MEMORANDUM THRU VICE CHIEF OF STAFF, ARTY RIA
ARMY GENERAL COUNSEL ---
FOR SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
SUBJECT :
CENTER LANE (U) -- ACTION MEMORANDUM
1. (U)
Purpose:
To obtain your approval for the Army to
engage in CENTER LANE activities.
2, (U)
Discussion :
a.
(S/CL-1/NOFORN)
CENTER LANE is a US Army Intelligence
and Security Command ( INSCOM) Special Access Program (SAP) which
utilizes an aspect of parapsychology known as remote viewing as
the collection method for obtaining information of intelligence
interest. The CENTER LANE SAP has been approved by the
Secretary of the Army; however, the signed action is being held
by the Army General Counsel for review of human use issues
addressed in this paper.
b. (S/CL-1/NOFORN)
Army participation in GRILL FLAME,
the predecessor to CENTER LANE, was most recently approved by
Secretary of the Army on 1 Feb 82 (TAB A). Two areas were
addressed by the Army General Counsel in his memorandum which
deserve comment concerning CENTER LANE activities, namely human
experimentation and funding issues.
(1)
(S/CL-1/NOFORN)
CENTER LANE's use of human sub-
jects remains as stated in the enclosed 14 Jan 82 Decision
Memorandum on GRILL FLAME.
As in the case of GRILL FLAME
CENTER LANE has demonstrated that important foreign intelligence
and counterintelligence information may be obtained through the
use of remote viewing and the Army's continued involvement is
warranted. The Central Intelligence Agency, the National
Security Agency, and OACSI, HQDA have all requested and received
support from CENTER LANE.

(2)
(S/CL-1/NOFORN) Personnel spaces and funding for
CENTER LANE have been taken "out of hide" by INSCOM within the
Army Security and Investigative Activities (S&IA) program for
FY 83 and 84. Requirements for FY 85-89 are included in the
INSCOM S&IA budget submission.
Per request of the Director,
General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) Staff, a GDIP sub-
mission was also provided to be included in the Congressional
Budget Justification Book only if prior Congressional approval
is obtained.
Additionally, the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Research, Development and Acquisition) has agreed to fund
CENTER LANE training and research projects with Program 6
resources and the first two projects will be submitted for
approval in the near future.
3. (C)
Recommendation :
That the Secretary of the Army approve
our continued participation in CENTER LANE activities within
INSCOM, with appropriate contractors and in a cooperative effort
with DIA. Army participation will continue to be in strict
accordance with the provisions of Procedure 13, DOD Regulation
5240.1-R.
