SUBJECT: SI and H Experimentation, 17 November 1953.

On Tuesday, 17 November 1953, SI and H experimentation was carried gn in Building 13, Room 20 by Messrs. Fand using Misses and as subjects.

In view of the fact thst Miss : had only worked a few. times previously and this was Misk, ts first attendance, both of these girls were asked to act as observers only during .the first two tests.

The first test consisted of an experiment involving the
memorizing of a passage and the transmittal of same using.a code
word. Miss as first tried on the-test with Mr
using the initial induction. Miss ..was placed in a. deep
hypnotic condition and then told to open her eyes while asleep
and.study a technical passage from a book given to her by in about two or three minutes, memorized the passage and then while still under hypnosis was given instructions that she was to leave the room, proceed from that room to
room #3 in the Polygraph Section where she would enter and sit down. She was told there would be people in the room and that under no cirownstances woudl she recall the memoraized passage except if the code word "Medicine" was used. When and if the code word "Medicine" was used, she was at once to write the memoraized passage and go into a deep hypnotic sleep immediately thereafter. After these instructions were given, Mis inadeep bypnotic state, was sent to Room #3 by M and the two observers present then attempted by interrogation, promises, threats, etc. to get Mis to reveal the memorized passage which she would not do. or could not do. Mr. then gave the code word to Mis andMi wrote the fairly long passagealmost without error and passed into a deep hypnotic state.

then took control of Mis fand made her again open her eves and walk from room /3 back to the operations room and upon entering that room go to the sofesrdiedown and pas and for matter of record, it should be noted, shie had total amnesia for the entire performance. Thistotal amnesie was one of the main elements of the test and Misy. d received instructions all along the way in attaining a, total amnesia.

After Miss uicompleted the test, Mies was run on a similartest using a different passage and a different code word. Miss :... instead of beinghandled entirely under hypnosis was run on the test in a post-hypnotic state. When Miss . reached Room3 in a post-hypnotic state, she was questioned at length by Nr and the observers and had no memory whatsoever of the memorized passage. Then Mregave her the code word "neithert concealed in a sentence and Miss ...sawrote the memorized passage and passed into a deep sleep. M then sent Missback to the operations room where she went into a deep sleep.state.on the sofa as had Miss.It should be noted that Misshad no recollection whatsuever of the entire activity.

The second test of the evening was run again using Misse and Mish as the principals. Mrtook Mis to Room 3 and placed her in a deep hypnotic state. He then caused her to open her eyes and gave her instructions that she would remainasleep but carry out her instructions in a "normal" manner. Mrag then gave Miss tan envelope which he informed her contained highly confidential matter and asked her to conceal this paper very carefully on her person. He told M after she had concealed the paper, to carry it to the ladies room and go before the mirror and fix her hair.: She was instructed that another girl she did not know would enter and at some moment while in the ladies room, this person would was instructed that when this code was used she was to take this envelope from her person and hand it to the person immediately, leave the ladies room, return to Room 3, sit in the chair where she had been sitting and go into a decp sleep with a complete ammesia for this entire activity.

Pstarting with Mi in the operations room, placed her in a deep sleep and gave her the following instructions: she was to open her eyes and act normal, but remain deep asleep during the activity and was told to go to the ladies room, go to the mirror and fix her hair. She was told she would note a girl there whom she did not know who would also be fixing herhair. She was told to say to the other girl, "Do you happen to know where Mr. office is?" She was told the girl would give her an envelope or document. She was told she was to take the envelope and very carefully conceal it on her person. After she had concealed it, she was told to leave the ladies room and go to Room 23. She was told there would be a man she would not know in Room 23 and she was to engage him in conversation and if he asked her anything about a paper or envelope she would not be able to give any answer in thisconnection but she was told if anyone asked her, "Do you know she was to ask that person to go with her to the operations room, through the side door and after taking

this person into the operations room she wos to deliver the paper to him, go to the sofa, lie down and go to sleop and have tolal. amneoin for thlo entire activity.

After the times had been arranged, the entire activity was set in motion and was carried out by both girls without any hitch. The two observers; Mieg and Phe were placed in the ladies room end surreptitiously witnessed the passage of the concealed document from Mie MiS The writer, who was in room 23 tried to obtain information fromm when she entered the room, asking her many questions and receivilig only nonsense answers or general answers but was unable to obtain possession of the enyelope or facts pertainingato it. However,yhen the writer asked Miss, "Do you know at-once asked the writer to accompany her to the operations room where she gave the envelope to the writer and completed the irs tructions given to her by M

It should be noted that both of the above mentioned tests were
not discussed until approximately one hour later and at this point, the
writer explained the test to both girls. Even with details of the .
MiS could only remember very vaguelycertain minor incidents. After the conclusion of the teststhe writer explained briefly some
of the problems of the work to Mawand since it was her first
attendance at these seesions, the writer asked Mr. to run Miss on some simple suggestibility tests. Then Mr. tried a
slow induction with Misses and Mise obtained a
good sleep state and a very light sleep.Since at this time
it was approximately 9Lo0 FM, the writer concluded the evening's work.
