MEMO ANDUN[ FOR THE RECORD
21 February 1979
SUBJECT: INSCOM PRU,7ECT GRILL }F'L'AME: PROGRESS REPORT #1 (U)
1. (U) Period Covered: 27 October 1978 - 1.6 February 1979
2. (U) Purpose: The purpose of the progress report is to provide
periodic status reports concerning INSCOM's involvement in project
GRILL FLAME. These reports w:L1.1 be shown to "key" TNSCOM personnel and
then only after the TNSCOM GRILL FLAMI Project Officer has determined
that a "need-to-know" exists.
3. (S/ORCON) Introduction: Sometime during the month of October 1978,
Colonel. A. W. Hamel., ADCSOPPS-IIUMINT, INSCOM, was tasked by the DCSOPS,
INSCOM, to provide a Project: Officer for a new program that INSCOM was
becoming fevolved in at the direction of the ACST. Major Murray B. Watt,
PPPA, ADCSOP S-HUMINT, was selected to be the INSCOM Project Manager (P14)
and on 27 October 1978 was so notified.
In short, the new project involved the development: of a program using,
parapsychology phenomena for intell. il ence applications. _ {OW'M

individuals to access and describe, by means of mental. processes, informa-

secure against such access.
4. (S/ORCON) Tasking: As previously stated, I-IQ INSCOM never received
any written tasking on this subject. However, the CG, INSCOM and the.
ACS[ had agreed upon the concept of remote viewing and the need for Army
involvement in this area. At TAB A is a copy of the revised Statement
of Work which provides for the training of three INSCOM personnel. by SRI.

SUBJECT: INSCOM PROJECT GRILL FLAME: PROGRESS REPORT #1 (1t)
5. (S/ORCON) Project Development:: The initial concern of the Project
Manager (PM) was to develop a full uncle r.standing of parapsychology and
the various aspects of the phenomena. Towards this end, the PM has been
greatly assisted by Lieutenant Frederick. 11. Atwater. LT Atwater, although
assigned to the Special Security Detachment, 902d MI Croup, was attached
to the GRILL FLAME project because of previous research into this area
during work on a separate project.
a. To develop a sense of appreciation for an understanding of para-
psychology, the PM undertook a vigorous Research Program (which is still
ongoing) to include the following:
(1) Extensive reading on the subject matter.
(2) Visits to DOD officials with knowledge of the subject. matter.
(3) Visits to SRI (see TABs B and C).
(4) Visits to AMSAA (see TABS D and E).
b. On 24 November .1978, the tentv-,ti.ve milestone schedule for INSCOM
GRILL FLAME activity was submitted to the AI)C,'SOPS--IIUMINT (COI., Hamel) for
his approv31 (see TAB F).
c. DOD Committee Action: On 28 November 1978, the first meeting of
the Working Group Committee of the DOD Special Sensors Project mot at DIA.
(See TAB C.) One of the first actions of the Working Group was to form-
ally change the name of the group to the DOD GRILL FLAME Committee. The
Working Group will meet at the call of the Cha:irp erson. Dr. Jack Vorona,
DIA. MAJ Watt., not only is a member of the Working Group, but he also
sits on the two Ad floc Committees formed to establish "Goals and Objec-
tives" and to develop "experimental protocol and methods for validating
e.xperi.ments."
d. DA GRILL FLAME Committee: DA representatives met at HQ DARCOM
on 28 November 1.978 to discuss Project. GRILL FLAME and what the Army
position should be (see TAB H).
e. Procedures for c.onduc:,t:i.ng "Survey" --- Throughout the orientation
period, MAJ Watt and LT Atwater were busy preparing a method that would
help them select the INSCOM personnel who would volunteer for participa-
tion in the GRILL FLAME Project that I.NSCOM was going to carry out. It
was decided to conduct an interview with selected INSCOM personnel
throughout the greater Washington area. The interviews would serve as
the "guise" under which project personnel could obtain viewpoint

the uses to which such psychic ability should be applied. The following

security purposes the number of personnel actually selected has been

The large difference between nui:nber considered and number interviewed is
due to the elimination factors that wore initially applied when meeting
with the various unit commanders or principal staff officers. The selec-
tion criteria/process was carried out in the following manner:
(1) Decision made to interview oily WO/OFF/Civilians (GS9 and
above).*
(2) Initial elimination based on:
(a) Commander' s evaluation.
(b) Retainability - at least 20 months.
(c) Health.
(d) Not readily available (programmed TDY, schools, etc.).
(3) Conduct personal interviews/survey.
(4) Reassessment process.
(5) Request specific personnel to volunteer for INSCOM program.

