1. (C) To undertake the GRILL FLAME program described by the
references, it is requested that the following actions be taken:
review the mission and objectives statement (Enclosure 1), the
proposed Memorandum of Understanding (Enclosure 2) and the pro-
posed contract with SRI International (Enclosure 3) and forward
your recommended changes to DIA. DIA will the;: make the necessary
revisions and issue a formal Statement of Missions and objectives,
an o.i=ficial Memorandum of Understanding and a formal Joint
Sarvicc Contract to SRI.
2. (U) DIA intends to issue the contract no later than 1 October
1980. This will insure that a full year's-effort will be pro-
vided by the contractor. To facilitate-this objective the DIA
requires from each Service a statement of the exact amount of
`ands that will be MIPR'd to DIA to support the FY 1981. effort.
3. (C) It is DIA's belief that the entire first year effort
should be at SRI International. the need to have more
than one contractor in this field is clearly recognized, the
funding level and time constraints preclude such course of action
in the FY 1981 contract year.
