BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF APPEAL AND GRANTING OF INJUNCTION

Stan J. Caterbone/Advanced Media Group Biography
Present - Advanced Media Group, President, Owner, and Founder.
In 1987 I became a federal whistleblower for the case of local defense contractor International
Signal and Control, or ISC. ISC was a black ops program for the NSA and CIA that was convicted
in 1992 for an elaborate scheme to arm Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries with a broad
array of weapons, most notably cluster bombs. It was the third larges fraud in U.S. History at
that time. I have been a victim of organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and
direct energy weapons since 2005. I had also been telepathic since 2005. In 2005 the U.S.
Sponsored Mind Control turned into an all-out assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy;
hacking of all electronic devices; vandilism and thefts of personal property, extortions, intellectual
property violations, obstruction of justice; violations of due process; thefts and modifications of
court documents; and pain and torture through the use of directed energy devices and weapons
that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted victim. This assault was
no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action in U.S. District
Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288. This assault began after
the handlers remotely trained/sychronized Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy. The main
difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that I am connected 24/7 with the
same person who declares telepathically she is a known celebrity. Over the course of 10 years I
have been telepathic with at least 20 known persons and have spent 10 years trying to validate
and confirm their identities without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate,
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment and act
on the numerous formal complaints that are filed in their respective offices. Most complaints are
focused on the routine victimization's of a targeted individual including but not limited to stalking,
harassment, threats, vandalism, thefts, extortion, burglaries, false imprisonments, fabricated
mental health warrants or involuntary commitments, pain and torture to the body, and most often
the cause of obstruction of justice is the computer hacking.
I have a very sophisticated and authentic library of evidence of the use of U.S. Sponsored Mind
Control technologies on my father and brother that dates back to the 1940's while my father was
in the U.S. Navy after he graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Florida, including an
affidavit motorized and authenticated by my father in 1996. My brother served in the U.S. Air
force and was victim to LSD experiments of the infamous MKULTRA program in the late 1960's.
In 2016 I was the AMICUS for Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane in the Pennsylvania
Superior Court Case No. 1164 EDA 2016 in the COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. Kane
which included perjury charges during the alleged leaking of grand jury information. Kathleen
Kane took on the Good Old Boy network regarding judicial reform in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in an effort to rid the state of the long standing public corruption ring that was
evident from local law enforcement to Supreme Court Justices, and everyone in between.
In 2015 I filed an amicus curie on behalf of Lisa Michelle Lambert who was convicted in 1992 of
the murder of Laurie Show, both of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I currently am in litigation in the
U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals and in February of 2016 Lisa Michelle Lambert published her
book titled Corruption in Lancaster County My Story, which is available in bookstores and on
Amazon.com.
I am in frequent contact with her co-author, Dave Brown of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
In 2009 I Proposed an ORGANIZED STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT
BILL to Pennsylvania House of Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of
Lancaster Mayor Richard Gray in 2009. The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of
Page 3 of 315

Representative Jim Guest, who has been working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes
for years. The bill will provide protections to individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed
by surveillance, and assaulted; as well as protections to keep individuals from becoming human
research subjects, tortured, and killed by electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices,
implants, and directed energy weapons. I again reintroduced the bill to the Pennsylvania General
Assembly in 2015 and frequented the Pennsylvania Capitol trying to find support and a sponsor;
which I still do to this day.
In 2006 I began his role as an Activist Shareholder for Fulton Financial, which is listed as "FULT"
on the NASDAQ stock exchange. As a founder of Financial Management Group, Ltd., a full service
financial firm, Stan J. Caterbone has drawn upon the success in developing the strategic vision for
his company and the experience gained in directing the legal affairs and public offering efforts in
dealing with Fulton Financial. I have been in recent discussions with the Fulton Financial Board of
Directors with regards to various complaints dealing with such issues as the Resource Bank
acquisition and the subprime failures. I believe that Fulton Financial needs management to
become more aggressive in it's strategic planning and the performance it expects from it's
management team in order to increase shareholder value. Expanding the footprint of the regional
bank has not yielded an increase to the bottom line that is consistent with the expectations of
shareholders. Lancaster County has seen several local banking institutions acquired by larger
regional banks, thus increasing the competition Fulton Financial will see in it's local marketplace as
well as in it's regional footprint.
In 2005 I, as a Pro Se Litigant filed several civil actions as Plaintiffs that are in current litigation
in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the United States Third
District Court of Appeals, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, The Pennsylvania Superior Court, the
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, The Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. These litigations include violations of intellectual property rights, anti-trust
violations, and interference of contracts relating to several business interests. Central to this
litigation is the Digital Movie, Digital Technologies, Financial Management Group, Ltd,/FMG
Advisory, Ltd., and its affiliated businesses along with a Federal False Claims Act or Federal
Whistleblowers Act regarding the firm of International Signal and Control, Plc., (ISC) the $1Billion
Dollar Fraud and the Export violations of selling arms to South Africa and Iraq. This litigation dates
back to 1987. Stan J. Caterbone was a shareholder of ISC, and was solicited by ISC executives for
professional services. The Federal False Claims Act is currently part of RICO Civil Complaint in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, as docket no. 05-2288.
In 2005 Advanced Media Group/Project Hope filed a Civil Action in the Court of Common Pleas of
Lancaster County against Drew Anthon and the Eden Resort Inn for their attempts to withhold the
Tourism Tax and Hotel Tax that supports the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center & Marriot.
We also proposed an alternative plan to move the Convention Center to the Hotel Brunswick and
Lancaster Square to all of the major stakeholders. The Lancaster County Convention Center is
finally under construction with a March 2009 Opening date.
In 2005 I was selected to attend the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City after
submission of an essay with and application. I received the invitation from Bruce R. Lindsey, Chief
Executive Officer of the William J. Clinton Foundation.
In 2005 I began our philanthropic endeavors by spending our energies and working with such
organizations as; ONE.org, Livestrong.org, WoundedWarriors.org, The Clinton Global Initiative,
Lancaster Convention Center Authority, Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Toms Project Hope,
People to People International, GlobalWarming.org, Contact Lancaster/24 Hour Suicide Hotline,
Schreiber Pediatric Center, and numerous others.
In 2004 I embarked on our past endeavors in the music and entertainment industries with an
emphasis on assisting for the fair and equitable distribution of artists rights and royalties in the

fight against electronic piracy. We have attempted to assist in developing new business models to
address the convergence of physical and electronic mediums; as it displaces royalties and
revenues for those creating, promoting, and delivering a range of entertainment content via
wireless networks.
In 2000 to 2002 I developed an array of marketing and communication tools for wholesalers of
the AIM Investment Group and managed several communication programs for several of the
company wholesalers throughout the United States and Costa Rica. We also began a Day Trading
project that lasted until 2004 with success.
In 1999 I developed a comprehensive business plan to develop the former Sprecher Brewery,
known as the Excelsior Building on E. King Street, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This plan was
developed in conjunction with the Comprehensive Economic Development Plan for the
Revitalization of Downtown Lancaster and the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center for the
former Watt & Shand building.
In 1999 I contributed to the debate, research, and implementation of strategies to counter the
effects of the global Y2K threat to the worlds computer technologies. I attended the U.S.
Sponsored Y2K symposium and Conference in Washington, D.C. hosted by the Senate Y2K
Subcommittee and Senator William Bennett.
In 1998 I had began to administer the charity giving of Toms Project Hope, a non-profit
organization promoting education and awareness for mental illness and suicide prevention. We
had provided funding for the Mental Health Alliance of Lancaster County, Contact Lancaster (The
24/7 Suicide Prevention Hotline), The Schreiber Pediatric Center, and other charitable
organizations and faith based charities. The video "Numbers Don't Lie" have been distributed to
schools, non profit organizations, faith based initiatives, and municipalities to provide educational
support for the prevention of suicide and to bring awareness to mental illness problems.
In 1996 I had done consulting for companies under KAL, Inc., during the time that I was
controller of Pflumm Contractors, Inc., I was retained by Gallo Rosso Restaurant and Bar to
computerized their accounting and records management from top to bottom. I had also provided
consulting for the computerization of accounting and payroll for Lancaster Container, Inc., of
Washington Boro. I was retained to evaluate and develop an action plan to migrate the
Informations Technologies of the Jay Group, formally of Ronks, PA, now relocated to a new $26
Million Dollar headquarters located in West Hempfield Township of Lancaster County. The Jay
Group had been using IBM mainframe technologies hosted by the AS 400 computer and server. I
was consulting on the merits of migrating to a PC based real time networking system throughout
the entire organization. Currently the Jay Group employees some 500 employees with revenues in
excess of $50 Million Dollars per year.
In 1993 I was retained by Pflumm Contractors, Inc., as controller, and was responsible for saving
the company from a potential bankruptcy. At that time, due to several unpaid contracts, the
company was facing extreme pressure from lenders and the bonding insurance company. We were
responsible for implementing computerized accounting, accounting and contract policies and
procedures, human resource policies and procedures, marketing strategies, performance
measurement reporting, and negotiate for the payment of unpaid contracts. The bonding company
was especially problematic, since it was the lifeline to continue work and bidding for public
contracts. The Bank of Lancaster County demanded a complete accounting of the operations in
order to stave off a default on the notes and loans it was holding. We essentially revamped the
entire operation. Within 3 years, the company realized an increase in profits of 3 to 4 times its
previous years, and record revenues.
In 1991 I was elected to People to People International and the Citizen Ambassador Program,
which was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. The program was founded to To
give specialists from throughout the world greater opportunities to work together and effectively
communicate with peers, The Citizen Ambassador program administers face-to-face scientific,

technical, and professional exchanges throughout the world. In 1961, under President John F.
Kennedy, the State Department established a non-profit private foundation to administer the
program. We were scheduled to tour the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to discuss printing and
publishing technologies with scientists and technicians around the world.
In 1990 I had worked on developing voice recognition systems for the governments technology
think tank - NIST (National Institute for Standards & Technology). I co-authored the article
Escaping the Unix Tar Pit with a scientist from NIST that was published in the magazine DISC,
then one of the leading publications for the CD-ROM industry. Today, most all call centers deploy
that technology whenever you call an 800 number, and voice recognition is prevalent in all types
of applications involving telecommunications.
In 1989 I had founded Advanced Media Group, Ltd., and was one of only 5 or 6 U.S. domestic
companies that had the capability to manufacture CD-ROM's. We did business with commercial
companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and foreign companies. I performed
services and contracts for the Department of Defense, NASA, National Institution of Standards &
Technology (NIST), Department of Defense, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA), and the Defense Mapping Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, (CIA), IBM, Microsoft,
AMP, Commodore Computers, American Bankers Bond Buyers, and a host of others. I also was
working with R.R, Donnelly's Geo Systems, which was developing various interactive mapping
technologies, which is now a major asset of Map Quest. Map Quest is the premier provider of
mapping software and applications for the internet and is often used in delivering maps and
directions for Fortune 500 companies. We had arranged for High Industries to sell American Helix,
the manufacturer of compact discs, to R.R. Donnelly. We had brokered a deal and the executives
from Donnellys Chicago headquarters flew to Lancaster to discuss the deal and perform due
diligence of the manufacturing facility located in the Greenfield Industrial Park.
In 1987 Power Station Studios of New York Tony Bongiovi retained me as executive
producer of a motion picture project. The theatrical and video release was to be delivered in a
digital format; the first of its kind. We had originated the marketing for the technology, and
created the concept for the Power Station Digital Movie System (PSDMS), which would follow the
copyright and marketing formula of the DOLBY technology trademark.
We had also created and developed marketing and patent research for the development and
commercialization of equipment that we intended to manufacture and market to the recording
industry featuring the digital technology. Sidel, Gonda, Goldhammer, and Abbot, P.C. of
Philadelphia was the lead patent law firm that We had retained for the project. Power Station
Studios was the brainchild of Tony Bongiovi, a leading engineering genius discovered by Motown
when he was 15. Tony and Power Station Studios was one of the leading recording studios in the
country, and were responsible for developing Bon Jovi, a cousin. Power Station Studios clients
included; Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, Talking Heads, Madonna, The Ramones,
Steve Winwood, and many others. Tony and Power Station Studios had produced the original
Sound Track for the original Star Wars motion picture. It was released for distribution and was
the number one Sound Track recording of its time.
Tony Bongiovi was also active in working and researching different aerospace technologies. * We
had developed and authored a Joint Venture Proposal for SONY to partner with us in delivering the
Digital Movie and its related technologies to the marketplace. The venture was to include the
commercialization of technologies, which Tony Bongiovi had developed for the recording industry
simultaneously with the release of the Digital Movie.
I also created the concept for the PSDMS trademark, which was to be the Trademark logo for the
technology, similar to the DOLBY sound systems trademark. The acronyms stand for the Power
Station Digital Movie System. Today, DVD is the mainstay for delivering digital movies on a
portable medium, a compact disc.

In 1987 I had a created and developed FMG Mortgage Banking, a company that was funded by a
major banking firm in Houston Texas. We had the capability to finance projects from $3 to $100
million dollars. Our terms and rates were so attractive that we had quickly received solicitations
from developers across the country. We were also very attractive to companies that wanted to
raise capital that include both debt and equity. Through my company, FMG, we could raise equity
funding through private placements, and debt funding through FMG Mortgage Banking. We were
retained by Gamillion Studios of Hollywood, California to secure financing of their postproduction
Film Studio that was looking to relocate to North Carolina. We had secured refinancing packages
for Norris Boyd of and the Olde Hickory and were in the midst of replacing the current loan that
was with Commonwealth National Bank. We had meetings and discussions with Drew Anton of the
Eden Resort, for refinancing a portion of his debt portfolio. We were quickly seeking commitments
for real estate deals from New York to California. We also had a number of other prominent local
developers seeking our competitive funding, including Owen Kugal, High Industries, and the Marty
Sponougle a partner of The Fisher Group (owner of the Rt. 30 Outlets). We were constantly told
that our financing packages were more competitive than local institutions.
In 1986 I had founded Financial Management Group, Ltd (FMG); a large financial services
organization comprised of a variety of professionals operating in one location. We had developed a
stock purchase program for where everyone had the opportunity for equity ownership in the new
firm. FMG had financial planners, investment managers, accountants, attorneys, realtors, liability
insurance services, tax preparers, and estate planners operating out of our corporate
headquarters in Lancaster. In one year, we had 24 people on staff, had approximately 12 offices in
Pennsylvania, and
several satellite offices in other states. We had in excess of $50 million under management, and
our advisors were generating almost $4 million of commissions, which did not include the fees
from the other professionals. We had acquired our own Broker Dealer firm and were valued at
about $3 to $4 million.
In 1985 I developed the Easter Regional Free Agent Camp, the first Free Agent Camp for the
Professional Football industry; which was videotaped for distribution to the teams scouting
departments. (See Washington Post page article of March 24, 1985) Current camps were
dependant on the team scouts to travel from state to state looking for recruits. We had developed
a strategy of video taping the camp and the distributing a copy, free of charge to the teams, to all
of the scouting departments for teams in all three leagues FL, CFL and WFL. My brother was
signed at that camp by the Ottawa Roughriders of the CFL, and went on to be a leading receiver
while J.C. Watts was one of the leagues most prominent quarterbacks. My brother also played 2
years with the Miami Dolphins while Dan Marino was starting quarterback. We were a Certified
Agent for the National Football League Players Association. Gene Upshaw, the President of the
NFLPA had given me some helpful hints for my camp, while we were at a Conference for agents of
the NFL. The Washington Post wrote a full-page article about our camp and associated it with
other camps that were questionable about their practices. Actually, that was the very reason for
our camp. We had attended many other camps around the country that were not very well
organized and attracted few if any scouts. We had about 60 participants, with one player coming
from as far away as Hawaii. We held the camp at Lancaster Catholic, with a professional
production company filming the entire camp, while I did the editing and produced the video. The
well respected and widely acclaimed professional football scout, Gil Brandt, of the Dallas Cowboys,
had given me support for my camp during some conversations We had with him and said he
looked forward to reviewing the tapes for any hopeful recruits.
In 1985 I was elected Vice President of the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the International
Association of Financial Planners, and helped build that chapter by increasing membership 3to 4
times. We had personally retained the nationally acclaimed and nationally syndicated Financial
Planner, Ms. Alexandria Armstrong of Washington D.C.; to host a major fundraiser. More than 150
professionals attended the dinner event that was held at the Eden Resort & Conference Center.
Ms. Armstrong discussed financial planning and how all of the professions needed to work

together in order to be most effective for their clients. We attracted a wide variety of professionals
including; brokers, lawyers, accountants, realtors, tax specialists, estate planners, bankers, and
investment advisors. Today, it has become evident that financial planning was the way of the
future. In 1986 executives approached us from Blue Ball National Bank to help them develop a
Financial Planning department within their bank.
In 1984 I had helped to develop strategic planning for Sandy Weill, former President of Citi Group
(the largest banking entity in the U.S). We were one of several associates asked to help advise on
the future of Financial Planning and how it would impact the brokerage and the investment
industry at large. Mr. Weil was performing due diligence for the merger of American Express and
IDS (Investors Diversified Services). We were at that time a national leader in the company in
delivering Fee Based Financial Planning Services, which was a new concept in the investment
community and mainstream investors. That concept is now widely held by most investment
advisers.

HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF APPELLANT AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM

In 2015 the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas began a campaign of DENYING In
Forma Pauperis Applications, and demanding that current cases with legitimate In Forma Pauperis
Status be DENIED in an effort to again subvert the laws of due process and obstruction of justice.
The Superior Court had followed, as did the U.S. District Court in this case by Judge Diamond.
This was an outright effort to extort monies from the APPEALLANT and in the long term make
service of the complaints cost prohibitive due to the fact that Pro Se Litigants with In Forma
Pauperis Status, by law, receive free service from the Lancaster County Sheriffs and the U.S.
Marshalls.
This tactic, in the end, would have effectively dismissed all legitimate claims of the
APPEALLANT.
The Judges used the excuse of monies in bank accounts as the rationale for the
illegal tactic, however, attached are 5 cases of GRANTED In Forma Pauperis applications in both
the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas, the Pennsylvania Superior Court, and the United
States District Court with financial affidavits containing amounts of monies in bank accounts
exceeding $10,000.00, all prior to 2015.
This exhibit, like the previous EXHIBITS, is intended to help the Court understand the
complexity of the APPEALLANT'S obligation to provide the Court with the evidence and insight to
support the APPEALLANT'S claims and statements. These documents will also provide the Court
with
sufficient
knowledge
of
the
APPEALLANT'S
claim
of
the
value
of
the
APPEALLANT's litigation of up to $50 million dollars as stated in the U.S. Bankruptcy Case No. 0523059.
The APPEALLANT does not intend to overburden the Court with unnecessary filings,
however this burden of supporting the claims and statements falls on the shoulders of all those in
the government that ignored the APPEALLANT'S pleas for help to resolve these issues dating back
to the days immediately following the meeting with International Signal & Control, Plc., (ISC)
Executive Larry Resch on June 23, 1987.
This information could explain the COINTELPRO attributes of my situation and persons
under oath of law must refer this to the U.S. Attorney's Office and provide me with relief.
I am currently a recipient of the following type(s) of Benefits from the Social Security
Administration for Long Term Disability Benefits for illnesses and symptoms relating to U.S.
Sponsored Mind Control as evidenced by my documentation and the fact that no medical reports
or physicians were reported in the entire application process and there was never a psychiatric
evaluation for the same said purposes.
I am receiving a net monthly benefit of $1330.00 and
have been since April of 2008 and was declared disabled in December of 2005, the same said
month that I reported that I became the victim of full-time synthetic telepathy, as well as other
related symptoms and illnesses.

If the Court would consider the leqal circumstances surrounding my Whistleblowing activities and
the Federal False Claims Act filing of the Petitioner as it relates to the past 28 years and the
myriad of violations of the Lancaster County District Attorney. The Petitioner wil argue that it is
wholly unfair and unconstitutional not to grant the Petitioner In Forma Pauperis Status. The
Petitioner has filed ample evidence of a pattern and relentless cycle of earning and accumulating
capital and assets, as well building substantial worth through his business interests, only to have
it all extorted through an elaborate civil and criminal scheme to defruad.
Therefore any
attempt to subject the Petitioner to more court related fees is only a continuation of
that same said fraud.
Consideration should be given to Pederson v. South Williamsport Area School District,
where the courts interpreted due process, as Essentially fundamental fairness is exactly what due
process means. Furthermore, the United States District Courts in Perry v. Coyler (1978, 524 F
2d. 644) have concluded the following:
Even the probability of unfairness can result in a
defendant being deprived of his due process rights. The focus of these claims are recorded in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, 05-2288 and 06-4650. In
addition the Petioner is the APPEALLANT in the Lisa Michelle Lambrerrt Case and recently filed a
Motion for Summary Judgment, 04-2559, which was recently appealed to the Third Circuit Court
of Appeals.
The preceding cases have been preserved by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in
case no. 07-4474, see attached.

The prosecutorial misconduct the the Petitioner has been subject to has violated his
constitutional rights, but more importantly the abuse or process has prevented the Petitioner from
completing a wealth of claims in both state and federal Courts. 1983 Civil Rights Acts and 18
U.S.C.A. Acts state the following: The underlying purpose of the scheme of protecting
constitutional rights are to permit victims of constitutional violations to obtain redress, to provide
for federal prosecution of serious constitutional violations when state criminal proceedings are
ineffective for purpose of deterring violations and to strike a balance between protection of
individual rights from state infringement and protection from state and local government from
federal interference, 18 U.S.C.A. 241, 242; U.S.C.A. Const. Art. 2, 53; Amend. 13, 14, 5,
15, 2: 42 U.S.C.A. 1981-1982, 1985, 1988, Fed. Rules Civil Proc. Rule 28, U.S.C.A.
A case can be made for a RICO violation as defined in the case of United States v. Holck,
389 F. Supp. 2d. 338, criminal responsibility defines single or multiple conspiracies by the
following: Governments, without committing variance between single conspiracy charges in an
indictment and its proof at trial may establish existence at continuing core conspiracy which
attracts different members at different times and which involves different subgroups committing
acts in furtherance of an overall plan. This illustrates the legal analysis of the 1987 conspiracy to
cover-up my International Signal & Control, Plc., whistle blowing activities.

charged. See Walcker v. North Wales Boro, 395 F. Supp. 2d. 219. In the same case the following
was supported: Arrestees allegations that the township (Conestoga) and its police officers were
acting in concert and conspiracy and with the purpose of violating arrestees constitutional rights
by subjecting him to unreasonable force, arrest, search, and malicious prosecution and the two
(2) or more officers acted together in throwing arrestee to the ground (April 5 th, 2006 and August
4th, 2006) and forcing him to take two (2) blood tests and holding him in custody. The preceding
pleaded civil conspiracy claims under Pennsylvania Law.
In order to state a claim for civil conspiracy and a cause of action under Pennsylvania Law,
a plaintiff must allege that two (2) or more persons agree or combine with lawful intent to
do an unlawful act or to do an otherwise lawful act by unlawful means, with proof of malice
with intent to injure the person, his/her property and or business. In the case of United
States v. Holck, 389 F. Supp. 2d. 338, criminal responsibility defines single or multiple
conspiracies by the following: Governments, without committing variance between single
conspiracy charges in an indictment and its proof at trial may establish existence at
continuing core conspiracy which attracts different members at different times and which
involves different subgroups committing acts in furtherance of an overall plan. 1983 Civil
Rights Acts and 18 U.S.C.A. Acts state the following: The underlying purpose of the
scheme of protecting constitutional rights are to permit victims of constitutional violations
to obtain redress, to provide for federal prosecution of serious constitutional violations
when state criminal proceedings are ineffective for purpose of deterring violations and to
strike a balance between protection of individual rights from state infringement and
protection from state and local government from federal interference, 18 U.S.C.A. 241,
242; U.S.C.A. Const. Art. 2, 53; Amend. 13, 14, 5, 15, 2: 42 U.S.C.A. 1981-1982,
1985, 1988, Fed. Rules Civil Proc. Rule 28, U.S.C.A.
Under RICO, a person or group who commits any two of 35 crimes27 federal crimes and
8 state crimeswithin a 10-year period and, in the opinion of the US Attorney bringing the case,
has committed those crimes with similar purpose or results can be charged with racketeering.
Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and/or sentenced to 20 years in
prison. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business
gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." The act also contains a civil component that
allows plaintiffs to sue for triple damages. When the U.S. Attorney decides to indict someone

under RICO, he has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to prevent the
transfer of potentially forfeitable property, as well as require the defendant to put up a
performance bond. This provision is intended to force a defendant to plead guilty before
indictment. There is also a provision for private parties to sue. A "person damaged in his business
or property" can sue one or more "racketeers." There must also be an "enterprise." The
defendant(s) are not the enterprise, in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not
one and the same. There must be one of four specified relationships between the defendant(s)
and the enterprise. This lawsuit, like all Federal civil lawsuits, can take place in either Federal or
State court. http://www.dealer-magazine.com/index.asp?article=481
Where RICO laws might be applied1
Although some of the RICO predicate acts are extortion and blackmail, one of the most
Successful applications of the RICO laws has been the ability to indict or sanction individuals for
their behavior and actions committed against witnesses and victims in alleged retaliation or
retribution for cooperating with law enforcement or intelligence agencies. The RICO laws can be
alleged in cases where civil lawsuits or criminal charges are brought against individuals or
corporations in retaliation for said individuals or corporations working with law enforcement, or
against individuals or corporations who have sued or filed criminal charges against a defendant.
Anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) laws can be applied in
an attempt to curb alleged abuses of the legal system by individuals or corporations
who utilize the courts as a weapon to retaliate against whistle blowers, victims, or to
silence another's speech. RICO could be alleged if it can be shown that lawyers and/or
their clients conspired and collaborated to concoct fictitious legal complaints solely in
retribution and retaliation for themselves having been brought before the courts. These
laws also apply to victims of clergy abuse where statute of limitations has run out.

Re:
ALLEGATION: COINTELPRO PROGRAM WITH HARASSMENT USED TO OBSTRUCT

JUSTICE IN MY CIVIL AND CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS
Dear Director Comey,

It comes with great regret and frustration that I must write you this unfortunate letter,
however, I see no other way to stop these attacks against me while I attempt to litigate in
Federal, State, and Local Courts. My most recent case, US Supreme Court Case No. 16-6822.
For your information COINTELPRO is defined as this:
COINTELPRO (a portmanteau derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of
covert, and at times illegal,[1][2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting and disrupting domestic political
organizations.[3]
FBI records show that COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI
deemed subversive,[4] including anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the Civil Rights
Movement or Black Power movement (e.g., Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black Panther Party),
feminist organizations, anti-colonial movements (such as Puerto Rican independence groups like
the Young Lords), and a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to
"expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, neutralize or otherwise eliminate" the activities of these
movements and especially their leaders.[5][6] Under Hoover, the agent in charge of COINTELPRO
was William C. Sullivan.[7] Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy personally authorized some of
these programs.[8] Although Kennedy only gave written approval for limited wiretapping of King's
phones "on a trial basis, for a month or so",[9] Hoover extended the clearance so his men were
"unshackled" to look for evidence in any areas of King's life they deemed worthy.[10]

Obstruction of Justice is defined as this as it relates to me and this dire situation:

(1) Whoever kills or attempts to kill another person with intent to retaliate against any person for
(A) the attendance of a witness or party at an official proceeding, or any testimony given or any
record, document, or other object produced by a witness in an official proceeding; or
(B) providing to a law enforcement officer any information relating to the commission or possible
commission of a Federal offense or a violation of conditions of probation, supervised release,
parole, or release pending judicial proceedings.
In the article by By Rahul D. Manchanda, Esq. Dated Aug 22, 2016, The Surreptitious
Reincarnation of COINTELPRO with the COPS Gang-Stalking Program
linked here:
http://moderndiplomacy.eu/index.phpoption=com_k2&view=item&id=1686:thesurreptitious-reincarnation-of-cointelpro-with-the-cops-gang-stalkingprogram&Itemid=488
Mr. Manchanda writes,
In 1975 Senator Frank Church convened a joint senatorial/congressional inquiry
into the egregious human rights and civil liberties violations of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), as well as the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against people both foreign and
domestic. Such blatant transgressions included the neutralization and
elimination of political dissidents, enemies of the state, real or imagined
threats to National Security, and anyone else on the proverbial shit list of the
Military Industrial Complex (MIC).
The Church Committee was the United States Senate Select Committee to Study
Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a U.S. Senate committee
chaired by Senator Frank Church (D ID) in 1975. A precursor to the U.S. Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, the committee investigated intelligence gathering for illegality
by the aforementioned agencies after certain activities had been revealed by the Watergate
affair.
Some famous examples which have since emerged include: (1) the FBI sending letters to
Martin Luther King Jr encouraging him to kill himself or else they would tell the world about
his sexual proclivities; (2) the planned or successful assassinations of foreign leaders such
as Fidel Castro, Patrice Lumumba, and countless other South American, Middle Eastern or
Asian leaders; (3) the wholesale undermining of entire foreign economies if they
democratically elected someone at odds with the elite power structure deep state of the
United States such as what occurred against Salvatore Allende of Guatemala; (4) the
possible assassination of John F Kennedy; (5) revelations of Christopher Pyle in January
1970 of the U.S. Army's spying on the civilian population; (6) the December 22, 1974 New
York Times article by Seymour Hersh detailing operations engaged in by the CIA over the
years that had been dubbed the "family jewels, involving covert action programs involving
assassination attempts against foreign leaders and covert attempts to subvert foreign
governments were reported for the first time; (7) efforts by intelligence agencies to collect
information on the political activities of US citizens; and (8) countless other examples, both
overseas and domestically.
The end result of the Church Committee Hearings was the outright banning on CIA
assassinations as well as the FBI/DOJ COINTELPRO gang-stalking programs. In 1975 and
1976, the Church Committee published fourteen reports on various U.S. intelligence
agencies' formation, operations, and the alleged abuses of law and of power that they had
committed, with recommendations for reform, some of which were later put in place.

According to attorney Brian Glick in his book War at Home, the FBI used four
main methods during COINTELPRO:
(1) Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main
purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their very presence served to undermine trust and
scare off potential supporters. The FBI and police exploited this fear to smear genuine
activists as agents;
(2) Psychological warfare: The FBI and police used myriad "dirty tricks" to undermine
progressive movements. They planted false media stories and published bogus leaflets and
other publications in the name of targeted groups. They forged correspondence, sent
anonymous letters, and made anonymous telephone calls. They spread misinformation
about meetings and events, set up pseudo movement groups run by government agents,
and manipulated or strong armed parents, employers, landlords, school officials and others
to cause trouble for activists. They used bad jacketing to create suspicion about targeted
activists, sometimes with lethal consequences;
(3) Harassment via the legal system: The FBI and police abused the legal system to
harass dissidents and make them appear to be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured
testimony and presented fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful
imprisonment. They discriminatorily enforced tax laws and other government regulations
and used conspicuous surveillance, "investigative" interviews, and grand jury subpoenas in
an effort to intimidate activists and silence their supporters;
(4) Illegal force: The FBI conspired with local police departments to threaten dissidents;
to conduct illegal break ins in order to search dissident homes; and to commit vandalism,
assaults, beatings and assassinations. The object was to frighten or eliminate dissidents
and disrupt their movements.
Unfortunately I cannot leave my home with being stalked, harassed and threatened by
neighbors, passerby's, etc., On a daily basis I have someone, or groups of people entering my
home, vandalizing, stealing, and poisoning my food. To make matters worse, this protocol follows
me in federal, state, and local courthouses. Every electronic device that I have and use is
compromised and hacked in some fashion. Every online account is the same, and every financial
account, including checking accounts, vendor accounts, utilities, etc., contains some form of fraud
and theft by deception costing me money.

