MEMORANDUM FOR:
Subject
: Proposed Project
74 ).-7
1. Until quite recently intelligence collection has been largely
based upon conventional methods which include the use of covert agent
nets, military attache reporting, diplomatic reporting, exploitation
and
of press, exploitation of radio broadcasts,/exploitation of foreign
specialized and trade publication. During and since the war, the
resources of private individuals and of U. S. institutions and
industrial enterprises have been tapped. Also, certain scientific
methods including such things as noise listening, etc., have been
put to profitable collection use.
2. While all these means have been profitable in varying degrees,
it is quite possible that there are other scientific and technical
methods for collecting information which are now possible, but which
are not being used. A study which would survey present methods might
isolate others which could be used to increase our flow of information.
