This Joint Service three year GRILL FLAME effort is intended to implement a
comprehensive effort designed from the outset to determine the operational
parameters and usefulness of certain elements of psychoenergetics and assess
the threat these phenomena pose to the national security. The DOD GRILL
FLAME effort will include, but not be limited to, external assistance con-
tracts. (It is recognized that a minimum of 390K is necessary to maintain
an adequate program for the first year (FY 81).) Currently 390K is programmed
from Army, Air Force, and DIA to maintain external contracts.) (In the interim,
until the additional funds are forthcoming, the DIA will prepare Joint Service
ese
contracts for FY 81 in the amount of 390K. This contracts will be for a 12
month period, with options to continue for a second or third year.)
It is
recognized that each participant reserves the right to discontinue partici-
pation in this program at the end of each fiscal year. When the funds become
available additional contracts will be developed. Contracts of at least 30K
in the first year will be established to initiate investigation of psychokinetics
The GRILL FLAME Committee will seek throughout the first year, and continually
during follow on years, to examine capabilities in RV and PK developed by
potential contractors and unanimously agree to contract with the contractors
who can best meet the requirements of the DOD at the least possible cost.
