SUBJECT:
GRILL FLAME Activity
(U)
Reference:
USDRE Memo of
5 Mar 80 on the subject.
(S/NF)
The reference limited OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME research
activities, but interposed no objection to low-level
support to
Intelligence-related efforts.
(S/NF)
Since 1980, jointly sponsored research t>y DIA end Army INSCOM
has shown GRILL FLAME to have potential for military applications.
In
the classified annex to the FY 1983 Authorization Conference Report
however, the Intelligence Committee conferees agreed that If research
were to continue.
It should be outside the Na^enjJ
iSo?
!!
96^6
Program.
Although DIA should have sufficient funding
In FY 1983 to
complete
Its GRILL FLAME evaluation,
the conferees did not provide
resources for Army Intelligence participation
In the project.
(S/NF)
A scientific review of GRILL FLAME evidence accumulated
In the
course of
a three-year National Foreign Intelligence Program study
Is to
be completed by early April
1983.
In the Interim, Program 6 resources
may be used to maintain the current Army INSCOM capability and
supplement as necessary the FY 83 DIA evaluation effort.
I would
itM
be Informed
in advance of the proposed Program 6 *^"9
Future
Identified to support these Intelligence research activities.
Future
OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME or related activities will depend
In
part on the results of the DIA evaluation and any other such review as
I
deem appropriate.

Tne Committee of Conference on the Fiscal Year 1983 Intelligence
Authorization Bill has agreed to reconcile the positions of the House and
Senate conternlng GRILL FLAME by funding the program at
a level of

This amount will permit the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)

Institute (SRI) and to evaluate the results of this multi-year effort.
As you are aware, the House Remanent Select Committee on Intelligence

parapsychologlcal applications.
The Committee requests, therefore, that a
comprehensive report be prepared documenting the results of the SRI
contract and that
it be submitted to this Committee not later than October
IS,

The report should discuss the methodology and findings of the
research effort to include all relevant statistical analyses on remote

parapsychologlcal phenomena.
With every good wish,
I am
