Activity l

Study of AlionF

l. As soon as possible we shall begin to assomble, roview and assimllate tho availablo information relating to the culture and social structuro of tho peoplo to provide us vith the necessary background and lnowlorge fdr dealing with the alicn ith whom we shall work. We shall try to identify thcce social payc'ological forces and culturalpn ttoms which are boing utllized by tho Conmunists and which represent their strength We shall also try to identify thoso forces wiich are being combattod by the Communisto and wich reprosent their potential weakmoso.

In order to do this we need accesa to all relevant inforution on these subjects possessed by tho Agoncy including the sorviccs of kovledgeablo Agancy specialists. we also intend to draw upon othor sourcca of infornation such as cultural anthropolggiatgwgociological and antluropological atudy rroupa, (e.8.

Fand the and persons having spocial koaledre of thd. pcople by virtue of birth, residohce or expcrience. We have access to and shall exploit scientists interested in these fields, sono of wom havo worked in our Department in the past. We shall uso then as'consultants or full tine partiçipentá as required. Wio shnll expand our contacts into every ficld whioh represants a potential of information pertinent to our needs.

2. As this informatlon is asslmilated by our staff, it will bo used as a basis for a gencral undergtanding, of tic attitudes, bahayior patterns, cuotons, values and motivations comon to tho people and thereforo also comon to tho group of hlicns whon we shall study individunlly. This cencral study or 3 culture and-cociat structua wlboa contiuactiyitlocical assessmcnt. of individual Paliens.

would bo considered a normal roscarch activity on our part because thore is presontly underay a study of a proup of Amigrants. We will sutmit a Bill of Farticulars to the Agency giving the Requirements for selccting such individuals wog we wish to atudy. We will require hel in locat ing dhese. aliens and will roly on the serviocs of the in procuring desireablo candidates. As theso candidates tecone available, and as a part of the intorviewing procedures, they will be asked to cooperate in an assessmont of their "montal and physical health" and the effect thich tholr experiences have had upon thiom. This will involve a nunor of intensive poychiatric interviews and tho application of psychologicel andphysical toste,

4 Fran this survey we hopo to identify somo agent candidates of hth potiniate inper antivil r tn an opportunity B order to enahle them to do so, some of thcm will te given short "fellowshipst providing a battor incomo than that wich the subjocts wero receiving they will be asked to perforn dutics con-. sistent with their abilitios and training, and will be trcated with digity, rcspect and kindly understanding. At tho aame time, they will bo asked to participato in further intensive interviews end ps cholorical tests. They will also bo expcsed to testing and "stross producing" situations toth in the laboratory and in daily life. The effect of this will bo to uncover. thoir peroonallty patterns, past conditioning and preoent motivations and provide us with an indication of their probable future perfoinance in various situations. Through this intensive testing we will dovelop a thorough lnowledgo of our Subjects and hopc to find come persons, who by virtue of their background and conditioning have the rorsonzlity and charactor of good highlevel long renge agents (soe Activity /L), and whoalso can bo expocted to find tho philosophy and practices of tho Communists strongly opposed to coro of thoir basto drives and: motivationg. We will further cxtend the period of "Tellowship" to such subjects and will utilize the rethols and information developed wnder activity '3 (q.v.) to play upon tho lnowm poychological forces at work within theso people in ordcr to mako them becoptivo to recruitmont by our intelligonce seryice.

5. The recruitrent of these indiviluals wlll bacarried out by B Agcncy personnel not assoclated with the cut tho

[PAGE 3]
approach to these Subjecta and thcir subsequent minagement as intelligence ngonts uill be ruided by óur knowlede ofcach agent's personality and chnracter struciiue with full recoanition of his arcas of susceptibility, strcngths and vealnossos. We, therefore, expect thit aolccted Case Officers, who will bo assiged to the recruitment, developnent, and managenent of agents processed through this program, will participate in tho and recoive instruction in those methods pertinent to their assigod operatlonal. duties.

6. Thiese intelligcnce agents, once rcoruited, willito civen the advantage of all of our teclunical kcvledge and nethods wthich will assist them to withstand the "interfoation,"'braimvashing" and counter cspionaro activitiap to wiich they will to exposed once they return to Comnunist (8ce Activities #2 and #3).

7. Contingont upon the avallability'of a clenrod ctaff and a secure aixi adequate facllity, wa aro prerared to initiato the interview and assessment of alion, candidates and the selection of those for our "Fellowsitipo." The initial survey of interviows and testing will occupy only a few days of each candidatelastime. Thissurvey program willbe a continuing activity of oum B

As sntisfactory cmndidates are uncovered, they will te otfered initial "Fellows'iins" of 3 to 6 months' duratlon; extensions willibe for.3 to 6 month intervals. Cindidates who havo nat all requirements shoüld bo ready for recriitrent as intolligence agents in approxintcly 9 months to l ycar aftor initial 'contact with tho

Activity #2

Effects of Chemical Agents on To lily Functions, lentation, Attitude, Etc.

