operational missions due to excessive noise.
The following chart
outlines the
"noise"
conditions for
the period indicated above:
(1)
Noise Condition:
Sessions
%
Bad(continuous,
loud, etc)
OK (soft, periodic, etc)
Canceled(prior to start)
(2)
Viewer's Response:
Disturbed
Undisturbed
Mission Canceled
I want to stress that all sessions conducted during this period were all
operational
in nature and being carried out
at the request
of outside agencies.
b.
Lack of Analyst Space :
Since
21 Jan 80 we have been operating with the
personnel assigned
to the task force.
This has meant that we have full time
analysts on-board and working
on individual intelligence requirements as provided
by various organizations within the intelligence community.
However,
we do not
have the necessary work space
to insure that conversations and working discus-
sions will not be overheard by other members
of the task force.
We have to
be able to assure ourselves
(as well as outsiders)
that internal compartment-
ation has been maintained where appropriate.
c.
Security
of Viewers :
Current physical constraints make it necessary
to conduct the remote viewing sessions
in the immediate work area thereby
increasing the danger that their identities may become known to outside
visitors.
4.
(U)
Request your immediate intervention into this situation with the goal
of obtaining the necessary work area for Project GRILL FLAME.
