l. The writer bnas examined the attache decwient and is of the impression that it may possibly be of considerable valuo to our ARTIChOKE work. Since the docunent dirocts that the iledical Office is to set up turo qualified teams, one in the  rand one in to do psychiatric work in nental casos, it scems obvious to mo that in addlition to their duties connected with this document, these teans ceuld very well handle the ARTICHOkE work. The teams are to be placed exactly vhere we would wvant them and if they are to be sent from Washington, they could very easily be briefed on ARTICilOkE beforc they 5o to their posts of assignment.

2. It is the uriter's opinion that these modical teans certainly uill not have a full-time job handling mental cases for this Agency and since they will either be psychiatrists nr doctors having considerable expsrience in mental problens, they will be ideally suited for the ARTICHOKE tyre of operations.

3. It is. respcctfully surgested that this natter bo discussed witie and possiblye as a simplo solution to one of our very pressing probiems.
