MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
SUBJECT: Request for renewal of human use approval - ACTION MEMORANDUM (U)
(S/NF/SS-2) This request is in response to your desire for annual review of
the DIA psychoenergetics activity (enclosure 1).
(S/NF/SS-2) During
1985,
DIA
continued
to
pursue
development
of
psychoenergetics applications
for the Intelligence Community by accepting
operational control of the USAINSCOM CENTER LANE unit. In FY 1986, 12 DIA
billets were authorized by Congress for this activity, and the CENTER LANE
unit was transferred to DIA
to form the nucleus of an operational
psychoenergetics development effort. We are in the process of completing
staffing action, and should have the remaining authorized billets filled
shortly.
This effort is now an approved DoD special access program (SUN
STREAK). Additional background material can be found in enclosure 2.
(S/NF/SS-2) In 1985 and into early 1986, the primary focus of SUN STREAK was
to improve psychoenergetic skills using proven training techniques.
Three
individuals progressed from mid-levels of training into operational training
phases.
It is anticipated that select operational tasks will be pursued
during 1986, and that limited unit operational readiness can be achieved by
mid-1987.
(S/NF/SS-2) Initial
applications
will
be
limited
to
tasks
where
psychoenergetics data
comp lement
information
from
other
intelligence
collection sources
(e.g., help narrow down
search possibilities, define
general characteristics of concealed weapon systems). Psychoenergetics data
may also have potential in a tip-off role (e.g., predict new terrorist
activity). An Intelligence Community Task Coordinating Group has been
established to identify potential tasks for consideration in future SUN
STREAK operations. Members of this group are senior executives from DIA,
CIA, AIA, AF/IN, DNI, C3I and NSA.
(S/NF/SS-2) Activity of the SUN STREAK project is monitored and reviewed by
an executive-level oversight panel. This panel is chaired by Mr. D. Latham,
ASDC3I. Members include Lt Gen Perroots, DR/DIA, with equivalent membership
from CIA and other intelligence agencies anticipated in the future.
WARNING NOTICE: This material is restricted to those
SECRET
with verified access to SUN STREAK LEVEL 2 (SS-2).

psychoenergetics activity so that the SUN STREAK program can continue. There
will be no change to program procedures.
