The problem exists of ascertaining whether effective and practical techniques exist, or could be devaloped, which could be utilized to ronder an individual subservient to an imposed will or control, therepy posing a potential threat to llational Security. Cqmplete effectiveness of such techniques would require the individuel to be aubsequently unaware of their use. Degree of effectiveness and practicality of utilizetion and protection and possibility of devising more effective means for utilizing and counteracting existing techniques should be explored.

It is believed essential that a study be made of the problem outlined above and that a repoit be prepared indicatingt

(a) All techniques and agents which may be applicable to this problem .. together with conment on degree of feasibility of utilization and-protection.

(b) In the case of techniques and agents which pose a potontial threat which cannot be completely evaluated on the basis of present . knowledge, recormendations be made relative to further promising rosearch. Such recommendations should include the scope and nature : : of required research and indicate research groups-where such .. investigations could be expeditiously undertaken. An estimate of the effort (man years and/or dollars) required is desirable for.. each project.
