6 SUBJECT : Proposed External Research Project with
1. Attached is a proposal for subject project. It will be
noted that the forwarding letter to the Projects Review Committee
has the concurrence of the interested offices, although
have not given it their unqualified approval.
2. This is not the solution to the interrogation problem
but is merely the development of an additional device along the
way. It is straight research and we should be prepared'to accept
the fact that it may not result in a useable device. There are
other aspects to this device which have ,a potential in covert
operations. These are not mentioned in the proposal but can be
developed if this project is implemented.
3. If you approve of this project will you please return the
papers indicating the concurrence of Deputy-Director (Plans) in
order that we may arrange for Projects Review Committee approval?
