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_
PRIOR TO SUBMITTING OUR TRAINING AND APPLICATIONS
PROCEDURES FOR YOUR REVIEW AND ACTION. I WILL DISCUSS THE HISTORY
OF THE PROGRAM, TRAINING, OPERATIONS, AND OUR PLANS FOR THE
FUTURE.

THE OVERALL CLASSIFICATION OF THE BRIEFING IS SECRET,
CENTER LANE LEVEL 4.
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.

(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 PSYCHOKINESIS, REMOTE VIEWING, AND
REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS.

OUR
MISSION IS A S DEPICTED ON THIS CHART:
CONDUCT
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
OPERATIONS UTILIZING ALL PSYCHOENERGETIC PROCESSES APPLICABLE.
TRAIN SELECTED PERSONNEL IN STATE-OF-THE-ART PSYCHOENERGETIC
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION AND COUNTERINTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES.
EXPAND OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND
TRAINING BEYOND THE
CONFINES
OF
INFORMATION COLLECTION
INTO
THE
FIELDS
OF
PSYCHOENERGETIC COMMUNICATION AND PSYCHOKINESIS.
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE CENTER LANE ACTIVITIES, IT
IS NECESSARY TO DISCUSS OUR HISTORY.
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,

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 1972,
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 PSYCHOKINESIS.
SRI DEVELOPED A
SMALL
PROGRAM FOR THEM AND IN AUGUST 1977, MIA AWARDED SRI AN $80K

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 1980, 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

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
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.
BY SPRING OF 1978, THE ARMY ACSI CONCLUDED THERE WAS SUFFICIENT
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,

INSCOM TO ESTABLISH
A
PROGRAM USING PSYCHOENERGETICS FOR
INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS UTILIZING REMOTE VIEWING.
BY SPRING
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
1981, 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
WAS R&D ORIENTED AND INSCOM'S GRILL FLAME PROJECT WAS TO USE
REMOTE VIEWING
AS
OPERATIONAL
SERVICES PROGRAM, THE ROLES OF DIA AND ARMY WERE DISTINCT.
DIA

TECHNIQUE
TO
COLLECT
INTELLIGENCE AND TO DETERMINE IF REMOTE VIEWING COULD BE LEARNED

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONFEREES AGREED, HOWEVER, TO LET DIA
COMPLETE THE THIRD YEAR OF THEIR EFFORT AND DIRECTED THAT FUTURE
FUNDING -- IF ANY -- OF THIS PSYCHOENERGETIC ACTIVITY
BE
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.
THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT'S HISTORY, THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT
PSYCHOENERGETICS CONSTITUTES HUMAN USE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE.

MIGHT BE
CLASSIFIED AS RESEARCH, AND AS SUCH, PLANS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
TO ESTABLISH CREDIBLE HUMAN USE REVIEW PROCEDURES TO OVERSEE
GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES,
FOIAB5
IN NOVEMBER 1979, AFTER REVIEW
OF REVISED
PROTOCOLS, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT GRILL FLAME ACTIVITIES
DID
CONSTITUTE HUMAN USE.

DURING THE
IRANIAN HOSTAGE CRISIS.
DURING
1980,
AFTER
WE
ACQUIRED
OPERATIONAL
EXPERIENCE,
OUR
OWN
SEPARATE FACILITIES,
AND
INCREASED MANPOWER, WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE OUR PRODUCTION TO
386 OPERATIONAL MISSIONS, 154 OF WHICH WERE STILL DEDICATED TO
IRAN. PERSONNEL LOSSES SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTED IN A SHARP DECLINE
OF OPERATIONAL MISSIONS.
OVERALL, IN
THE PAST FIVE YEARS WE
HAVE CONDUCTED OVER
750 OPERATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
MISSION.
BECAUSE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROJECT, WE HAVE NOT HAD A STABLE PERSONNEL SITUATION.

ASSIGNED.
BY 1981, WE WERE READY TO EXPAND AND RECRUITED 2 NEW
PERSONNEL FOR TRAINING IN THE PROJECT.
BUT BY THE END OF 1981,
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 FY82.
OUR PERSONNEL STRENGTH AT THE
END OF FY 84 WILL BE 9 OPERATIONAL PERSONNEL AND TWO SUPPORT
PERSONNEL .
THAT MEANS CENTER LANE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE

(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
TECHNOLOGY
DRAWN
FROM
ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS,
SCIENTIFIC

LABORATORIES, AND RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENTS AROUND THE WORLD.
WE
TOOK AN ECLECTIC APPROACH;
USING
THOSE METHODS WHICH HAD
APPLICATIONS
POTENTIAL
TO
OUR
OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS.
IN-HOUSE TRAINING IS COMPOSED OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES, LECTURES,
LITERATURE REVIEW, AND OBSERVATION OF OTHERS.

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.
WE CONTINUE TO
LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL CONTRACTORS TO ASSIST US
IN MAINTAINING
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNICAL EXPERTISE.
(CHART CHANGE) THE NEXT
PART OF MY
BRIEFING WILL COVER
INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION
PROJECTS,
THEIR
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 41 PROJECTS FOR 6
SPONSOR AGENCIES.
IN 1981, AS MANPOWER CONSTRAINTS BEGAN
TO
LIMIT OUR
CAPABILITY,
WE CONDUCTED ONLY 20
PROJECTS
5
FOR
SPONSORS.
IN 1982, 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).
TO DATE IN 1984 WE
HAVE RECEIVED 7 PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF 5 CUSTOMERS.