Stan J. Caterbone and The Advanced Media Group have been warning and begging
the major stakeholders to settle all disagreements for years and have been warning of
this very same situation to everyone in Lancaster County and through the various
courts, and law enforcement agencies.
Chief Kieth Sadler even refused Formal
Mediation Negotiations through the Lancaster County Human Rights Commission in
2008. Attached is the LNP News Coverage of the Police Shootings.
In 2009 I had the
Largest Muslim Brotherhood On The Web, http://ikhwanscope.net/main/ following me
on twitter and visiting my website on numerous occasions. Two days ago a Russian
Contact has followed me on my Twitter Account. The Twitter Account is in Russian and
I have asked them who they are but have yet to receive a response.
Below is the original PRESS RELEASE Stan J. Caterbone and Advanced Media Group have given a NOTICE of COMPLAINT to the
United States of America, et.al., regarding a Civil Rights Lawsuit which will be filed in Federal
Courts, the Eastern District Court for Pennsylvania in the near future.
On May 11, 2016 the article Court rejects man's claim that Lancaster County's
residents are torturing him with mind controlBy Matt Miller of Pennlive.com, reported the
following:
Rest easy, residents of Lancaster County. The state Superior Court says Stanley
Caterbone can't sue you for stalking him and messing with his mind (They did not
dispute the allegation). A panel of that court deep-sixed Carterbone's case in an opinion Judge
Paula Francisco Ott issued Tuesday. Quite frankly, Ott wrote, Caterbone gave the state judges no
firm explanation of what he was claiming or what sort of remedy he was after. Her court's ruling
upholds an August 2015 decision by county Judge Jeffery D. Wright to dismiss Caterbone's lawsuit
as frivolous. According to Ott, Caterbone, acting as his own lawyer, filed the case in county court
against the "residents of the county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania," seeking an order to halt abuse he
claims he was suffering at their hands. The Lancaster man accused countians of participating in
"organized stalking and/or electronic and mind manipulation torture being committed against
him," Ott noted. Also, she wrote, Caterbone asked the county judge to enlist the local news media
in a campaign to inform countians (Lancaster) to stop mistreating him.
Since that article the "organized stalking and/or electronic and mind manipulation torture
being committed against him (Stan J. Caterbone)," has escalated in a fevered pitch that can
only elicit one outcome if left without countermeasures murder, suicide, and or a prolonged
deep psychosis.
After the collection of authentic transcripts from other Targeted Individuals, including NSA
Whistleblower Karen Stewart , (NSA Analyst of 15 years), Army Intelligence Officer
Julianne McKinney; both of whom experience the same symptomology as Stan J.
Caterbone, and expert, advocate, and world renowned lecturer Dr. Nick Begich, Stan J.
Caterbone is now prepared to file the complaint. In 2009 President Barach Obama, Robert Gates
(former Secretary of Defense and former Director of the CIA and the National Security Agency or
NSA), and countless others, were all named in a similar complaint in the Lancaster County Court
of Common Pleas, case no. CI-08-13373, CATERBONE v. the Duke Street Business Center,
et.al.,. That case is still listed as OPEN in the Lancaster County Prothonotary Office.
The complaint will be filed under 42 U.S. Code 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of
rights. In summary the statute reads: Every person who, under color of any statute,
ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of
Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other
person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or

an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in
any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such
officers judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory
decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable.
For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of
Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

involving the following will be cited:

Federal Sovereign Immunity Harvard Law School Federal Budget Policy Seminar
The Pennsylvania Castle Doctrine
U.S. Intellectual Property Law
RICO - Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
United States Bill of Rights
The Legal Prohibition Against Torture
The prohibition against torture is firmly embedded in customary international law,

international treaties signed by the United States, and in U.S. law. As the U.S. Department of
State has noted, the "United States has long been a vigorous supporter of the international fight
against tortureEvery unit of government at every level within the United States is committed, by
law as well as by policy, to the protection of the individual's life, liberty and physical integrity"
[U.S. Department of State, "Initial Report of the United States of America to the UN Committee
Against Torture." Oct 15, 1999. (15 Nov. 2001)]. That commitment should not be abandoned.
Indeed, it must be deepened as the world watches how the U.S. responds to the challenges before
it. If the U.S. were to condone torture by government officials or foreign governments in its fight
against terrorism, it would betray its own principles, laws, and international treaty obligations. It
would irreparably weaken its standing to oppose torture elsewhere in the world. And it would
provide a handy excuse to other governments to use torture to pursue their own national security
objectives

Brief In Support of Preliminary Emergency Injunction for Relief

Summation: Due to the actions and criminal activity of the foregoing, see Part I, Parties and
Complaints, it is reasonable to prove that every aspect of the Complainants life, Stan J.
Caterbone, is subject to undo influence; harassment; torture; obstruction; etc. thus resulting in
irreparable harm and injury. This situation and set of circumstances as outlined here, and in Part
II, Finding of Facts, and all previous filings; reports; and statements, is a prescription for only one
endgame - death or suicide. There is no life action or activity that is immune from this horrendous
HATE CRIME. The precedent and landmark elements that make this so appalling is that the
Complainant has never done anything to set these circumstances in motion but to be right
regarding International Signal & Control back in 1987; as well as many other proclamations and
forecasts. That being said, it is also widely reported that many Targeted Individuals and Victims of
U.S. Sponsored Mind Control are lead to death and/or suicide. The Lancaster Community-At-Large
is guilty of creating; abetting; fostering; and executing this tragedy. The fact that local; state; and
federal law enforcement induce and encourage this environment of hate is landmark.
The Complainant seeks a temporary injunction until a permanent resolution to these issues can be
constructed.
Irreparable Harm: The irreparable harm and injure that has resulted from the above
circumstances includes but is not limited to the following:
Loss of personal property and real estate.

Loss of opportunity to secure personal property, business assets, and court related assets,
information, and evidence; including when sleeping (rape drug rohypnol).
Loss of protection from law enforcement at every level; local, state, and federal.
Loss of relationships including family; friends; and professional.
Loss of time and loss of life as a normal person would know it.
Loss of freedom of movement in Downtown Lancaster Entertainment Venues and Constant
and Never Ending Threats of Physical Harm, Harassment, Over-Charging on Cost of Goods,
intimidation, discrimination, and barring from entering public places and entertainment
venues, violations of intellectual property rights, and obstruction of justice.
Loss of freedom of movement; complainant has been denied every opportunity to secure
his personal and business assets at 1250 Fremont Street, Lancaster, Pennsylvania making
it impossible to travel or leave for any amount of time without fear of harm.
Loss of freedom of movement may constitute false imprisonment and may invoke the
federal habeas corpus laws of freedom.
Loss of female companionship, and under constant mocking for it.
Loss of business opportunities.
Loss of accounts receivables.
Loss of professional and personal reputation; especially with specific regards to honesty
and integrity.
Civil and Criminal Conspiracy to manufacture mental illness symptoms and illnesses.

Preliminary Emergency Injunction for Relief:

There are six essential prerequisites that a party must establish prior to obtaining a Preliminary
Emergency Injunction For Relief:
1) that the injunction is necessary to prevent immediate and irreparable harm that cannot be
adequately compensated by damages;
2) that greater injury would result from refusing an injunction than from granting it, and,
concomitantly, that issuance of an injunction will not substantially harm other interested parties in
the proceedings;
3) that a preliminary injunction will properly restore the parties to their status as it existed
immediately prior to the alleged wrongful conduct;
4) that the activity it seeks to restrain is actionable, that its right to relief is clear, and that the
wrong is manifest, or, in other words, that it is likely to prevail on the merits;
5) that the injunction it seeks is reasonably suited to abate the offending activity; and,
6) that a preliminary injunction will not adversely affect the public interest
Relief Sought By Plaintiff: The Complainant seeks immediate relief from the above in the form
of sanctions and fines for those guilty of extortion and embezzlement and those withholding
accounts receivables.
Complainant seeks immediate relief from the law enforcement agencies
that continue abuse of process.
Complainant seeks immediate relief from public officials for

MEMORANDUM FOR PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH
November 28, 2016

As former professional staff members of the U.S. Senate Select
Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities
(the Church Committee), we are writing to urge that the White House and the Justice
Department negotiate a settlement of the charges against Edward Snowden that both sides
can accept.
There is no question that Edward Snowdens disclosures led to public
awareness which stimulated reform. Whether or not these clear benefits to the country
merit a pardon, they surely do counsel for leniency.
In the American political system, bipartisan government reforms are
generally regarded as the most legitimate and durable. Recently, however, our
government has all but stopped making bipartisan reforms. There is one big exception:
the surveillance reforms inspired by Edward Snowdens revelations.
It was Snowden who supplied journalists with evidence that our
government had, for many years, been collecting information about the domestic phone
calls of millions of Americans. As a result, a bipartisan coalition in Congress formed to
amend the Patriot Act to prohibit the practice. In the Senate, Mike Lee, a conservative
Republican from Utah, joined with Patrick Leahy, a liberal Democrat from Vermont, to

sponsor the reform. In the House, the move toward reform started with two Michigan
Congressmen, Justin Amash, a junior Tea Party Republican from Grand Rapids, and John
Conyers, a veteran liberal Democrat from Detroit. Republican Congressman James
Sensenbrenner, a primary author of the Patriot Act and its extensions, also backed the
reforms saying he and his colleagues had not intended to permit the NSAs widespread
scooping up of data about Americans communications.
It was also Snowdens material that showed the extent to which the
National Security Agency intercepts and filters international electronic communications
from undersea fiber optic cables, and taps internal links connecting data centers for
Internet companies like Yahoo! and Google. All this was in pursuit of former NSA
Director Keith Alexanders directive to collect it all. Untold millions of Americans
communications are swept up in these programs, where they are available for perusal by
the FBI and CIA through what has become known as the backdoor search loophole.
Republican Reps. Ted Poe and Tom Massie have joined with Democratic Rep. Zoe
Lofgren in sponsoring legislation to ban this practice.
Snowdens documents also revealed the broad scope of NSA spying on
foreigners including eavesdropping on close allies in addition to potential adversaries like
Russia and China. While some have argued that leaking such legal surveillance
activities disqualifies Snowden from any mercy, President Barack Obama has
acknowledged that stronger controls were necessary. He implemented the first-ever
reforms to afford privacy protection for foreigners from surveillance unless it is necessary
to protect our national security.
The NSA, CIA, and Defense Department maintain that harm resulted from
the disclosures, particularly with respect to our efforts overseas, where they say

relationships with intelligence partners have been damaged and our adversaries may
know more about our capabilities. No one is asking that these claims be ignored, only
that they be checked, and then weighed against the benefits.
America clearly did benefit from Snowdens disclosures. Former
Attorney-General Eric Holder said that Snowden performed a public service by raising
the debate that we engaged in and by the changes that we made. President Obama has
said that the public debate regarding surveillance and accountability that Snowden
generated will make us stronger. The President also issued an executive order
recognizing that foreigners have privacy interestsan acknowledgement no previous
President had ever madeand also asked the intelligence community to find ways to
provide foreigners with some protections previously provided only to Americans.
Without Snowden, it would have been decades, if ever, until Americans
learned what intelligence agencies acting in our name had been up to. We know first
hand that lack of disclosure can cause just as many, if not more, harms to the nation than
disclosure. When intelligence agencies operate in the dark, they often have gone too far
in trampling on the legitimate rights of law-abiding Americans and damaging our
reputation internationally. We saw this repeated time and time again when serving as
staff members for the U.S. Senate Select Committee, known as the Church Committee,
that in 1975-76 conducted the most extensive bipartisan investigation of a governments
secret activities ever, in this country or elsewhere.
Among the mass of long-lasting abuses that we uncovered were: For 30
years, NSA had obtained copies of every telegram leaving the United States. For 25
years, the FBI had planted an informer in the NAACP despite knowing from the outset
that it did nothing illegal. For decades, the FBI had run a secret program called

COINTELPRO designed to harass and destroy groups and individuals whose lawful
policy positions the Bureau did not like. Actions included secretly breaking up marriages
of dissidents, getting teachers fired based on false information, provoking beatings and
shootings, and trying to get civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., to commit suicide
by using information from bugs in his hotel rooms. For years, the CIA attempted to
assassinate foreign leaders of countries with whom we were not at war, experimented
with the use of drugs like LSD on unwitting Americans, and conducted domestic
surveillance of anti-Vietnam War protesters and civil rights activistswhich was in
direct contravention of the CIAs charter.
The number of Americans caught up in these decades-long webs of
excessiveand secretintelligence activity was huge. Moreover, the Church
Committees disclosures revealed that six presidents, coming from both partiesfrom
Franklin Roosevelt to Richard Nixonhad abused their secret powers. All this set the
stage for bipartisan reforms that made our intelligence agencies stronger by bringing
them into compliance with the law and American values, and by establishing independent
oversight mechanisms. As Republican leader Senator Howard Baker said at the end of
the Church Committee, our disclosures in the long run result[ed] in a stronger and more
efficient intelligence community.
Snowdens disclosureswhich significantly lessened the time that
overbroad and inappropriate secret surveillance lasted in the 21st centuryhave had and
will continue to have the same beneficial impact.
Some oppose leniency for Snowden because he violated the law. But
many in the national security establishment who committed serious crimes have received
little or no punishment. President Obamas decision to look forward, not backward

absolved from liability the officials who designed and implemented the torture and
extraordinary rendition programs at the CIA and Defense Department during the George
W. Bush Administration. It also meant that those who destroyed evidence of these
crimes and misled Congress about illegal torture and surveillance would never face
charges.
In addition, the government has also been lenient to high-level officials
who made illegal disclosures or destroyed classified information. Examples are cases
involving National Security Advisor Sandy Berger and CIA Directors David Petraeus and
John Deutch.
CIA Director David Petraeus, who also had been a top general, violated
the law and his obligation to protect national security information when he provided his
biographer, who was also his close friend, with voluminous notebooks documenting Top
Secret military and intelligence operations, as well as sharing classified information with
reporters. He also made false statements to the FBI to avoid accountability for his
actions. Yet he was allowed to plead guilty to just one misdemeanor for which he
received no jail time. Former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger broke the law
when he removed several highly classified documents sought by the 9/11 Commission
from the National Archives and then destroyed them. He too was allowed to plead guilty
to a misdemeanor and received a fine and probation. President Bill Clinton pardoned
former CIA Director John Deutch before the Justice Department filed a misdemeanor
charge against him for improperly taking hundreds of files containing highly classified
information and storing them on an unprotected home computer. In all these cases,
recognition of the public service the individuals had provided weighed against strict
enforcement of the law, to come to a fair and just result.

There are, of course, differences between these cases and Snowdens. But
the crucial point is that only in Snowdens case was the motivation behind his illegal
activity to benefit America. The three others involved efforts to gain glory or avoid
criticism, or simple convenience and simple disregard for the law that put our security at
risk. Yet the perpetrators were treated leniently.
Snowdens explicit intent was to raise public awareness about activities
that he believed (and that all three branches of government have to varying degrees
affirmed) were illegal, or overbroad, so that there could be a robust public discussion
about the proper scope of government surveillance.
Snowden did not try to mask his identity, or lie to the FBI. He knew he
would pay a personal price. As he has.
Contrary to his critics, Snowden did not flee to Russia. Rather he was
trapped there when our government revoked his passport during the first leg of his flight
to Ecuador, where he had requested asylum. Exile in Russia was not his choice, and has
come at a high price personally, to him and his family. The United States thwarted his
efforts to obtain safe passage to other countries that had offered asylum, going so far as to
force Bolivian President Evo Morales plane to the ground in Austria to ensure Snowden
wasnt on it.
The House Intelligence Committee has also claimed that Snowden should
have brought his concerns to superiors in the NSA and to Congress. But Snowden knew
that former NSA official Thomas Drake tried to report his qualms about NSA programs,
and was charged with violations of the Espionage Act nonetheless. More importantly,
the Intelligence Committees in Congress had known for years about the programs
Snowden exposed. But the Committees had not acted. Nothing happened in Congress

until public pressure, fueled by Snowdens disclosures, caused lawmakers on both sides
of the aisle to act.
Snowden also learned from Chelsea Mannings wholesale document dump
to WikiLeaks, some of which put individuals and organizations named in the documents
at risk. Rather than simply publishing the NSA documents on the Internet, Snowden
provided them to media organizations, believing that the journalistic process would
ensure that only materials in the public interest would be published, and that the
government would have a chance to argue for redactions or withholding of materials that
might truly cause harm. While this method is not perfect, it was the best of the possible
choices available to get the word out with the least chance of harm. Such prudence is
also relevant to leniency for Snowden.
Some argue that Snowden should surrender to U.S. authorities, face trial
under the Espionage Act and make his argument that he acted in the public interest in a
courtroom. But, under the Espionage Act, a defense of acting in the public interest is not
allowed. Snowden also could not tell a jury that his actions spurred reform. The
Espionage Act, a harsh law, was designed to prosecute spying on behalf of foreign
nations rather than whistle blowing to inform the American public about government
overreach.
Under current law, the only way to weigh the public benefits of
Snowdens leaks and account for his aim to help America is for the government to
mitigate the charges through settlement discussions.
The status quo is untenable. Snowden presumably does not want to stay in
Russia, and our government does not want him there. As the U.S. relationship with
Russian deteriorates, the risk to all interests involved increases. There is no question that

Snowden broke the law. But previous cases in which others violated the same law
suggest leniency. And, most importantly, Snowden actions were not for personal benefit,
but were intended to spur reform. And they did so.
We therefore urge that the White House and the Justice Department
negotiate a settlement with Edward Snowden of the charges against him that both sides
can accept.

