5. (SINOFORN) OACSI has been working with DCSRDA to
determine how P6 money can be obtained for INSCOM projects.
6. (SINOFORN) On 28 Feb 83, an ACSI/INSCOM meeting will
take place at AHS. Attending will be BG Strom and Maj (P)
Fox (OACSI) and BG Shufelt, Col Miller, and myself. The
purpose is to update ACSI on Project CENTER LANE, discuss
recent actions concerning the DoD GRILL FLAME Project in
which ACSI has been involved or is aware, and to work out a
joint position for the future. One topic which will surely
arise is the anticipated INSCOM use of P6 funds. LTC
Hartzell and I have proposed projects to be funded by P6
funds. They have been submitted to BG Shufelt for review.
A copy is attached for your information in the event the
topic arises in your discussion with the ACSI (Incl 3).
7. (S/CL-1/NOFORN) I am scheduled to brief Hon Jay R.
Sculley, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Research,
Development and Acquisition) and LTG J.H. Merryman, Deputy
Chief of Staff for Research, Development and Acquisition on
8 March, from 1300-1330 hours. Briefing was arranged by
ACSI. Also attending will be BG Strom and Maj (P) Fox
(OACSI). The briefing will cover an orientation to INSCOM
involvement in parapsychology and the anticipated uses of P6
funds.'
8. (SINOFORN) Based upon the DeLaurer Memo,, Dr Vorona
(DIA), has either obtained or received commitment for $200K
from DARPA. This is the amount that Dr Vorona stated was
needed to keep SRI intact for FY 83. Since he now has
moneyr Dr Vorona has indicated to Maj (P) Fox that he would
fund our future FY 83 training contracts with SRI. He does
not believe this is in conflict with the FY 83 Intelligence
Committee position.
9. (SINOFORN) On or about 11 Feb 83, the ACSI met with
the Secretary of the Army. The purpose was to update him
concerning recent actions concerning the DoD GRILL FLAME
