CIA's Behavior Modification Program - FOIA

The [blank] Division [blank] was established in June 1965. The creation of this Division, and the simultaneous establishment of the [blank] Division [blank] was brought about as a result of growing complexity and rapidly expanding diversity of their parent organization.

The [blank] existed from 1963 to June 1965. During this time this group initiated a wide variety of priority research task which were representative of life science disciplines ranging fromhuman psychology and decision theory to biological sub-systems such as micro-immunology and particle physics.Because of this exaggerated diversity, it was believed that the division of life science activities into separate but closely coordinated working groups responsible for behavioral activities and for biological activities would be more efficient and productive. Accordingly the [blank] Division [blank] was established and tasked with the primary responsibility of carrying out research and development operation in support of intelligence requirements in the behavioral activities area. Behavioral Activities were therefore established as an Agency Research and Development Sub-element. Under this Sub-element, three Agency R&D Projects were established. These were (a)Stress Measurement and Interpretation, (b)Behavior Control, and (c)Human Factors.
