Honorable William Proxmire
United States Senate

Dear Senator Proxmire:
In answer to your letter of 23 February, the Department of Defense
has spent $2,515,000 on psychic research over the past ten years under
project GRILL FLAME. It is a joint DIA-Army investigation of remote
viewing, a psychoenergetics phenomenon that has'potential for military
application. (S)
I have attached three background papers. The first, a technical
intelligence report, will give you an overview of Soviet research in the
field. The second, a GRILL FLAME project report, explains the project
and gives its findings and recommendations. The third is a program
review by three outside experts: Dr. Adey, a medical doctor, Dr. Kerr,
the director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Dr.
Zachariasen, a professor of theoretical physics. (U)
Copies of these background papers are on file with the Senate
Committee on Appropriations. Ms. Susan Shekmar is the cognizant staff
member. Because of their sensitivity, I request that you store these
copies in the Appropriations Committee vault and-ret_urn,them to me when
you no longer need them. (U)
Dr. Jack Vorona, the Assistant Vice Director of DIA for Scientific
and Technical Intelligence, is the overall GRILL FLAME project manager.
