MEMORANDUM FOR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (RESER.ACH,
DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION)
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY (RESEARCH,
ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS)
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE AIR. FORCE (RESEARCH,
DEVELOPMENT AND LOGISTICS)
SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Activity (U)
(S) This note is for the purpose of establishing policy with
respect to OUSDRE support of investigations into parapsychology
a.nd--its potential military applications.
(S) Based upon the December 1979 report of the GRILL FLAME
Scientific Evaluation Conurnittee and upon my own sense of .
priorities for efforts within the OUSDRE, I believe It appropriate
that the Recommendations of Chapter 3, pages 10 and 11, relating
to OUSDRE activities be implemented.
OUSDRE is that it was found to be not--appropriate t fund -- - .~.
technology programs aimed at scientific demonstration of the
existence of the subject effects, and that as a consequence
future work at AMSAA and Huntsville in these areas not be auth-
orized by USDRE. Therefore, no new work will be initiated under
the sponsorship of OUSDRE in the areas of potential military
application of parapsychology effects.
(S) Other i- commendations in the-report deal. with intelligence
related R&D and suggest a continuation of low level efforts
within the IN SCOM. These activities clearly are outside the
responsibility of OUSDRE and therefore are neither endorsed
nor denied. When intelligence related parapsychological efforts
require support by OUSDRE personnel or facilities, I would like
, o be advised, but interpose no objection if the level of their
requests are not an appreciable fraction of the work of the
facility involved.