Our latoratory at the is already set up for psychological, neurological and phanmacological studios on hmans. Such studies are bain, carried on at this tine using. pationts as gubjeots. All patients refarred to are uniitting of real interest on our part. Such patient-subjocts vill bo available for thoso studics made by the under Activity #2 wilch will not involve harm to the cubjeots. A staff of nourologists, neurosurgoons, peychiatrists, and psychologlsts is evailoble and ready to bo assigned to thóso invostigations as soon as socurity clearance is granted

2. Becanso studics of the effects ol drurs ant brain danaçe, ctc., in humans have bern limited by laek of understandin; of the hichcst integrative functions of the brain as well as ty lack of definitivo nethxdsof testing these fwetions, the study of the mechanigns involved in thouht, cnotion, bohavior conditioning und memory will. bo tho overt aspect of this activity as well as an integral part of tho covort study. In developing tho methods for uso in this study we intand to draw upon all the open recources of neuroloiy and psycholocy to whicl we have wido access. We are already encaged in canvassins major centers of rescarch fer young seicntists of tho highest celibenr w:o can to assigncd to the task: of developing new methods of studying brain function. 1

3. Weialso roqufre acoess to all of the accuulated information of tho Agency in this field. We wish to begin to review tho ARTICiOKE proram as soon as possible.

l. We are nou gatting; up a battery of the bcst of the known tosting procedures for theso higer brain functlons and have assigned members of our staff to tegin the investication of persons with normel bralns, persens with pa;chological disorders end various forms of brain damage, and persons under the influcnce of openly available drugs affedting brain function.

5. Fotentislly vsetul secvet diugs (and various brain danaging procedures) will te similarly tosted in order to ascortain their fundaventol offect upon brain function and upon the subjedt's mood, thought, behavior conditioning, memory rnd eposch roehanisns. As those diugs are investignted, a concurrent search for antidotes or counter measures will be conducted. Whcre ány: of ti:ege studies involve potential harnt to tho subject, o expect t'e Agency to make availablo suitable cubjecis and a proper place Cor tic porfoimance of necessary oxpcrimonts.

6. Wien drugs, after initial study appear to have usoful poteutialities for o fensive and/or dofensive intelligence orerations, we chell test them by laboratory experinents designed to reproduce tie actual cpuration-l oituations in which they will to used In desiing and exccuting theso exoriaents we exp'ct to havo the advice and assistance of qualified Ageney perooindl. io will-also help dosign and participato in Field trials of theso drugs.

7. As new infornation is accumlated about the findanontal action of drugs upon the brain, ie hope to bo able to mako nluable sug festions regarling: thio dovlopment of new drugs:and new uoos for presently larm drugs applicable to tho offenaive and defensive aspccts of intelligonce operations.

Other Factors Affectin- Fchavior,lientation, Attitude, etc.

l. This aotivity is primarily concorned with tho problons of how a man can be made to think, "feol" and lohave according to the, wishes of other mon, and, convorsely, hw a man can avoid being influenced in this manner. The many kmowm proceoscs by wich this may re effected can be divided arbitrarily into two àategorlcst (A) the cultural and sociel procoases (e.C., customs, education, military trainin,, parental training in childhood) wliich oporate on men in roups as well as singly, and (B) tho "spcclal procedures" (e.., psychotherapy, "salosmanship," doprivations, cocrcion, torture and hypnosis) wiich are dirccted at individuals. Both types of process are pertincnt to intelligence operations, but the "social and cultural" processcs are more relcvant to indoctrination and motivation, while tho "spccial proceduros" ara more relevant to subversion, seduction and intorrogation.

2. The primary mental processes which tako place in response to allof thesc mthods of ohanpiny human behavior are. probably the same. We plan to assemble, collate and review ali the pertinont information rolevant to this subject. This will roquire a broad considoration of many fields of human activity on a long term and continuing bagis. As an initlal effort yo intend to util1ze

二 consultant in designing, this project. As basic information is asslnilated by our staff, we shall degirn mothods and techniques of indcctrination applicable to spccial intolli;cnce problems.

3. Speclal Procedures of immediate concorn for intellirence operations will be reviewed and investigatcd. For this purpose wo need access to all Agoncy informatlon rolatin., to methods of cubversion, intimidation and interrogation employed by intollicence servicos, including threats, coercion, inprisonènt, isolation, deprivatlon, humiliation, torture, "brain wasiring," "black paychiatry," hypnosis and combinatlons of these with or without chemical agents. We wlll assomble, collate, analyso and assinilate this information and will thcn undortake oxperimental investigations designed to dovelop new tochniques of offensive/defensivo intelligonce use. 1

L. The Field Denonstration of hypnotio offects now boing implemented is an exanple of an experimental investigation of a "special procodure." Its design and purpose has boen sot forth in a

Aotivity W3

[PAGE 6]
specific papor. Ve will actively participate in all phascs of thiis dononstration. It is desiined to provlde specific answors to tho following qucstions in the light of our prosent kmorledge and toainiques of hypnoais:

(1) Can thee hypnotized?

(2) Wat percontage oare susceptiblo to hypmnosis?

(3) How complete is post-hypnotic amcsia and its degrce of permanency?

(4) What is the effectlveness of poot-hypnotic suggestion and its degroe of pormanency?

(5) Can an individual bo máde to perform ncts contrary to his conocious will?

(6) Can hypnotic influonce be detectod?

(7) What is the effectiveness of chcmical agonts in hypnotic proccdures?

We will;critically axamine all data, findings and resulta"of this Field Domonstration in ordor to asscss tho pregent effcctiveness and dofieiency of hypnotic procodures as an offensive and/or defensive intelligence wcapon. 1

Activity #h

Nethods of Assessing Bchavior, lotivation, Attitudo, and Adaptive Capacities

l. To implorent this Activity we will evaluate the.eflcctiveness ofall ps:cholo:ical testin and interviewin procoduregused in tho asscssnent of men and their futuro porformance with copecial emphasis upon their application to intelligence servico persor:el. Were possible we will design and develop new procodures to meet our roquirenente.

2. We will. therefore roquire access to the pertinent filo infor mation on both succossful and unsuccesatul intclligence agents so that we may analyse the factors which have been rosponslble for theis success or failure. We also requirs accoss to information, whother in agency filos, oprational librarlcs and published downents rolating to the total concept of intollirence, treagon or cownter-intellicence. Wo wlll uso this material for cur opcrational research and orientatlon in the aubject of espionage