Re:


It comes with great regret and frustration that I must write you this unfortunate letter,
however, I see no other way to stop these attacks against me while I attempt to litigate in
Federal, State, and Local Courts. My most recent case, US Supreme Court Case No. 16-6822.
COINTELPRO (a portmanteau derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of
covert, and at times illegal,[1][2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting and disrupting domestic political
organizations.[3]
FBI records show that COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI
deemed subversive,[4] including anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the Civil Rights
Movement or Black Power movement (e.g., Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black Panther Party),
feminist organizations, anti-colonial movements (such as Puerto Rican independence groups like
the Young Lords), and a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to
"expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, neutralize or otherwise eliminate" the activities of these
movements and especially their leaders.[5][6] Under Hoover, the agent in charge of COINTELPRO
was William C. Sullivan.[7] Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy personally authorized some of
these programs.[8] Although Kennedy only gave written approval for limited wiretapping of King's
phones "on a trial basis, for a month or so",[9] Hoover extended the clearance so his men were
"unshackled" to look for evidence in any areas of King's life they deemed worthy.[10]

record, document, or other object produced by a witness in an official proceeding; or

into the egregious human rights and civil liberties violations of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), as well as the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against people both foreign and
domestic. Such blatant transgressions included the neutralization and
elimination of political dissidents, enemies of the state, real or imagined
threats to National Security, and anyone else on the proverbial shit list of the
Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a U.S. Senate committee
chaired by Senator Frank Church (D ID) in 1975. A precursor to the U.S. Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, the committee investigated intelligence gathering for illegality
by the aforementioned agencies after certain activities had been revealed by the Watergate
affair.
Some famous examples which have since emerged include: (1) the FBI sending letters to
Martin Luther King Jr encouraging him to kill himself or else they would tell the world about
his sexual proclivities; (2) the planned or successful assassinations of foreign leaders such
as Fidel Castro, Patrice Lumumba, and countless other South American, Middle Eastern or
Asian leaders; (3) the wholesale undermining of entire foreign economies if they
democratically elected someone at odds with the elite power structure deep state of the
United States such as what occurred against Salvatore Allende of Guatemala; (4) the
possible assassination of John F Kennedy; (5) revelations of Christopher Pyle in January
York Times article by Seymour Hersh detailing operations engaged in by the CIA over the
years that had been dubbed the "family jewels, involving covert action programs involving
assassination attempts against foreign leaders and covert attempts to subvert foreign
governments were reported for the first time; (7) efforts by intelligence agencies to collect
information on the political activities of US citizens; and (8) countless other examples, both
overseas and domestically.
The end result of the Church Committee Hearings was the outright banning on CIA
assassinations as well as the FBI/DOJ COINTELPRO gang-stalking programs. In 1975 and
1976, the Church Committee published fourteen reports on various U.S. intelligence
agencies' formation, operations, and the alleged abuses of law and of power that they had
committed, with recommendations for reform, some of which were later put in place.

purpose was to discredit and disrupt. Their very presence served to undermine trust and
scare off potential supporters. The FBI and police exploited this fear to smear genuine
activists as agents;
about meetings and events, set up pseudo movement groups run by government agents,
and manipulated or strong armed parents, employers, landlords, school officials and others
to cause trouble for activists. They used bad jacketing to create suspicion about targeted
activists, sometimes with lethal consequences;
harass dissidents and make them appear to be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured
testimony and presented fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful
imprisonment. They discriminatorily enforced tax laws and other government regulations
and used conspicuous surveillance, "investigative" interviews, and grand jury subpoenas in
an effort to intimidate activists and silence their supporters;
(4) Illegal force: The FBI conspired with local police departments to threaten dissidents;
to conduct illegal break ins in order to search dissident homes; and to commit vandalism,
assaults, beatings and assassinations. The object was to frighten or eliminate dissidents
and disrupt their movements.
Unfortunately I cannot leave my home with being stalked, harassed and threatened by
neighbors, passerby's, etc., On a daily basis I have someone, or groups of people entering my

me in federal, state, and local courthouses. Every electronic device that I have and use is

In 1987 I became a federal whistleblower for the case of local defense contractor International Signal
and Control, or ISC. ISC was a black ops program for the NSA and CIA that was convicted in 1992 for
an elaborate scheme to arm Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries with a broad array of weapons,
most notably cluster bombs. It was the third larges fraud in U.S. History at that time. I have been a
victim of organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and direct energy weapons since 2005.
I had also been telepathic since 2005. In 2005 the U.S. Sponsored Mind Control turned into an all-out
assault of mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; hacking of all electronic devices; vandilism and thefts
of personal property, extortions, intellectual property violations, obstruction of justice; violations of due
process; thefts and modifications of court documents; and pain and torture through the use of directed
energy devices and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted
victim. This assault was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal
action in U.S. District Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288. This
assault began after the handlers remotely trained/sychronized Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy.
The main difference opposed to most other victims of this technology is that I am connected 24/7 with
the same person who declares telepathically she is a known celebrity. Over the course of 10 years I
have been telepathic with at least 20 known persons and have spent 10 years trying to validate and
confirm their identities without success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment and act on the
numerous formal complaints that are filed in their respective offices. Most complaints are focused on
the routine victimization's of a targeted individual including but not limited to stalking, harassment,
threats, vandalism, thefts, extortion, burglaries, false imprisonments, fabricated mental health warrants
or involuntary commitments, pain and torture to the body, and most often the cause of obstruction of
justice is the computer hacking.
I have a very sophisticated and authentic library of evidence of the use of U.S. Sponsored Mind Control
technologies on my father and brother that dates back to the 1940's while my father was in the U.S.
Navy after he graduated with honors from Air Gunners School in Florida, including an affidavit motorized
and authenticated by my father in 1996. My brother served in the U.S. Air force and was victim to LSD
experiments of the infamous MKULTRA program in the late 1960's.
In 2015 I filed an amicus curie on behalf of Lisa Michelle Lambert who was convicted in 1992 of the
murder of Laurie Show, both of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I currently am in litigation in the U.S. Third
Circuit Court of Appeals and in February of 2016 Lisa Michelle Lambert published her book titled
Corruption in Lancaster County My Story, which is available in bookstores and on Amazon.com. I
am in frequent contact with her co-author, Dave Brown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 2009 I Proposed an ORGANIZED STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT BILL
to Pennsylvania House of Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of Lancaster
Mayor Richard Gray in 2009. The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of Representative Jim
Guest, who has been working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes for years. The bill will
provide protections to individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and
assaulted; as well as protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured,
and killed by electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and directed energy
weapons. I again reintroduced the bill to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 2015 and frequented
the Pennsylvania Capitol trying to find support and a sponsor; which I still do to this day.
In 2006 I began his role as an Activist Shareholder for Fulton Financial, which is listed as "FULT" on the
NASDAQ stock exchange. As a founder of Financial Management Group, Ltd., a full service financial firm,
Stan J. Caterbone has drawn upon the success in developing the strategic vision for his company and
the experience gained in directing the legal affairs and public offering efforts in dealing with Fulton
Financial. I have been in recent discussions with the Fulton Financial Board of Directors with regards to
various complaints dealing with such issues as the Resource Bank acquisition and the subprime failures.
I believe that Fulton Financial needs management to become more aggressive in it's strategic planning
and the performance it expects from it's management team in order to increase shareholder value.
Expanding the footprint of the regional bank has not yielded an increase to the bottom line that is
consistent with the expectations of shareholders. Lancaster County has seen several local banking
institutions acquired by larger regional banks, thus increasing the competition Fulton Financial will see in
it's local marketplace as well as in it's regional footprint.
In 2005 I, as a Pro Se Litigant filed several civil actions as Plaintiffs that are in current litigation in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the United States Third District
Court of Appeals, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, The Pennsylvania Superior Court, the
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, The Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
These litigations include violations of intellectual property rights, anti-trust violations, and interference
of contracts relating to several business interests. Central to this litigation is the Digital Movie, Digital
Technologies, Financial Management Group, Ltd,/FMG Advisory, Ltd., and its affiliated businesses along
with a Federal False Claims Act or Federal Whistleblowers Act regarding the firm of International Signal
and Control, Plc., (ISC) the $1Billion Dollar Fraud and the Export violations of selling arms to South
Africa and Iraq. This litigation dates back to 1987. Stan J. Caterbone was a shareholder of ISC, and was
solicited by ISC executives for professional services. The Federal False Claims Act is currently part of
RICO Civil Complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals, as docket no. 05-2288.
Tourism Tax and Hotel Tax that supports the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center & Marriot. We also
proposed an alternative plan to move the Convention Center to the Hotel Brunswick and Lancaster
Square to all of the major stakeholders. The Lancaster County Convention Center is finally under
construction with a March 2009 Opening date.
In 2005 I was selected to attend the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City after submission of
an essay with and application. I received the invitation from Bruce R. Lindsey, Chief Executive Officer of
the William J. Clinton Foundation.

In 2004 I embarked on our past endeavors in the music and entertainment industries with an emphasis
on assisting for the fair and equitable distribution of artists rights and royalties in the fight against
electronic piracy. We have attempted to assist in developing new business models to address the
convergence of physical and electronic mediums; as it displaces royalties and revenues for those
creating, promoting, and delivering a range of entertainment content via wireless networks.
In 2000 to 2002 I developed an array of marketing and communication tools for wholesalers of the
AIM Investment Group and managed several communication programs for several of the company
wholesalers throughout the United States and Costa Rica. We also began a Day Trading project that
lasted until 2004 with success.
In 1999 I developed a comprehensive business plan to develop the former Sprecher Brewery, known as
the Excelsior Building on E. King Street, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This plan was developed in
conjunction with the Comprehensive Economic Development Plan for the Revitalization of Downtown
Lancaster and the Downtown Lancaster Convention Center for the former Watt & Shand building.
In 1999 I contributed to the debate, research, and implementation of strategies to counter the effects
of the global Y2K threat to the worlds computer technologies. I attended the U.S. Sponsored Y2K
symposium and Conference in Washington, D.C. hosted by the Senate Y2K Subcommittee and Senator
William Bennett.
In 1998 I had began to administer the charity giving of Toms Project Hope, a non-profit organization
promoting education and awareness for mental illness and suicide prevention. We had provided funding
for the Mental Health Alliance of Lancaster County, Contact Lancaster (The 24/7 Suicide Prevention
Hotline), The Schreiber Pediatric Center, and other charitable organizations and faith based charities.
The video "Numbers Don't Lie" have been distributed to schools, non profit organizations, faith based
initiatives, and municipalities to provide educational support for the prevention of suicide and to bring
awareness to mental illness problems.
In 1996 I had done consulting for companies under KAL, Inc., during the time that I was controller of
Pflumm Contractors, Inc., I was retained by Gallo Rosso Restaurant and Bar to computerized their
accounting and records management from top to bottom. I had also provided consulting for the
computerization of accounting and payroll for Lancaster Container, Inc., of Washington Boro. I was
retained to evaluate and develop an action plan to migrate the Informations Technologies of the Jay
Group, formally of Ronks, PA, now relocated to a new $26 Million Dollar headquarters located in West
Hempfield Township of Lancaster County. The Jay Group had been using IBM mainframe technologies
hosted by the AS 400 computer and server. I was consulting on the merits of migrating to a PC based
real time networking system throughout the entire organization. Currently the Jay Group employees
some 500 employees with revenues in excess of $50 Million Dollars per year.
In 1993 I was retained by Pflumm Contractors, Inc., as controller, and was responsible for saving the
company from a potential bankruptcy. At that time, due to several unpaid contracts, the company was
facing extreme pressure from lenders and the bonding insurance company. We were responsible for
implementing computerized accounting, accounting and contract policies and procedures, human
resource policies and procedures, marketing strategies, performance measurement reporting, and
negotiate for the payment of unpaid contracts. The bonding company was especially problematic, since
it was the lifeline to continue work and bidding for public contracts. The Bank of Lancaster County
demanded a complete accounting of the operations in order to stave off a default on the notes and loans
it was holding. We essentially revamped the entire operation. Within 3 years, the company realized an
increase in profits of 3 to 4 times its previous years, and record revenues.

In 1991 I was elected to People to People International and the Citizen Ambassador Program, which
was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. The program was founded to To give
specialists from throughout the world greater opportunities to work together and effectively
communicate with peers, The Citizen Ambassador program administers face-to-face scientific, technical,
and professional exchanges throughout the world. In 1961, under President John F. Kennedy, the State
Department established a non-profit private foundation to administer the program. We were scheduled
to tour the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to discuss printing and publishing technologies with
scientists and technicians around the world.
In 1990 I had worked on developing voice recognition systems for the governments technology think
tank - NIST (National Institute for Standards & Technology). I co-authored the article Escaping the Unix
Tar Pit with a scientist from NIST that was published in the magazine DISC, then one of the leading
publications for the CD-ROM industry. Today, most all call centers deploy that technology whenever you
call an 800 number, and voice recognition is prevalent in all types of applications involving
telecommunications.
companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and foreign companies. I performed services
and contracts for the Department of Defense, NASA, National Institution of Standards & Technology
(NIST), Department of Defense, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the
Defense Mapping Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, (CIA), IBM, Microsoft, AMP, Commodore
Computers, American Bankers Bond Buyers, and a host of others. I also was working with R.R,
Donnelly's Geo Systems, which was developing various interactive mapping technologies, which is now a
major asset of Map Quest. Map Quest is the premier provider of mapping software and applications for
the internet and is often used in delivering maps and directions for Fortune 500 companies. We had
arranged for High Industries to sell American Helix, the manufacturer of compact discs, to R.R. Donnelly.
We had brokered a deal and the executives from Donnellys Chicago headquarters flew to Lancaster to
discuss the deal and perform due diligence of the manufacturing facility located in the Greenfield
Industrial Park.
In 1987 Power Station Studios of New York and Tony Bongiovi retained me as executive producer
of a motion picture project. The theatrical and video release was to be delivered in a digital format; the
first of its kind. We had originated the marketing for the technology, and created the concept for the
Power Station Digital Movie System (PSDMS), which would follow the copyright and marketing formula
of the DOLBY technology trademark.
commercialization of equipment that we intended to manufacture and market to the recording industry
featuring the digital technology. Sidel, Gonda, Goldhammer, and Abbot, P.C. of Philadelphia was the lead
patent law firm that We had retained for the project. Power Station Studios was the brainchild of Tony
Bongiovi, a leading engineering genius discovered by Motown when he was 15. Tony and Power Station
Studios was one of the leading recording studios in the country, and were responsible for developing Bon
Jovi, a cousin. Power Station Studios clients included; Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper,
Talking Heads, Madonna, The Ramones, Steve Winwood, and many others. Tony and Power Station
Studios had produced the original Sound Track for the original Star Wars motion picture. It was
released for distribution and was the number one Sound Track recording of its time.
Tony Bongiovi was also active in working and researching different aerospace technologies. * We had
developed and authored a Joint Venture Proposal for SONY to partner with us in delivering the Digital
Movie and its related technologies to the marketplace. The venture was to include the commercialization
of technologies, which Tony Bongiovi had developed for the recording industry simultaneously with the
release of the Digital Movie.

technology, similar to the DOLBY sound systems trademark. The acronyms stand for the Power Station
Digital Movie System. Today, DVD is the mainstay for delivering digital movies on a portable medium, a
compact disc.
In 1987 I had a created and developed FMG Mortgage Banking, a company that was funded by a major
banking firm in Houston Texas. We had the capability to finance projects from $3 to $100 million dollars.
Our terms and rates were so attractive that we had quickly received solicitations from developers across
the country. We were also very attractive to companies that wanted to raise capital that include both
debt and equity. Through my company, FMG, we could raise equity funding through private placements,
and debt funding through FMG Mortgage Banking. We were retained by Gamillion Studios of Hollywood,
California to secure financing of their postproduction Film Studio that was looking to relocate to North
Carolina. We had secured refinancing packages for Norris Boyd of and the Olde Hickory and were in the
midst of replacing the current loan that was with Commonwealth National Bank. We had meetings and
discussions with Drew Anton of the Eden Resort, for refinancing a portion of his debt portfolio. We were
quickly seeking commitments for real estate deals from New York to California. We also had a number of
other prominent local developers seeking our competitive funding, including Owen Kugal, High
Industries, and the Marty Sponougle a partner of The Fisher Group (owner of the Rt. 30 Outlets). We
were constantly told that our financing packages were more competitive than local institutions.
In 1986 I had founded Financial Management Group, Ltd (FMG); a large financial services organization
comprised of a variety of professionals operating in one location. We had developed a stock purchase
program for where everyone had the opportunity for equity ownership in the new firm. FMG had
financial planners, investment managers, accountants, attorneys, realtors, liability insurance services,
tax preparers, and estate planners operating out of our corporate headquarters in Lancaster. In one
year, we had 24 people on staff, had approximately 12 offices in Pennsylvania, and
several satellite offices in other states. We had in excess of $50 million under management, and our
advisors were generating almost $4 million of commissions, which did not include the fees from the
other professionals. We had acquired our own Broker Dealer firm and were valued at about $3 to $4
million.
Professional Football industry; which was videotaped for distribution to the teams scouting departments.
(See Washington Post page article of March 24, 1985) Current camps were dependant on the team
scouts to travel from state to state looking for recruits. We had developed a strategy of video taping the
camp and the distributing a copy, free of charge to the teams, to all of the scouting departments for
teams in all three leagues FL, CFL and WFL. My brother was signed at that camp by the Ottawa
Roughriders of the CFL, and went on to be a leading receiver while J.C. Watts was one of the leagues
most prominent quarterbacks. My brother also played 2 years with the Miami Dolphins while Dan Marino
was starting quarterback. We were a Certified Agent for the National Football League Players
Association. Gene Upshaw, the President of the NFLPA had given me some helpful hints for my camp,
while we were at a Conference for agents of the NFL. The Washington Post wrote a full-page article
about our camp and associated it with other camps that were questionable about their practices.
Actually, that was the very reason for our camp. We had attended many other camps around the
country that were not very well organized and attracted few if any scouts. We had about 60 participants,
with one player coming from as far away as Hawaii. We held the camp at Lancaster Catholic, with a
professional production company filming the entire camp, while I did the editing and produced the video.
The well respected and widely acclaimed professional football scout, Gil Brandt, of the Dallas Cowboys,
had given me support for my camp during some conversations We had with him and said he looked
forward to reviewing the tapes for any hopeful recruits.

