimizing imaginative embellishment. (7) Post Session Dynamics : After the training session is over, the trainee and monitor obtain specific information about the target. As in the case of orientation training, this is presented in picture descriptive form for remote geographic sites, or in the case of local sites, may involve actually visiting the target site. The trainee and monitor then discuss the session results, again with the purpose of providing the trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did while mental perceptions of the targeted site are still fresh. c. (S/CL-3 /NOFORN) Applications Training: . (1) Purpose: To enable advanced trainees to integrate and expand acquired skills for psychoenergetic applications. (2) Administered by : CENTER LANE Project personnel. (3) Location: Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. (4) Duration : Continuous. (5) Description of Procedure : Procedures for applications training are essentially identical as those previously presented except in the style of target presented. Applications targets are actual targets of military interest, such as US facilities or USSR sites from which data are available or can eventually be obtained. Targets of this type provide a basis for judgements regarding utility, accuracy, calibration, and depth of detail for any given trainee in a real world environment. d . (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Advanced Individual Training: (1) Purpose : To provide experienced sources with advanced individual training to meet applications requirements. (2) Administered by : CENTER LANE Project personnel, and selected contractors and subcontractors. (3) Location: Fort Meade, Maryland and various contractor locations. (4) Duration : Continuous. (5) Description of Procedure: Individualized advanced training programs are developed to meet specific applications needs.

One program of particular interest is hemi-sync training conducted by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences (MIAS), Faber, VA: The MIAS hemi-sync techniques are used to teach sources to control highly specialized mental states conducive to psychoenergetic performance. This form o f advanced individual training is only used with sources of proven performance and a recognized degree of maturity. Training is accomplished in four essential phases; (1) application of the Monroe "Discovery" series done at Fort Meade to screen personnel and prepare for phase two; (2) Attendance at the MIAS Gateway program for qualified personnel, conducted in a seminar atmosphere; (3) One-on-one training sessions with Robert A. Monroe at MIAS, which are designed to "customize" individual techniques for specific individual needs; (4) use of specially designed hemi-sync environments during applications training done at Fort Meade. 8. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) PSYCHOENERGETIC APPLICATIONS : CENTER LANE sources can be used to perform psychoenergetic applications in support of intelligence and counterintelligence requirements ( see paragraph 3, above). The dynamics of applications sessions parallel those of training sessions. The sequence of events consists of the following: (1) tasking; (2) development of a collection plan; (3) conduct of psychoenergetic session(s); (4) reporting; (5) evaluation. Applications sessions are always conducted under the control and management of CENTER LANE personnel . Sessions may be conducted at Fort Meade or other locations as deemed necessary. Psychoenergetic consultants/ contractors may be employed when required to meet applications requirements. 9. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) ADDITIONAL COMMENTS : a. Selected personnel may use the hemi-sync environment in conjunction with psychoenergetic applications/ training. b . Sources and trainees may be monitored using appropriate non-intrusive biological monitoring equipment. c. The maximum number of applications sessions for each source will not exceed ten per week. d.

The INSCOM Staff Psychologist provides continuous support to the project. Facilities at Kimbrough Army Hospital, Fort Meade, MD, are available if required. 10. ( S/CL-3/NOFORN) CONFIDENTIALITY : Individuals performing as psychoenergetic trainees, sources and monitors under the CENTER LANE Project will not have their roles identified outside of their parent organization without their specific prior consent, and they will be referred to in project reports only by an alpha-numeric designator. Products of CENTER LANE such as tapes, drawings, transcripts, rosters, or other materials which might reveal the identity of the source will be coded to assure the protection of their identity. 11. (S/ CL-2/NOFORN) PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT : Psychoenergetic sessions will be conducted in an ordinary room at ambient temperature and humidity during the normal waking hours of the participants. The only limitations on these parameters will be for security from electronic eavesdropping and elimination of ordinary distractions, such as radio, office machinery, and outside noises.

