olygraph Program Proposal
b r 1963
1. Polygraph testing of the personnel in USIB Member Organizations
could be implemented within a six to eight week period after initial selec-
tion of personnel and office space allocation. It is proposed that this program
be under the immediate supervision of the CIA program and evolve under the
present IRD structure so that by utilizing the present superstructure and
present office space now in use by CIA, this much expense could be avoided
in duplication. The additions to the present staff necessary to implement
this program would be integrated into IRD as a parallel organization under
the USIB Security Officer.
2. The following proposals for this program are made:
LOCATION: - The office space allocated to be in or as
near to Headquarters Building as possible

PERSONNEL SELEcTION: - To be furnished by USIB Member
Organizations and/or recruited on behalf of USIB by the CIA
Office of Personnel. Final determination as to the utiliza-
tion of personnel would be made by a Board of Interrogation
Specialists after a thorough review of qualifications (similar
to those in effect at CIA with the exception of language
capability) and after a personal interview.
TRAINING: - CIA staff members would conduct the training
of all USIB Interrogation Specialists. The course would be
for four weeks covering ethics, polygraph interrogation
techniques, chart interpretation, administration, and report
writing. It is contemplated that eight students could be
accommodated in present IRD facilities, A second course
of eight men would commence a week later and the third
course of eight men would commence after another week
(providing space is available).

Thus, in six weeks, after the initial course, a total of 24
Interrogation Specialists could be on-the-line.
OFF PA With an addition of 24 Interrogation
Spec to, 24 new interrogation rooms would be necessary.
Also, recording facilities and a vault area. The use of
microfilm is envisioned, thus only a small vault area would
be necessary.
3. The appraisal of information obtained by the use of polygraph
would be made by the Subject's parent organization using criteria
established under EO 10450 as a basis for the approval or disapproval
of these individuals. This would set polygraph up as a fact finder only.
The polygraph reports, after appraisal, would be returned to the central
storage vault for safekeeping and released only to qualified personnel
in any future actions.
