These broad problens; using know SI and H techniques, pay be classified as follows: 5 . 4, Can accurate informtion be obtained from willing er unwilling individuals, - ' E, Can Agencx.personnel (or persons of interest to this agency) be conditioned to prevent dny outside pover from obtaining inforration from then by any mown means? = ¢ C, Gan we obtain control of the future activities (phyaicad and mental) of any given inSividual, willing or umvilling ty application of SI * and H techniques?, _ D, Can we prevent any outside power from gaining control of future activities (physical ané-menlal) of agency personnel by any kno: ans Bluebird. believes that & (aboxe) can be answered in the affi using SI ond H techniques, Bluebird As not fuldy satisfied vith results to date, Dut belicves with“continued wor!. and study romarkalle and profitable results eon be obtained repularly. Hovever, By C, and D (above) a: as yet unanswereable although Eluebird is of the opinion that there is a worthwhile chance that all three my at sone 4 future date be answered affirmtively. This opinion ic sunported gencrallyby mmerous individurls having knowledzo of there techniques and by much literature and intelligence in this field, Since an offirmative proof of 5, C and D vould be of incredible value ‘to this agency Bluebird's general problen is to set up, conduct and earry out 4 research (practical ~ pot theoretical) in this direction, Set out below is one. specific proposal nimed at- achieving our onds as rapidly as possible and with « maximun of sedurity, Through Anternal ngency channels, Divebird vas’ given the rane iz HERBY ©» sraivicusn tM Pe trection nia not» citizen of the united states who had been given certain operntional security cleorance, EEE: reported to have done considerable work in SI and H and to have an unusii’l and interesting general background, mm: also reported as being reliable, trustworthy, # known anti-Conmmnist, In view of the nbove, and on the instructions of the Director of 1455, MMMM wos brought toa safe area near hendquarters and interviowed, interrdgated and obsefved by Hlucbird on 19, 20 and 21 February 1951, : [eres “obility, intelligence, sincerity and anparent security Rindodnesswere impressive, Blwebird officers were umble to find any indications of Gersousness or prossofet interests during those obeerntiors, only apparent obvious wenknesses vere his foreign background and non-United States “citizenship, Cc 2 According (oN Fs torn Rs, aSERED ciscussca nt various times his work and interest in the SI ana 4H techniques, Me claimed that most. ef iz present work vas along the lines of hypotherapy which involves post-H cucgestion, but pdnitted that his experionee with drugs, caces, ete., th conjunction with ST rnd il was sonevhat linited, although he vos faniliar with much of the Literature (U.S, and foreign) 4n these ficlds, BIRR 212 that since he had been dn tle U.S. he ind indused H conditions dn at least several hundred individuls, male end felimle (in all ace groups) Ez Genonstrated successfully some of his operating methods before the B officers on the 19th, 20th and ‘ist. a For matter of record (MBE ® of B work and cautioned arainst all and any’ discussion outside concerning these natters.
