equipment) and is designed as preparation for the Gateway Program
at M.I.A.S. (see below).
b. (C) The "Discovery" series will serve as a screening
tool to determine those of our people who can best be helped by
continuing the Monroe training.
c.e (S/NOFORN) Use of the "Discovery" series in training our
more advanced people (Joe, Hart, Fern) is the next step in their
training and will improve their performance operationally by pro-
viding them with the tools/techniques to relax, concentrate and
focus on. the desired target.
d. (U) Use of the "Discovery" series in training will
improve morale. of personnel as it will give the advanced people
something they have been promised and give the beginners something
to look forward to.

training and will fulfill the second phase of the enhanced
relaxation/concentration program I have been recommending. I have
been through the Gateway. program for the expressed purpose of
