We are entering the next phase of GRILL FLAME,
in which a different
"activity" is to be explored for its military potential.
On 3 April
the Under Secretary of the Army was briefed by project officers from
Redstone Arsenal.
His comments at the conclusion were to the effect
that no time should be wasted in getting this part of GRILL FLAME moving.
This means that the services of your GRILL FLAME Human Use Review Panel
would once again be required, possibly within the next six to eight weeks.
Your assistance and attention in this matter are greatly appreciated.
Signed
E.

LABERGE, PRINCIPAL DEPUTY, UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME 1. In that the GRILL FLAME Science Evaluation Committee's final report is being disseminated and evaluated, recommend you convene the Steering Committee soon. I feel that we are at a major decision point. and need to discuss where and how the program should be directed. For one, I would appreciate an opportunity to hear briefly from the Science Committee assembled, how they arrived at the conclusions and recommenda- tions contained in the report. Also of possible benefit to us would be a presentation from the GRILL FLAME Working Group chaired by Dr. Vorona.: 2. I would like to bring to your attention a small, but potentially serious problem. It is the question of the legal and medical aspects of GRILL FLAME, as they pertain to the use of "human subjects." I recommend that we consider adding to the Steering Committee, an individual thoroughly versed in those subjects. Brigadier General Garrison Rapmund, whom I believe you know, has such a background and has been involved with GRILL FLAME. for over a year. He would be a valuable addition to our group. If you and the other Steering Committee members have no objection, I will discuss the matter with BG Rapmund and LTG Pixley, the Army Surgeon General. E. R.
