it I-M, To: Files Subject: SI and if Experimentation, 18 Se 9 (Operations-Room-and office o On Tuesday, 18 September 19 nd the writer c,an- S ents betw 9:00 Fl,'i wi"- n as subjects. For some time now, Dliiebird has '@,een interested-i4i experiments on the outsid(3 with SI inducted over the tcl@,plione. The writer's experiments along these lines have been universaliy successful and interesting results have been obtained, but testing along agency 2 lines, of-6ourse, was impossible for security reasons. It was, therefore, decided to begin a spr exl)eri and because of.the advanced Qapacities o -it was decided that they would be first used or this type of work. .Before--the actual exl)eritnents were begun, 'bot.--,,- and. I efed concerning the virious p6s3 5 re I-ri p:rese in e use of teleplione administered ')'I control. The discussion also involved the essential work of atileml)ting to obtain linormal" appearance for operation activi2ty. After considerable discussion, the following tests were run off: To determine basically whether or not a ii Uld be placed in the state of deen ')I @.nd th c one lirior@-nial manner, both girls were sent to the room of Extension@@ Each girl in turn was 2 called on the t lephone an placed in a deep trance state with instructions to maintain "normal" appearance. In each cas-, ftit- oth-?r girl acted as an observer, sitting opposite the girl receiving the telephone call. 'Each girl was then called on the telephone and placed in a deep trance state and instucted to maintain "normal"appearance, each was instructed to return to the Operations Room, bringing the other girl with them. Poth girls complied precisely and based upon their own observatipn r:po their manner a-nd apl)carance ,ias very iter li-stening on tiie tele- 2 nearly Inorlytal" CLLI" ULL@ r We ons and were able to detect only a very phonn during the fid@ @i- slight loss of volume in the voice of the subject during the pro- ceadings; otlierwi,-te, there was no apparent cliange in the conver- a4atioti. This test was regarded as successful. The second test involved a more complex method as follows: Each girl was placed In a deep 51 state in the Operations Rooiii. While under this control, ttiey were told that after they were iwake-,ned, tllfy would r)l,occ.(Ie t and from there they woi.ild receive ,i t,-!lc,,)honc cill from an in(iividual who would be a friend of theirs (fictitious nnties, of course., were used at this oint). This individi.til wou.Lci carry on a normal cori- p versat.Lon with t.h(- girl and intro(luci a cocie -,joT,d during the coti- versatioil. At this point, the subject -,4ou'.1.,J then piss frorti an 'laiak,@@" state to a stati 2of deep SI without Cilanging expression and ip!)Qarilig at Rll time@'3perfectl.y "nor-iial". Ther,--after, the girls wer,-- instructed to return to the I)t)er-itions Room and upon seatin[, t,heinselves on the so@at to immediately go into a complete sleep state. Again, in each case, each girl acted as an observer for the other girl.-4 This t,(,'sb was completely successful, The girls were called on the teleplion,! by the fictitious person and carried on a conversation. During the conversation, the code word was mentioned aiid, in each case, the girl receiving the telephone call, 2passed from an "awake" state to a complete deep traice rtate, maintaining their eyes ol)en and ap- pi-,aring "normal" tilrou@,rhout the conversation. 17;i.cli girl re-p-orted iinlir de- that the transition wa:-, cornpletely 2perfect ind would ci@rt, ceive anyone unless thgt. person was specificilly observinr, the c ch@in-es as the trince stat- wa.-, ind,.iced. Poth i @@t i-o n r minut and the writer again detected a minute chang? in the voll e"@t the voice of the subject receivinf7 th@@ call, but no in- terruption whitsoever to the general converoatioii @ias noticed. The girls were watched as they moved froilli rooi-.l t,o t-iie their wilkinr,,, f2iciai Operations Room and, for a matter of record, expression, etc. was perfectly norinii. Each girl, in turn, upon completion of the test and returning the the O@e rations Pooin, im- mediately passed in@o a deep state of sleep. The test has consider- abl!@-operational value since anyone-using th2e code worri or code could take control of a thoroughly ST conditioned suliject. Fur- thermore, to the casual observer or individuals about the subject being so induced ' it would be impossible to note that a transition had taken place. In conniction with the above, and t.o lay groundwork for tli@2-, evenin n t ,nf!

The final 2 experiment of the eveningi whic@i was desiftied to show operational value of this type of work, was.set up as follows: Poth- ?n ere -aLaced---in a.deed SI state in t e 0,,)erations Room Thereaf wa5--i nstructed post hypnotically as follows: 3 was told that slip would t the small room contiiiiinp, wi@w T'o e and seat herself at@.@@i@-c@iesk.
