SUBJECT :
GRILL FLAME Activity (U)
Reference: USDRE Memo of 5 Mar 80 on the subject.
(S/NF) The reference limited OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME research
activities, but interposed no objection to low-level support to
intelligence-related efforts.
(S/NF) Since 1980, jointly sponsored research by DIA and Army INSCOM
has shown GRILL FLAME to have potential for military applications. In
the classified annex to the FY 1983 Authorization Conference Report,
however, the Intelligence Committee conferees agreed that if research
were to continue, it should be outside the National Foreign Intelligence
Program. Although DIA should have sufficient funding in FY 1983 to
complete its GRILL FLAME evaluation, the conferees did not provide
resources for Army intelligence participation in the project.
(S/NF) A scientific review of GRILL FLAME evidence accumulated in the
course of a three-year National Foreign Intelligence Program study is to
be completed by early April 1983. In the interim, Program 6 resources
may be used to maintain the current Army INSCOM capability and
supplement as necessary the FY 83 DIA evaluation effort. I would like to
be informed in advance of the proposed Program 6 funding sources
identified to support these intelligence research activities. Future
OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME or related activities will depend in
part on the results of the DIA evaluation and any other such review as I
deem appropriate.

SECRETARY OF LEFENSE

Awoust 23, 1982
Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger
Secretary of Defense
Washington, D.C. 20301
Dear Mr. Secretary:
.
The Committee of Conference on the Fiscal Year 1983 Intelligence
Authorization Bill has agreed to reconcile the positions of the House and
Senate concerning GRILL FLAME by funding the program at a level of
$300,000. This amount will permit the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
to complete the third year of a three year contract with Stanford Research
Institute (SRI) and to evaluate the results of this multi-year effort.
..
As you are aware, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
has watched with interest Defense Department research into
parapsychological applications. The Committee requests, therefore, that a
comprehensive report be prepared documenting the results of the SRI
contract and that it be submitted to this Committee not later than October
15, 1983. The report should discuss the methodology and findings of the
research effort to include all relevant statistical analyses on remote
viewing trial applications. It should also address appropriate
recommendations for future research or operational applications of
.
parapsychological phenomena.
With every good wish, I
Sincerely yours,
1
HARD P. BOLAND
