Approved For Release 2000/09 OF EFE DE ENS UNITED STATES OF REPLY TO ATTENTION OF: IAGPA-F-SD 9 March 1984 MEMORANDUM THRU Mr. Del Toro, ADCSOPS-HUMINTIana COL Guild, DCSOPS COL Kirk, CofS -BG Scanlon, DCG-S CS Su my Note FOR MG Stubblebine, CG, INSCOM SUBJECT : CENTER LANE FY 86 - 90 GDIP Submission 1. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Since the beginning of USAINSCOM's exploitation of psychoenergetics (PE) technology with Project GRILL FLAME, up through the present effort under CENTER LANE, the program has been conducted on an ad hoc basis, using resources taken "out of hide." Despite the provisional approach, Project results have been very impressive. State-of-the-art in psychoenergetics has advanced so far, however, that the current organizational approach is no longer adequate to derive the maximum benefit and intelligence potential from available technology. In recognition of this, directives received in the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Program Manager's Guidance Memorandum (PMGM), Fiscal Years 1986-1990 (U), Substantive Guidance document require the provision of "unranked packages to fund the operational use of CENTER LANE capabilities" (para 5i, Incl 1). 2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) A proposed organization is attached as Inclosure 2. Designed not only to expand and enhance already proven methods of individual PE intelligence collection operations, this proposal establishes a framework for the development and use of synergistic technology, where individual PE collection resources are pooled to "saturate" a target, intensifying collection capability. In order to support the concept, resources must be planned, programmed and budgeted to facilitate the creation of this organization.

Approved For Release 2 SECRET CIA-RDP96-00788R001600450001-6 IAGPA-F-SD SUBJECT: CENTER LANE FY 86 - 90 GDIP Submission 3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Presently, the use of National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP) funds for support of PE operations is proscribed by Congress. However, support for such operations throughout the national intelligence community has grown to the extent that an effort is being made to overturn that decision. If CG INSCOM approves the attached concept, recommend that New Initiatives (as attached at Inclosure 3) be submitted through both GDIP and Security and Investigative Activities (S&IA) channels. Submission through both is deemed necessary to allow for S&IA approval should the NFIP/GDIP funding prohibition not be lifted. 4. (S/NOFORN) The compartmented nature of the information that is included in the justification documents requires that CENTER LANE initiatives be submitted separately from INSCOM's standard Program Analysis Resource Review/Total Army Analysis (TAA/PARR) and NFIP/GDIP submissions. Upon approval of the concept, the proposed CENTER LANE TAA/PARR and NFIP/GDIP packets will be transmitted directly to DAMI-ISH, ACSI DA for action. 5. (U) Submission of the CENTER LANE initiative by HQ, USAINSCOM in the Planning, Programing, and Budget (PPB) process implies an agreement by the command that if the initiative is approved at the DA and DoD level, USAINSCOM is prepared to implement the program at the beginning of FY 86. This means that there will be a requirement to provide 36 personnel to form the organization, effective 1 October 1985. If the required manpower spaces cannot be obtained from sources outside of USAINSCOM, personnel may have to be derived from internal programs. 6. (U) POC is LTC Brian Buzby, AVN 923-7829/2656.
