REMARKS
SUBJ: GRILL FLAME Update
1. At 161400 Jul 81, Tim Hatch ( Office of the Army
General Counsel) and LTC Mike Chase (Army Legislative
Liaison) met with Cong. Rose. The subject of the meet-
ing was the delay in releasing Army GRILL FLAME funding.
Cong. Rose explained to Hatch, in a rather agitated and
vigorous manner, that he expected the human use issue
to be resolved by 23 Jul 81. If not, he would convene
a House Intelligence Subcommittee meeting on 30 Jul and
invite Mr. Carlucci, Mr. Marsh and Hatch to attend.
2. Aat 171700 Jul 81, I received from the Army General
Counsel a Memo for ZA authorizing him to release FY 81
funds for GRILL FLAME expenditures. The AGC intends
DO NOT use this form as a RECORD of approvals, concurrences, disposals,
clearances, and similar actions

Approved For Release 2004/09/09 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001100440070-6
to continue the human use debate for FY 82 monies.
The AGC Memo is attached for your review.
3. Para 3 of the Memo advises us to seek a consolidated
certification of GRILL FLAME activities by the SA. This
is exactly what we attempted to do in Dec 80. When the
SA approved Army's GRILL FLAME efforts, it was the AGC
who ruled that the certification applied only to INSCOM
activities. We will try again in FY 82.
4. Para 4 of the Memo recommends independent Army
contracting with civilian firms. This obviates the
problem of getting DIA to agree with us on the
human use issue. It adds, however, the administrative
burden of Army executing and monitoring its own contracts.
I recommend we continue to seek agreement with DIA that
GRILL FLAME participation by Army is human use ( NOTE:
LTC Watt plans to send his new cadre to SRI during FY 82
for training) and that joint DIA-Army involvement
( coordinated contracting, joint contracts, etc. ) coopts
DIA into the human use arena. This subject will be
included in the next GRILL FLAME Committee meeting
in Sep 81.
LTC Watt was informed on 20 Jul 81 that he had
Deash
SG1J
clearance to release his FY 81 money.
DIA,
wa's advised that Army's money for FY 81 GRILL FLAME
contracting was forthcoming. He will inform Dr. Vorona
of this.

Chase, OCLL WAS
