( MEMORANDUM 8 June 1970 TO: Dr. FROM; SUBJECT: Preliminary Proposal: "Non- Lethal Personnel Behavioral Control" Four copies of a P!Oposal, "Non-Lethal Personnel Behavioral Control, 11 dated 15 May 1970, are submitted for your considera tion. We would like to emphasize that the exploratory nature of the work proposed makes it important that the task descrip tions and manpower allocations outlined in our proposal be considered flexible within the framework of funding and manpower available. Some degree of flexibility is necessary to avoid · wasting effort on techniques that pro~e to be impractical and to permit follow-through on promising approaches to non-lethal personnel behavior·al c:ontrol. _ .. ....... ~.
