MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Grill Flame Update for DCG-I (BG FLYNN), 11 Apr 80
1. (U) On 11 April 1980, I provided an in-depth INSCOM Grill Flame
update briefing to BC Flynn. This briefing was given at the specific
request of BG Flynn. NOTE: COL Stern, DCSOPS, USAINSCOM, received his
initial orientation on the program at the same time. The following
personnel were in attendance:
BG FLYNN
COL STERN
LTC HAWES
LTC WATT
DCG-I, INSCOM
DCSOPS, INSCOM
XO, ADCSOPS-HUMINT, INSCOM
INSCOM GRILL FLAME Project Manager
2. (U) Inclosure 1 shows the outline of the briefing. The briefing
had been scheduled to last three hours, but due to other commitments,
8G. Flynn had to leave. after. two hours. I was able to. brief all items
of importance even though the time period was shortened.
3. (U) BG Flynn made the following observations/taskings:
a. Requested that we arrange for a program review to be et up
between the ACSI and CG, INSCOM sometime in the June/July time rame.
That this review should take stock of where we are in the program and
allow the ACSI/CG, INSCOM to give focus and direction to the program.
b. Stated that we should design and set up a training program.
This training program should be formalized so that we can orderly program
for replacements/additional personnel coming into our organization.
c. At the suggestion of COL Stern, it was directed that we look at
finding other TDA slots to put our personnel against. COL Stern pointed
out that there are numerous.TDA slots in the headquarters that are never
filled and probably never will be and that if we can put our personnel in
those slots then the various staff elements can put in requesition against
the ones we are currently filling.

d. Directed that'we try to be more flexible in regards to our
space requirements. BG Flynn felt that we should retook at the
possibility of using the interview rooms in the Special Operations area.
I explained to him our concern for safe-guarding the identity of our
personnel, but that I would look into the situation again and see if
something could be arranged until we moved into our new area.
e. BG Flynn directed that we have a signed statement from all
personnel that states their concurrence that all sessions are tape recorded
and that we do monitor most sessions from outside the rooms and that they
have no objections to either of the above conditions.
4. (U) BG Flynn expressed his confidence in the management of the program.
Directed that we continue as we have been, but to be sure that we keep
everyone informed.