However, the Board expressed concerns that future Army follow-on work might be classified as research, and as such, plans should be considered to establish credible human use review procedures to oversee GRILL FLAME activities. In April 1979, Army General Counsel determined that the Army could continue/proceed with GRILL FLAME activities as long as HEW guidelines and other appropriate precautionary measures were taken. In April 1980, the Under Secretary of the Army approved the continuation of GRILL FLAME activities. In October 1980, the DoD, DIA, and Army General Counsel jointly agreed that it would be prudent to obtain written approval from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to conduct GRILL FLAME activities. ACSI, DA concurrently initiated action to obtain Secretary of the Army approval to conduct GRILL FLAME activities. In September 1982, INSCOM GRILL FLAME activities ceased because of NFIP restrictions; INSCOM psychoenergetic activities were reinitiated in December 1982, under the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP), an S&IA activity. Secretary or Under Secretary approval for GRILL FLAME / ICLP activities has been granted on 14 January 1981, 1 February 1982 and 1 September 1983. Approvals are generally valid for one year. 2.

Approved For Rele UNGDAS /OR CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 APPENDIX B Psychological Test Descriptions 1. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) : Developed by S. R. Hathaway, Ph. D., and J. C. Mckinley, M. D., The Psychological Corporation. The MMPI is designed to provide an objective assessment of some of the major personality characteristics that affect personal and social adjustment. The point of view determining the importance of a trait in this case is that of the clinical or personnel worker who wishes to assay those traits that are commonly characteristic of disabling psychological abnormality. The carefully constructed and cross-validated scales provide a means for measuring the personality status of literate adolescents and adults together with a basis for evaluating the acceptability and dependability of each test record. Nine scales were originally developed for clinical use of the inventory and were named for the abnormal conditions on which their construction was based. The scales were not expected to measure pure traits nor to represent discrete etiological or prognostic entities. Since they have been shown to have meaning within the normal range of behavior, these scales are now commonly referred to by their abbreviations -- Hs ( hypochondriasis ), D ( depression) , Hy (Hysteria), Pd (psychopathic deviate), Mf ( masculinity- femininity ), Pa ( paranoia), Pt ( psychasthenia ) , Sc ( schizophrenia), and Ma (hypomania) -- or by their code numbers to avoid possibly misleading connotations. Many other scales have subsequently been developed from the same items; Si (social introversion) is one that is commonly scored. There are also three validating scales: L (lic), F (validity), and K ( correction) . 2. Gordon Personal Profile - Inventory (GPI) : Developed by Leonard V. Gordon, Ph.D., The Psychological Corporation. The GPI is companion instrument to the Gordon Personal Profile ( GPP ). It measures four additional traits, namely Cautiousness (C), Original Thinking (0), Personal Relations (P), and Vigor (V). The two instruments used together provide an economical coverage of eight important factors in the personality domain. Both have been found to be appropriate for use with high school, college, industrial, and general adult groups. 3. Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation - Behavior ( FIRO - B) : Developed by Will Schutz, Ph.D., Consulting Psychologists Press, Inc. The fundamental interpersonal dimensions of the FIRO Theory are; Inclusion (I), Control (C), and Affection (A) and are defined behaviorally as follows: I - The interpersonal need for inclusion is the need to establish Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA, UNCLASSIFIED 1500040003-0 B-1

