MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUEJECT:

C1. wes interviewed by on 18 April A to determine suitability for employment in CSI. Background on .ls as follows:

a. Homitiodress: C b. B H-Bl

2. iprincipally. concerned with the subject of "Pain." He in the physiological and instructg psychological aspects of pain and the means of coping with pain in future and patients.Healso conducts a number of interesting projects on the development and use of drugs in connection with pain. His approach to the research aspects of the subject is to determine the physiological causes of pain, the psychological aspects connected with this, and then to search for drugs or other jevices for countering pein. He does not believe in the theory that one should search the entire field of pharmacology and by trial and error arrive at drugs which will be effective for his purposes.

3. As far as availability for employment in CIA is concerned, would find it extremely cifficult to give up his present career and come with us on a permanent basis. He has a strong sense of obligation t.. Furthermore, he would want to continue his laboratory work were he to be employed here. These factors, coupleì with the fact that he has no previous background in intelligence or government work, rule him out in my opinion as a candidate for substantive intelligence work in the Medical Division, OSI.

4. However, there are possibrlities of his being used in connection with Project Artichoke. He has indicated that he might be available for full time employment from about l July until the middle of September, and four or five daye a month thereafter should we have need of his services. Also, he is in a position to undertake laboratory work at for us and would very much prefer an arrangement of this kind. He mentiohed that he is undertaking a basic reserrch project for about twenty drug firms in the U.S. along the lines of his interest. Included in this project will be an effort to learn the effectivencss of hypnosis in connection with pain. It might be rather easy to have mertake other rasearch in connection with this project without attrecting undue attention.

C upapers have been referred to for evaluation.
A vill give us an evaluation of the man on Monday, 21 April.
