 Dear Rob:
 14 April 1982
 (U) Following up our conversation yesterday, we hay arranged to
 take up to six Committee members and staff on Friday, 7  April, to visit
 Army's GRILL FLAME facility at Fort Meade.  If you agree, they will be
 met at the Dirksen Building at 0900 and should be back by 1330. The
 facility will hold only a limited number of visitors comfortably. If
 more than six would like to go, we'll arrange another trip.
 (S) GRILL FLAME will be an authorization conference item.  Although
 the resources are not large, the substantive implications are. We need
 to complete the evaluation to make informed judgements about the foreign
 intelligence threat, countermeasures that can and should be developed,
 and the phenomenon's operational potential.
 (U) The main sticking points seem to be the intelligence
 implications -- whether the GRILL FLAME evaluation is worth completing
 and whether it should be done by the Intelligence Community.  Much of
 the concern should be laid to rest by the Fort Meade trip.  Please let
 me know by noon Thursday who will go.
 With best regards,
 Deputy  rogran manager