C - The interpersonal need for control is the need to establish and maintain satisfactory relationship with people with respect to control and power. A - The interpersonal need for affection is the need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with others with respect to love and affection. 4. California Psychological Inventory (CPI ) : Developed by Harrison G. Gough, Ph. D., Consulting Psychologists Press Inc. The CPI is intended primarily for use with "normal" (non-psychiatrically disturbed) subjects. Its scales are addressed to personality characteristics important for social living and social interaction, i.e., to variables that are woven into the fabric of everyday life. "Folk concepts" such as these are hypothesized to be relevant to the prediction and understanding of interpersonal behavior in any setting, culture, or circumstance. Thus, although the inventory has been found to have special utility in work with particular kinds of problems, c.g . , delinquent and asocial behavior, it can also provide information of value in regard to educational, vocational, familial, and many other issues. 5. Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS ) : Developed by Allen L. Edwards, Ph. D. , University of Washington. The EPPS was designed primarily as an instrument for research and counseling purposes, to provide quick and convenient measures of a number of relatively independent normal personality variables. The statements in the EPPS and the variables that these statements purport to measure have their origin in a list of manifest needs presented by H. A. Murray and other noted psychologists. The names that have been assigned to the variables are those used by Murray. These 15 measurable personality variables are; achievement (ach), deference (def), order (ord), exhibition (exh), autonomy (aut), affiliation (aff), intraception (int), succorance (suc), dominance (dom), abasement (aba), nurturance (nur), change (chg), endurance (end), heterosexuality (het), and aggression (agg ) . In addition to the above 15 personality variables, the ZPPS provides a measure of test consistency and a measure of profile stability. 6. Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) : Developed by Everett L. Shostrom, Ph. D., Educational and Industrial Testing Service, San Diego, California. The profile on the POI shows the degree to which the subject's attitudes and values compare with those of self-actualizing people. A self-actualizing person is one who is more fully functioning and who lives a more enriched life than does the average person. Such a person is developing and utilizing his unique talents to the fullest extent. Approved For Release 2005/03/09 BCIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 UNCLASSIFIED

(U) RECOMMENDED POSITION : That CENTER LANE operations, training, and development continue within the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command. 3. (U) POINTS SUPPORTING RECOMMENDED POSITION: a . £ ( S/CL-3/NOFORN) Since October 1978, when ACSI (then MG Thompson) tasked INSCOM to develop a parapsychology program (then GRILL FLAME), INSCOM has through strictly controlled, thoroughly documented, and carefully monitored training, operations, and development established the feasibility and soundness of the remote viewing phenomenon as an intelligence collection tool. Without continuation, this crucial momentum would be lost. b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Since May 1981, when I assumed command of INSCOM, the project (now CENTER LANE) has provided the U.S. Army and such agencies as DIA, CIA, NSA, FBI, and the Secret Service critical intelligence unavailable from other sources. Without continuation, the Intelligence Community would lose a valuable collection capability which now allows penetration of intelligence targets inaccessible to any conventional system. Two evaluations, one from the CIA and one from the NSA, are attached. c. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Continuing work in the academic and R&D communities has refined the methodology, demonstrating far greater accuracy, control, and reliability than ever before. Without continuation, CENTER LANE would be kept from realizing its true potential.

This argument simply does not stand up in the face of many valid scientific replications conducted by reputable institutions such as Princeton University, Maimonidies Medical Center, Bell Laboratories, McDonnell Douglas Corporation and SRI-International, among others. In addition, a Congressionally directed independent scientific review panel concluded in October 1983, "The evidence shown to us is too impressive to dismiss as mere coincidence." b. ( S/CL-2/NOFORN) "The phenomenon is not well understood and therefore has no practical value. " The users of intelligence produced by CENTER LANE feel that it does have ·value. c . ( S/CL-2/NOFORN ) "The phenomenon is the work of the devil and should not be exploited." This is an emotional statement that critics and skeptics of the CENTER LANE Project occasionally use because they do not accept an explanation of the phenomenon.

