 operational control of DIA or the Intelligence Community psychoenergetic
 capability will cease to exist.   The transfer of ICLP to DIA OPCON must
 be done in such a way as to maintain continuity and momentum of effort,
 as well as state-of-the-art expertise.
 4.   (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)   SCOPE.   The transfer of operational control of
 ICLP to DIA affects DA (ACSI),  INSCOM,  and DIA.
 5.   (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)   AGREEMENTS,  SUPPORT,  AND RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS.
 ICLP has been an active intelligence collection unit since 1978,  and it
 is therefore  intended that it will continue as  an operational element
 under the operational control of the appropriate organizational element
 of DIA.   Defense  Intelligence Agency accepts the entire responsibility
 for  mission-related   training,   mode  of   employment,   applicable
 requirements of the "human use" issue,  and the operation and security of
 the  former  ICLP and  its         assets  for  the OPCON period. The period of
 operational control will be no longer  than one calendar year from the
 implementation date of this MOA.   If, by the end of this period, DIA is
 successful   in obtaining requisite positions and                    funding allocated  for
 continued  psychoenergetic           activity, INSCOM agrees  to  assign  affected
 personnel  and  other  project            resources to  DIA  as     will  be deemed
 appropriate and mutually agreed upon.   This  assignment will be by                       a
 separate MOA.   If  the            aforementioned  funding               and resources are not
 approved  in  the  FY  86          General  Defense Intelligence Program             (GDIP)
 submission,  ICLP will revert to USAINSCOM to be reassigned or utilized
 at the discretion of the CG,                INSCOM.
 a.    (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)            Personnel. All ICLP   Personnel  will           be
 encouraged  to  continue           with         the  project as it  devolves  under     DIA
 control.   Direct  participation  in                 psychoenergetic activities  by  CENTER
 LANE personnel is strictly voluntary and falls under the guidelines of
 DoD Directive 5240.1-R, AR 381-10, and Code of Federal Regulation,  Title
 45,  Part  46.  The  ICLP          manager           will ensure that   ICLP  operational
 personnel understand  that  they will be  performing operational                     remote
 viewing  in  support of            the  DIA          psychoenergetic program  under     the
 guidelines of established procedures outlined in reference 2e.
 b. (S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)         Documents. All documents maintained by ICLP
 will remain under  INSCOM control until such a time as need dictates a
 separate  agreement  be  concluded                   transferring  pertinent  documents  to
 DIA.   Upon the event of such a contingency,  INSCOM will in any case be
 permitted to retain access to command and control and historical                       ICLP
 documents.   Documents generated after  transfer of OPCON to DIA are the
 property  and  responsibility of DIA,  but may be administered  by                      the
 project manager of the INSCOM element at DIA direction.
