(S8/CL-1/NOFORN) GENERAL: ‘The procedures set forth herein detail the activities of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) Special Access Program (SAP) CENTER LANE in psychoenergetics. These procedures are in effect for the period required to train and apply psychoenergetics. They are effective and do not involve any practices which expose participants to harmful circumstances or substances such as drugs. : 2. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) DEFINITIONS: a. (U) Psychoenergetics: A mental process by which an individual perceives, ommunicates with, and/or perturbs characteristics of a designated target, person, or event remote in space and/or time from that individual. It does not involve any electronic devices located or focused at the target, nor does it involve classical photo interpretation of photographs obtained from overhead or oblique means. b. (U) Psychoenergeti communicates with, and/or perturbs characteristics of a designated target, person, or event, Source: & person who perceives, ec. (U) Psychoenergetic Trainee: A’ person being trained to be a psychoenergetic source. d. (U) Psychoenergetic Session: A single attempt by a psychoenergetic source and an interviewer/monitor to perceive, communicate with, and/or perturb characteristics of a designated target, person, or event. e. (U) Interviewer/Monitor: The individual who interacts directly with the psychoenergetic source before, during, and after the session.

A term coined by $RI-International (SRI-L) and defined as “the acquisition and description, by mental means, of information blocked from ordinary perception by distance, shielding, or time." g (CRV): A Remote Viewing coordinates as targeting Be Co technique that information. he (U) Targeting Information: An abstract referent which represents the target of interest. i. (U) Target/Site: A specific area, person or event at a specific time. : j. (U) Discrete State A type of psychoenergetic activity in which the source perceives his consciousness to be located at the target. 3. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) MILITARY OBJECTIVE: It is the objective of these procedures to maintain thé quality of psychoenergetic teaining and applications so that CENTER LANE will continue to support the broad spectrum of intelligence and counterintelligence requirements in collection, barget acquisition, and deception, 4ay (8/CL-3/NOFORN) MILTUTARY APPLICATIONS: CENTER LANE applications of psychoenergetics include but are not limited to: (1) targeting of key enemy military personnel from covert agents to key battle commanders, (2) monitoring hostile military movements, lines of communication, and specific technologies, (3) detecting changes in the state of military units, (4) detecting and assessing hostile intelligence efforts targeted against friendly units/missigns, and (5) detecting and assessing hostile technological capabilities in specific locations. Since US Army personnel, units, materiel, and operations are subject to a similar hostile intelligence service threat, CENTER LANE can assist in devising countermeasures to eliminate or reduce vulnerabilities. 5. (8/CL-2/NOFORN) APPROVAL HISTORY: a. (S/CL-~2/NOFORN) Concept Approval: The Commander, US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) approved in principle the US Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) involvement in the project GRILL FLAME; which began in April 1978 (GILL FLAME was the predecessor to the CENTER LANE Project). In May 1978, the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL FLAME applications. Effective 14 January 1981, by approval of Approved For Release 2004/07/09: C1AeRIR9G- '-00788R001500090010-7 --- PAGE 5 (OCR) --- ow she thin, Approved For Release 200 TCIA-I }6-00788R001500090010-7 the Under Secretary of the Army, INSCOM became the only active operational GRILL FLAME element in the Army. Program management for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander, INSCOM effective 11 February 1981. OACSL, DAMI-ISH remained the Army focal point for policy matters and interface at the national Level, Overall DoD responsibility resided with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Also in 1981, a joint services GRILL FLAME Committee consisting of DIA, the US Air Force and US Army was formed. Later the Air Force Chief of Staff directed that the Air Force withdraw from the committee and all psychoenergetic programs, A comprehensive program was designed to determine the operational parameters and usefulness of psychoenergetics and assess the threat these phenomena posed to national security. At that time DIA was R&D oriented and INSCOM's GRILL FLAME Project was applications oriented, In the-.FY83 DoD budget review the Budget Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence curtailed all psychoenergetic actiyities funded by the Army in the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), but directed that DIA could complete the third year of their effort and that all future Army funding be budgeted outside the NFIP, INSCOM terminated formal involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY 82; in the fall of 1982, in keeping with congressional desires, the Commanding General INSCOM provided funding from Security and Investigative Activities (S&IA) monies, and continued its efforts under a provisional compartmented SAP nicknamed CENTER LANE. On 1 September 1983, the Secretary of the Army approved continued Army participation in CENTER LANE activities within INSCOM and with appropriate contractors in a cooperative effort with DIA. . b. (S/CL~2/NOFORN) Human Use Approval: GRILL FLAME was designated a “Human Use" program as the result of an Army General Counsel decision in February 1979, which determined that the Project involved “Experimentation on Human Subjects,” and that relevant Human Use protocols did indeed apply to Project procedures and technologies. Conduct of the Project under Human Use regulations was first approved in April 1980 by the Under Secretary of the Army. Appendix A contains an historical summary of the Human Use tissue, as well as a list of the pertinent regulations, which govern CENTER LANE activities. 6. (S/CL-~3/NOFORN) SELECTION OF. PERSONNEL: a. (S/CL~3/NOVORN) Current Selection Criteria: After over a year of participation within the psychoenergetic project, source personnel were tested by the INSCOM Staff Psychologist in an attempt to determine a suitable profile by which further participants could be identified, The specific tests administered were (see Appendix B for test descriptions): (1) The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).

(3) Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B). (4) California Psychological Inventory (CPI). (5) Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS). (6) Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). For the most part, the group presented itself as. emotionally stable with no marked trends. There did appear to he an interesting similarity in defensive style, a tending toward artistic, aesthetic, and cultural interests, and an introversive style of emotional expression. From these test results the INSCOM Staff Psychologist constructed a test that may be used as an initial screening tool in the selection of new psychoenergetic participants, This new test is called the INSCOM Factor Questionnaire. This instrument is used to compare individuals with CENTER LANE sources A high score suggests that individuals have similar characteristics to operational personnel and may be potential candidates for the project, A score of 20 or higher is considered to be similar to CENTER LANE personnel, Individuals who score within the parameters specified by the INSCOM psychologist would then receive personal interviews with CENTER LANE Project personnel. From these interviews new project participants would be selected and trained. . b. (8/CL-3/NOFORN) Projected Selection Criteria: SRI-1 has been contracted to investigate and report on a particular aspect of psychoenergetics relating to operational management of personnel; that is, to determine if a personality testing technique can be created which, when applied to a general population, will delineate specific individuals who exhibit a higher degree of talent for psychoenergetic abilities, c. (8/CL-2/NOFORN) Voluntary Consen As vequired under the regulations governing “Human Use" (see para 2,, Appendix A), all personnel operate on a strictly voluntary basis, and may withdraw at any time without any form of prejudicial action or consideration directed against them. Further, participants are informed of any known or potential risks that might be inherent in program participation. This is accomplished through the use of a verbal briefing from a knowledgeable CENTER LANE official, and the execution of a personalized Statement of Consent form outlining all pertinent information and considerations, The voluntary consent requirement pertains to individuals assigned to the CENTER LANE Project and contractors/consultants, A sample of the voluntary consent form is attached as Inclosure 5, Appendix A.
