Mr. Robert R. Simmons
Staff Director
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Room G308, Dirksen Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Rob:
(U) Following up our conversation yesterday, we have arranged to
take up to six Committee members and staff on Friday, 1& April, to visit
Army's GRILL FLAME facility at Fort Meade. If you agree, they will be
met at the Dirksen Building at 0900 and should be back by 1330. The
facility will hold only a limited number of visitors comfortably. If
more than six would like to go, we'll arrange another trip.
(S) GRILL FLAME will be an authorization conference item. Although
the resources are not large, the substantive implications are. We need
to complete the evaluation to make informed judgements about the foreign
intelligence threat, countermeasures that can and should be developed,
and the phenomenon's operational potential.
(U) The main sticking points seem to be the intelligence
implications -- whether the GRILL FLAME evaluation is worth completing
and whether it should be done by the Intelligence Community. Much of
the concern should be laid to rest by the Fort Meade trip. Please let
me know by noon Thursday who will go.
With best regards,
.
