SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Activity (U)
(S) This note is for the purpose of establishing policy with
respect to OUSDRE support of investigations into parapsychology
and-its potential military applications.
(S) Based upon the December 1979 report of Che GRILL FLAME
Scientific Evaluation Conunittee and upon my own sense of .
priorities for efforts within the OUSDRE, I believe it appropriate
that the Recommendations of Chapter 3, pages 10 and 11, relating
to OUSDRE activities be implemented.
(S.)-.
a at ons as___the'_'y_-_r-_ela'_t'e to
OUSDRE is that it was found to be not-
technology programs aimed at scientific demonstration of the
existence of t@e subject effects, and that as a consequence
future work at AMSAA and Huntsville in these areas not be auth-
orized by USDRE. Therefore, no new work will be initiated under
the sponsorship of OUSDRE in the areas of potential military
application of parapsychology effects.
(S) otheir"'6c,ommendations-in the-report deal. with intelligence
related R&D and suggest a continuation of low level efforts
within the INSCOM. These activities clearly are outside the
responsibility of OUSDRE and therefore are neither endorsed
nor denied. When intelligence related parapsychological efforts
require support by OUSDRE personnel or facilities, I would like
,@o be a-dvised, but interpose no objection if the level of their
requests are not an appreciable fraction of the work of the
facility involved.
