Opinion that it is of groat importance for the members of my staff to busy
themselves during the next six months with the evaluation of the information
which they have obtained and the completion of the reports based upon it.
During the-same period, me will be engeued in planning the nnxt step in

evaluation of significant members of other moieties now under Gonnuetat

with the development of methods of evaluation and assessment. Our next project
should get underway so-ave tine after the first of next year, and the details
will have been worked out well in advanCo of this date. The zecompanyJ,ng budget .
is based upon a plan of activities as outlined above.
The present stage of projo4 In brain fumtion will have been
completed by Jr) 1, 1 S and at that time Dr. rill Se transferred

Definitions:
"Defection" is defined as the conscious breach of
allegiance or duty to a value system, cause, person, ideology,
philosophy or organi4ation, replaced by a willinoess to actively
support systems, etc., which are antagonistic to Inc position'
previously held.
To "systematically study" refers to (a) the assembling
and evaluating as much as possible of the pertinent information
en the subject of defection viewed as an historical, sociological
and psychological phenomenon; (o) examining a sample of
known defectors and known resistors according to predetermined
methods (medical, psychiatric, sociological and psychological);
(c) systematically and objectively recording the results of such
examinations; and (d) collating and evaluating the data obtained
-in order to determine significant diCferences, isolate important
characteristics and test comp?,rative methods for determining
these differences and characteristics.
3. Status: A working group, primarily composed of professionals
formerly engaged in the "Brainwashing" and "Chinese Cultural"
studies has been formed. Much of the material already col-
lected in these studies has applicability to the proposed study
outlined above. This group has prepared a plan of action and tbey
are ready to begin operation whenever requested. n major part
of the study can be completed in one year.
