2.
-primary reason for-the necessity of conducting a _
further studyoftheserebagece lies in the fact that those people _
who were. aitW., ..tt_ithei-USi after -the
made up a highly
selected group BeUseiioriitheiiioimtgrationrestrictions, this-group
consisted of the western-tied rightist elements wilo had never been
accepted comnletply in-the-presen ociety. As such they
spent their lives-being-discriminated-against and suspected by
the commanists in their own country. Knowledge of such individuals
-
can contribute little_toward_aniunderstanding of the dynamics of ,the

cross section-of7the

Consisted of a
lation and as such-
ists who bad-become disillusioned -with the
t who still have a basic stike in the
eventual conversion of thtir native country to a more acceptable
political status. In short these are the people who: are-basieally
interesting .the will produce the patriots-who will
return t
way or another.
COntiiiiie-the-Str4gle against- communism-in-one-
as been consulted on this matter and the_ -
people concernea7have-indicated-that they regard-it as an-important
research a ojeIiiThey also pointed out that they had-been asked-by
the to supply any possible h 1p that they can in con-
. -0:'
05nection with_the Waspects of the liVingii
Any such infortation turned up in the project could_very-easil -be-
.
made available forthis-purpose.
I. A further and very important aspect of this subproject is
the fact that it will-provide an entree into-one-of the foremost
ychological research centers. Such a connection
has manifold cover and testing possibilMes as well as-providing a
base from vhichlto_takc aavantage of developments in that area-of the
world.
