1. This activity is primarily concerned with to problems or hoist
a man can be made to think, "feel" and behave according to the,
wishes oC �then:men, and, oonvorselyj how a man cnn avoid being
influenced in this. manner. Tho many known processes by Vlich '
this may be effected can be divided arbitrarily into two ategor-
icst (A) the cultural and social procoasos (e.g., customs,
education, military traininl, parental 4air4nf7 in childhood)
which operate on men in g.oups as well aS sinEly, and (B) the
"special procedures" (e.g., psychotherapy, "salesmanship," depri-
vations, coercion, torture and hypnesis) witich are directed at
individuals. Both types of process are pertincnt to inteili-
rence operations, but the "social and cultural" processes are
more relevant to indoctrination and motivation, while the
"special procedures" are more relevant to subversion, seduction
and interrogation.
The primary mental processes which take place in response to
all of these methods of chanrinT; human behavior are, probably
the me." We plan to assemble, collate and review al the per-
tinent information relevant to this subject. This will require
a broad consideration of many fields of: human activity on a long .
term and contin ha is. As an init14 fo 1-0 into d to
chief
consultant in cosign project. 4s asic information is
assimilated by our staff, we shall desicn methods and techniques
of indoctrination applicable to special intelli;cnce problems.
3. Special Procedures of immediate concern for intellipenec opera-
tions will be reviewed and investigated. For this purpose we
need access to all Agency information relatin.'. to methods of sub-
version, intimidation and interrofl'atioin employcd,.by intellicence
services, including throats, coercion, imprisonnNlt, isolation,
deprivation, humiliation, torture, "brain wa&rinr,," "black.psy-
,'
chiatry," hypnosis and combinations oC these with or *ithout
chemical agents. We 411 assemble, collate, analyse and assimi-
late this information and will then undertakn experimental igvos-
tiations designed to develop new techniques of offensive/defen.,
sive intelligence use,

mented is an example of m experimental investigation of a "special
