SUBJECT: Briefing of New ACSI, BG ODOM
1. (U) On 20 November 1981, from 1030-1130 hours. BG Odom was briefed by
COL Norman S. Wells, Director, Intelligence Systems, OACSI and MAJ Dennis O'Keefe,
OACSI GRILL FLAME Project Officer.
2. (FOUO) The OACSI briefing covered the history of the project, participants
past and current, significant actions, funding and future planning. I provided
a summary of INSCOM activities and requestors, and selected samples of successful
projects.
3. (S) BG Odom described himself as an honest skeptic. He expressed an
interest in Army becoming involved in an R&D effort to prove or disprove the
existence of the phenomena. BG Odom questioned the low (40%) useful data ratio
provided requestors, and while COL Wells, MAJ O'Keefe and I tried to put it into
the same perspective as other collection systems, I do not think he was completely
satisfied. (After the brief, COL Wells recommended to MAJ O'Keefe an update on
this after BG Odom becomes more familiar with GRILL FLAME.)
