Certain key personnel have already been cleared and steps taken to formally establish the cover [...] upon approval of this project. A progressive plan has been worked out for initiating the activities of the cover [...]. These activities have been broken down into five separate research projects under the direction of the [...]. A brief description of these research projects and an estimated date of commencement follows: (see attachment C for additional details)
1. Study of [...], 1 October 1954
2. Effect of Chemical Agents on Bodily Functions, Mentation and Attitudes, 1 September 1954
3. Other Factors Effecting Behavior, Mentation, and Attitudes, 1 October 1954.
4. Methods of Assessing Behavior, Motivation, Attitude and Adaptive Capacities, immediately upon approval of the project.
5. Consultative Service for Relevant Agency Problems; Special Services, immediately upon approval of the project.