(6) SRI personnel interview selected personnel.
(7) Final decision/selection of personnel.
*Exceptions to this rule were made in three cases when project personnel
received strong recommendations concerning three individuals who did not
meet original criteria.
f. Security Aspects: Throughout the developmental phases of this
project, security has been of primary concern--not only security of
GRILL FLAME itself but security/safety of personnel involved with the
project.
Access to GRILL FLAME information is limited to a "Strict Need-to-
Know Basis" and the PM maintains a Security Access Roster of all INSCOM
personnel with knowledge of the activities of the program. Further, the
PM serves as POC for all other agencies desiring GRILL FLAME information
including security status as regards GRILL FLAME.
6. (S/ORCON) Future Plans: The coming weeks will basically be devoted
to the following activities:
a. Initial in-house training of all project, personnel.
I
b. Training at SRI.
C. Establishing, procedures and determining appropriate applications.

1. (S/NOFORN) The US Army :Intelligence and Security Comrnandls
(INSCOM) Project GRILL FLAME investigates and applies remote
viewing phenomena in support of important foreign intelli?;ence
and US counterintelligence requirements. TN.;COM employs active
auty military and Department of the Army civilians in.. the execu-
tion of the project. Both the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
and TNSCOM purchase the services of private contract personnel.
in support of GRILL FLAME. During FY 82, INSCOM plans to train
two newly assigned personnel in remote viewing techniques and con-
tinue to conduct operational sessions against important foreign
Intelligence and counterintelligence requirements.
2. (S/NOFORI) 'The Army General Counsel determined that GRILL
FLAME activities constitute experimentation on human subjects
under Procedure 18, DOD Regulation 5240.1-R. Section 4 of Pro-
cedure 18 requires approval of the Service Secretary or Under
secretary for intelligence components to engage in or contract
or experimentation involving human subjects .
3. (S/NOFORN) The US Army INSCOM GRILL FLAME activities satisfy
the human use. standards of Section 3, Procedure 18. All Army GRILL
FLAME participants are volunteers who have executed written state-
rents of informed consent. Representatives from the Army General
Counsel and the Office of the Army Surgeon General provide legal'
and medical oversight. All contracts entered into by INSCOM con-
tain the written commitment that the provi-si?ns of Procedure 18,
DOD Regulation 5240.1-R will be followed. The DIA contract monitor
ensures the contracted party exec:,:tes their Procedure 18 responsi-
bilities. The Deputy Secretary of Defense authorized DIA partici?-
pation in GRILL FLAME on 11 Dec 81 (Incl 1).

4. (C) Congress eliminated Army FY 82 funding for GRILL FLAME.
At 'the, same time, Congress approved the Army request for five

US Army Intelligence and Security Command, I am exploring the various
options for maintaining a GRILL FLAME effort in FY 82. I will, by
separate correspondence, keep you informed on the future status of
GRILL FLAME FY 82 funding. In the meantime, Army's a%thorlty to
conduct GRILL FLAME operations under the provisions of Procedure
18, DOD Regulation 52140.1-R past 14 Jan 82 must be renewed.
(C) Request the Secretary of the.Army approve our continued

cordance with the provisions of Procedure 18, DOD Regulation 52L10.1-R.

DIRECTOR, DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY SUBJECT: GRILL FLAME Activity (U)
Reference: USORE Memo of 5 Mar 80 on the subject.
(S/NF) The reference limited OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME research
activities, but interposed no objection to low-level support to
intelligence-related efforts.
(S/NF) Since 1980, jointly sponsored research by DIA and Army INSCOM
has shown GRILL FLAME to have potential for military applications. In
the classified annex to the FY 19B3 Authorization Conference Report,
however, the Intelligence Committee conferees agreed that if research
were to continue, it should be outside the National Foreign Intelligence
Program. Although DIA should have sufficient funding in FY 1983 to
complete its GRILL FLAME evaluation, -the conferees did not provide
resources for Army intelligence participation in the project.
(S/NF) A scientific review of GRILL FLAME evidence accumulated in the
course of a three-year -National ~Foreign Intelii en o ~ am.stud .,is to
