BG Scanlon Briefing For INSCOM Project CENTER LANE

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. This next chart shows our costs, oo personnel salaries, gince The project's inception sons aha sir. I remind you that fy's Sl and 32 saw our participation in the joint program and, Therefore. An increase in our expenditures. During the last Five years of INSCOM's effort in psychoenergetics, we have Conducted over 700 operational intelligence collection missions In support of 92 collection projects, and managed 4 source Training programs -- all with a limited number of personnel and AT A COST TO DATE OF ONLY $703K, T Witt seaatde ths Yome’s oxreupireees, are 1 cre DRI eF M4 Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700330001-8 8 --- PAGE 9 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700330001-8 (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 4l projects for 6 Sponsor agencies. In 498l, as manpower constraints began to Limit our capability, we conducted only 20 projects for 5 Sponsors. In l982. Our production fell again to just ua Projects as we only had one operational source assigned. In 1983, We received 1.4 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. (Chart change) over 85% of our operational missions have Produced accurate target information. Even more significant, Approximately 50% of the 700 missions produced usable Intelligence.

Sir. I now will address our future. Last rs, the current under secretary of defense for research And engineering suspended the prohibition against utilizing Program 6 funds and the acsi made arrangements to use these Funds to support the INSCOM CENTER LANE provect. These p6 funds Enabled US to expand our efforts into areas which have been Neglected over the years due to lack of a sufficient funding Base. We have contracted for the following expenditures in fy 84: (CHART ON). Purchase of biomonitoring equipment to be used to Determine physiological changes during the conduct of Psychoenergetic tasks. Development of a state-of-the-art psychological Screening/selection profile for use in identifying potential Sources. Such a profile would identify personnel who may have Some psychoenergetic talent or who could be trained. We plan to Use this study to assist US in recruiting new sources. Funds Noted are for both sri and sri subcontracts.

This effort will Examine the possibility that certain as yet unidentified elf Radiations have a detrimental effect on mental states critical To psychoenergetic performance. This study may also provide Information on elf environments conducive to optimum Psychoenergetic performance. The logical follow-on to this Effort would be the development of local counter-countermeasures Environments for CENTER LANE sources: funds noted are for sri And a sri subcontract, Development of a new psychoenergetic technique for use In “search problems.” over the years sponsor agencies have Asked US to assist in locating lost or missing equipment or Personnel. 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 Psychoenergetic “search problem” technique is developed, we Would anticipate training source personnel in this technique Because "search problems” continue to be priority tasks received By this office: funds noted are for sri, Approved For Release 2003/09/09: CIA-RDP96-00788R001700330001-8 --- PAGE 12 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700330001-8 Continuation of coordinate remote viewing training at Enhanced levels for one source: funds noted are for sri and a Sri subcontract. FouR Initiation of crv training for fhree new source Personnel: funds noted are for sri and a sri subcontract. Momo LCF This p6 money will be supplemented by $235k INSCOM s&ia funds Which will be used for travel and support functions. Because—this-p6—-funbing-base--has~ so: regently.-become. Available .to.__.. Ust -fenae budget plans for fys 85-89 are see being Formulated. Having the most impact on our plans is the fact That the cg INSCOM has just provided US with a new CENTER LANE Mission statement: (change 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 psychokenesis.

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 HER EFFORTS FOR ONE MAIN REASON. DeveLopnetr OF Effective countermeasures requires a basic understanding of the Underlying mecharm§ms involved in psychoenergetic processes. Scientific ee these areas ha “enn been adequately SUPPORTED BY A FUNDING “ase. Now a P6 RESEARCH AND Development money has been authqmized, we anticipate that a Multi-year, adequately fund. Research program can be Developed to investiga the actual “mechanism behind Psychoenergetic functtoning. In addition to™qur efforts, DIA Recently obtained“p6 money to continue their r&d “erforts, and They have begun negotiations to award contracts to sr hv the Logical pallout 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 ANALYSTS «~~ Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700330001-8 L3 --- PAGE 14 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700330001-8 Finally. Current training programs will continue, we~are Ce remote viewing training method” which would Teach sources to access. Target sites by abstract cuing without Dependence on coordinates. We are expanding our advanced Training program to meet the demands of our new mission Statement. This expansion of -abvanced training will include the Use of a sensory isolation tank to help reduce environmental "Noise" during oper poh and training. We are also developing A training vehicle to enable operational sources to collectively Focus psy hoenergetic abilities on selected targets. Development of this collectively focused psychoenergetics (cfp) Capability is critical to fulfill mission statement requirements, Sir.
