MEMORANDUM FOR DEPUTY ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Actions (U)
1. (S/NOFORN) The Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering
(USDRE) has authorized the use of Program 6 resources to maintain the current
Army GRILL FLAME capability and supplement as necessary the FY 83 DIA evalua-
tion effort (Incl 1). It is intended that these funds be used during FY 83.
2. (U) As a result of the USDRE memo above, the Office of the Assistant
Secretary of . the Army (Research, Development and Acquisition) has notified
the Deputy Chief of Staff for Research, Development and Acquisition (DCSRDA)
that OACSI will be seeking P.6 funds amounting to approximately $150K for
GRILL FLAME activity. LTG Merryman, DCSRDA has requested a briefing on GRILL
FLAME and presumedly he also desires to know what our funding needs are.
3. (S/NOFORN) Per discussion with ZB 24 Jan 83, a briefing for LTG Merryman
will be set up for Tuesday or Wednesday (31 Jan or 1 Feb 83). The briefing
will be by MAJ(P) Fox with ZB attending. At this briefing OACSI should be
prepared to present INSCOM desires re funding levels and activities to be
funded. It is anticipated that the request and approval vehicle for the funds
will be a memo from DAMI-ISH to DCSRDA, in a fashion similar to an existing
ISH arrangement with DCSRDA on another matter. Monies from DCSRDA would be
channeled thru INSCOM (again in a fashion similar to an existing agreement) to
the contractor for GRILL FLAME training. It is important to note that:
a. (S/NOFORN) The monies cannot go to DIA (and hence to the contractor)
since that would place the funds back into the NFIP and we have a Congres-
sional decision precluding the use of NFIP funds.
b. (U) A contract must exist for services to be provided by the funds.
c. (C) Payment from DCSRDA, once made, cannot be returned.
Partial
payment, as needed, may be used if desired.
4. (S/NOFORN) Sec Army annual approval for human use issues is due this
month. He should be informed of the program's status, it's name change,
intent to use P.6. funds and probable participation in DIA's efforts to have
a panel review and testimony to Congress in the near future.

SUBJECT:
GRILL FLAME Actions (U)
5. (S) DIA's decision to have a formal panel review and to brief Congress
is driven by a letter to the SecDef from Mr. Bolan, Chairman, House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence (Incl 2). While OACSI has only been infor-
mally requested to have INSCOM participate in the review and briefing process,
a formal request will probably be forthcoming and we would expect to accede to
DIA's desires.
6. (U) An OACSI/INSCOM meeting should be set up prior to the DCSRDA briefing
to discuss the issues involved in Army GRILL FLAME's future so that we have a
common course and consensus.
OACSI attendees would be ZB and MAJ(P) Fox;
INSCOM attendees might include BG Hunt, COL Hyman, COL Miller and LTC Jachim.
