MEMORANDUM FOR:
SUBJECT: Article on "Hard-Target Recruitments"
1. I have reviewed your draft article on "Hard-Target
Recruitments" and appreciate your sending it to me. The
article discusses a subject I consider most important and
in which I have long been personally interested and active.
I believe that there is need for concerted long-term research
and development in the HUMINT hard-target recruitment field
--distilling and exploiting the vast but unassembled experi-
ence we already have and seeking from that base the new
insights we need for the years ahead.
2. I have no objection to your mentioning the Human
Sources Committee in your draft. As to stimulating the
research we desire, I look forward to receiving your HSC
R&D Task Team report which I understand will include this
subject as a major element. I will welcome your specific
suggestions as to how the HSC can best support R1D for
improved effectiveness of HUMINT activity.
