OBJECTIVES AID AGENCIES.

1. The ultinate objective of BLUEBID operation is to obtain or protect information of vital significance to the security of the United smimeliiataen States.Nore cecicicer, the operation is concerned with interrogation where there is need for special methods to induce full disclosure.

2. BLUESIRD Operation will be inplcmented by operational and support personnel. This personnel will, however, not be used to obtain or protect infornation when other means are available.

3.The objective of  extensive support progran is to furnish the teans in the field with the best-available techniques and material; at the sane tine to enable them to guard against counterneasures. The support program will consist of both fundanental and applied research studying all means through which control of an individual may be attained.

l. A specific objective of this research is to develop an adequate body of scientific information froa thich certain questions in the area of interrogation and vital. to national defense can be ansvered. They are:

a. Can accurate infornation be obtained froa willing or unrillingindividuals?

b. Can agency personnel (or persons of interest to this agency) be conditioned to prevent any unauthorized source or enemy from obtaining infornation frou them by any knowm neans?

c. Can we obtain control of the future activities (physical and mental) of any individual, villing or unvilling, by application of SI and H techniques.

d. Can we prevent any unauthorized source or eneay froz gaining control of the future activities (physical and mental) of agency personnel (or persons of interest to the agency) by-any kmom neans?

The effort in these directions will be matched by coincidental study

directed toward the development of countermeasures. Fundanental research piojects will be included in the program but must assist in or yield 1 evidence relative to the ultimate developzent of sinple, effective methods which can pe used under field conditions.

5. The activities which will be carried out in orier to develop a sound operation will include:

a. The locating and collating of the information no in existence but scattered throughout nany agencies, libraries, universities, and research institutions.

b. The laying out of lines of research which will ultimately result in a current and comprehensive knovledge'of the subject.

c. The evaluation of this infornation.

RESEARCH TOPICS

1. Fron azong the Luiiea described below those deserving highest priority vill be selected and specific relevant research projects will be franed. These projects will then be contracted for with laboratories which may be governzental, industrial or institutional. In general, where portions can best be accomplished by a full-time employee of CLA, the work will be assigned to the Support Staff.
