DAMI- ISH
4 Feb 83
ISSUE :
(C) To update the Secretary of the Army about recent
events impacting on Army GRILL FLAME.
FACTS :
1. (S/NOFORN) On 20 Aug 82 OACSI, DA was informed that
Congressional budget authorization committee conferees had agreed
to curtail all operational activities conducted by Army GRILL
FLAME in the Nation Foreign Intelligence Program at the end of
fiscal year 1982. The conferees agreed to retain $0.3M for DIA
to complete the third year of a three year research project. .
Further funding, if any, of this parapsychological research and
experimentation activity was to be budgeted outside of NFIP.
2. (S) In keeping with the Congressional decision, Army GRILL
FLAME ceased operational activity as of 30 Sep 82. Commander,
Intelligence and Security Command decided to conduct a similar
program within the Army Counterintelligence and Operational
Security Program.
3. (S/NOFORN) As a result of the efforts of the Director,
General Defense Intelligence Program, the Under Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering has authorized the use in FY
83 of Program 6 resources to maintain current Army INSCOM capabi-
lity and supplement as necessary the FY 83 Defense Intelligence
Agency evaluation effort. The USDRE memorandum was accompanied
by a very gratifying Flag Note from Director, DIA (Incl 1). We
fully intend to capitalize on the opportunity presented by the
USDRE decision and will be briefing both the Assistant Secretary
of the Army (Research, Development and Acquisition) and the
Deputy Chief of Staff for Research, Development and Acquisition
in the near future.

(S)
The DIA evaluation effort referred to in the USDRE
memorandum is in response to a letter to the Secretary of Defense
from the Chairman, US House of Representatives Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence (Incl 2). We are prepared to support
DIA in their evaluation effort and expect that INSCOM GRILL FLAME
achievements will play an important part in the process of vali-
dating the use of Remote Viewing in operational applications.
5. (S/NOFORN)
Because of the relatively wide dissemination of
Army GRILL FLAME information during the budget justification
period, INSCOM has changed the project name to "CENTER LANE."
The project continues as a Special Access Program under its new
title and we will seek your approval in the near future to con-
tinue to engage in DOD GRILL FLAME activities as CENTER LANE
during 1983.
