important by-products are also to be expected, sucli. as: better debriefing techniques, speedier briefing and assimilation of instructions, greater. security safeguarls, and above all a letter orking understanding of the individual human organisism that is the agent.

The current Agency program doaling with these subjects, known as ARTICllKE, by virtue of the extrerc sensitivity of to techniques and substances employed las been kept on the strictcst need to know basis. A prograr which this project proposes will involve similar techniques and substances as well as operations and expérinentation of ah even more sensitive nature. For this reason and also. for the protection of the proposed panel of consultants selected on the basis of their emincnce in the fields of medicine, psychology and related ficlds, it is bolieved that knowledge of this projoct should be confined on the strictest basis and that nomal staffing procedures should be streamlined to include only those key persons within the Agency having a direct responsibility for a project of this nature.

: In view of the ARTICHoKE responsibility resting in, the Office of
Security aud in view of the special operational requirenents of the
Bivision, this project is presented jointiy through these tuo offices.

3. PURTOSE

The purpose of this Project is to securely exploit, along opcratienal lincs,.scientific methods and krowledge. that can he util:zed in altoring the attitudes, beliefs, thought processes, and behavior pattefns of agent personnel. This will incluua the application of tested psychiatric and psychologicàl techniqucs including, the use of hypnosis in conjunction with drugs.

h. PACKCTCUT

luring the past several years CIA has expcnded considcrahla tize and effort on research and expcrimentation within the frarework of the ARTICOISE progran in order to ascertain the feasibility of applying certain scientifie-techniques and theories to opcrational problens and situations. This profraa has primarily been concerned.with the defensive aspect of protecting CIA personnel and assets from eneny services erploying similar techniques, and the utilization of these techniques in interrogation and offensive situations. Parallel to the ARTICHKi Prigram, ivision has been engaged in limited research and training in the aforementiqned scientific flelis with a view towards cmploying these techniques in Positive Intelligtnce, Counter Espionage and Political/Psychiological operations in the There has bcen a fres exchange of information betwecn CIA personnel of subjects of mutual interest in these fields.
