     1. WORCON) On 25 Octobe@r 19 78, Stanford Research Institute
     (SRI) wrote to the USofA soliciting his assistance in getting
     a GRILL PLk?AE proposal out of US Army Development and Readiness
     Command (DARCOM) and into the system. Dr. LaPerge then asked
     the ACSI to provide him the facts of the matter. (See TAB A.)
     2. (VORICOM.) The proposal in question is one developed by
     the Missile Intelligence P%gency (MIA), in which four Ba51r,,
     Research tasks. are established for SRI to accomplish, MIA
     believen that these tasks will lead to the development of an
     end item of equipment--a remote switching device that can bp
     trigqered by mental processes (Psychokinesis). (At TAB 3 is
     an extract of a former SRI proposal, on w1iich the current IMIA
     one is based.)
     3. WORCON) Tl,-ie MIA GRILL FLAME action offie@er, Mr. Charles
     Carter, provided the following information on the subject:
          a. Mr. Carter recently visited SRI and came away convinced
     that a major breakthrough has been achieved, whereby a human
     Subject successfully interferred mentally with a computer-
     driver random noise generator. That visit resulted in the
     aforementioned proposal from MIA.
          b. The proposal was to have been presented to Dr. Richard
     Haley, DARCONT Deputy Director for Development and Engineering,
     in early Novezrzriber, but scheduling problems prevented that.
     Except for an. abstract, Dr. Haloy is essentially unetware of'
     details of tile .111A poroposal,

            SUBJECT: USofA GRILL FLAME Request (U)-INFORIMATION MEMORANDUM
                 a. On 28 November 1978, Dr. Haley is chairing a GRILL FLAME
            meeting of all Army participants.
                 d. At that meeting, MIA intends -'kl-o provide Dr. Haley and
            other concerned parties with full details of their proposal.
            4. (VOTICON) There appears to be no neod for the USofA to
            personally intervene at this point. After the 208 November
            meeting at DARCOM, ACS1 or his staff can fully brief Dr. LaRerge
            on the MIA proposal, and on any other GRILL FLAME developments
            that may be project-ed.
