      SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Status Report (U)
      26 September 1978
      1. (S) On 20 September I met with Colonel Capps, DAMI-ISH,
      to discuss the 902d's participation in the development of a
      training program in Para-Psychology Phenomena. We had been
      advised the week before through General Rolya that the 902d was
      to oease any further planning for its concept of training with
      the Monroe Institute. I wished to find out where we stood
      regarding the program.
      2. (S) Colonel Capps related the following:
           a. After talks among ~U Thompson, Dr. LeBerge, Dr. Verona, et al,
      it was decided that this whole program needed to be coordinated
      with DOD. Consequently, a working group is to be established with
      representatives from all concerned parties regarding the future
      DOD involvement in this phenomena.
      b. INSCOM would be requested to provide a representative
      for the working group mentioned above to act as a coordinator for
      INSCOM involvement.
           c. The 902d project, unclassified title GONDOLA WISH, was
      cancelled. TWo factors impinged on this decision:
           (1) The M~onroe Institute is not cleared for classified
      training or information.
           (2) The type of training to be given by the Monroe Institute.
      It was felt that this training could be categorized as experimnting
      with the human mind. If so, under recent legislation, it would have
      to be cleared through an office at HEW. MG Thonpson did not want to
      go that route until the legal ramifications were thoroughly examined.
           d. DARCOM has an ongoing contract in this general area with SRI,
      California which is not encumbered by p6ssible legalities. The
      probability existed of our satelliting training on their contract.
      Colonel Capps suggested that both ACSI and INSCOM provide funding to
      DARCOM for Military Intelligence training subject to the approval of
      General Guthrie. He opined that $75,000.00 would be good and that
      ACSI could probably provide $25,000.00 if INSCOM could find $50,000.00.

    MEMORANDUM FOR: BRIGADIER GENERAL SMTrEI
    3. (C) Irm-ediately following ny talk with Colonel Capps I
    briefed General Rolya on where we stood, specifically asking his
    OK for INSCOM to provide $50,000.00 in year-end funds as an
    add-on to the DARCOM. contract with SRI for the purpose of training
    some MI personnel. He approved expenditure of the funds. Subsequently,
    I coordinated with Colonel Whitt and Mr. Staffone.
    4. (C) BG Teal secured General Guthrie's approval for using the
    DARCOM contract. A total of $65,000.00 ($15,000.00 from ACSI)
    has been provided to DARCOM for training. We now await further
    information from ACSI as to when training will begin and how
    many people we are to provide (one or two was discussed as initial
    input).
    5. (U) For now, ACSI wants the nmie of INSCOM's representative
    to their working group.' The 902d is prepared to provide such an
    individual, but I recamiend that the DCSCI interject themselves
    into this project and provide this contract. I feel that they
    should be dealing with the ACSI staffers and we should take our
    lead from the DCSCI. If you agree, I will talk to Colonel Cary
    regarding this matter.
