Attached to this report are ten papers commissioned by the Study on EI and an annotated bibliography of key work in English on EI from World War II to the present. Because they report on current or historical research and practice, most of them of necessity address aspects of “interrogation”: the standard term used to date in intelligence, military, and law enforcement contexts to describe methods of obtaining information from sources.

To our knowledge, none of these papers duplicates the existing literature, classified or unclassified. However, the papers do not cover the full spectrum of EI or of the study’s investigations, nor do they collectively constitute the justification for the study team’s recommendations. Instead, they report on selected aspects of current research and practice that the U.S. government may wish to take into account as it moves toward a new model of EI for the twenty-first century. The study team offers these papers to stimulate better thinking, practice, research, teaching, and training. They are intended as the “first word” in next-generation discussions of EI, rather than as definitive statements.
