INSCOM documents date that program to October 1978, when the ACSI, then MG Thompson, tasked INSCOM to develop a parapsychology program, at that time called GRILL FLAME. He asked the Surgeon General to name a fully qualified behavioral scientist to consult on protocol development, and on 17 September 1980 he met senior SRI staff and released $50K of end-of-year funds for a task for ACSI.
