SUBJECT :
GRILL FLAME Program (U)
References :
a.
DIA letter, S-1107/DT-1, 19 May 1980, subject:
GRILL FLAME.
b. GRILL FLAME briefing, 9 April 1980.
c.
GRILL FLAME Conference, 30 June to 3 July 1980.
d.
GRILL FLAME briefing, 7 July 1980.
e. GRILL FLAME briefing, 9 July 1980.
1. (C) To undertake the GRILL FLAME program described by the
references, it is requested that the following actions be taken:
review the mission and objectives statement (Enclosure 1), the
proposed Memorandum of Understanding (Enclosure 2) and the pro-
posed contract with SRI International (Enclosure 3) and forward
your recommended changes to DIA.
DIA will then make the necessary
revisions and issue a formal Statement of Missions and Objectives,
an official Memorandum of Understanding and a formal Joint
Service Contract to SRI.
2. (U) DIA intends to issue the contract no later than 1 October
1980. This will insure that a full year's effort will be pro-
vided by the contractor. To facilitate this objective the DIA
requires from each Service a statement of the exact amount of
funds that will be MIPR'd to DIA to support the FY 1981 effort.
3. (C) It is DIA's belief that the entire first year's effort
should be at SRI International. While the need to have more
than one contractor in this field is clearly recognized, the
funding level and time constraints preclude such course of action
in the FY 1981 contract year.

4. (C) To insure that the subject of multiple contractors
receives the necessary attention, it will be placed on the agenda
of the first FY 1981 GRILL FLAME meeting.
Another subject to be
then considered is the scope of the GRILL FLAME group's responsi-
bilities. At present, its scope is limited to the monitoring of
external assistance contracts.
5. (C) While the DIA would appreciate receiving your response as
early as possible, it should reach us no later than ll August 1980
The next meeting of the action officers with the primary contract
monitor is scheduled to begin on 11 August. This session will
refine the work statement of the SRI International contract to
include time phasing and prioritization of the contract elements.