Association of Financial Planners, and helped build that chapter by increasing membership 3to 4 times.
We had personally retained the nationally acclaimed and nationally syndicated Financial Planner, Ms.
Alexandria Armstrong of Washington D.C.; to host a major fundraiser. More than 150 professionals
attended the dinner event that was held at the Eden Resort & Conference Center. Ms. Armstrong
discussed financial planning and how all of the professions needed to work together in order to be most
effective for their clients. We attracted a wide variety of professionals including; brokers, lawyers,
accountants, realtors, tax specialists, estate planners, bankers, and investment advisors. Today, it has
become evident that financial planning was the way of the future. In 1986 executives approached us
from Blue Ball National Bank to help them develop a Financial Planning department within their bank.
In 1984 I had helped to develop strategic planning for Sandy Weill, former President of Citi Group (the
largest banking entity in the U.S). We were one of several associates asked to help advise on the future
of Financial Planning and how it would impact the brokerage and the investment industry at large. Mr.
Weil was performing due diligence for the merger of American Express and IDS (Investors Diversified
Services). We were at that time a national leader in the company in delivering Fee Based Financial
Planning Services, which was a new concept in the investment community and mainstream investors.
That concept is now widely held by most investment advisers.

Donnelly's Geo Systems, which was developing various interactive mapping technologies, which is now a
major asset of Map Quest. Map Quest is the premier provider of mapping software and applications for
the internet and is often used in delivering maps and directions for Fortune 500 companies. We had
arranged for High Industries to sell American Helix, the manufacturer of compact discs, to R.R. Donnelly.
We had brokered a deal and the executives from Donnellys Chicago headquarters flew to Lancaster to
discuss the deal and perform due diligence of the manufacturing facility located in the Greenfield
Industrial Park.
In 1987 Power Station Studios of New York and Tony Bongiovi retained me as executive producer
of a motion picture project. The theatrical and video release was to be delivered in a digital format; the
first of its kind. We had originated the marketing for the technology, and created the concept for the
Power Station Digital Movie System (PSDMS), which would follow the copyright and marketing formula
of the DOLBY technology trademark.
Talking Heads, Madonna, The Ramones, Steve Winwood, and many others. Tony and Power Station

released for distribution and was the number one Sound Track recording of its time.

year, we had 24 people on staff, had approximately 12 offices in Pennsylvania, and

Professional Football industry; which was videotaped for distribution to the teams scouting departments.
(See Washington Post page article of March 24, 1985) Current camps were dependant on the team
scouts to travel from state to state looking for recruits. We had developed a strategy of video taping the
camp and the distributing a copy, free of charge to the teams, to all of the scouting departments for
teams in all three leagues FL, CFL and WFL. My brother was signed at that camp by the Ottawa
Roughriders of the CFL, and went on to be a leading receiver while J.C. Watts was one of the leagues
most prominent quarterbacks. My brother also played 2 years with the Miami Dolphins while Dan Marino
was starting quarterback. We were a Certified Agent for the National Football League Players
Association. Gene Upshaw, the President of the NFLPA had given me some helpful hints for my camp,
while we were at a Conference for agents of the NFL. The Washington Post wrote a full-page article
about our camp and associated it with other camps that were questionable about their practices.
Actually, that was the very reason for our camp. We had attended many other camps around the
country that were not very well organized and attracted few if any scouts. We had about 60 participants,
with one player coming from as far away as Hawaii. We held the camp at Lancaster Catholic, with a
professional production company filming the entire camp, while I did the editing and produced the video.
The well respected and widely acclaimed professional football scout, Gil Brandt, of the Dallas Cowboys,
had given me support for my camp during some conversations We had with him and said he looked
forward to reviewing the tapes for any hopeful recruits.

Association of Financial Planners, and helped build that chapter by increasing membership 3to 4 times.
We had personally retained the nationally acclaimed and nationally syndicated Financial Planner, Ms.
Alexandria Armstrong of Washington D.C.; to host a major fundraiser. More than 150 professionals
attended the dinner event that was held at the Eden Resort & Conference Center. Ms. Armstrong
discussed financial planning and how all of the professions needed to work together in order to be most
effective for their clients. We attracted a wide variety of professionals including; brokers, lawyers,
accountants, realtors, tax specialists, estate planners, bankers, and investment advisors. Today, it has
become evident that financial planning was the way of the future. In 1986 executives approached us
from Blue Ball National Bank to help them develop a Financial Planning department within their bank.
In 1984 I had helped to develop strategic planning for Sandy Weill, former President of Citi Group (the
largest banking entity in the U.S). We were one of several associates asked to help advise on the future
of Financial Planning and how it would impact the brokerage and the investment industry at large. Mr.
Weil was performing due diligence for the merger of American Express and IDS (Investors Diversified
Services). We were at that time a national leader in the company in delivering Fee Based Financial
Planning Services, which was a new concept in the investment community and mainstream investors.
That concept is now widely held by most investment advisers.

Prepared Statement of Admiral Stansfield Turner, Director of

Central Intelligence
Mr. Chairman: In my letter to you of July 15, 1977, I reported our recent discovery of seven boxes
of documents related to Project MKULTRA, a closely held CIA project conducted from 19531964. As you may recall, MKULTRA was an "umbrella project" under which certain sensitive
subprojects were funded, involving among other things research on drugs and behavioral
modification. During the Rockefeller Commission and Church Committee investigations in 1975,
the cryptonym became publicly known when details of the drug-related death of Dr. Frank Olsen
were publicized. In 1953 Dr. Olsen, a civilian employee of the Army at Fort Detrick, leaped to his
death from a hotel room window in New York City about a week after having unwittingly
consumed LSD administered to him as an experiment at a meeting of LSD researchers called by
CIA.
Most of what was known about the Agency's involvement with behavioral drugs during the
investigations in 1975 was contained in a report on Project MKULTRA prepared by the Inspector
General's office in 1963. As a result of that report's recommendations, unwitting testing of drugs
on U.S. citizens was subsequently discontinued. The MKULTRA-related report was made
available to the Church Committee investigators and to the staff of Senator Kennedy's
Subcommittee on Health. Until the recent discovery, it was believed that all of the MKULTRA
files dealing with behavioral modification had been destroyed in 1973 on the orders of the then
retiring Chief of the Office of Technical Service, with the authorization of the DCI, as has been
previously reported. Almost all of the people who had had any connection with the aspects of the
project which interested Senate investigators in 1975 were no longer with the Agency at that time.
Thus, there was little detailed knowledge of the MKULTRA subprojects available to CIA during
the Church Committee investigations. This lack of available details, moreover, was probably not
wholly attributable to the
-5destruction of MKULTRA files in 1973; the 1963 report on MKULTRA by the Inspector General
notes on page 14: "Present practice is to maintain no records of the planning and approval of test

programs."
When I reported to you last on this matter, my staff had not yet had an opportunity to review the
newly located material in depth. This has now been accomplished, and I am in a position to give
you a description of the contents of the recovered material. I believe you will be most interested in
the following aspects of the recent discovery:
How the material was discovered and why it was not previously found;
The nature of this recently located material;
How much new information there is in the material which may not have been previously
known and reported to Senate investigators; and
What we believe the most significant aspects of this find to be.
To begin, as to how we discovered these materials. The material had been sent to our Retired
Records Center outside of Washington and was discovered sent to our Retired Records Center
outside of Washington and was discovered there as a result of the extensive search efforts of an
employee charged with responsibility for maintaining our holdings on behavioral drugs and for
responding to Freedom of Information Act requests on this subject. During the Church Committee
investigation in 1975, searches for MKULTRA-related material were made by examining both the
active and retired records of all branches of CIA considered at all likely to have had association
with MKULTRA documents. The retired records of the Budget and Fiscal Section of the Branch
responsible for such work were not searched, however. This was because financial papers
associated with sensitive projects such s MKULTRA were normally maintained by the Branch
itself under the project file, not by the Budget and Fiscal Section. In the case at hand, however,
the newly located material was sent to the Retired Records Center in 1970 by the Budget and
Fiscal Section as part of its own retired holdings. The reason for this departure from normal
procedure is not known. As a result of it, however, the material escaped retrieval and destruction
in 1973 by the then-retiring Director of the Office as well as discovery in 1975 by CIA officials
responding to Senate investigators.
The employee who located this material did so by leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to
respond to FOIA requests. He reviewed all listings of material of this Branch stored at the Retired
Records Center, including those of the Budget and Fiscal Section and, thus, discovered the
MKULTRA-related documents which had been missed in the previous searches. In sum, the
Agency failed to uncover these particular documents in 1973 in the process of attempting to
destroy them; it similarly failed to locate them in 1975 in response to the Church Committee
hearings. I am convinced that there was no attempt to conceal this material during the earlier
searches.
Next, as to the nature of the recently located material, it is important to realize that the recovered
folders are finance folders. The bulk of the material in them consists of approvals for advance of
funds, vouchers, accountings, and the like -- most of which are not very informative as to the
nature of the activities that were undertaken. Occasional project proposals or memoranda
commenting on some aspect of a subproject are scattered throughout this material. In general,
however, the recovered material does not include status reports or other documents relating to
operational considerations or progress in the various subprojects, though some elaboration of the
activities contemplated does appear. The recovered documents fall roughly into three categories:
First, there are 149 MKULTRA subprojects, many of which appear to have some connection
with research into behavioral modification, drug acquisition and testing or administering drugs
surreptitiously.

Second, there are two boxes of miscellaneous MKULTRA papers, including audit reports and
financial statements from "cut-out" (i.e., intermediary) funding mechanisms used to conceal CIA's
sponsorship of various research projects.
Finally, there are 33 additional subprojects concerning certain intelligence activities previously
funded under MKULTRA which have nothing to do either with behavioral modification, drugs,
and toxins or with any other related matters.
We have attempted to group the activities covered by the 149 subprojects into categories under
descriptive headings. In broad outline, at least, this presents the contents of these files. The
activities are placed in the following 15 categories:
-61. Research into the effects of behavioral drugs and/or alcohol:

17 subprojects probably not involving human testing;
14 subprojects definitely involving tests on human volunteers;
19 subprojects probably including tests on human volunteers. While not known, some of these
subprojects may have included tests on unwitting subjects as well;
6 subprojects involving tests on unwitting subjects.
2. Research on hypnosis: 8 subprojects, including 2 involving hypnosis and drugs in combination.
3. Acquisition of chemicals or drugs: 7 subprojects.
4. Aspects of magicians' art useful in covert operations: e.g., surreptitious delivery of drug-related
materials: 4 subprojects.
5. Studies of human behavior, sleep research, and behavioral changes during psychotherapy: 9
subprojects.
6. Library searches and attendance at seminars and international conferences on behavioral
modification: 6 subprojects.
7. Motivational studies, studies of defectors, assessment, and training techniques: 23 subprojects.
8. Polygraph research: 3 subprojects.
9. Funding mechanisms for MKULTRA external research activities: 3 subprojects.
10. Research on drugs, toxins, and biologicals in human tissue; provision of exotic pathogens and
the capability to incorporate them in effective delivery systems: 6 subprojects.
11. Activities whose objectives cannot be determined from available documentation: 3

subprojects.
12. Subprojects involving funding support for unspecified activities connected with the Army's
Special Operations Division at Fr. Detrick, Md. This activity is outline in Book I of the Church
Committee Report, pp. 388-389. (See Appendix A, pp. 68-69.) Under CIA's Project MKNAOMI,
the Army Assisted CIA in developing, testing, and maintaining biological agents and delivery
systems for use against humans as well as against animals and crops. The objectives of these
subprojects cannot be identified from the recovered material beyond the fact that the money was
to be used where normal funding channels would require more written or oral justification than
appeared desirable for security reasons or where operational considerations dictated short lead
times for purchases. About $11,000 was involved during this period 1953-1960: 3 subprojects.
13. Single subprojects in such areas as effects of electro-shock, harassment techniques for
offensive use, analysis of extrasensory perception, gas propelled sprays and aerosols, and four
subprojects involving crop and material sabotage.
14. One or two subprojects on each of the following:
"Blood Grouping" research, controlling the activity of animals, energy storage and transfer in
organic systems; and
stimulus and response in biological systems.
15. Three subprojects canceled before any work was done on them having to do with laboratory
drug screening, research on brain concussion, and research on biologically active materials to be
tested through the skin on human volunteers.
Now, as to how much new the recovered material adds to what has previously been reported to
the Church Committee and to Senator Kennedy's Subcommittee on Health on these topics, the
answer is additional detail, for the most part: e.g., the names of previously unidentified
researchers and institutions associated on either a witting or unwitting basis with MKULTRA
activities, and the names of CIA officials who approved or monitored the various subprojects.
Some new substantive material is also present: e.g., details concerning proposals for
experimentation and clinical testing associated with various research projects, and a possibly
improper contribution by CIA to a private institution. However, the principal types of activities
included have, for the most part, either been outlined to some extent or generally described in
what was previously available to CIA in the way of documentation and was supplied by CIA to
Senate investigators. For example:
Financial disbursement records for the period 1960-1964 for 76 of the 149 numbered MKULTRA
subprojects had been recovered from the Office of Finance by CIA and were made available to the
Church Committee investigators in August or September 1975.
The 1963 Inspector General report on MKULTRA made available to both the Church Committee
and Senator Kennedy's Subcommittee mentions electro-shock
-7and harassment substances (pp. 4, 16); covert testing on unwitting U.S. citizens (pp. 7, 10-12); the

search for new materials through arrangements with specialists in universities, pharmaceutical
houses, hospitals, state and federal institutions, and private research organizations (pp. 7, 9); and
the fact that the Technical Service Division of CIA had initiated 144 subprojects related to the
control of human behavior between 1953-1963 (p. 21).
The relevant section of a 1957 Inspector General report on the Technical Service Division was
also made available to the Church Committee staff. That report discusses techniques for human
assessment and unorthodox methods of communication (p. 201); discrediting and disabling
materials which can be covertly administered (pp. 201-202); studies on magicians' arts as applied
to covert operations (p. 202); specific funding mechanisms for research performed outside of CIA
(pp. 202-203, 205); research being done on "K" (knockout) material, alcohol tolerance, and
hypnotism (p. 203); research on LSD (p. 204); anti-personnel harassment and assassination
delivery systems including aerosol generators and other spray devices (pp. 206-208); the role of
Fort Detrick in support of CIA's Biological/Chemical Warfare capability (p. 208); and material
sabotage research (p. 209). Much of this material is reflected in the Church Committee Report,
Book I, pp. 385-422. (See Appendix A, pp. 65-102).
The most significant new data discovered are, first, the names of researchers and institutions who
participated in the MKULTRA project and, secondly, a possibly improper contribution by CIA to
a private institution. We are now in possession of the names of 185 non-government researchers
and assistants who are identified in the recovered material dealing with the 149 subprojects. The
names of 80 institutions where work was done or with which these people were affiliated are also
mentioned.
The institutions include 44 colleges or universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or
pharmaceutical companies and the like, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated
with universities), and 3 penal institutions. While the identities of some of these people and
institutions were known previously, the discovery of the new identities adds to our knowledge of
MKULTRA.
The facts as they pertain to the possibly improper contribution are as follows: One project
involves a contribution of $375,000 to a building fund of a private medical institution. The fact
that a contribution was made was previously known; indeed it was mentioned in a 1957 Inspector
General report on the Technical Service Division of CIA, pertinent portions of which had been
reviewed by the Church Committee staff. The newly discovered material, however, makes it clear
that this contribution was made through an intermediary, which made it appear to be a private
donation. As a private donation, the contribution was then matched by federal funds. The
institution was not made aware of the true source of the gift. This project was approved by the
then DCI, and concurred in by CIA's top management at the time, including the then General
Counsel who wrote an opinion supporting the legality of the contribution.
The recently discovered documents give a greater insight into the scope of the unwitting drug
testing but contribute little more than that. We now have collaborating information that some of
the unwitting drug testing was carried on in safehouses in San Francisco and New York City, and
we have identified that three individuals were involved in this undertaking as opposed to the
previously reported one person. We also know now that some unwitting testing took place on
criminal sexual psychopaths confined at a State hospital and that, additionally, research was done
on knock-out or "K" drug in parallel with research to develop pain killers for cancer patients.
These, then are the principal findings identified to date in our review of the recovered material. As
noted earlier, we believe the detail on the identities of researchers and institutions involved in
CIA's sponsorship of drugs and behavioral modification is a new element and one which poses a
considerable problem. Most of the people and institutions involved are not aware of Agency
sponsorship. We should certainly assume that the researchers and institutions which cooperate

with CIA on a witting basis acted in good faith and in the belief that they were aiding their
government in a legitimate and proper purpose. I believe we all have a moral obligation to these
researchers and institutions to protect them from any unjustified embarrassment or damage to
their reputations which revelation of their identities might bring. In addition, I have a legal
obligation under the Privacy Act not to publicly disclose the names of the individual researchers
without their consent. This is especially true, of course, for
-8those researchers and institutions which were unwitting participants in CIA-sponsored activities.
Nevertheless, recognizing the right and the need of both the Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence and the Senate Subcommittee on Health to investigate the circumstances of these
activities in whatever detail they consider necessary. I am providing your Committee with all of
the names on a classified basis. I hope that this will facilitate your investigation while protecting
the individuals and institutions involved. Let me emphasize that the MKULTRA events are 12 to
25 years in the past. I assure you that the CIA is in no way engaged in either witting or unwitting
testing of drugs today.
Finally, I am working closely with the Attorney General and with the Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare on this matter. We are making available to the Attorney General whatever
materials he may deem necessary to any investigation he may elect to undertake. We are working
with both the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to determine
whether it is practicable from this new evidence to attempt to identify any of the persons to whom
drugs may have been administered unwittingly. No such names are part of these records, but we
are working to determine if there are adequate clues to lead to their identification; and if so, how
to go about fulfilling the Government's responsibilities in the matter.

