3. There is on hind in the U.S. a considerable timid of 3avist scientific
literature pertinent to missiles and related fields that has thus far
been only lightly eaploit.d, and that has oat bens specifically
rotrieaed in the light of post-*utnik evaluations of Wrist arils
capabilities. It, is very likely that a its?d?~daof-bsndaight
review of this literature would answer some boy qmations about 3av1At
missile developments and call attention to leads worth folloiing up by
other means. The gain roadblock to such a review is tin shortage of
Russian readmars. This problem eight be dented# if sat solved,, by

effort could be directed mainly toward finding the higbWads ore and
bringing it to the attention of Rusaian-rsading adssile sWerts.
Although a largs..oale literature review effort would be rather costly,
it could obviate the use of some rash apd still more costly techniques.
4. It is probable that the Soviets have shot such nation picture film of
missile oonatruotion, launching* and related activities, and that in
their haste to exploit the propaganda advantages of Sputnik success
so= of this film was inadequately censored and/or oar.lessly distributed.
Thus, it would seem worthwhile to divert considerable procurement
attention to film libraries (.specially in the Satellite countries)
5, Use hypnosis and wind reading teohniques to extract information from
Soviet s3Worts in missiles and related fields when they attend
international scientific oonferenws. It is difficult to believe, but
at least one authority in the field of hypnosis elaias that extracting
of the t envisaged here can be dons without the subject being aware
of it. 25X1 X6pr
