CENTER LANE Historical Overview
The only information paper read by MG Odom was "CENTER LANE
Personnel Selection Procedures" ( TAB F, Incl 2) .
Also prepared
for the briefing was the "CENTER LANE Selected Projects Book"
which documents in detail 6 of the 31 projects conducted by this
office since MG Odom's last briefing in November 1981. The
"CENTER LANE Selected Projects Book" is maintained under
separate cover by this office.
During the briefing, MG Odom
scanned the book which contains Agent Reports, cuing
information, and sponsor evaluations, and read carefully the
summary sheets provided for each of the six selected projects
(Incl 3).
2.
(S/CL-3/NOFORN)
The briefing was well received by MG Odom.
During the briefing, MG Odom asked several pertinent questions
and made several astute comments.
They are listed below:
a .
(S/CL-1/NOFORN)
What
is a remote viewing interview?
(Complete answer provided. )
b.

How
are
these projects tasked?
(Complete answer provided;
DAMI-ISH tasked to determine if

NOTE :
CENTER LANE and GRILL FLAME efforts have always
had concurrent R&D and operational activities.
The approval
procedures for the efforts were available in an Information
Paper, subject :

GOOD AFTERNOON,
SIR.
I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY
WILL
OPERATIONS OFFICER,
I HOPE TO PROVIDE YOU
WITH AN UPDATE ON INSCOM'S ACTIVITIES UNDER THE CENTER LANE
PROGRAM. THE THRUST OF THE BRIEFING WILL BE ON THE PROGRAM'S
ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE YOUR LAST BRIEFING BY PROJECT PERSONNEL IN
NOVEMBER 1981.
WHILE I WOULD LIKE TO START THE BRIEFING BY
DISCUSSING OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, I AM PREPARED TO ELABORATE ON
OTHER TOPICS AS YOU DESIRE.
( INSERT OTHER SUBJECTS AS REQUIRED)
THE CENTER LANE MISSION HAS BEEN TO USE REMOTE VIEWING AS AN
OPERATIONAL TECHNIQUE TO COLLECT INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION TO
ENHANCE OTHER INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION SYSTEMS, AND TO DETERMINE
IF REMOTE VIEWING COULD BE LEARNED BY PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE
PERSONNEL WHO WERE NOT ESTABLISHED "PSYCHICS". FROM THE
PROGRAMS START IN OCTOBER 1978 INSCOM HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT
REMOTE VIEWING IS AN EFFECTIVE INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION
COLLECTION TOOL, AND PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS CAN BE
TRAINED IN REMOTE VIEWING.
VALIDATION OF REMOTE VIEWING BY INSCOM WAS INITIALLY
ACCOMPLISHED WITH A HIGHLY CONTROLLED, OBJECTIVE IN-HOUSE
PROGRAM OF TRAINING FOR

ASSIGNED PERSONNEL .
OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD APPROXIMATELY 350
OF THESE CONTROLLED REMOTE VIEWINGS WERE CONDUCTED.
SUCH
VALIDATION CONTINUES TODAY INDEPENDENT OF CONTRACTOR'S EFFORTS.
SINCE THE FIRST OPERATIONAL INTERVIEW IN SEPTEMBER 1979,
PROJECT PERSONNEL HAVE CONDUCTED 726 OPERATIONAL REMOTE VIEWING
INTERVIEWS IN SUPPORT OF 96 INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR
A NUMBER OF U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CUSTOMERS.
THIS CHART
SHOWS OUR RESULTS FROM THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD.
IT IS IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THE NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL SOURCES WE HAD AVAILABLE.

1980: 41;
1981: 20;
1982: 11;

SINCE WE LAST BRIEFED YOU IN NOVEMBER 1981 WE HAVE CONDUCTED
31 PROJECTS.
SEVEN OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE ON-GOING.

THIS CHART
DEPICTS THE INTELLIGENCE VALUE OF THE OTHER 24 PROJECTS AS
REPORTED TO US BY THE PROJECT'S SPONSORS.
I WILL USE A THREE PHASE APPROACH TO ILLUSTRATE TO YOU OUR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CAPABILITIES. FIRST I WILL PROVIDE A BRIEF
OVERVIEW OF THE RESULTS OF SEVERAL PROJECTS.
NEXT I WILL ASK
YOU TO EXAMINE IN DETAIL THE RESULTS OF SIX PROJECTS.
FINALLY I
WILL EXPLAIN OUR OPERATING PROCEDURES.

I WOULD NOW LIKE TO DISCUSS OUR OPERATING PROCEDURES.
AS I HAVE ILLUSTRATED, CENTER LANE RESPONDS TO TASKINGS FOR
THE ENTIRE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. A PROJECT BEGINS WHEN A
"CUSTOMER" CONTACTS THE CENTER LANE PROJECT MANAGER DIRECTLY TO
DISCUSS THE FEASABILITY OF USING PSYCHOENERGETICS TO COLLECT
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION.

