to identify the action without recourse to other sources.)

ORIGIN OF ACTION:
CG decision, and subsequent ACSI and
Secretary of the Army approval, to discontinue INSCOM CENTER LANE
Project ( ICLP) and transfer personnel and equipment to DIA ( Blue TAB A) .
(U)
DISCUSSION:
a .
( S/CL-2/NOFORN)
On 26 September 1984, the CG INSCOM approved an
MOA that would transfer
the ICLP to DIA with an effective date of 1
January 1985 (Blue TAB B).
The MOA had as its intent a total transfer
of personnel, operations, equipment, and responsibility.
The ACSI
approved the MOA on 4 October 1984, and authorized a detailing action
for a period of one year, if necessary (Blue TAB C).
The MOA was
delivered to DIA for review and coordination on 10 October 1984.
b. .
(S/CL-2/NOFORN)
Concurrent with
and subsequent
to
the
preparation of the MOA, the ICLP Manager met with DIA officials to
discuss the transfer.
On 19 November 1984, the ICLP Manager learned
that due to intricacies in funding, DIA could not support a total
transfer action at this time and therefore could not agree to the terms
of the MOA.
DIA resource managers stated that they would request a
detailing of ICLP resources and that either

Staff, or LTG Williams, Director, DIA, would contact MG Soyster "in the
near future" to discuss the concept of temporary detailing vice the
total transfer of ICLP at this time. The ICLP Manager informed these
DIA personnel, who supported a detailing position, of MG Soyster's
strong desire to effect a total transfer.
The ICLP Manager briefed COL
Kirk and MG Soyster on these developments on 20 and 21 November 1984,
respectively.
c. (S/CL-2/NOFORN)
As of 6 December 1984, DIA still intended to
request a detailing action.
The memorandum at Blue TAB D explains the
basis for the DIA decision, provides rationale for a detailing action,
and addresses the impact a detailing action will have on INSCOM
resources .
d.
(S/CL-3/NOFORN)
Recommend that CG INSCOM
approve the DIA
request
to
detail
INSCOM personnel to
perform
psychoenergetic
intelligence collection and counterintelligence activities. The impact
on INSCOM resources will be the loss of two TDA spaces for the period of
the detail and administrative costs (civilian salaries, word processing
equipment maintenance, and equipment rental) that are estimated to be
$60,000 for the remainder of FY 85.
(U)
WHAT THIS ACTION WILL ACCOMPLISH:
a .
( S/CL-3/NOFORN)
Transfer
the responsibility
for
all
DoD
psychoenergetic activity to DIA.
b.
( S/CL-3/NOFORN)
Satisfy the requirement to cancel
INSCOM's
involvement in psychoenergetics IAW the directive of CG INSCOM.
c.
(S/CL-2/NOFORN)
Permit the Intelligence Community to continue
the
to
use a proven team of highly qualified professionals in
application of psychoenergetics
as
an
intelligence collection and
counterintelligence tool.
