Dear
Dr.
Davis:
I
enjoyed the meeting
I
had with you
and
Dr.
LaBerge
on November
28,
1979.
I 'especially appreciated the questions
and
comments.
Some
of the
questions prompted me
to obtain more accurate answers
than
I
was
able
to
give at the time.
The questions
pertaining
to the
size
and scope
of
a
program and the Laboratory management's
probable attitude toward
such
a
program are discussed
below.
I
have
had discussions with LLL's acoustic emission,
metallurgy and
ceramics
personnel
in order to estimate
the amount and type of effort
needed to extend and improve the preliminary work which
I
presented
at
the
briefing.
At this
time,
my original
estimate was approximately
correct.
It appears
that the equivalent of 5-7
full
employees would
be
the optimum.
The tasks would
be distributed among
10-15 researchers,
technicians
and other consultants
and advisors.
This
level
of effort
would enable
a one-year program to obtain reliable data
or nearly exhaust
the possibility of obtaining
such
data.
In
order to assess
the Laboratory management's
receptivity
to
such
a
project,
I
had discussions with Henry McDonald, Associate Director for
Engineering,
and
Dale Nielsen, Associate Director for Administration.
Both associate directors
indicated that such types
of multidisciplinary
and discrete research are within the capability of LLL.

(FOUO) On 4 May 1982, from 1000-1200 Ms. Annette Smiley, Staff Member House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) was briefed on GRILL FLAME at Building T-2561, Fort Meade. Briefing was arranged by LTC Carl Jordan, OACSI. Attending the briefing were: COL B. L. LANE OACSI LTC CARL JORDAN OACSI MR, CRAIG MILLER OACSI DIA (GDIP STAFF) COL BIL INSCOM (ADCSOPS-HUMINT ) LTC ROBERT JACHIM INSCOM GRILL FLAME PROJECT MANAGER 2. (FOUO) Material presented was as follows: a. Introduction - COL Miller presented an overview of INSCOM and where GRILL FLAME was located in the INSCOM structure. b. Agenda - LTC Jachim (Incl 1). c. Roles of DIA/INSCOM - LTC Jachim (Incl 2). d. History of the Project in INSCOM - LTC Jachim (Incl 3). e. INSCOM Approach to ACSI Tasking - LTC Jachim (Incl 4). f. Presentation of Completed Evaluated Projects - CW2 McMoneagle (Incl 5). g. Presentation of Completed Unevaluated Projects (Incl 6). 3. (S/NOFORN) Ms. Smiley was familiar with the history of GRILL FLAME, Throughout the briefing Ms. Smiley asked intelligent, thoughtful questions, and took copious notes. She explained that the only reason she was here was the strong support for GRILL FLAME by Rep Charlie Rose (D-NC}, a member of the HPSCI. Ms. Smiley related she had discussed GRILL FLAME with Dr. Hal Puthoff, SRI-I, during his recent trip to Washington (week of 26 April 1982). She explained that while GRILL FLAME had not been cut in the House, it had been cut in the Senate, and, therefore, must go to conference for resolution. Ms. Smiley continued that neither the dollar amount nor the spaces appeared to be at issue, but rather the concept of parapsychology itself. She believed that GRILL FLAME would be an emotional issue in conference. SECRET Approved For Relges eueharn other GieiRiOR 90-somnmet0 0G 40py Jop 14.9, EFL AME

SUBJECT:
GRILL
FLAME
- ACTION MEMORANDUM
(U)
(S/NOFORN)
In
FY
1981,
a Memorandum of Understanding
(enclosure
1)
established
a
jointly
funded
Defense
Intelligence
Agency
(DIA)
and
U.S.
Army
three-year
contractual
effort
known
as GRILL FLAME.
This effort has been
investigating for
the
last year
certain
parapsychological
phenomena,
such
as
remote
viewing
(the
ability
of
individuals
to
mentally
collect
data
at
a
distance),
that
have
potential
military
applications.
Emphasis
in
FY
1981
was
on
evaluating
potential
applications
and
limitations
of
such
phenomena,
and
to
evaluate
the
significance of foreign work, particularly
as
it may pose
a threat
to
the United
States.
SGI J
(S/NOFORN)
The
U.S.
Army has
proposed that the
FY
1982 joint contract with
SRI
International
include
the
training
of
selected
Army
personnel
who
have
had
no
prior
experience
in
remote
viewing.
It
has
been
determined
by
DoD
General
Counsel
that
this
activity
requires
permission