Senator INOUYE. Were you a member of the Agency at the time MKULTRA was in
operation?
Mr. GITTINGER. Yes.
Senator INOUYE. Thank you. Senator Kennedy.
Senator KENNEDY. I want to welcome both of you to the committee. If we could start with
Mr. Goldman. Were you the project engineer for the safe houses in either San Francisco or
New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I know of no safe house in San Francisco.
Senator KENNEDY. How about in New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I knew of one facility that was established there, but I didn't know anything
of its operation.
Senator KENNEDY. Were you a monitor on any testing of drugs on unwitting persons in San
Francisco?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, we have a classified document here that was provided by the
Agency that lists your name as a monitor of the program and I would appreciate it if you
would look-Mr. GOLDMAN. I think the misunderstanding arises because I was project officer.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, would you take a look at that?
[Mr. Goldman inspected the document.]
Mr. GOLDMAN. This document as it states is correct. However, my-Senator KENNEDY. That document is correct?
Mr. GOLDMAN. As far as I see on the first page, the project. But my-Senator KENNEDY. Well, could I get it back, please.
That would indicate that you were a monitor of the program.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I was in charge of disbursing the moneys to Morgan Hall.
Senator KENNEDY. To whom was that?
Mr. GOLDMAN. To the individual whose name was listed at the top of that document.
Senator KENNEDY. And you knew that he was running the project in San Francisco?

Mr. GOLDMAN. I knew he was the person who was in charge out there.
Senator KENNEDY. All right.
Mr. GOLDMAN. But I had no knowledge nor did I seek knowledge of actually what he was
doing, because there would be other things involved.
I did receive-Senator KENNEDY. What were you doing?
-52Mr. GOLDMAN. I was collecting -- I had to be sure that all the receipts that ever were turned
in balanced with the moneys that were paid out to see that everything was run all right. There
was no illegal use of funds as far as we could determine by the receipts and cash.
Senator KENNEDY. So even though the Agency document indicates that you were a monitor
for the program, one of the few monitors of that particular program which you mentioned for
San Francisco and Mill Valley, Calif., you described your responsibility only as a carrier of
money, is that correct?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I would say as a disburser or carrying out -- seeing that the moneys were
handled properly. There was within that -- I don't know what's done or what he did do in
conjunction with other people.
Senator KENNEDY. Were you responsible for the disbursement of all the funds?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I was responsible for turning over the check to him.
Senator KENNEDY. And what did you know of the program itself?
Mr. GOLDMAN. The only thing I knew of the program was what he furnished us in terms of
receipts and that sort of thing. I didn't indulge or concern myself in that.
Senator KENNEDY. You still wrote, and I'll let you examine it -- it's a classified document -but you wrote a rather substantive review of the program in May of 1963, talking about the
experiments, the factual data that had been collected, covert and realistic field trials, about the
necessity of those particular -- and talked about the effectiveness of the various programs, the
efficiency of various delivery systems. That doesn't sound to me like someone who is only-Mr. GOLDMAN. Well, if you would refresh my memory, if I could read this I would
certainly agree with whatever is said there, if it was written.
Senator KENNEDY. I am trying to gather what your role was. You've indicated first of all
that you didn't know about -- you knew about a safe house in New York; now we find out that

you're the carrier for the resources as well and the agent in San Francisco. We find out now
that the CIA put you as a monitor. You're testifying that you only were the courier, and here
we have just one document, and there are many others that talk about the substance of that
program with your name on it and I am just trying to find out exactly what role you were
playing.
Mr. GOLDMAN. The only thing I can tell you about this and I am drawing completely on
my memory is that this individual who was in charge out there conducted these things and
reported them back to the Agency. I didn't participate in any of them. All I know was that he
furnished me with receipts for things that were done and told of the work that they had done.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, that document covers more than receipts.
Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes, it tells of what -- they had conducted work out there.
Senator KENNEDY. It describes, does it not? Read the paragraph 2.
Mr. GOLDMAN. "A number of covert"-Senator KENNEDY. Well, you can't read it, it's a classified document, and I don't know why,
quite frankly, but it relates to the substance
-53of those programs and your name is signed to the memorandums on it. I am not interested in
you trying to review for us now what is in the document, but I think it would be unfortunate if
we were left with the opinion that all you were was a courier of resources when we see a
document with your name on it, signed, that talks about the substance of the program. And
what we're interested in is the substance of the program. We have the recent documents that
were provided by the Agency, which do indicate that you were at least involved in the
substance, and I'm just trying to find out whether you're willing to tell us about that.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I am perfectly willing to tell you everything that I can remember.
Senator KENNEDY. But you can't remember anything.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I can't remember the substantive parts of these, things, I really can't.
Senator KENNEDY. Of the program that was taking place.
Do you have any greater familiarity with what was happening in New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No, no.
Senator KENNEDY. And you have the same function with regards to New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. The same function with regard to New York.

Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes.
Senator KENNEDY. Did you meet with the agent in charge?
Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes.
Senator KENNEDY. And why did you meet with him?
Mr. GOLDMAN. To discuss some of the receipts and things that were there to find out if
these were indeed true expenditures and to find out if everything was going along all right for
the work that was being done.
Senator KENNEDY. What work was being done?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No, the reports of these things and whatever was being done. I don't know
who he reported to but he did report to somebody.
Senator KENNEDY. You travel out there to find out about the work that's being done, and
what does he tell you, that the work is being done well and-Mr. GOLDMAN. He told me that the work that they were doing was going along,
progressing satisfactorily, but to be very frank with you-Senator KENNEDY. But he didn't tell you what the work was?
Mr. GOLDMAN. To be very frank with you, Senator, I cannot remember the things that
happened back in those days. I've been away from the company -- from the Agency for over
10 years, and that is even farther back than that, and that was just about the time when I first
engaged in this, so it was my first-Senator KENNEDY. Did they disburse a series of $100 checks, to your recollection?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I don't recollect it, but if you have it there, then they did.
Senator KENNEDY. Did you know Dr. Gottlieb?
Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes.

Mr. GOLDMAN. I didn't have anything to do with him until I would say probably in the
sixties.
Senator KENNEDY. And can you tell us what you had to do with him then?
Mr. GOLDMAN. Just what you see there, on the papers.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, that is the request for the money and he approves it.
Mr. GOLDMAN. That is the request for money and he approves it, and I am quite sure that I
probably discussed with him whether the work was going along all right, whether his reports
were being turned in, and whether he was satisfied with the way things were going and did he
have any complaints about the way other people were requesting him, but I did not engage
myself in anything he was doing.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, did you get the impression that Gottlieb knew what was going
on?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I didn't ask.
Senator KENNEDY. But you told him that your impression that what was going on even
though you didn't know what was going on, was going on well, I guess? [Laughter.]
Mr. GOLDMAN. I told Gottlieb what you saw in there was that the things appeared to be
going along all right. I was repeating and parroting back the words that were given to me
while I was there.
Senator KENNEDY. What was the money being spent for, do you know?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No; I can't recall that, sir.

Senator KENNEDY. What were those expenditures for?
Mr. GOLDMAN. That was a transfer of money over for the use in an apartment in New York
by the Bureau of Narcotics. It was for their use.
Senator KENNEDY. Do you have any knowledge of what was going on in the apartment?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No, sir, other than I know that it had been used, according to the
information that I have been given, it was used by the Bureau of Narcotics to make meetings
with individuals who they were interested in with regard to pushing dope -- not pushing dope,
but selling narcotics and that sort of thing.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, I am sure you had many responsibilities and it's a long time ago,
but the Agency does indicate that you were project monitor for that particular program.
Mr. GOLDMAN. That's correct.
Senator KENNEDY. Your own testimony indicates you went out to review the expenditures
of funds to find out whether they were being wisely used, that you came back and talked to the
project director, Mr. Gottlieb, to give him a progress report about what was going on out there.

Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes, sir, I did.

Senator KENNEDY. All those things are true, and yet you draw a complete blank in terms of
what was the project itself. That's where the record is now.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I did not go out there to review the projects nor did I come back and talk
with Mr. Gottlieb and review what I had observed in terms of any projects that they -- that is,
other parts of the Agency might have in operation there. I simply reported back those things
which were told to me by the individual out there who -- and I carried them back and they -are contained in the report that you have in front of you, word for word, just as it was given to
me.
Senator KENNEDY. The report that you examined here is a substantive report on the
particular program and project. And I don't think anyone who wasn't familiar with the project - this is a personal evaluation -- could write a report on the substance of it without knowing
about it. Now, that's mine. Maybe you can't remember and recollect, and that's-Mr. GOLDMAN. No; everything I put down in there is things that I was told while I was out
there, and if there was any ancillary information involved in there I can tell you I just don't
remember that. I really don't.
At the time -- that was some years ago. At the time -- a lot of time has passed since then and I
have made quite sure that if I could recollect it at all, I would do it. If you have some papers
and you want me to certify whether yes, this is so or that is so, I can do that, but I can't recall it
mentally.
Senator KENNEDY. You just certified the principal. There are others up here.
I would like to go to Dr. Gittinger.
Mr. GITTINGER. It's Mr. Gittinger.
Senator KENNEDY. How long did you serve with the Agency?

unwitting subjects?

Mr. GITTINGER. My responsibilities which would involve any of the period of time that
you were talking about really was not directly related to drugs at all. I was a psychologist
charged with the responsibility of trying to develop as much information as I could on various
cultures, overseas cultures, anthropological type data, if you follow what I mean. I was also
engaged in trying to work out ways and means of assessing people and understanding people.
I originally became involved in this through working on Chinese culture, and over a series of
time I was introduced to the problem of brainwashing, which is the thing that really was the
most compelling thing in relationship to this, and became charged with the responsibility of
trying to find out a little bit about interrogation techniques.
-57And among other things, we decided or I decided that one of the best sources of interrogation
techniques would be trying to locate and interview and become involved with experienced
police interrogators in the country and experienced people who had real practical knowledge
of interrogation. The reason for this is that we had become pretty well convinced after the
experience of the brainwashing problems coming out of China, that it was the techniques of
the interrogators that were causing the individuals to make confessions and so forth in
relationship to this, rather than any kind of drugging and so forth. So we were very much
interested in interrogation techniques, and this led to me being introduced to the agent in the
west coast, and I began to talk to him in connection with these interrogation techniques.
Senator KENNEDY. OK. Now, that is the agent that ran the tests on the west coast on the
unwitting people. That's where you come in, correct?
Mr. GITTINGER. If I understand -- would you say that again?
Senator KENNEDY. The name Morgan Hall has been -- that is the name that has been used.
Mr. GITTINGER. Yes.
Senator KENNEDY. And that is the agent that you met with.
Mr. GITTINGER. That is right.
Senator KENNEDY. And you met at the safe house.
Senator KENNEDY. Whom did you meet with in the safe house?
Mr. GITTINGER. This is the part that is hard for me to say, and I am sorry that I have to. In
connection with some work that we were doing, we needed to have some information on
sexual habits. Morgan Hall provided informants for me, to talk to in connection with the sex
habits that I was interested in trying to find information. During one period of time the safe
house, as far as I was concerned, was used for just these particular type of interviews. And I

didn't see the red curtains.

Senator KENNEDY. Those were prostitutes, were they?
Senator KENNEDY. How many different times were you there that you had similar-Mr. GITTINGER. I couldn't possibly say with any certainty on that. Four or five times.
Senator KENNEDY. Four or five times.
Mr. GITTINGER. Over -- you remember now, the period that I'm talking about when I
would have any involvement in this is from about 1956 to 1961. So it's about a 4- or 5-year
period which is the only time that I know anything about what you are talking about here
today.
Senator KENNEDY. Did Morgan Hall make the arrangements for the prostitutes to meet
with you?
Senator KENNEDY. Did the interviews that you had have anything to do with drugs?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, as I tried to explain earlier when this was being discussed a little bit
beforehand, again I think it is pretty hard for most people now to recognize how little there
was known about drugs at the period of time that we are talking about, because the
-58drug age or the drug culture comes later on. Consequently, those of us who had any
responsibility in this area were interested in trying to get as much information as we could on
the subculture, the subculture drug groups, and obviously the Bureau of Narcotics represented
a means of doing this. Consequently, other types of things that were involved in discussions at
that time would have to do with the underground use of drugs. When I am talking about this I
am talking about the folkways in terms of unwitting use of drugs. Did these people that I was
talking to have any information about this and on rare instances they were able to tell me
about their use, and in most cases this would largely turn out to be a Mickey Finn or
something of that sort rather than anything esoteric.
I also was very much interested because we had relatively little information, believe it or not,
at that time, in terms of the various reactions that people were having to drugs. Therefore,
these people were very informative in terms of they knew a great deal of information about
reactions.
Senator KENNEDY. At least you gathered -- or am I correct in assuming that you gathered
the impression that the prostitutes that you had talked to were able to slip the drugs to people

as I understand it. Did you form any impression on that?

Mr. GITTINGER. I certainly did not form the impression that, they did this as a rule or-Senator KENNEDY. But they bad the knowledge.
Mr. GITTINGER. They had the knowledge or some of them had had knowledge of this
being done. But again, as it turned out, it was largely in this area of knockout drops.
Senator KENNEDY. Looking back now did you form any impression about how the Agency
was actually testing the broad spectrum of social classes in these safe houses? With the large
disbursal of cash in small quantities, $100 bills and the kinds of elaborate decorations and
two-way mirrors in the bedrooms and all the rest, is there any question in your own mind what
was going on in the safe houses, or the techniques that were being used to administer these
drugs?
Mr. GITTINGER. I find it very difficult to answer that question, sir. I had absolutely no
direct knowledge there was a large number of this. I had no knowledge that anyone other than
-- than Morgan Hall was in any way involved in the unwitting administration of drugs.
Senator KENNEDY. But Gottlieb would know, would he not?
Mr. GITTINGER. I believe so, yes, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. Could we go into the Human Ecology Foundation and talk about that
and how it was used as an instrument in terms of the support of research?
Senator KENNEDY. Could you describe it to us? Could you describe the Human Ecology
Foundation, how it functioned and how it worked?
Mr. GITTINGER. May I tell something about how it evolved, which I think is important?
Senator KENNEDY. Sure.
Mr. GITTINGER. The Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, so-called, was
actually a -- I am confused here now as to whether I should name you names.
-59Senator KENNEDY. Well, we're not interested in names or institutions, so we prefer that you
do not. That has to be worked out in arrangements between Admiral Turner and the
individuals and the institutions.
But we're interested in what the Foundation really was and how it functioned and what its
purpose was.

Mr. GITTINGER. Well, it was established to undertake research in the general area of the
behavioral sciences. It definitely had almost no focus or interest in, say, drug-related type of
activities except in a very minor way, because it was largely set up to attempt to gain a certain
amount of information and to fund projects which were psychological, sociological,
anthropological in character. It was established in the sense of a period of time that a lot of us
who are in it wish we could do it over again, but we were interested in trying to get together a
panel of the most representative high-level behavioral scientists we could to oversee and help
in terms of developing the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology type of program.
The Agency in effect provided the money. They did not direct the projects. Now, the fact of
the matter is, there are a lot of innocent people who received the Society for the Investigation
of Human Ecology money which I know for a fact they were never asked to do anything for
the CIA but they did get through this indirectly. They had no knowledge that they were getting
CIA money.
Senator KENNEDY. Over what period of time did this take place?
Mr. GITTINGER. As far as I was concerned , it was the period of time ending in 1961. 1
believe the Human Ecology fund finally phased out in 1965, but I was not involved in this
phasing out.
Senator KENNEDY. Can you give the range of the different sort of individual projects of the
universities in which it was active?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, it would have as many as -- I am very fuzzy on my memory on the
number of projects. It is over 10, 20, 30.
Senator KENNEDY. After it made the grants, what was the relationship of the Agency with
the results of the studies? The Foundation acquired the money to make the grants from the
Agency, and then it made the grants to these various research programs.
Senator KENNEDY. And that included eight universities as well as individual researchers?
Senator KENNEDY. Then what follow-up was there to that, sir?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, in every sense of the word, the organization was run exactly like
any other foundation, and it carried with it the same thing in terms of making certain that the
people that they had given money to used it for the purpose for which it had been granted, that
they had access to any of the reports that they had put out, but there were no strings attached to
anybody. There wasn't any reason they couldn't publish anything that they put out.
Senator KENNEDY. What, sort of budget are we talking about here?
Mr. GITTINGER. I honestly do not remember. I would guess we are talking in the realm of
about $150,000 a year, but don't hold me to that, because I don't know.

