Dear Dr.

Enclosed you will fnd a report of expenditures of monies received from the for the period July 1, 1955, to June 30, 1956.This report has been signed by both Dr.and myself.

The grant received from your organization was overexpended in the amount of \$442. 79 due to fulfillment of committments of a twelve-month salary agreement with technicians working on this project. Please advise me if it will be at all possible for this amount of overexpenditure to be approved. Your favorable consideration in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Once again I wish to apologize for the delay in submitting this informatión and I sincerely hope that it has not inconvenienced you too much.

There are some indications in the proposal of our findings from the present year. The formal-report-for-the-year's work will be submitted later in the spring-Under-the.circumstances I realize the importance of getting the proposal for the next fiscal year into the works.

Up to today I have been working-very-hard on my assigned investigation of Por problems for the-Air Force. Sone most interesting things have turned upin the process-of-this study, bearing upon potential research issues of:mutual interest to all concerned.

It is possible that I may be in Washington again in the very nearfuture. will know about it before I will; if you C want to see me, get in touch with him and find out whether the Surgeon General is g oing to be calling me up there next week.

Best personal regards.

[PAGE 8]
I. CONTINUATION OF STUDIES ON HYPNOSIS AND SUGGESTIBILITY

A. Prelininary clinical.research-during-l955-56 has yielded promisins leads in terms of knowledge of how hypnotizability can be influenced by pharmacological means. Several drugs have been identified that apparently are effective\_in\_speeding the induction of the hypnotic state, and in deepening the trance that can be produced in given subjects. These observations remain to be confirmed through studies of larger numbers.of normal subjects, and insofar as possible, quantified. Observations have also been made.of drugs that provide some degree of imaunity to hypnotic influence. These investigations also require considerable elaboration.

B. -It is proposed that the:experiments.begun during 1955-56 involving hýpnotizability, suggestibility, and the roles of certain drugs in altering these attributes, be continued and extended during. 1956-67.

II. NEW-STUDIES ON THE NATURE OF HYPNOSIS, SUGGESTIBILITY, AND TRANCE-LIKE STATES

A.·Experiments involving altered personality function as a result of environmental manipulation (chiefly sensory isolatiop) have yielded promising loads in terms of suggestibility and the production of trance-like states. There is reason to believe that environmental manipulations can affect the tendoncies for dissociative phenomena to occur. Isolation, in particular, can markedly change the individual's response to suggestion in the form of verbal communication.

B. It is proposed that new experiments utilizin special environmental WARNNG-NOTICLipulations, including sensory isolation, be begun with a view to-

Q

SRAOHWHEEEIGEHCE

[PAGE 9]
ward determining the ways in which the resultant psychophysiological alterations can\_be.quantified, and the ways in which these altered states.can be utilized.in the-production-of increased influenceability in normal subjects.

III.  NEW STUDIES OF. PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS AND REACTIONS TO 4 STRESS,EMPLOYING HYPNOTIC TECHNIQUES

l Current experiments have definitely established a number of ways in which hypnotic suggestions can bring about states of marked psychological.stress in suitable subjects, with resultant changes in neurophysiological-and-neuro-endocrinological function. It has also been shown in preliminary-studies that hypnotic methods can successfully be employed to protect individuals from the psychophysiological reactions to noxious stimulation. These observations constitute an indication that more control can be exerted over the autonomic nervous system than has been previously supposed. Coupled with the recent development of autonomic drugs of highly specific activity it is now possible to isolate more precisely than ever before the exact means by which and th? precise'degree to which psychophysiological reactions occur to specific types of stress.

B. It is proposed that the combined use of hyprotic techniques and autonomic drugs be exercised in initiating somo original studies on the nature of psychophysiological reactions to stress.

IV. TECHIICAL CONSIDERATIONS

All of the above-recomrended experimental procedures will require special equipment, special methodologies, and spccial skills. In order to make possible a continuing research program in this area, a psycho

[PAGE 10]
are available. However,within the overall framework of these faoilities. a unique laboratory.must be organized and constructed. This laboratory will.include a special chamber, in which all psychologically significant aspects of the environment can be controlled. This chamber will contain, among other things, a broad-spectrum polygraph for simultaneous recordings of a variety of psychophysiological reactions of the individual being studied.In this setting the various hypnotic, pharmacolcgic, and sansory-environmental variables will be manipulated in a controlled fashion and quantitative continuous recordings of the reactions of the experimental subjects will be made. Under these conditions, and with the utilization of the special skills of the research team, it-is expected that some significant original and valuable observations will be obtained.
