I AM LTC BUZBY, PROJECT MANAGER FOR INSCOM PROJECT CENTER LANE.
I
WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY OPERATIONS OFFICER, FRED
ATWATER.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS BRIEFING IS TO ORIENT YOU TO A
UNIQUE INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION PROJECT THAT USES THE CENTER LANE
TECHNIQUE.
I WILL DISCUSS THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM, TRAINING,
OPERATIONS, AND OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
FOLLOWING
THE
BRIEFING, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A TOUR OF OUR OPERATIONAL
BUILDING. THE OVERALL CLASSIFICATION OF THE BRIEFING IS SECRET,
CENTER LANE LEVEL 4.
SIR, CENTER LANE IS A REGISTERED DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY SPECIAL
ACCESS PROGRAM.
THAT STATUS AND THE SENSITIVITY OF THE CENTER
LANE
MISSION
REQUIRE
US . TO
ADHERE
TO
STRICT
SECURITY
PROCEDURES.
AS PART OF THOSE PROCEDURES, WE ASK ALL PERSONNEL
WHO RECEIVE A CENTER LANE BRIEFING TO COMPLETE A SECURITY
BRIEFING CERTIFICATE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE
SENSITIVITY OF CENTER LANE INFORMATION.
GENERAL SCANLON, YOU
ALREADY COMPLETED THE CERTIFICATE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
GRILL FLAME PROJECT.
(CHART 1)
SIR, THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT INVOLVES THE USE
OF PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR INTELLIGENCE PURPOSES.
PSYCHOENERGETICS
ARE THE PROCESSES BY WHICH
AN
INDIVIDUAL MAY PSYCHICALLY
INTERACT WITH OBJECTS, LOCATIONS, ORGANISMS OR EVENTS. THIS
INCLUDES SUCH DISCIPLINES AS PSYCHOKENESIS, REMOTE VIEWING, AND
REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS.

SINCE 1972, THE US GOVERNMENT,
INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EXAMINING POTENTIAL USES OF
PSYCHOENERGETICS.
IN THE EARLY 1970'S SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR
PSYCHOENERGETICS, PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF REMOTE VIEWING AS AN
INTELLIGENCE GATHERING TOOL, RECEIVED GREAT IMPETUS FROM WHAT
CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS ASTOUNDING SUCCESSES IN REMOTE VIEWING
RESEARCH BY TWO LASER PHYSICISTS AT SRI INTERNATIONAL.
REMOTE
VIEWING IS AN SRI INTERNATIONAL COINED TERM WHICH IS DEFINED AS
THE ACQUISITION AND DESCRIPTION BY MENTAL MEANS,
OF INFORMATION
BLOCKED FROM ORDINARY PERCEPTION BY DISTANCE,
SHIELDING
OR
TIME.
USING SEVERAL APPARENTLY GIFTED PSYCHIC
SUBJECTS, THE
SCIENTISTS CONDUCTED A REVIEW OF
CIA-SPONSORED TESTS.
MUCH
DETAILED,
ACCURATE
INFORMATION,
SOME
OF
IT
PREVIOUSLY
UNREPORTED, WAS PROVIDED ABOUT A SECRET NSA FACILITY, THE SOVIET
R&D FACILITY
IN
SEMIPALITINSK
(SEMI-POLY-TINSK ),
GUERRILLA
SG1C
SG1C
SG1C
TRAINING BASES
IN
LIBYA
BECAUSE OF THESE ORIGINAL TESTS,
THE LAST DECADE OF WORK CENTERED ON REMOTE VIEWING.
SINCE THOSE
ORIGINAL TESTS, THE CIA SUSPENDED
THEIR
ACTIVE ROLE
IN
PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITIES FOR "POLITICAL' REASONS, BUT HAVE
CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A HIGH STATE OF INTEREST IN ALL ON-GOING
WORK BECAUSE OF OBVIOUS DEFENSE APPLICATIONS.
DURING THE SAME
TIME FRAME, THE MILITARY SERVICES AND DIA HAVE, AT ONE TIME OR
ANOTHER, BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS PSYCHOENERGETICS TESTS, MOST
OF THEM APPLICATIONS ORIENTED.

