1. INTROTUCTION

As a result of several years effort devoted primarily to attempts at penetration of denied areas through various hlack techniques, the Agency 1 has concluded that the vehicle or legal travel offers greater opportunities to place controlled agents within denied areas. In addition, far greater emphasis must and will be placed in the future upon long range agent operations, and pcnetration of key Commnist organizations.

It is well known, particularly in the case o,

ry especially those that are to be intergrated into the ommunist structure, undergo a course of indoctrination (Brain
Kashing) that has proven singularly effective. Clearly therefore, this
indoctrination presents a ssrious threat to the motivation of óur agents.
Further, in the case of long range operations, lapse of time alone will
erode motivation. There is therefore, the im:ediate requirerent for
the development of every technique that can be deviscd to precondition
the agent mind and to create within him a viable and long lasting motivation
impervious to lapse of time and direct psychological attacks by the enemy.

Curvent research and opcrations within a limited field have indicated that techniques do exist that, in the opinion of those most versod in the suhject, are capabie of greater development within the ficlds of agent asoessnent, preconditioning and motivation. The txtent to wliich those techniques arecapable of neeting the above described rcquirements is.. presently unknown, but it is believed that at least a significant advance in the overall technique of egent handling may be anticipated.