(U) We have completed a review of project CENTER LANE with a focus on resources involved, results obtained and the role of INSCOM in this area. 2. (S) INSCOM has invested considerable effort over a long period of time to develop the remote viewing technology. As a result the Army enjoys a monopoly on this revolutionary concept for intelligence collection. We must insure that we do not lose this knowledge and experience in any action taken to change INSCOM's role in the use and development of the technology. 3. (S) I am concerned about these three aspects of the program. a. Continued research and development. We cannot abandon the work already done if for no other reason than to keep pace with the effort being expended by our adversaries. b. Current operations. Intelligence users in the Army, DIA, NSA and CIA have all tasked this methodology to augment established disciplines and for missions that would be extremely difficult or impractical for any other collection resource. The Intelligence Community cannot afford the loss of this capability while it waits for a total refinement and understanding of the observed phenomenon. c. People involved. Changing INSCOM's role affects the dedicated personnel involved. We must insure the timely and fair reassignment of our excellent cadre who may or may not wish or be able to participate in some further continuation of the program. 4. (S) In spite of these concerns it is my opinion that INSCOM, who has supported this project with S and IA funds and personnel assigned without spaces, should discontinue our involvement with psychoenergetic research and operations. To mitigate adverse impact in the areas of concern expressed above I intend to cease INSCOM CENTER LANE Project operations on 30 Bept 1984, but allow completion of outstanding contracts and training by 31 December 1984.

USAINSCOM has invested considerable effort since 1977 in developing psychoenergetic operational methods. Intelligence consumers in the US Army, US Air Force, DIA, NSA, CIA, and NSC have all tasked this methodology 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. The transfer of ICLP capability to DIA must be done in such a way as to maintain continuity and momentum of effort, as well as the state-of-the-art expertise exclusive to this time-proven, highly respected activity. 4. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) SCOPE. The effective transfer of ICLP to DIA requires the cooperation of INSCOM, DA (ACSI), and DIA. 5. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) ) AGREEMENTS, SUPPORT, AND RESOURCES REQUIREMENTS. The "package deal" concept has been agreed to in principle by all parties involved. This concept has as its intent the transfer of all personnel, documents, equipment, and office space from INSCOM to DIA. The transfer of ICLP personnel to DIA will not involve the transfer of any INSCOM spaces. ICLP has been an active intelligence collection unit since 1978. It is intended that the unit will remain an operational element under the direct OPCON of the Assistant Vice Director for Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DT), DIA. a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Personnel. All personnel assigned to INSCOM and working on ICLP will be encouraged to PCS to DIA for assignment to the DIA element that will perform the psychoenergetic training and collection mission. (Operational participation with CENTER LANE 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. ) b. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Documents. All documents maintained by ICLP will be transferred to, and become the property and responsibility of, DIA. INSCOM will be permitted to retain access to command and control and historical ICLP documents. Equipment. A11 ICLP equipment, rental agreements, and on hand supplies will be transferred to DIA. ICLP automatic data processing equipment and automobiles will remain with INSCOM. c. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) d . (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Office Space. The affected agencies have agreed that the best course of action would be to continue to use the ICLP facilities at Ft. Meade, MD, which consists of two buildings, T-2560 and T-2561. Use of the Ft. Meade facility will provide the least amount of turmoil for the personnel involved, Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 SLUNCI

(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL) PURPOSE. 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 under the கவசம் CG, USAINSCOM PLCLASSIFY ON' OADR Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0ING NOTICE: SENSITIVE HOA ZZARLOABLE TO FOREIGN NATICALLS SECRET JATIUIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED

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 psychoenergetic 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 psychoenergetic 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.