AGENCIES OUTSIDE OF INSCOM MUST RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM OACSI TO
TASK CENTER LANE.
IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE DIRECT CONTACT BETWEEN CENTER LANE
PERSONNEL AND THE CUSTOMER IN ORDER TO DEVELOP NECESSARY CUING
DATA AND EEI.
ONCE THE PROJECT MANAGER DETERMINES CENTER LANE
IS AN APPROPRIATE TASKING AGENCY, HE ACCEPTS THE PROJECT,
NOTIFIES HIS CHAIN OF COMMAND OF THE TASKING, PROCESSES THE
PROJECT ADMINISTRATIVELY, AND ASSIGNS THE PROJECT TO AVAILABLE
RESOURCES.
ONE PROJECT MAY HAVE SEVERAL SOURCE INTERVIEWS.
EACH IS
STRUCTURED BY A MONITOR WHO PREPARES THE SOURCE FOR THE
INTERVIEW, PROVIDES THE CUING DATA, GUIDES THE SOURCE 'S EFFORTS
TO RESPOND TO THE EEI, RECORDS THE DATA, AND PREPARES THE REPORT.
EVERY INTERVIEW IS RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED,
FROM THE
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION THE MONITOR PREPARES AN AGENT REPORT.
AFTER THE REPORT IS PREPARED, THE CUSTOMER IS CONTACTED AND TOLD
THAT A REPORT IS READY FOR REVIEW.
AGAIN THERE IS DIRECT
CONTACT BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE CENTER LANE OFFICE.
AT
THIS TIME, THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS THE TRANSCRIPT AND RECEIVES A
COPY OF THE REPORT.

THE PROJECT IS CLOSED WHEN ALL EEI HAVE BEEN SATISFIED AND
REPORTS DELIVERED.
CENTER LANE MANAGEMENT REQUESTS A WRITTEN
EVALUATION FOR EACH REPORT AND FOR THE PROJECT. THOSE
EVALUATIONS PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE ACCURACY OF THE SOURCE
AND THE INTELLIGENCE VALUE OF THE INFORMATION DEVELOPED.
SIR, I WILL NOW DISCUSS OUR FUTURE.
CENTER LANE IS AN
OPERATIONAL COLLECTION ACTIVITY CONDUCTED WITHIN INSCOM IN A
COOPERATIVE EFFORT WITH DIA. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A PERSONNEL
STRENGTH OF EIGHT.
THAT INCLUDES MYSELF, THE OPERATIONS
OFFICER, ONE FULLY OPERATIONAL SOURCE, THREE SOURCES IN VARIOUS
STAGES OF TRAINING, AND TWO SECRETARIES.
WE ARE SCHEDULED TO
RECEIVE THREE MORE INDIVIDUALS BY THIS SUMMER.
THEY WILL BE
TRAINED AS INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVES.
OUR EFFORTS FOR FY 84 ARE
FUNDED WITH P-6 FUNDS OBTAINED THROUGH THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
OF THE ARMY FOR RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION AND
PROGRAMMED INSCOM S&IA FUNDS. RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR FY 85 WILL
BE CONTINGENT UPON THE CONTINUATION OF DIA'S R&D EFFORTS.

CONGRESSIONAL CONSTRAINTS ON THE USE OF NFIP RESOURCES IN THE
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS, DIA, WHICH IS
ALMOST ENTIRELY FUNDED UNDER NFIP, CAN NOT ADMINISTER THE
PROGRAM.
BECAUSE THE CENTER LANE PROJECT MEETS THE
CONGRESSIONAL GUIDANCE, DIA ASKED OACSI IF THE ARMY WOULD BE
WILLING TO CONTINUE DIA RESEARCH EFFORTS UNDER CENTER LANE.
INSCOM AGREED TO THE DIA REQUEST AND OACSI DAMI-ISH INITIATED
ACTION TO ACCOMPLISH DIA'S REQUEST.
DIA COORDINATED THEIR AREAS OF INTEREST IN PSYCHOENERGETIC
RESEARCH WITH INSCOM TO ENSURE THEIR RESEARCH PROJECTS WOULD
SUPPORT INSCOM'S CENTER LANE PROGRAM.
THE SPECIFIC TASKS THAT
DIA WILL CONTRACT FOR ARE AS SHOWN ON THIS CHART.
THESE DIA
INITIATIVES WILL COMPLEMENT INSCOM'S EFFORTS.
INSCOM'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE USDRE FUNDING TO SUPPORT WORK WHICH
DIA HAD INTENDED TO PURSUE DURING FY 84 WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING
ADVANTAGES.
A.
ELIMINATE INSCOM'S NEED TO OBTAIN FY 85 USDRE FUNDING TO
CONTINUE PSYCHOENERGETICS RESEARCH.
B.
ENABLE SRI-INTERNATIONAL TO CONTINUE ITS
PSYCHOENERGETICS RESEARCH WELL INTO FY 85.

THIS SECTION OF THE BRIEFING WILL COVER THE FUNDING OF THE
PROGRAM FROM 1979 TO THE PRESENT.
THE CHART SHOWS OUR COSTS
LESS PERSONNEL SALARIES FOR FYS 1979 THROUGH 1983.
IN 1979, THE
TOTAL COST OF INSCOM WAS $87K, $75K OF WHICH WENT TO SRI FOR
ORIENTATION TRAINING.
IN 1980, INSCOM'S COSTS FOR THE PROJECT
WERE ONLY $42K AND THERE WERE NO EXTERNAL CONTRACTS.
IN 1981,
FUNDING LEVELS WERE INCREASED TO PERMIT INSCOM TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE JOINT SERVICES GRILL FLAME PROGRAM WITH DIA. OF THE $201K
SPENT IN 1981, $190K WENT TO EXTERNAL CONTRACTS WITH SRI
IN
SUPPORT OF THE JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM AND OUR OWN TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS.
1982 WAS THE SECOND AND LAST YEAR OF INSCOM'S
SUPPORT TO THE JOINT SERVICES PROGRAM DUE TO CONGRESSIONAL
RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THE USE OF NFIP FUNDS. OF THE TOTAL
$245K COSTS FOR 1982, $128K WAS SPENT IN SUPPORT OF THIS JOINT