THE US ARMY'S INTEREST IN PSYCHOENERGETICS GOES BACK TO L972,
WHEN THE SURGEON GENERAL THROUGH THE MEDICAL INTELLIGENCE
INFORMATION AGENCY (MIIA), TOGETHER WITH DIA, PUBLISHED STUDIES
OF. SOVIET BLOCK WORK.
IN 1976, THE MISSILE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
(MIA) INFORMALLY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN US REPLICATION OF CLAIMED
SOVIET EXPERIMENTS IN PSYCHOKENESIS.
SRI DEVELOPED A SMALL
PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN AUGUST 1977, MIA AWARDED SRI AN $80K
ONE-YEAR R&D CONTRACT.
DURING THE SAME TIME, ANOTHER DARCOM
AGENCY, THE ARMY MATERIAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AGENCY WAS INVOLVED
IN THE INVESTIGATION OF REMOTE VIEWING CONCEPTS WITH SRI. THESE
EFFORTS CONTINUED THROUGH FY 1980.
IN MARCH L980, WILLIAM J.
PERRY, THEN UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND
ENGINEERING, ORDERED CURTAILMENT OF ALL P6 MONIES SUPPORTING THE
PROGRAM, BUT POSED NO OBJECTION TO CONTINUANCE OF NON-R&D
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS EFFORTS.
THIS ACTION EVENTUALLY
CAUSED DARCOM TO CEASE ALL ACTIVITY.

THE US ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY COMMAND'S
INVOLVEMENT WITH PSYCHOENERGETICS BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 1977.
AT
THAT TIME, AN
N INSCOM ELEMENT IMPLEMENTED THE GONDOLA WISH
PROGRAM WHICH WAS DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE THE SOVIET AND EAST
EUROPEAN PSYCHOENERGETIC INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION THREAT INTO THE
ALL-SOURCE OPERATIONS SECURITY (OPSEC) SUPPORT SCENARIO.

EVIDENCE TO WARRANT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
TO EXPLORE MILITARY
APPLICATIONS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS.

HE
CANCELLED THE GONDOLA WISH EFFORT, PLACED A COMPLETE SECURITY
ENVELOPE
OVER
ARMY 'S
INTEREST
IN
PSYCHOENERGETICS,
AND
IMPLEMENTED
A
NEW
PROGRAM
DIRECTED
TOWARDS
INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION USING REMOTE VIEWING.
THE NEW EFFORT WAS GIVEN THE
UNCLASSIFIED NICKNAME GRILL FLAME.
£
IN OCTOBER 1978, ACSI TASKED
INSCOM TO ESTABLISH
A
PROGRAM USING PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR
BY SPRING
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS UTILIZING REMOTE VIEWING.
1979,
PROJECT PERSONNEL HAD
BEEN
SELECTED
AND
TRAINING
INITIATED.
THE MARCH 1980 PERRY MEMORANDUM WITHDREW THE PROGRAM
6 MONIES SUPPORTING PSYCHOENERGETIC R&D EFFORTS, BUT IT DID NOT
PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS.
IN 1981, THE ACSI TRANSFERRED TOTAL
MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECT TO INSCOM.
ALSO
IN
198L, A JOINT SERVICES GRILL FLAME COMMITTEE, CONSISTING OF DIA,
THE AIR FORCE AND ARMY WAS FORMED.
THE NAVY EXPRESSED NO
INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING IN ANY DISCUSSIONS, AND LATER THE AIR
FORCE CHIEF OF STAFF DIRECTED THAT THE AIR FORCE WITHDRAW FROM
THE COMMITTEE AND ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROGRAMS.
THIS JOINT
SERVICES EFFORT WAS FORMED TO IMPLEMENT A 3-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND
USEFULNESS OF PSYCHOENERGETICS, AND ASSESS THE THREAT THESE
PHENOMENA POSED TO NATIONAL
SECURITY.
WITHIN THIS JOINT
SERVICES PROGRAM, THE ROLES OF DIA AND ARMY WERE DISTINCT.

REMOTE VIEWING
AS
AN
OPERATIONAL
TECHNIQUE
TO
COLLECT
INTELLIGENCE AND TO DETERMINE IF REMOTE VIEWING COULD BE LEARNED
BY PROFESSIONAL INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL WHO WERE NOT "ESTABLISHED
PSYCHICS."
INSCOM PARTICIPATED IN THIS JOINT SERVICES EFFORT
UNTIL THE END OF FY 82 WHEN THE BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE
SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE
(SENATOR WALLOP)
CURTAILED ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED
BY THE ARMY
IN THE
NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
(NF IP ) .
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES AGREED, HOWEVER, TO LET DIA
COMPLETE THE THIRD YEAR OF THEIR EFFORT AND DIRECTED THAT FUTURE
-- IF ANY -- OF THIS PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITY BE
FUNDING
BUDGETED OUTSIDE THE NFIP.
SO IN THE FALL OF 1982, IN KEEPING
WITH THESE CONGRESSIONAL DESIRES AND WISHING TO MAINTAIN THE
MOMENTUM OF EFFORT ALREADY ESTABLISHED, THE CG, INSCOM DECIDED
TO CONTINUE INSCOM'S PROJECT AND PROVIDE FUNDING WITH SECURITY
AND INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES (S&IA) MONIES.
INSCOM TERMINATED
FORMAL INVOLVEMENT WITH GRILL FLAME AT THE END OF FY 82, AND
CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS UNDER A PROVISIONAL SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM
NICKNAMED CENTER LANE.
NEXT I WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OVER VIEW
OF
INSCOM'S
OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
(CHART ON)
DURING 1979, WE CONDUCTED 79 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, 43 OF WHICH
WERE DEDICATED TO ASSISTING THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY DURING
THE

OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE, OUR
OWN SEPARATE FACILITIES, AND
INCREASED MANPOWER, WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE OUR PRODUCTION TO
386 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, L54 OF WHICH WERE STILL DEDICATED TO
IRAN.
PERSONNEL LOSSES SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTED IN A SHARP DECLINE
OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, A SITUATION THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS.
OVERALL, IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE CONDUCTED MORE THAN 700
OPERATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION MISSIONS.
A CONSIDERABLE
PORTION OF
THESE (OVER 200) WERE IN SUPPORT OF
THE
IRAN
SITUATION, WHICH THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF RATED
AS
BEING
QUALITATIVELY EQUAL
TO
THOSE OF OTHER
INTELLIGENCE SOURCES
AVAILABLE TO THEM.
BECAUSE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE NOT HAD A STABLE PERSONNEL SITUATION.
(CHART CHANGE)
IN 1979, CG INSCOM FORMED
A
TASK
FORCE
CONSISTING OF 5
PERSONNEL ;
A
PROJECT
MANAGER,
AN
OPERATIONS/TRAINING OFFICER, A
SECRETARY,
AND
TWO
SOURCES
(RVERS).
IN 1980, TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE
ASSIGNED.
BY 1980, TWO ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL WERE
ASSIGNED.
BY 198L, WE WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITED 2 NEW
PERSONNEL FOR TRAINING IN THE PROJECT, BUT BY THE END OF 198L,
PCS MOVES SEVERELY HAMPERED OUR OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY.
£
HAVING
BEEN DENIED NFIP FUNDING AND, THEREFORE, A TDA UNDER THE GDIP BY
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION, CG,
INSCOM HAS PROVIDED OUT-OF-HIDE
PERSONNEL SPACES IN SUPPORT OF CENTER LANE SINCE THE LOSS OF
THIS FUNDING AT THE END OF FY 82. THE FY 85 GDIP INITIATIVE WAS

POSTPONED IN LATE AUGUST (29 AUG 83), AND NOW-ACSI DOES NOT
ANTICIPATE THE POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF NFIP FUNDING UNTIL FY 86;
THAT MEANS
THEREFORE, CENTER LANE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE WITHIN INSCOM AS
A TASK FORCE WITHOUT A TDA. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE FY
86-90 POM SUBMISSION, AND PLAN TO RECOMMEND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL SUPPORT 20 REMOTE VIEWERS.
OUR
CURRENT FULL-TIME STRENGTH IS AS SHOWN ON THE CHART,
WE HAVE
FOUR ADDITIONAL TRAINEE SOURCES ASSIGNED TO US BY NEXT SPRING
AND PLAN TO HAVE THREE MORE BY THE FOLLOWING WINTER.
(CHART CHANGE)
OUR MISSION STATEMENT REQUIRES US TO TRAIN
PERSONNEL TO PERFORM REMOTE VIEWING,
TRAINING ACTUALLY BEGAN IN
1979, WITH OUR IN-HOUSE EFFORT TO INTRODUCE SELECTED INSCOM
PERSONNEL TO THE REMOTE VIEWING PROCESS.
DURING 1979, WE
INTEGRATED THE SRI CONTRACTED ORIENTATION TRAINING TECHNOLOGY
INTO OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE
IT
IS STILL IN USE
TODAY FOR NEW PERSONNEL.
OUR IN-HOUSE TRAINING DEVELOPED FROM
THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOENERGETIC

THIS ADVANCED TRAINING IS BEING FURTHER REFINED AND
CONTINUES TO BE USED TODAY.
IN MID L982, WE BEGAN A NEW
TRAINING PROGRAM IN COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING WITH SRI.
THIS
NEW COORDINATE REMOTE VIEWING OR CRV TRAINING PROCESS SUBDIVIDES
THE DETECTION AND DECODING OF PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS INTO DISCRETE,
ACHIEVABLE SKILL LEVELS.
THIS PROCESS HOLDS GREAT PROMISE FOR
REFINING RV AND GIVES US A METHOD BY WHICH WE CAN BRING NEW
SOURCE PERSONNEL UP TO AN OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE LEVEL WITH
MINIMAL DRAIN ON OUR LIMITED IN-HOUSE RESOURCES.

