6. The fourth major soction takes "p tho fact that individuals wder interrogation do often havo amesias or an unawaronoss for inforahtion thoy havo givon out. Brlofly, thoy discuss the following points:

Secret infornation may bo told outright and forgotton by the tellor through tho psychological process of ropression. again polnts out that chemical qgents wil often nake it easier to forget that ono has revealéd information.

They coment in this connoction 'that probably oquivalent rosults could be achioved by experts using sinpls techniquos of intorrogation as previausly montiond.

Tho group at this point in the report took up the matter of hypnosis and whether or not individuals will porfora acts against their will and thoreafter have no conory or the àat. points, out that makding ono act egainst one's will, particularly in tuch mattere as plosically repugnant acts, acts of vlolencc, acts of disloyalty, eto., could bo produced onlz in inatances of extreme rarity. The group obviously fecls that results fron hypmoois.cither to produce amnosis or to produçe acts of disloyaltyby loyal and patriotic dndividuals would be "nogligible".

7. Aftor considering the above tochnicoas and mothods in general teras, the group discussos,the possiblo uses or dasaging tho person. In general, does not feel that tho danaging of the individual, either through poisoning or ty surgical or othcr moans, is of groat value in that such daaaging nay destroy othcr valuatlo capacitios of the individual and rosults are at prosent unpredictable. é

S. The basic report-concludes vith a scction in vhich they hold that the bost mothods for corbating those techniquos aro:

1. Carcful screening of individuals ani studying thoir past activities.

2. A very caroful safeguarding of aecrot information. (Linit
