Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000700020001-4 ME11' QRANDu OR: Deputy Director for Science and Technology SUBJECT Clandestine Services Requirement for Research in the Life Sciences 1. Recently, reports from various sources on life science research in the Soviet Union have been called to n-,y attention. These reports indicate a current preoccupation by an important sector of Soviet biological science with cybernetics, telepathy, hypnosis, and related subjects. Stimulated by these reports, I would like to pass on to you son',e thoughts on the possible sig- nificance of these activities to the Clandestine Services. 2. Prior to the creation of the Office of the DDS&T, a small group in TSD attempted to follow current research in the life sci- ences. Their particular interest was in the kind of scientific pro- gress that indicated the feasibility of developing operationally useable systems. After ten years of following this subject, TSD' S reading was that, with minor exceptions, the fields of hypnosis, telepathy, and general control of human behavior were not ready for operational applications. 3. I feel there is a need for a continuing search and reexamin- ation of this somewhat esoteric (and perhaps scientifically disrepu- table) range of activities toward the end of useable techniques for the CS. T SDts current mission has been oriented away from:, this sort of basic research activity and towards close-in support of clandestine agent operations. In the light of the reports mentioned above, I am concerned that recent reported advances in these fields may indicate more potential than we believed existed. I can perceive operational applications, for the CS, in the areas of agent com_rnuni- cation, interrogation, telex etry, and in the general area of control of human behavior, should breakthroughs in our understanding of these phenomena occur. 4. I am assuming that your research group is taking this area of activity under their cognizance and they will, through their con- tacts in TSD, bring to our attention any indications of practical Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000700020001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000700020001-4 utility that can be mx.,ade of these techniques so that TSD can proceed toward specific operational applicatio:ls. 5. I am happy to note that TSD and ORD are proceeding with a series of monthly meetings to developing an understand- ing in depth of CS requirements in these and other fields. This note is not meant to supplant such a series of discussions as it applies to behavioral activities. I merely want to reinforce the dependence of the CS on your office for these matters.

Declassified and Approved For Release 2012/01/10: CIA-RDP90-00965R000100120054-2 ARTICLE APPEARED ON PAGE ' WASHINGTON POST 31 July 1985 JACK ANDERSON and DALE VAN ATTA Radio Waves Studied for Arms Potential Can the human mind be short-circuited or even destroyed by extremely low-frequency radio waves? Preposterous as such an idea may seem, scientists on both sides of the Iron Curtain have been conducting secret studies on the subject. And though it bears the acronym ELF, there's nothing pixielike about the possible effects of extremely low frequency transmissions. Reputable scientists say they could be developed into another grisly weapon of mass destruction. The Navy is installing more than 50 miles of underground antenna in Wisconsin and Michigan to beam extremely low frequency messages to our submarines deep under the oceans. Lacking such a system, the subs now have to come near the surface to receive long-distance communications from the Defense Department, thereby exposing themselves to enemy tracking devices. The ELF transmissions, the Navy contends, are not at a level harmful to humans and animals. For years ELF research suffered under the cloud of "parapsychology." Unfortunately for the human race, there's nothing silly about the potential effects of very low-level electromagnetic radiation on the nervous system. The Soviets conducted pioneer research in electromagnetic radiation in the 1930s in hopes of giving scientific respectability to mental telepathy. But the lowest-frequency ranges were difficult to detect with the primitive instruments of that era, and Soviet scientists eventually abandoned the electromagnetic mechanism as a means of perfecting telepathy. But brain researchers in this country and elsewhere acknowledge that those early Soviet scientists were the first to realize that very low-level radiation could have profound effects on the human organism-and frightening military uses. American researchers have told us that within 15 years scientists on both sides may learn how to interfere with the electrical impulses of the human brain by means of long-distance transmission of electromagnetic radiation. This interference could extend to "switching off' the brain's vital functions-that is, killing the targeted victims. In fact, the Navy once funded a project to determine whether ELF signals could upset human brain function to bring on hypertension or sudden death. The project was killed by a high Navv official when he found it in his budget-not because it wa; too horrifying, but because it smacked of psychic research, which he opposed. The Soviets may already have tested some such device against American personnel. From 1959 until 1978, mysterious microwave radiation was beamed at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Official reports concluded that the Soviets may have been trying "mind control" or "electronic induction of illness." As far as anyone can determine, the attempt failed. Meanwhile the Navy has contracted r-ir yreliminary ELF studies with several hurmcdirai research firms in the Los .Angeles area. Other highly.classdied and well funcic c red sears i this spolkv field continues in this country 3n no doubt in the Soviet Union as well.