INTELLIGENCE
COLLECTION
PROJECTS,

SPONSORS, AND OUR
SUCCESS RATIOS.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ONE COLLECTION
PROJECT MAY REQUIRE ONE OR MANY OPERATIONAL MISSIONS TO SATISFY
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION (EEI).
THE IRAN PROJECT, FOR
EXAMPLE, REQUIRED OVER 200 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS.
IN 1979, WE CONDUCTED 7 COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR 4 SEPARATE
SPONSOR AGENCIES.
IN 1980, WE CONDUCTED 4L PROJECTS FOR 6
SPONSOR AGENCIES.
IN 198L, AS MANPOWER CONSTRAINTS BEGAN TO
LIMIT OUR CAPABILITY, WE CONDUCTED ONLY 20 PROJECTS FOR 5
SPONSORS.
IN L982, OUR PRODUCTION FELL
AGAIN TO JUST 11
PROJECTS AS WE ONLY HAD ONE OPERATIONAL SOURCE ASSIGNED.
IN
1983, WE RECEIVED 14 PROJECTS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT "CUSTOMERS"
(USAINSCOM, CIA, NSA, ACSI, ISA, FBI/SS.
IN SUMMARY, OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS INSCOM HAS CONDUCTED 89
COLLECTION PROJECTS FOR A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT US GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES.
OUR SUCCESSES MUST BE EXAMINED FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES.

PROGRAM 6 FUNDS AND THE ACSI MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO USE THESE
FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE INSCOM CENTER LANE PROJECT.
THESE P6 FUNDS
ENABLED US TO EXPAND OUR EFFORTS INTO AREAS WHICH HAVE BEEN

BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A CONVENTIONAL REMOTE VIEWING
TASK WE HAVE HAD LITTLE SUCCESS AT PROVIDING TIMELY USABLE
INTELLIGENCE IN THESE CASES, THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT INFORMATION
WE PROVIDED WAS INACCURATE, JUST THAT IT WAS NOT DIRECTLY USABLE
TO RESOLVE THE INTELLIGENCE PROBLEM AT HAND.
IF IN FACT A NEW

THIS NEW MISSION STATEMENT EXPANDS OUR EFFORT A GREAT DEAL.
WE
ARE NO LONGER CONFINED TO REMOTE VIEWING AS OUR PRINCIPAL TOOL
AND
WILL NOW DEVELOP
AND USE TELEPATHIC AND PSYCHOKENETIC
SKILLS.
AN IMPORTANT APPLICATION OF OUR NEW MISSION STATEMENT
WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTERMEASURE CAPABILITIES.
THE INVESTIGATION OF PSYCHOENERGETIC COUNTERMEASURES HAS LAGGED
BEHIND OTHER
EFFORTS FOR ONE MAIN REASON.
DEVELOPMENT OF
EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURES REQUIRES A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE
UNDERLYING MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN PSYCHOENERGETIC PROCESSES.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INTO THESE AREAS HAS NEVER BEEN ADEQUATELY
SUPPORTED
BY
FUNDING BASE.
NOW THAT P6
RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT MONEY HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED,
WE
ANTICIPATE THAT
A
MULTI-YEAR, ADEQUATELY FUNDED
BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM CAN
BE
DEVELOPED
TO
INVESTIGATE
THE
ACTUAL
MECHANISM
BEHIND
PSYCHOENERGETIC FUNCTIONING.
IN ADDITION TO QUR EFFORTS, DIA
RECENTLY OBTAINED P6 MONEY TO CONTINUE THEIR R&D EFFORTS,
AND
THEY HAVE BEGUN NEGOTIATIONS TO AWARD CONTRACTS TO SRI.
THE
LOGICAL FALLOUT
FROM SUCH A
RESEARCH EFFORT WOULD BE
THE
DEVELOPMENT OF:
MEACONING,
INTRUSION, JAMMING
AND
DECEPTION
TECHNIQUES.
UNTIL SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN BE DEVELOPED, CONVENTIONAL COVER,
CONCEALMENT, AND DECEPTION MEASURES CAN BE EMPLOYED TO CONFUSE
HOSTILE PSYCHOENERGETIC COLLECTORS AND TO MISLEAD INTELLIGENCE
