ACTION REQUIRED
That ZA reject unsolicited proposal
MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD.
( Describe briefly the requirement, background and action taken or recommended. Must be sufficiently detailed to identify
the action without recourse to other sources. )
1.
(U)
BACKGROUND:
ZA tasked MAJ Hay to evaluate unsolicited proposal at TAB B.
2. (S/NOFORN)
DISCUSSION: Mr. Clemmons name was provided to R. F. Cross Associates
by a former INSCOM officer who thought INSCOM might have some interest with regard to
LITINT for use in the OPSEC effort, but doubted anyone had interest in the parapsychology
portion of the proposal. MAJ Hay asked Tom Forman, the GRILL FLAME OPSEC Officer, to
look at the proposal and informally provide an evaluation. Mr. Forman provided a very
professional evaluation at TAB A.
3. (S/NOFORN)
RECOMMENDATION:
MAJ Hay agrees completely with Mr. Forman's evaluation
that this proposal should be rejected for the following reason: INSCOM is capable of
duplicating the whole proposal at a much lower cost.
This effort could be done in the
same timeframe with equal or better results without hindering current INSCOM mission.
Suggests ZA consider tasking INSCOM to perform this effort using a special team to target
GRILL FLAME.
This would provide us with good open source read out as to what the Soviets
are doing in this area and tell us how good our OPSEC has been concerning GRILL FLAME.
MAJ Hay can inform Mr. Clemmons that we are not interested in the proposal as we have
what we consider to be a good in-house LITINT capability and are not interested in the
parapsychology effort at this time.
