   4. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity


5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign


6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.


7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.


8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.


9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.


10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.


11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.


12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.


13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.
    
    
    
    1. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
    
    
    2. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment
    
    
    3. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness

    3. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations
    
    
    4. They must be boomerang-proof


15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.


16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
    
    
    
    1. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat
    
    
    2. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves

    1. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated
    
    
    2. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective


18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