-60Senator KENNEDY. What is your view about such funding as a professional person, in terms
of compromising the integrity of a university, sir?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, obviously, sir, insofar as today there is no question about it. I will
have to say at the time that we were doing this there was quite an entirely different kind of an
attitude, and I do know for a fact that we moved to start towards phasing out the Society for
the Investigation of Human Ecology and the Human Ecology Fund for the very reason that we
were beginning to recognize that it was moving into an area but this would be compromised.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, that is commendable, both your attitude and the reasons for it, but
during that period of time it still was involved in behavior research programs, as I understand
it.
Mr. GITTINGER. Yes, sir. On its own, in connection with this, it participated again, and
these again were not CIA-directed projects, but these were all things which would
theoretically contribute to the general knowledge at the time where the things like the study of
the Hungarian refugees -- obviously, the study of the Hungarian refugees who came to this
country after the Hungarian revolt was a very useful exercise to try to get information about
the personality characteristics of the Communists and so forth.
Senator KENNEDY. Were there other foundations that were doing similar kinds of work?
Mr. GITTINGER. Not to my knowledge, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. You believe-Mr. GITTINGER. You mean, CIA, other CIA?
Senator KENNEDY. Right.
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, my answer is in the sense that I know of no other CIA foundations,
no. There were, of course, other foundations doing similar kinds of work in the United States.
Senator KENNEDY. Have you heard of the Psychological Assessments Foundation?
Mr. GITTINGER. I certainly have.
Senator KENNEDY. What was that? What function did that have?
Mr. GITTINGER. Now, this was bringing us up to a different era. I believe the functions of
that organization have nothing whatsoever to do with the things that are being talked about
here while I was associated with it.
Senator KENNEDY. Rather than getting into the work, it was another foundation, was it not?

It was another foundation supported by the Agency?

Mr. GITTINGER. What, the Psychological Assessment?
Mr. GITTINGER. No, sir, it was not.
Senator KENNEDY. It did not get any support at all from the Agency?
Mr. GITTINGER. Oh, yes, sir. It did get support, but it was a business firm.
Senator KENNEDY. It was a business but it got support from the Agency?
Mr. GITTINGER. It got money from it, but it definitely was not in MKULTRA or in any
way associated with this.
-61Senator KENNEDY. All right. I want to thank you for your helpful testimony, Mr. Gittinger.
It is not easy to go back into the past. I think you have been very fair in your characterizations,
and I think it is quite appropriately indicated that there are different standards now from what
they were 25 years ago, and I think you have responded very fairly and completely to the
inquiries, and I think with a good deal of feeling about it.
You are a person who is obviously attempting to serve the country's interest, so I want to
thank you very much for your statement and for your helpful timeliness.
Mr. GITTINGER. Thank you, sir.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Case?
Senator CASE. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am sorry that I had another committee that I had
to complete the hearing with this morning before I got here.
I shall read the testimony with very great interest, and I appreciate your testimony as I have
heard it. I would like to comment just on one point, and that is, it relates to a story in the press
yesterday about part of this program involving the funding of a grant at a foreign university. I
would like to elicit from you a comment as to the additional sensitivity and difficulty that that
practice involves from your standpoint as a scientist, as well as a citizen, if you will.
Mr. GITTINGER. I will say it was after the fact thinking. It was utter stupidity the way
things worked out to have used some of this money outside the United States when it was CIA
money. I can categorically state to my knowledge, and I don't claim a complete knowledge all
the way across of the human ecology functions, but to my knowledge, and this is unfortunate,
those people did not know that they were getting money from CIA, and they were not asked to
contribute anything to CIA as such.

Senator CASE. It would be interesting to try to examine this by turning the thing around and
thinking what we would think if this happened from a foreign official agency to our own
university. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Schweiker.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Dr. Goldman, I wonder if you would tell us what your training and educational background is?
Dr. GOLDMAN. I have already given a biography for the record.
Senator SCHWEIKER. I have not seen it. Who has it? Is it classified? We may have it for
the record, but may I ask you to briefly describe your training and background for us now? I
hope it is no secret.
Dr. GOLDMAN. Well, I was told if I was asked this to say that. I was told that by your staff
people, but I have no objection to telling you. I am a resident from Pennsylvania, southwest
Pennsylvania, Lancaster County. I went to Penn State, and I am in nutrition.
Senator SCHWEIKER. In what?
Dr. GOLDMAN. Nutrition.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Were you in charge of a section or segment of the CIA in your past
capacity?
Dr. GOLDMAN. During the time I was with that organization, I was in charge of one small
section of it, one small segment of it; yes.
-62Senator SCHWEIKER. What was the function or purpose of that section that you headed?
Dr. GOLDMAN. To provide support for the other parts of the division.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Where in the chain of command would that put you in relation to Dr.
Gottlieb?
Dr. GOLDMAN. Pretty far down the line.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Mr. Gittinger, I would just like to ask you a few questions. We
appreciate your frankness and candor with the committee, and we realize this is a very difficult
area to go into. I am not quite clear on two matters that were raised earlier. First, were the safe
houses we were talking about here used on occasion by the prostitutes you referred to?

Mr. GITTINGER. I really have not the slightest idea.

Senator SCHWEIKER. Were the prostitutes used in any way to slip the customers drugs for
observation purposes?
Mr. GITTINGER. Not to my direct knowledge.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Would you have been in a position to know the answer to either of
these questions?
Mr. GITTINGER. May I say, probably not, and may I make an aside to explain a little bit of
this, please, sir?
Senator SCHWEIKER. Mr. Gittinger, a moment ago you mentioned brainwashing
techniques, as one area that you had, I guess, done some work in. How would you characterize
the state of the art of brainwashing today? Who has the most expertise in this field, and who is
or is not doing it in terms of other governments?
During the Korean war there was a lot of serious discussion about brainwashing techniques
being used by the North Koreans, and I am interested in finding out what the state of the art is
today, as you see it.
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, of course, there, has been a great deal of work on this, and there is
still a great deal of controversy. I can tell you that as far as I knew, by 1961, 1962, it was at
least proven to my satisfaction that brainwashing, so called, is some kind of an esoteric device
where drugs or mind- altering kinds of conditions and so forth were used, did not exist even
though "The Manchurian Candidate" as a Movie really set us back a long time, because it
made something impossible look plausible. Do you follow what I mean? But by 1962 and
1963, the general idea that we were able to come up with is that brainwashing was largely a
process of isolating a human being, keeping him out of contact, putting him under long stress
in relationship to interviewing and interrogation, and that they could produce any change that
way without having to resort to any kind of esoteric means.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Are there ways that we can ascertain this from a distance when we
see a captive prisoner either go on television, in a photograph, or at a press conference? In
other words, are there certain signs that you have learned to recognize from your technical
background, to tell when brainwashing has occurred? Or is that very difficult to do?
Mr. GITTINGER. It is difficult to do. I think it is possible now in terms of looking at a
picture of somebody who has been in enemy hands for a long period of time. We can get some
pretty good ideas of what kind of circumstances he has been under, if that is what you mean.
-63Senator SCHWEIKER. That is all I have, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Senator INOUYE. Thank you very much.

Before adjourning the hearings, I would like to have the record show that Dr. Goldman and
Mr. Gittinger have voluntarily cooperated with the committee in staff interviews, that they
appear this morning voluntarily, and they are not under subpoena.
Gentlemen, I realize that this experience may have been an unhappy one and possibly a
painful one. Therefore, we thank you very much for participating this morning. We also
realize that the circumstances of that time differed very much from this day, and possibly the
national attitude, the national political attitude condoned this type of activity. So, we have not
asked you to come here as persons who have committed crimes, but rather in hope that you
can assist us in studying this problem so that it will not occur once again. In that spirit we
thank you for your participation, and we look forward to working with you further in this case.
Thank you very much.
Senator KENNEDY. Mr. Chairman, I would like also to thank the witnesses. These are
difficult matters, and I think all of us are very grateful.
Senator SCHWEIKER. I think the witnesses should know that though it may not always
seem that way, what we are trying to do is to probe the past and look at the policies of the past
to affect the future. I think our emphasis really is on the future, not the past, but it is important
that we learn from the past as we formulate policies and legislation for the future, I hope that
all of the witnesses who did come before us voluntarily this morning, including Admiral
Turner respect the fact that we are questioning the past to learn about the future. I think it
should be looked at in that light.
Senator KENNEDY. I think that is the spirit in which we have had these hearings. It seems to
me that from both these witnesses and others, Gottlieb knows the information and can best
respond, and we are going to make every effort in the Senate Health Committee to get Mr.
Gottlieb to appear, and we obviously look forward to cooperating with Senator Inouye and the
other members of the committee in getting the final chapter written on this, but we want to
thank you very much for your appearance here.
Senator INOUYE. The hearing will stand in recess, subject to the call of the Chair.
[Whereupon, at 12:12 p.m., the hearing was recessed, subject to the call of the Chair.]

Mr. GITTINGER. Yes.
Senator INOUYE. Thank you. Senator Kennedy.
Senator KENNEDY. I want to welcome both of you to the committee. If we could start with
Mr. Goldman. Were you the project engineer for the safe houses in either San Francisco or
New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I know of no safe house in San Francisco.
Senator KENNEDY. How about in New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I knew of one facility that was established there, but I didn't know anything
of its operation.
Senator KENNEDY. Were you a monitor on any testing of drugs on unwitting persons in San
Francisco?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, we have a classified document here that was provided by the
Agency that lists your name as a monitor of the program and I would appreciate it if you
would look-Mr. GOLDMAN. I think the misunderstanding arises because I was project officer.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, would you take a look at that?
[Mr. Goldman inspected the document.]
Mr. GOLDMAN. This document as it states is correct. However, my-Senator KENNEDY. That document is correct?
Mr. GOLDMAN. As far as I see on the first page, the project. But my-Senator KENNEDY. Well, could I get it back, please.
That would indicate that you were a monitor of the program.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I was in charge of disbursing the moneys to Morgan Hall.
Senator KENNEDY. To whom was that?
Mr. GOLDMAN. To the individual whose name was listed at the top of that document.
Senator KENNEDY. And you knew that he was running the project in San Francisco?

Mr. GOLDMAN. I knew he was the person who was in charge out there.
Senator KENNEDY. All right.
Mr. GOLDMAN. But I had no knowledge nor did I seek knowledge of actually what he was
doing, because there would be other things involved.
I did receive-Senator KENNEDY. What were you doing?
-52Mr. GOLDMAN. I was collecting -- I had to be sure that all the receipts that ever were turned
in balanced with the moneys that were paid out to see that everything was run all right. There
was no illegal use of funds as far as we could determine by the receipts and cash.
Senator KENNEDY. So even though the Agency document indicates that you were a monitor
for the program, one of the few monitors of that particular program which you mentioned for
San Francisco and Mill Valley, Calif., you described your responsibility only as a carrier of
money, is that correct?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I would say as a disburser or carrying out -- seeing that the moneys were
handled properly. There was within that -- I don't know what's done or what he did do in
conjunction with other people.
Senator KENNEDY. Were you responsible for the disbursement of all the funds?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I was responsible for turning over the check to him.
Senator KENNEDY. And what did you know of the program itself?
Mr. GOLDMAN. The only thing I knew of the program was what he furnished us in terms of
receipts and that sort of thing. I didn't indulge or concern myself in that.
Senator KENNEDY. You still wrote, and I'll let you examine it -- it's a classified document -but you wrote a rather substantive review of the program in May of 1963, talking about the
experiments, the factual data that had been collected, covert and realistic field trials, about the
necessity of those particular -- and talked about the effectiveness of the various programs, the
efficiency of various delivery systems. That doesn't sound to me like someone who is only-Mr. GOLDMAN. Well, if you would refresh my memory, if I could read this I would
certainly agree with whatever is said there, if it was written.
Senator KENNEDY. I am trying to gather what your role was. You've indicated first of all
that you didn't know about -- you knew about a safe house in New York; now we find out that

you're the carrier for the resources as well and the agent in San Francisco. We find out now
that the CIA put you as a monitor. You're testifying that you only were the courier, and here
we have just one document, and there are many others that talk about the substance of that
program with your name on it and I am just trying to find out exactly what role you were
playing.
Mr. GOLDMAN. The only thing I can tell you about this and I am drawing completely on
my memory is that this individual who was in charge out there conducted these things and
reported them back to the Agency. I didn't participate in any of them. All I know was that he
furnished me with receipts for things that were done and told of the work that they had done.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, that document covers more than receipts.
Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes, it tells of what -- they had conducted work out there.
Senator KENNEDY. It describes, does it not? Read the paragraph 2.
Mr. GOLDMAN. "A number of covert"-Senator KENNEDY. Well, you can't read it, it's a classified document, and I don't know why,
quite frankly, but it relates to the substance
-53of those programs and your name is signed to the memorandums on it. I am not interested in
you trying to review for us now what is in the document, but I think it would be unfortunate if
we were left with the opinion that all you were was a courier of resources when we see a
document with your name on it, signed, that talks about the substance of the program. And
what we're interested in is the substance of the program. We have the recent documents that
were provided by the Agency, which do indicate that you were at least involved in the
substance, and I'm just trying to find out whether you're willing to tell us about that.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I am perfectly willing to tell you everything that I can remember.
Senator KENNEDY. But you can't remember anything.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I can't remember the substantive parts of these, things, I really can't.
Senator KENNEDY. Of the program that was taking place.
Do you have any greater familiarity with what was happening in New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No, no.
Senator KENNEDY. And you have the same function with regards to New York?
Mr. GOLDMAN. The same function with regard to New York.

Senator KENNEDY. Did you ever go to San Francisco?

Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes.
Senator KENNEDY. Did you meet with the agent in charge?
Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes.
Senator KENNEDY. And why did you meet with him?
Mr. GOLDMAN. To discuss some of the receipts and things that were there to find out if
these were indeed true expenditures and to find out if everything was going along all right for
the work that was being done.
Senator KENNEDY. What work was being done?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No, the reports of these things and whatever was being done. I don't know
who he reported to but he did report to somebody.
Senator KENNEDY. You travel out there to find out about the work that's being done, and
what does he tell you, that the work is being done well and-Mr. GOLDMAN. He told me that the work that they were doing was going along,
progressing satisfactorily, but to be very frank with you-Senator KENNEDY. But he didn't tell you what the work was?
Mr. GOLDMAN. To be very frank with you, Senator, I cannot remember the things that
happened back in those days. I've been away from the company -- from the Agency for over
10 years, and that is even farther back than that, and that was just about the time when I first
engaged in this, so it was my first-Senator KENNEDY. Did they disburse a series of $100 checks, to your recollection?
Mr. GOLDMAN. I don't recollect it, but if you have it there, then they did.
Senator KENNEDY. Did you know Dr. Gottlieb?
Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes.

sixties.

Mr. GOLDMAN. Just what you see there, on the papers.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, that is the request for the money and he approves it.
Mr. GOLDMAN. That is the request for money and he approves it, and I am quite sure that I
probably discussed with him whether the work was going along all right, whether his reports
were being turned in, and whether he was satisfied with the way things were going and did he
have any complaints about the way other people were requesting him, but I did not engage
myself in anything he was doing.

Mr. GOLDMAN. I didn't ask.

though you didn't know what was going on, was going on well, I guess? [Laughter.]
Mr. GOLDMAN. I told Gottlieb what you saw in there was that the things appeared to be
going along all right. I was repeating and parroting back the words that were given to me
while I was there.

Mr. GOLDMAN. That was a transfer of money over for the use in an apartment in New York
by the Bureau of Narcotics. It was for their use.
Senator KENNEDY. Do you have any knowledge of what was going on in the apartment?
Mr. GOLDMAN. No, sir, other than I know that it had been used, according to the
information that I have been given, it was used by the Bureau of Narcotics to make meetings
with individuals who they were interested in with regard to pushing dope -- not pushing dope,
but selling narcotics and that sort of thing.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, I am sure you had many responsibilities and it's a long time ago,
but the Agency does indicate that you were project monitor for that particular program.
Mr. GOLDMAN. That's correct.
Senator KENNEDY. Your own testimony indicates you went out to review the expenditures
of funds to find out whether they were being wisely used, that you came back and talked to the
project director, Mr. Gottlieb, to give him a progress report about what was going on out there.

Mr. GOLDMAN. Yes, sir, I did.

Senator KENNEDY. All those things are true, and yet you draw a complete blank in terms of
what was the project itself. That's where the record is now.
Mr. GOLDMAN. I did not go out there to review the projects nor did I come back and talk
with Mr. Gottlieb and review what I had observed in terms of any projects that they -- that is,
other parts of the Agency might have in operation there. I simply reported back those things
which were told to me by the individual out there who -- and I carried them back and they -are contained in the report that you have in front of you, word for word, just as it was given to
me.
Senator KENNEDY. The report that you examined here is a substantive report on the
particular program and project. And I don't think anyone who wasn't familiar with the project - this is a personal evaluation -- could write a report on the substance of it without knowing
about it. Now, that's mine. Maybe you can't remember and recollect, and that's-Mr. GOLDMAN. No; everything I put down in there is things that I was told while I was out
there, and if there was any ancillary information involved in there I can tell you I just don't
remember that. I really don't.
At the time -- that was some years ago. At the time -- a lot of time has passed since then and I
have made quite sure that if I could recollect it at all, I would do it. If you have some papers
and you want me to certify whether yes, this is so or that is so, I can do that, but I can't recall it
mentally.
Senator KENNEDY. You just certified the principal. There are others up here.
I would like to go to Dr. Gittinger.
Mr. GITTINGER. It's Mr. Gittinger.
Senator KENNEDY. How long did you serve with the Agency?

substance of marihuana, cannabis, is that right, that can be delivered by other than smoking?
Senator KENNEDY. Cannabis?
Mr. GITTINGER. There had been some discussion of that; yes.
Senator KENNEDY. And was heroin also used?
Mr. GITTINGER. Heroin used by CIA?
Senator KENNEDY. No. In the west coast operation.
Mr. GITTINGER. Absolutely not.
Senator KENNEDY. Now, to your knowledge, how were the drugs administered to the
unwitting subjects?
Mr. GITTINGER. I have no direct knowledge.
Senator KENNEDY. Why did you go to the safe houses?
Mr. GITTINGER. It's a very complicated story. Just in justification of myself, this came up
just, day before yesterday. I have not really had enough time to get it all straightened in my
mind, so I ramble.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, you take your time and tell us in your own words. We've got
some time here.

