         SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Project Report (U)
         1. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) At inclosure 1 is a copy of the Defense
         Intelligence Agency (DIA) Project Report, dated 19 October
         1983. In keeping with Congressional directives, USAINSCOM
         terminated involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY 82
         while DIA completed the effort. It is recommended that this
         report be carefully read by all addressees as it documents a
         $1.5 million, 3-year, US DoD/ Intelligence Community effort in
         psychoenergetics. Attention is especially invited to page 10,
         intelligence potential and INSCOM involvement (tab A, incl 1),
         and page 19, report recommendations (tab B, incl 1).
         2. (S/NOFORN) At inclosure 2 is a copy of the final draft of a
         report from an independent Scientific Evaluation Team. DIA
         assembled this team of scientists at the request of Congressman
         Boland. It is our understanding that these documents received a
         favorable indorsement from Secretary of Defense Weinberger. A
         copy of the final report will be obtained by this office, and,
         if substantially different from the attached final draft, will

         be forwarded for your review. The following comments are
         provided by this office and are in reference to annotated
         portions of the team's evaluation and recommendations:
              a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The "investigators" referred to in the
         report are contractors who, over the years, have only responded
         to funded statements of work (tab C, incl 2). They were not
         tasked (funded) to investigate a "mechanistic basis" for
         coordinate remote viewing. In contradiction to the statement
         concerning "appraisal of other potentially successful methods,"
         (tab C, incl 2), they were, in fact, funded to determine the
         relative effectiveness of various targeting procedures under the
         GRILL FLAME Program in 1982.
              b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) The GRILL FLAME and CENTER LANE
         Projects both are "applications" oriented due to budgetary
         restrictions (prohibition against P6 funding in past years),
         mission orientation (USAINSCOM is not a R&D unit), and fiscal
         constraint (a "Pure science" effort requires a multi-million
         dollar/multi-year commitment)(tab D, incl 2). We agree that
         -there should be a "scientific research program" separate from
         our applications approach and we understand that a 5-year, ten
         plus million dollar program in basic research is under
         consideration at the present time.
