Ij /.
1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Continual discussions with DIA management
now indicate that the transfer of ICLP activities to DIA is not
likely to take place by 31 December 1984. DIA has agreed to
accept total responsibility for the nsychoenergetic applications
and research program. However, current Congressional
prohibitions against the use of NFIP resources in such a program
and the critical absence of non-NFIP resources at DIA have not
allowed DIA resource managers to identify personnel spaces in
which to transfer the nine personnel currently assigned to
ICLP. These managers, therefore, have taken the position that a
detailing action is necessary if the transfer of ICLP functions
is to take place. A detailing action would permit DIA to manage
and operate the program without using NFIP resources since ICLP
personnel are in non-NFIP spaces. Use of non-NFIP resources is
an interim measure that will be resolved when Congress approves
the DIA FY 86-90 GRIP initiative for a CENTER LANE follow-on.
DIA has already submitted the initiative, but Congress will not
review and rule on it until at least summer 1985. When Congress
approves the initiative, the GDIP supported psychoenergetic
program can be implemented during the first quarter FY 86.
2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) For the above reasons on 3 December 1984,
Dr. Jack Vorona, Assistant Deputy Director for Scientific and
Technical Intelligence, DIA, directed the preparation of a
decision paper for the Director, DIA that would support a DIA
position to recommend detailing of ICLP personnel rather than a

PCS transfer. The paper would also suggest that LTG Williams
contact MG Soyster to discuss the issue. The decision paper is
scheduled to be submitted to LTG Williams on 7 December 1984.
3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) My assessment of the situation concludes
that a detailing action is in the best interests of the program,
INSCOM, and personnel currently assigned to ICLP. Detailing
wou1.d permit an early resumption of collection activities, the
continuation of training, and the assumption of responsibility
by D IA for manaemen.t of the PoD psychoenergetic program.
Should Congress react negatively to the GDIP initiative, the
personnel involved in the detailing process, together with their
varied skills and considerable experience, would not be lost to
1"SC101 and could be reassigned to contribute positively in other
areas of the command.
4. (S/CL-3/NOFOR N) The one drawback for INSCOM is the problem
of "tying up" spaces occupied by the nine personnel currently
assigned to ICLP. Recent actions, however, may ameliorate this
situation. First of these is the scheduled 1 January 1985
ant;lorization of three personnel on the Security Systems
Planning Division (SSPD), MI Battalion (Security), 902d MI Group
(the CENTER LANE cover organization) nine person TDA
organization. This will allow three of the current
"out-of-hide" personnel to be slotted against valid positions.
Second, one of the individuals involved is scheduled to PCS in
July 1985, after completion of a four year tour with CENTER
LANE. The personnel management system allows requisitioning and
manning against the position he now occupies as much as six
months in advance, that is in January 1985. Third, one of the
enlisted personnel currently assigned is due to, and probably
will, ETS in July 1985. While these personnel will eventually
be replaced, once the activity is transferred to DIA, no
replacements for these two individuals have been identified and
there are no plans to fill these projected vacancies with INSCOM
assets. Fourth, one individual assigned to SSPD falls under the
atisoices of the GREAT SKILLS program. He will be maintained on
ASD's roster, and therefore always be an INSCOM asset. Finally,
the two civilian empl.oy~es~'eRPP96-00788 R001500090019-8
