SUBJECT:
CENTER LANE Meeting with DIA - 20 July 1984 (U)
C.
The program must be preserved by ensuring personnel have
long-term assignments and personal anonymity.
d.
The effort must be kept small (11 sounded too large) .
Specific faces and numbers are subject to negotiation based on
perceived DIA requirements as determined by Dr. Vorona.
SG1J
e .
Dr. Vorona (and
his representative) will
coordinate
with CENTER
LANE personnel the transfer
of
operational, training,
and research and development
£
(R&D)
functions with the goal of maintaining continuity.
f.
Dr. Vorona stated that maintaining personnel and offices
at Ft. Meade would be desirable.
g .
Personnel assigned to DIA will initially be in TIARA
billets and operationally under the control of AT as opposed to
DT (Dr. Vorona's office) .
h.
Dr.
Vorona
will
maintain
overall
oversight
responsibility within DIA for both operational and R & D aspects.
i.
Plans are to establish a "high level" subcommittee from
the intelligence community to provide centralized tasking and
evaluation of the operational effort.
3.
( S/CL-3/NOFORN)
The meeting ended with a spirit of
cooperation and enthusiasm for the future of psychoenergetic
operations and research.
The intent of all parties concerned is
clear, but the administrative arrangements required to carry out
such an intent are monumental in scope.
Will the Army
(ACSI/INSCOM?) agree to provide "overage billets" to DIA?
Can
(presently trained, reliable) military personnel be assigned on
a long term basis and with personal anonymity to DIA without
damage to career status?
Will present personnel volunteer for
assignment to a DIA psychoenergetic program?
Can DIA make
arrangements with HQ, Ft. Meade to use present INSCOM
facilities? These questions and more must still be resolved.
