In ordor to do this we need accesu to all rolevant information on these subjects possessed by tho Agoncy including the sorvices of kouledgcablo Agenoy spocialists. we algo intond to draw upon .othor sourcea of infornation cuch as cultural anthropologistaigociolorical and antluopological otudy croupa, (e.g.

Othor Factors Affectin- Fohavior, lientation, Attitude, etc.

1. This aotivity is primarily concorned vith tho probloms of how a ran can be made to think, "fool" and behave according to the wishes of other mon, and, convorsely, how a mn can avoid being influenced in this manner, The many kmoum proceoscs by wiich tiis may, he effected can to divided arbitrarlly into two eategoricgt (A) the cultural and social proceases (e.., custong, educntion, military trainin, parental training in childhood) wiich oporate on men in oups as well as aingly, and (D) tho "spcclai procedures" (e.., poychotherepy, "salosmanship," doprivatione, coorcion, torture and hypnosis) wiich aro dirccted at individuals. Both types of process are pertincnt to intellifence operations, but tho "social and cultural" processes are more relcvant to indoctrination and motivation, whlle tho "spccial proceduros" are nore relevant to subveraion, seduction and intorrogation

2. Thc prinary mental proceeses which takd place in response to all of thesc muthods of changin; hunan behavior are probably the same.He plan to assemble, collate and revlew ali tho pertinent information rolevant to thils subject. This wlll roqulre a broad considoration of many fields of human activity on a long tor and continuing bagis. As an initial effort ve intend to utilize

a c consultant in designin, this projoct. As basic information is assinilated by our atafr, we shall desirn nothods and teclniquos of indoctrinatlon applicabla to epeclal intolli;cnce probloms.

3. Special Procedures of immediate concorn for intellirence oporations will be reviewed and investigated. For this purpeso wo need access to all Agoncy information rolatin: to nothods of cubversion, intimidation and interrogation employed by intolligonca servicos, ineluding threats, coercion, inprisonént, isolation, deprivation, humiliation, torture, "brain wasiring," "black paychiatry," hypnosis and combinatlons of theso with or without chemical agents. Ve wlll aoscmble, collate, analyse and assimilate this infomation and will thcn umiortake experimental investigations designed to develop new toclniques of offensive/defensivo intelligonce use.
