(Describe briefly the requirement, background and action taken or recommended. Must be sufficiently detailed to identify the action without recourse to other Sources. ) 1. (U) Purpose. To give ZA a status report on Project GRILL FLAME. 2. (U) Discussion: Following are significant events in June 1981 concerning Army participation in GRILL FLAME. a. (SINOFORN) Human Use Issue. The Under Secretary of the Army approved INSCOM GRILL FLAME activities on 14 Jan 81 (TAB A . The Army General Counsel determined that this authority applied only to internal Army GRILL FLAME activities. Army participa- tion with other governmental and private elements in support of GRILL FLAME required separate SA/USofA approval. SA approval was sought by OACSI DA on 8 May 81 and obtained on 27 May 81 (TAB R). On the basis of this approval, INSCOM released its FY 81 GRILL FLAME money to DIA for inclusion in a DIA-Army contract with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) UAR C . On 15 June 81 Tim Hatch, Office of the Army General Counsel, asked me if I had heard whether or not DOD had resolved the human use issue, i.e., had obtained Secretary of Defense certification of the DIA GRILL FLAME Program. Ireplied that it appeared to be a moot point since SA certified the Army program. Hatch stated that it was a live issue inasmuch as the AGC advised the SA that his approval of the ZA letter dated 8 May 81 (TAB B) was contingent upon the review and 7w approval by the Secretary or Deputy Secretary of Defense. Hatch produced an ACC memo dated 15 May 81 .STAB ) as his authority. Apparently this memo accompanied the ACSI letter of 8 May 81 ~TAB.B. to the SA. I did not know of the AGG letter until 15 Jun 81. The INSCOM money was intercepted at DIA and returned to INSCOM. SRI was informed of the new delay in Army funding pending the resolution of the human use issue by the DOD and Army General Counsels. An officinl -f SRI passed information concerning the .latest delay tc ., had a telephone conversation on the subject with SA Marsh. According to Hatch, resolution of the human use issue is now a priority task for the DOD and Army General Counsels. SG1 I b. (S/NOFORN) Personnel.
