His advocacy also had limits: the program's credibility within mainstream Army intelligence was not enhanced by its association with a commander known for attempting to walk through walls. Officers who might otherwise have engaged with the remote viewing program's results distanced themselves from it to avoid association with what they considered an embarrassingly unconventional command climate.
The sources differ on how and when his INSCOM command ended. [[Jim Schnabel]] wrote in [[The Independent]] of August 27, 1995 that Stubblebine "retired from the Army in 1984," and that "the fatal blow to his career came in 1983," when an INSCOM staff officer visited the [[Monroe Institute]]; Schnabel attributed that account to unnamed former colleagues and to [[Ed Dames]].[^1] A [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] addendum to a memorandum for the record dated December 10, 1985 lists "Stubblebine, Albert MG (Ret.)" as commanding general of INSCOM from May 1981 to June 1984.[^2] The [[Gasconade County Republican]] of [[Owensville, Missouri]] reported on May 16, 1984, in a local item on a retirement ceremony whose honoree appears to be a person named Huff, that "Major Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III, Commanding General, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, Arlington Hall Station, Va." presided and spoke; the ceremony date is not given in the portion read.[^3] The project manager's records place the decision of his successor, [[Harry Soyster]], to discontinue Center Lane on July 13, 1984 (see below).[^4] The departure has also been described as a relief from command in 1984 followed by retirement from the Army; no source for that wording is identified. After his departure, the program continued but lost some of its most senior Army champion. The DIA subsequently took over primary program management.
