MEMORANDUM THRU CHIEF OF STAFF, ARMY
FOR UNDER SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
SUBJECT :
USofA GRILL BLAME Request (U) -- INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
1. (S/ORCON) On 25 October 1978, Stanford Research Institute
(SRI) wrote to the USofA soliciting his assistance in getting
& GRILL FLAME proposal out of US Army Development and Readiness
Command (DARCOM) and into the system. Dr. LaBerge then asked
the ACSI to provide him the facts of the matter. (See TAB A. )
2. (S/ORCON) The proposal in question is one developed by
the Missile Intelligence Agency (MIA), in which four Basic
Research tasks are established for SRI to accomplish,
MIA
believes that these tasks will lead to the development of an
end item of equipment -- a remote switching device that can be
triggered by mental processes (Psychokinesis). (At TAB B is
an extract of a former SRI proposal, on which the current MIA
one is based. )
3.
(S/ORCON) The MIA GRILL FLAME action officer, Mr. Charles
Carter, provided the following information on the subject:
a. Mr. Carter recently visited SRI and came away convinced
that a major breakthrough has been achieved, whereby a human
Subject successfully interferred mentally with a computer-
driver random noise generator. That visit resulted in the
aforementioned proposal from MIA.
b. The proposal was to have been presented to Dr. Richard
Haley, DARCOM Deputy Director for Development and Engineering,
in early November, but scheduling problems prevented that.
Except for an abstract, Dr. Haley is essentially unaware of
details of the MIA proposal.

USofA GRILL FLAME Request (U) -- INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
c.
On 28 November 1978, Dr. Haley is chairing a GRILL FLAME
meeting of all Army participants.
d. At that meeting, MIA intends to provide Dr. Haley and
other concerned parties with full details of their proposal.
4. (S/ORCON) There appears to be no need for the USofA to
personally intervene at this point. After the 28 November
meeting at DARCOM, ACSI or his staff can fully brief Dr. LaBerge
on the MIA proposal, and on any other GRILL FLAME developments
that may be projected.
