L. rs bes becn conducting resszrch aimed at wnderstanding the coctral control systens of the hnman orgmies  es to aliov eveluation and ctrol of these systes, either in individuals or in groups. Altbougt this research progam bes boen sound end inginctive,it has not resultod in any aubstantiel improvement in the ClcndestineService operstional capabilities. A prineipal reccon for this ineffectiveness Ées been the Lack of a kay point in the S operatioral coplex effeetively to applr the rocults of this TSs resesrch to operational needsorto interpret theoperetional requirecents in the light of possible further TSS recearch.G

2. I i, therefore, assigning to Dr. to has. just returned from an operstional tour in the respanslbllity of looking into this rstter md reporting his findings tnd recoocendations to me. Dr. ill be attached to the tarl for the pariod ofthis asargent.

Ths exuinstion on a continuing basis of proposed and plannedoperations in ardur to sirt throngh thiscopler mass of msterial to find those points vhere a reseerch sttack might significastly increese CS operetional expabilities. It is envisioned that this scrutiny vill start fran & considoration of tha broadest s objectives arid include all the possible points of stteck from the level of the forulstion of these objectives to thédetailed operational actions that are nov being used or could caoceivebly be used to schieve thea.

Tis process of probies identification vill involve a detarmination first of those problens which can be partially solved by existing téchniques. he problens shich are not solvable by current techiques vill be sobaitted to external research mectanisus for a detarainstion of their feaoibility. If they ere proved fesoible, recearch programs vill be recoamendoi to tolve them.

e. The investigation ss to the proper guidance point within theCS for all the biological snd physical science ectivity mounted to satisfy CS needs, both frcm the stondpoint of the reseirch itzalf and also the application of such resezrch as opportunities develop.
