 SUBJECT:  Initial Grill Flame Briefing to MG Stubblebine as CG, INSCOPI,
 30 June 1981
 1.  (U)  This MER outlines the major points of the briefing I gave to
 MG Stubblebine on 30 June 1981.  Following personnel attended the briefing:
 MG STUBBLEBINE, CG, INSCOM
 BG FLYNN, DCG-I
 COL(P) WEINSTEIN, DCG-S
 COL WHITE, ADCSOPS-HUMINT
 MR. GARRETT, DDCSOPS-HUMINT
 LTC JACHIM, INCOMING PROJECT MANAGER
 LTC WATT, PROJECT MANAGER
 2.  (U)  Intl 1 covers the primary points of my briefing and depicts the
 status of the program as of 26 June 1981.
 3.  (U)  MG Stubblebine instructed us to ensure that there wore no legal
 problems concerning our joint contractual effort with DIA, especially to be
 watchful of mixing OM&A and R&D monies as this is forbidden by regulations.
 I informed the CG that OACSI was currently researching the problem, and we
 would ensure that all aspects of INSCOM's involvement complied with the regula-
 tions.
 4.  (S/NOFORN)  I briefed the current plans for FY81 and FY82, including problems
 we have had with the contract for FY81.  I explained that we still had not
 transferred the 130K to DIA because the Army General Consul (AGC) and DoD General
 Consul could not agree on the "Human Use Issue."  I mentioned that we had received
 word from OACSI (MAJ O'Keefe) that Congressman Rose had called the Secretary of
 Army about the situation.  In turn, the Secretary had called AGC and instructed
 that the issue be settled promptly.  Although INSCOM is not at fault for the
 delay, I pointed out that the excessive delay hurts the program as a whole and
 could give the impression of poor project management.  MG Stubblebine will
 discuss the issue with the ACSI (MG Thompson) on 2 July 1.981.
 Regarding FY 82, I explained that our current budget for FY82 will result in a
 short-fall of approximately 50K to carry out the recommended work with SRI.
 MG Stubblebine felt that end-of-year funds could be used to make up the difference.
 5.  (U)  MG Stubblebine reviewed some of the customer evaluations that we have
 received.  He expressed the thought that the evaluations were a clear indication
 that we were on to something and that work in this area had to continue and be
 fully supported. (Evaluations are on file in this office)

 6.  (U)  I outlined our current plans for bringing new personnel on board and
 what we had already done in this regard..  The CC fully supported our ideas.
 BG Flynn concurred, but reminded all that full-time strength cannot exceed
 current task force level (i.e.-9 people).
 7.  (U)  CC expressed strong interest in some of our OPSEC work and wants us
 to continue work in that area.
 8.  (U)_ COL (P) Weinstein recommended that we consider training techniques
 that involved work with names of individuals and places.
 9.  (U)  The CG voiced strong support for the program and stressed that we keep
 him informed of progress and of any problems we encounter.  Meeting adjourned
 at 1730 hours.

 1.  General
 The objectives of this effort are as follows:
 (1)   Continue investigations and other efforts that will
 provide more accurate and more reliable remote viewings.
 (2)   Continue to observe, evaluate and report findings of
 foreign psi research.
 (3)   Continue investigating countermeasures to remote viewing
 and other psi phenomena.
 (4)   Assess the optimum utilization and application of
 remote viewing and other psi phenomena to intelligence
 functions.
 2.0     Specific Tasks  (FY'82)
 2.1   Bring remote viewing abilities of at least three individuals to
 a point where data are at least 60% accurate.
 2.1.1  Demonstrate the 60% accuracy, at the close of the year, on a
 series of real operational targets.
 2.1.2  Evaluate foreign literature and assess how close other nations
 are to having a remote viewing capability.
 2.2  Review and evaluate all foreign research on psi and prepare a
 series of reports on the capabilities of the leading nations.

 2.2.1  Evaluate the credibility of foreign psi and report that which
 is real and that which is only claimed but cannot be verified.
 2.2.2   Give particular attention to those developments in foreign
 psi work that show applications potential and which have potential for use
 by the military and/or intelligence communities.
 '2.3.   Examine potential  countermeasure to psi phenomena.
 '2.3.1   Remote viewing seems to have the most immediate value as an
 intelligence tool.   It should, therefore, be given the highest priority
 in searching for methods blocking its application and neutralizing it as
 a collection tool.
 12.3.2  The countermeasure tool will be demonstrated at the close of
 "2.3.3  Iniatiate investigations of countermeasures to other selected
 2.4  Prepare a report that matches intelligence functions with psi
 phenomena (i.e., which intelligence function can benefit from which psi
 ability).
 /2.5 Develop computerized data system and input all psi data derived
 by contractor and when available that derived by other psi data generating
 orgazinations.

 2.5.1   This data base will be used to do the following ~a'sk.
 2.5.1.2  Determine the extent that specific variables have on psi
 functioning.
 2.5.1.3  Determine which viewers should do which targets at what time.
 2.5.1.4  Permit other questions that would affect the operational
 application of RV to be answered before a session begins.
 2.5.1.5  The data should have maximum manipulability to serve the
 needs of personnel involved in RV enhance, applying RV to
 operational task and those looking for potential counter-
 measures.
 2.5.2  Data concerning foreign efforts should also be in this system
 and will be used to assess their current capabilities and trends in their
 work.
 2.6   Conduct experiments in PK that will establish the extent to which
 this phenomena is a threat to the U.S. military structure.
 2.6.1  Only basic efforts are intended in this initial work.
 2.6.2  Validity of claims in foreign PK work should be examined.
 2.6.3  Recommend which aspects of PK should be further investigated
 in follow-on years. .
 2.7   Throughout the contract year the sponsor will provide the
 opportunity for doing remote viewing of real operational targets.   This
 will serve two purposes; to gain needed intelligence and to provide a measure
 of the success of the reliability enhancement program.

 2.8   It is anticipated that during the contract period there will be
 quick reaction tasks approval by the Grill Flame Committee, passed through
 the COTR and levied on the contractor.   These will be of high priority and
 will require prompt attention.
 3.     Security Requirements
 It is expected that a maximum of six SI/SAO billets will be required
 to properly support the program.   If and when SRI International commences
 work on operational situations, it is required that all personnel connected
 with operational matters possess the necessary clearances.
 4.     Deliverables
 The contractor shall provide the following.
 4.1  Quarterly reports that will highlight accomplishments and resources
 e_
 expended during the quarter will be prepared and given to the COTR.   These
 reports will then display the work accomplished and funds expended on the
 entire project and each of its sub-projects.   The quarterly report will
 thus provide the sponsors a current status of each of the task in the project.
 4.2  Additional specific reports.
 4.2.1  Evaluation of foreign RV capability.
 4.2.2  Potential countermeasures to psi phenomena (not including RV).
 4.2.3  Series of reports on foreign psi capability.
 4.2;4  Intelligence functions and psi.

 be held at the end of each quarter.   The contractor shall furnish copies of
 informal charts, viewgraphs and other aids as may be needed.   The informal
 briefings shall consist of a contractor presentation and informal discussion
 among contractor, funding agencies and other government personnel as appropriate.
 4.5  Quick reaction reports as required by the COTR.   They will be of
 limited scope and deal with subjects of especially high interest and/or
 critical timeliness.
