 intelligence-related but interposed no
 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.

 Dear Kr. 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 FLARE 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 Co=ittee 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
 reconinendetions for future research or operational applications of
 parapsychological phenomena.
 With every good wish. I am
