tE 1ORANI'3UM FOR THE RECORD
I attended a briefing yesterday on the subject of drugs as an
r? id to interrogation. The following was gleaned from the rather
prolonged intra-professional exchange.
1. There are no known "brain-washing" drugs.
2. If the interrogator wishes to "break" the sub-
ject completely, drugs will speed the process, but
roust be used in conjunction with physical and mental
abuse.
.3. There may be some value in pre-exposing; personnel
subject to capture to a hallucinageni.c agent so that
they will be better prepared for its profound effects
if used on them in a future situation.
'a. Recommendation: That Medical Staff be asked to
comment on the value of pre-exposure of our drivers
to hailucinagenic agents.
