MEMORANDUM FOR ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT:
GRILL FLAME
1. For the past several years, I have assisted the project GRILL FLAME with
respect to the issue of human experimentation. ' In the course of addressing
this issue, several members of my organization were cleared for this project:
COL Edward L. Buescher, MC, and LTC Richard W. Severson, MSC. COL Buescher is
still with the US Army Medical Research and Development Command, but LTC Severson
has transferred to another assignment. This memorandum requests clearance for
his replacement and several others,
2. Clearance for access to GRILL FLAME documents is requested for the following
individuals:
a. LTC Roger A. Bennett, MSC, Chief, Human Use Review Office (vice LTC
Severson)
b. Ms. Evelyn M. Boone, secretary to the Commander, US Army Medical Research
and Development Command, and Assistant Surgeon General (Research and Development)
c.
David Marlowe, Ph.D., Chief, Department of Military Psychiatry, Division
of Neuropsychiatry, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
3. By training and experience, a social anthropologist with special expertise in
the field of the psychiatry of military organizations, Dr. Marlowe is the best
informed person in the US Army Medical Research and Development Command on the
subject addressed in project GRILL FLAME. I need someone from the professional
staff of the command with whom I can dialogue on the body of knowledge pertaining
to the subject of project GRILL FLAME. Inclusion of Dr. Marlowe among those
cleared for this project will greatly assist me to pursue the possibility of a
research effort as part of GRILL FLAME.
