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.
