A detailed review of this "human use" question is at TAB E, g. (S/NOFORN) The future of the Army program has been complicated by the elimination of Army FY 82 GRILL FLAME O&M funds during the Congressional HAC ~— SAC conferees' hearing. However, it appears that the Army request for five permanent GRILL FLAME personnel positions for FY 82 remained in the pro- gram. DIA's GRILL FLAME effort for FY 82 was fully funded for $330K, Army GRILL FLAME activities are contained in our FY 83 program submission and this will allow us to fully air the issue with Congress. In the interim, INSCOM plans to keep the effort alive by internal reprogramming until a final decision on future funding can be reached. h.