SECRET DP96-00788R001500040003-0 IAGPA-F-SD 22 October 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: Training Plan 1 October 1984 - 31 December 1984 (U) 1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) During the period 1 October 1984 to 31 December 1984, the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) will be transferred to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). IAW directives, ICLP ceased psychoenergetic intelligence collection activities on 30 September 1984. During the period of transition to DIA, ICLP is, however, authorized to continue psychoenergetic training. The following training will be conducted during the transition period: a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Coordinate Remote Viewing ( CRV) . CRV is a contracted form of training in psychoenergetic perception provided by a SRI- International (SRI - I) subcontractor, Ingo Swann, who coined the term CRV. Training is conducted at SRI- International facilities in Menlo Park, CA and New York, NY. Four ICLP personnel are being trained in what have come to be known as CRV Stages I, II, and III of a multi-stage system of psychoenergetic perception. One additional ICLP individual, who has completed Stages I, II, III, IV, and VI, is being trained in Stage V. This individual, who is considered operational, is expected to complete Stage V training before the end of November 1984. Personnel training in Stages I, II, III are ICLP initiates and as such have not achieved a sufficient level of expertise to be operationally employed. Having completed Stages I and II, these four personnel will begin Stage III training on 22 October 1984. They are expected (required by contract) to complete Stage III by the end of December 1984. It is anticipated and recommended 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 COPY 2 OF 2 COPIES Approved For Release 2005/03/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 SECRET
Approved For Release SFOCREARDP96-0 : CIA- RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 that Ingo Swann CRV training will be continued with these trainees, specifically Stages IV, V, and VI. They have adapted well to the Swann training model and continuation would be in the best interests of the individuals involved and the operational requirements of DIA. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) In-house Remote Viewing. In-house remote viewing training is conducted by knowledgeable personnel within ICLP. Training is based on the application of years of experience culled together from academic insight, scientific experiments, and operational applications. It is the principle means through which technology has been transferred from contractors to the ICLP. Two ICLP personnel are presently involved in a CRV phase of in-house remote viewing training in which basic principles drawn from the Ingo Swann CRV methodology in conjunction with time tested practices of the ICLP are being applied. The purpose of this in-house training is to introduce newly assigned personnel to psychoenergetics, identify psychoenergetic abilities, and develop recommendations for further training/utilization. c. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Abstract Referents Discrimination of Binary Alternatives (ARDBA). Two separate sponsors have asked if ICLP sources could compromise existing cryptographic systems. To address this question, a complex program of training/testing has been implemented. Phase one of this program will determine if ICLP sources have the ability to discriminate between binary alternatives to a statistically significant level. If a source with this ability can be identified, he will enter phase two of the program which will test an ICLP source's ability to discriminate between binary alternatives given different levels of feedback. This program phase will serve to enhance an identified ability as well as develop an internalized feeling of confidence within the source. During the third phase of the program the ICLP source's ability to discriminate between binary alternatives in response to given abstract referents will be identified and developed. In order to satisfy the identified operational requirement (compromise existing cryptographic systems), an ICLP source must be able to accurately discriminate between binary alternatives given a complex abstract referent cuing system. Once these training stages have been completed an in-house pilot project can be conducted. In this project an attempt might be made to decode a randomly developed sequence of numbers contained in a sealed envelope. If the pilot project is successful, sponsors can be asked to provide their own cryptographic information for attempted decoding and compromise by ICLP sources. Two ICLP sources are presently involved in this ARDBA training. Approved For Release 2005/03/09 - CIA-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 SECRET

(S/CL-3/NOFORN) The week of 1 to 5 October 1985, four coordinate remote viewing ( CRV) trainees completed Stage II and one trainee worked on Stage V at the SRI-I New York office. During the same period, two trainees were involved in in-house CRV and binary discrimination training. SRI- I CRV training details are on file.with the SRI-I subcontractor in New York and under separate cover as trip reports in the CENTER LANE (CL) office at Fort Meade. Results of in-house training show promise and are on file under separate cover in the CL office at Fort Meade . 3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) From 9 to 19 October 1985, in-house validation of SRI-I CRV training yielded positive results. Sessions are on file at the CL office. All SRI-I CRV trainees exceeded expected goals. During the same period, two trainees were involved in in-house CRV and binary discrimination training. Results of in-house training are on file under separate cover in the CL office at Fort Meade. 4. ( S/CL-3/NOFORN) Comment on in-house training: Although training in CRV is very slow, progress is definitely evident. Both of the trainees have demonstrated an ability to remote view and have responded t training designed to enhance that ability. The trainees are motivated, eager, and ready to continue CRV training. Binary discrimination training is also slow but both trainees have exhibited results exceeding chance probability. Their goal will be to stabilize and gain control of this ability.
