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, wheeh—eonthnyes | 5 Aah is composed of practical exercises, lectures, eeratur Eas. And observation of others. By the end of 1980. We Began an advanced training program using the hemispheric Synchronization process developed by Robert A. Monroe and used At The Monroe Institute of applied science, faber, virginia. Givyeee This advanced training enables source personnel (rvers) to vette Achieve states conducive to psychoenergetic awareness.

In mid 1982, we began a new training program in Coordinate remote viewing (crv) with sri. This new 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. We continue to look for additional Contractors to assist US in maintaining state-of-the~art Technical expertise. D. With regard to funding: (Graph change) in 1979, the total cost to INSCOM gexeruding Shearhes) was $87k, $75k of which went to sri for orientation wos) TRAINING. IN 1980, INSCOM'S COSTS FOR THE PROJECT WERE one's rom $42K and there were no external contracts. In 1981. Funding Levels were increased to permit INSCOM to ie een the Joint services program with DIA, of the $201k expended in 1981. $190K went to external contracts with sri in support of the Joint services program and our own requirements. 1982 Was the Second and last year of INSCOM's support to the joint services Program due ss onere lone guidance from senator wallop's ee OF THE TOTAL $245K cosTS FOR 1982, $125K WAS Expenbed in support of this joint services effort and $99k for Word processing equipment.

I will summerize the last five Years of INSCOM's effort in psychoenergetics by stating that we Have conducted 700 operational intelligence collection missions In support of 89 collection projects, and managed four source Training programs -- all with a limited number of personnel and At a cost to date of only $703k, those intelligence collection Missions have resulted in 3 “intelligence community firsts.” SG1A Approved For Release 2003/09/1 64 (FIA-RDP96-00788R001 700270022-2 --- PAGE 11 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 PART 2 The next part of my briefing will cover intelligence collection Projects, their sponsors, and our success ratios. LT 1s 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. A, collection projects (overview): (graph on) in 1979. We Conducted 7 collection projects for four 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 for five sponsors. In 1982, Our production fell again to just 11 projects as we only Had one st ae source assigned. So far in 1983, we have 10 Projects, some of which remain active. In summary, over the past 5 years INSCOM has conducted 89 Collection projects for a number of different US government Agencies. Our success at achieving the goals outlined in our Mission statement must be examined from two perspectives. (Graph change) first gf-all, of the 700 operational missions- Over 85% have produced information relevant to the target site. But not all of this information was of intelligence value. In Assessing RV as an intelligence tool, approximately 50% of the 700 Missions produced information of true intelligence value.

Recently, the prohibition against utilizing program 6 funds was Suspended by the current undersecretary of defense for research And engineering and the acsi] has made arrangements to use these Funds to support the INSCOM CENTER LANE project. This will Enable US to expand our efforts into areas which have been Neglected over the years due to lack of a sufficient funding Base. We plan the following expenditures for fy 1984: (chart on) Purchase of biomonitoring equipment to be used to Determine physiological changes during the conduct of Psychoenergetic tasks: $26.5k. 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: $120k For sri and sri subcontracts, Approved For Release 2003/09/1 6'4cia-RDP96-00788R001 700270022-2 --- PAGE 13 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Determine the countermeasures potential of extremely low Frequency (elf) electromagnetic radiation. 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: $65K FOR SRI AND 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. Beacuse 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: $175k for sri. Continuation of coordinate remote viewing training at Enhanced levels for one source: $40k for sri and sri consultant. Approved For Release 2003/09/14 3CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 --- PAGE 14 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Initiation of crv training for three new source Personnel: $70k for sri and sri consultant. Because this p6 funding base has so recently become available to US, final budget plans for fys 85-89 are still 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. Expand operational capabilities and training beyond the Confines of information collection into the fields of Psychoenergetic communication and psychokenesis. 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 psychokinetic Skills. Our final fy 85-89 budget plans will be designed to Meet the demands of our new mission statement.

Future personnel: Having been denied nfip funding and, therefore, a tda 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, no budget submission was made To obtain s&ja funded personnel spaces because acsi expected to Get nfip approval in their fy 85 gdip submission. The fy 85 Gdip initiative was postponed late last month (29 aug 83). Now Acsi does not anticipate the possible approval of nfip funding Until fy86. CENTER LANE continues to operate within INSCOM as a Task force with out tda. We hope to have three additional Trainee sources assigned to US by next spring and possibly two More by the following winter. (Logo) C. Countermeasures: 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 a 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. It is our understanding That DIA 1s working on a ten year, eleven million dollar Approved For Release 2003/09/1 6; ,CIA-RDP96-00788R001 700270022-2 --- PAGE 16 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Proposal at this time. The logical fallout from such a research Effort would be the development of: (chart on) Psychoenergetic meaconing techniques Psychoenergetic intrusion techniques Psychoenergetic jamming techniques Psychoenergetic 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. There 1s no known reliable means at this time to Detect or prevent the “intrusion” of psychoenergetic collectors. D. Future training: (chart change) Current training programs will continue. We are investigating a New 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 advanced training will include the use of a sensory isolation Tank to help reduce environmental “noise” during operations and Approved For Release 2003/09/1 6; CIA-RDP96-00788R001 700270022-2 --- PAGE 17 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2003/09/16 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270022-2 Training. We are also developing a training vehicle to enable Operational sources to collectively focus psychoenergetic Abilities on selected targets. Development of this collectively Focused psychoenergetics (cfp) capability is critical to fulfill