Mr. GITTINGER. My responsibilities which would involve any of the period of time that
you were talking about really was not directly related to drugs at all. I was a psychologist
charged with the responsibility of trying to develop as much information as I could on various
cultures, overseas cultures, anthropological type data, if you follow what I mean. I was also
engaged in trying to work out ways and means of assessing people and understanding people.
I originally became involved in this through working on Chinese culture, and over a series of
time I was introduced to the problem of brainwashing, which is the thing that really was the
most compelling thing in relationship to this, and became charged with the responsibility of
trying to find out a little bit about interrogation techniques.
-57And among other things, we decided or I decided that one of the best sources of interrogation
techniques would be trying to locate and interview and become involved with experienced
police interrogators in the country and experienced people who had real practical knowledge
of interrogation. The reason for this is that we had become pretty well convinced after the
experience of the brainwashing problems coming out of China, that it was the techniques of
the interrogators that were causing the individuals to make confessions and so forth in
relationship to this, rather than any kind of drugging and so forth. So we were very much
interested in interrogation techniques, and this led to me being introduced to the agent in the
west coast, and I began to talk to him in connection with these interrogation techniques.
Senator KENNEDY. OK. Now, that is the agent that ran the tests on the west coast on the
unwitting people. That's where you come in, correct?
Mr. GITTINGER. If I understand -- would you say that again?
Senator KENNEDY. The name Morgan Hall has been -- that is the name that has been used.
Mr. GITTINGER. Yes.
Senator KENNEDY. And that is the agent that you met with.
Mr. GITTINGER. That is right.
Senator KENNEDY. And you met at the safe house.
Senator KENNEDY. Whom did you meet with in the safe house?
Mr. GITTINGER. This is the part that is hard for me to say, and I am sorry that I have to. In
connection with some work that we were doing, we needed to have some information on
sexual habits. Morgan Hall provided informants for me, to talk to in connection with the sex
habits that I was interested in trying to find information. During one period of time the safe
house, as far as I was concerned, was used for just these particular type of interviews. And I

didn't see the red curtains.

Senator KENNEDY. Those were prostitutes, were they?
Senator KENNEDY. How many different times were you there that you had similar-Mr. GITTINGER. I couldn't possibly say with any certainty on that. Four or five times.
Senator KENNEDY. Four or five times.
Mr. GITTINGER. Over -- you remember now, the period that I'm talking about when I
would have any involvement in this is from about 1956 to 1961. So it's about a 4- or 5-year
period which is the only time that I know anything about what you are talking about here
today.
Senator KENNEDY. Did Morgan Hall make the arrangements for the prostitutes to meet
with you?
Senator KENNEDY. Did the interviews that you had have anything to do with drugs?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, as I tried to explain earlier when this was being discussed a little bit
beforehand, again I think it is pretty hard for most people now to recognize how little there
was known about drugs at the period of time that we are talking about, because the
-58drug age or the drug culture comes later on. Consequently, those of us who had any
responsibility in this area were interested in trying to get as much information as we could on
the subculture, the subculture drug groups, and obviously the Bureau of Narcotics represented
a means of doing this. Consequently, other types of things that were involved in discussions at
that time would have to do with the underground use of drugs. When I am talking about this I
am talking about the folkways in terms of unwitting use of drugs. Did these people that I was
talking to have any information about this and on rare instances they were able to tell me
about their use, and in most cases this would largely turn out to be a Mickey Finn or
something of that sort rather than anything esoteric.
I also was very much interested because we had relatively little information, believe it or not,
at that time, in terms of the various reactions that people were having to drugs. Therefore,
these people were very informative in terms of they knew a great deal of information about
reactions.
Senator KENNEDY. At least you gathered -- or am I correct in assuming that you gathered
the impression that the prostitutes that you had talked to were able to slip the drugs to people

as I understand it. Did you form any impression on that?

Mr. GITTINGER. I certainly did not form the impression that, they did this as a rule or-Senator KENNEDY. But they bad the knowledge.
Mr. GITTINGER. They had the knowledge or some of them had had knowledge of this
being done. But again, as it turned out, it was largely in this area of knockout drops.
Senator KENNEDY. Looking back now did you form any impression about how the Agency
was actually testing the broad spectrum of social classes in these safe houses? With the large
disbursal of cash in small quantities, $100 bills and the kinds of elaborate decorations and
two-way mirrors in the bedrooms and all the rest, is there any question in your own mind what
was going on in the safe houses, or the techniques that were being used to administer these
drugs?
Mr. GITTINGER. I find it very difficult to answer that question, sir. I had absolutely no
direct knowledge there was a large number of this. I had no knowledge that anyone other than
-- than Morgan Hall was in any way involved in the unwitting administration of drugs.
Senator KENNEDY. But Gottlieb would know, would he not?
Mr. GITTINGER. I believe so, yes, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. Could we go into the Human Ecology Foundation and talk about that
and how it was used as an instrument in terms of the support of research?
Senator KENNEDY. Could you describe it to us? Could you describe the Human Ecology
Foundation, how it functioned and how it worked?
Mr. GITTINGER. May I tell something about how it evolved, which I think is important?
Senator KENNEDY. Sure.
Mr. GITTINGER. The Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, so-called, was
actually a -- I am confused here now as to whether I should name you names.
-59Senator KENNEDY. Well, we're not interested in names or institutions, so we prefer that you
do not. That has to be worked out in arrangements between Admiral Turner and the
individuals and the institutions.
But we're interested in what the Foundation really was and how it functioned and what its
purpose was.

Mr. GITTINGER. Well, it was established to undertake research in the general area of the
behavioral sciences. It definitely had almost no focus or interest in, say, drug-related type of
activities except in a very minor way, because it was largely set up to attempt to gain a certain
amount of information and to fund projects which were psychological, sociological,
anthropological in character. It was established in the sense of a period of time that a lot of us
who are in it wish we could do it over again, but we were interested in trying to get together a
panel of the most representative high-level behavioral scientists we could to oversee and help
in terms of developing the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology type of program.
The Agency in effect provided the money. They did not direct the projects. Now, the fact of
the matter is, there are a lot of innocent people who received the Society for the Investigation
of Human Ecology money which I know for a fact they were never asked to do anything for
the CIA but they did get through this indirectly. They had no knowledge that they were getting
CIA money.
Senator KENNEDY. Over what period of time did this take place?
Mr. GITTINGER. As far as I was concerned , it was the period of time ending in 1961. 1
believe the Human Ecology fund finally phased out in 1965, but I was not involved in this
phasing out.
Senator KENNEDY. Can you give the range of the different sort of individual projects of the
universities in which it was active?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, it would have as many as -- I am very fuzzy on my memory on the
number of projects. It is over 10, 20, 30.
Senator KENNEDY. After it made the grants, what was the relationship of the Agency with
the results of the studies? The Foundation acquired the money to make the grants from the
Agency, and then it made the grants to these various research programs.
Senator KENNEDY. And that included eight universities as well as individual researchers?
Senator KENNEDY. Then what follow-up was there to that, sir?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, in every sense of the word, the organization was run exactly like
any other foundation, and it carried with it the same thing in terms of making certain that the
people that they had given money to used it for the purpose for which it had been granted, that
they had access to any of the reports that they had put out, but there were no strings attached to
anybody. There wasn't any reason they couldn't publish anything that they put out.
Senator KENNEDY. What, sort of budget are we talking about here?
Mr. GITTINGER. I honestly do not remember. I would guess we are talking in the realm of
about $150,000 a year, but don't hold me to that, because I don't know.

-60Senator KENNEDY. What is your view about such funding as a professional person, in terms
of compromising the integrity of a university, sir?
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, obviously, sir, insofar as today there is no question about it. I will
have to say at the time that we were doing this there was quite an entirely different kind of an
attitude, and I do know for a fact that we moved to start towards phasing out the Society for
the Investigation of Human Ecology and the Human Ecology Fund for the very reason that we
were beginning to recognize that it was moving into an area but this would be compromised.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, that is commendable, both your attitude and the reasons for it, but
during that period of time it still was involved in behavior research programs, as I understand
it.
Mr. GITTINGER. Yes, sir. On its own, in connection with this, it participated again, and
these again were not CIA-directed projects, but these were all things which would
theoretically contribute to the general knowledge at the time where the things like the study of
the Hungarian refugees -- obviously, the study of the Hungarian refugees who came to this
country after the Hungarian revolt was a very useful exercise to try to get information about
the personality characteristics of the Communists and so forth.
Senator KENNEDY. Were there other foundations that were doing similar kinds of work?
Mr. GITTINGER. Not to my knowledge, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. You believe-Mr. GITTINGER. You mean, CIA, other CIA?
Senator KENNEDY. Right.
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, my answer is in the sense that I know of no other CIA foundations,
no. There were, of course, other foundations doing similar kinds of work in the United States.
Senator KENNEDY. Have you heard of the Psychological Assessments Foundation?
Mr. GITTINGER. I certainly have.
Senator KENNEDY. What was that? What function did that have?
Mr. GITTINGER. Now, this was bringing us up to a different era. I believe the functions of
that organization have nothing whatsoever to do with the things that are being talked about
here while I was associated with it.
Senator KENNEDY. Rather than getting into the work, it was another foundation, was it not?

Mr. GITTINGER. No, sir, it was not.

Mr. GITTINGER. Oh, yes, sir. It did get support, but it was a business firm.

Mr. GITTINGER. It got money from it, but it definitely was not in MKULTRA or in any
way associated with this.

It is not easy to go back into the past. I think you have been very fair in your characterizations,
and I think it is quite appropriately indicated that there are different standards now from what
they were 25 years ago, and I think you have responded very fairly and completely to the
inquiries, and I think with a good deal of feeling about it.
You are a person who is obviously attempting to serve the country's interest, so I want to
thank you very much for your statement and for your helpful timeliness.
Mr. GITTINGER. Thank you, sir.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Case?
Senator CASE. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am sorry that I had another committee that I had
to complete the hearing with this morning before I got here.
I shall read the testimony with very great interest, and I appreciate your testimony as I have
heard it. I would like to comment just on one point, and that is, it relates to a story in the press
yesterday about part of this program involving the funding of a grant at a foreign university. I
would like to elicit from you a comment as to the additional sensitivity and difficulty that that
practice involves from your standpoint as a scientist, as well as a citizen, if you will.
Mr. GITTINGER. I will say it was after the fact thinking. It was utter stupidity the way
things worked out to have used some of this money outside the United States when it was CIA
money. I can categorically state to my knowledge, and I don't claim a complete knowledge all
the way across of the human ecology functions, but to my knowledge, and this is unfortunate,
those people did not know that they were getting money from CIA, and they were not asked to
contribute anything to CIA as such.

Senator CASE. It would be interesting to try to examine this by turning the thing around and
thinking what we would think if this happened from a foreign official agency to our own
university. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Dr. Goldman, I wonder if you would tell us what your training and educational background is?
Dr. GOLDMAN. I have already given a biography for the record.
Senator SCHWEIKER. I have not seen it. Who has it? Is it classified? We may have it for
the record, but may I ask you to briefly describe your training and background for us now? I
hope it is no secret.
Dr. GOLDMAN. Well, I was told if I was asked this to say that. I was told that by your staff
people, but I have no objection to telling you. I am a resident from Pennsylvania, southwest
Pennsylvania, Lancaster County. I went to Penn State, and I am in nutrition.
Senator SCHWEIKER. In what?
Dr. GOLDMAN. Nutrition.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Were you in charge of a section or segment of the CIA in your past
capacity?
Dr. GOLDMAN. During the time I was with that organization, I was in charge of one small
section of it, one small segment of it; yes.
-62Senator SCHWEIKER. What was the function or purpose of that section that you headed?
Dr. GOLDMAN. To provide support for the other parts of the division.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Where in the chain of command would that put you in relation to Dr.
Gottlieb?
Dr. GOLDMAN. Pretty far down the line.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Mr. Gittinger, I would just like to ask you a few questions. We
appreciate your frankness and candor with the committee, and we realize this is a very difficult
area to go into. I am not quite clear on two matters that were raised earlier. First, were the safe
houses we were talking about here used on occasion by the prostitutes you referred to?

Mr. GITTINGER. I really have not the slightest idea.

Senator SCHWEIKER. Were the prostitutes used in any way to slip the customers drugs for
observation purposes?
Mr. GITTINGER. Not to my direct knowledge.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Would you have been in a position to know the answer to either of
these questions?
Mr. GITTINGER. May I say, probably not, and may I make an aside to explain a little bit of
this, please, sir?
Senator SCHWEIKER. Mr. Gittinger, a moment ago you mentioned brainwashing
techniques, as one area that you had, I guess, done some work in. How would you characterize
the state of the art of brainwashing today? Who has the most expertise in this field, and who is
or is not doing it in terms of other governments?
During the Korean war there was a lot of serious discussion about brainwashing techniques
being used by the North Koreans, and I am interested in finding out what the state of the art is
today, as you see it.
Mr. GITTINGER. Well, of course, there, has been a great deal of work on this, and there is
still a great deal of controversy. I can tell you that as far as I knew, by 1961, 1962, it was at
least proven to my satisfaction that brainwashing, so called, is some kind of an esoteric device
where drugs or mind- altering kinds of conditions and so forth were used, did not exist even
though "The Manchurian Candidate" as a Movie really set us back a long time, because it
made something impossible look plausible. Do you follow what I mean? But by 1962 and
1963, the general idea that we were able to come up with is that brainwashing was largely a
process of isolating a human being, keeping him out of contact, putting him under long stress
in relationship to interviewing and interrogation, and that they could produce any change that
way without having to resort to any kind of esoteric means.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Are there ways that we can ascertain this from a distance when we
see a captive prisoner either go on television, in a photograph, or at a press conference? In
other words, are there certain signs that you have learned to recognize from your technical
background, to tell when brainwashing has occurred? Or is that very difficult to do?
Mr. GITTINGER. It is difficult to do. I think it is possible now in terms of looking at a
picture of somebody who has been in enemy hands for a long period of time. We can get some
pretty good ideas of what kind of circumstances he has been under, if that is what you mean.

Before adjourning the hearings, I would like to have the record show that Dr. Goldman and
Mr. Gittinger have voluntarily cooperated with the committee in staff interviews, that they
appear this morning voluntarily, and they are not under subpoena.
Gentlemen, I realize that this experience may have been an unhappy one and possibly a
painful one. Therefore, we thank you very much for participating this morning. We also
realize that the circumstances of that time differed very much from this day, and possibly the
national attitude, the national political attitude condoned this type of activity. So, we have not
asked you to come here as persons who have committed crimes, but rather in hope that you
can assist us in studying this problem so that it will not occur once again. In that spirit we
thank you for your participation, and we look forward to working with you further in this case.
Thank you very much.
Senator KENNEDY. Mr. Chairman, I would like also to thank the witnesses. These are
difficult matters, and I think all of us are very grateful.
Senator SCHWEIKER. I think the witnesses should know that though it may not always
seem that way, what we are trying to do is to probe the past and look at the policies of the past
to affect the future. I think our emphasis really is on the future, not the past, but it is important
that we learn from the past as we formulate policies and legislation for the future, I hope that
all of the witnesses who did come before us voluntarily this morning, including Admiral
Turner respect the fact that we are questioning the past to learn about the future. I think it
should be looked at in that light.
Senator KENNEDY. I think that is the spirit in which we have had these hearings. It seems to
me that from both these witnesses and others, Gottlieb knows the information and can best
respond, and we are going to make every effort in the Senate Health Committee to get Mr.
Gottlieb to appear, and we obviously look forward to cooperating with Senator Inouye and the
other members of the committee in getting the final chapter written on this, but we want to
thank you very much for your appearance here.
Senator INOUYE. The hearing will stand in recess, subject to the call of the Chair.

APPENDIX A
XVII. Testing And Use Of Chemical And Biological Agents By The
Under its mandate [1] the Select Committee has studied the testing and use of chemical and
biological agents by intelligence agencies. Detailed descriptions of the programs conducted
by intelligence agencies involving chemical and biological agents will be included in a
separately published appendix to the Senate Select Committee's report. This section of the
report will discuss the rationale for the programs, their monitoring and control, and what the
Committee's investigation has revealed about the relationships among the intelligence
agencies and about their relations with other government agencies and private institutions
and individuals. [2]
Fears that countries hostile to the United States would use chemical and biological agents
against Americans or America's allies led to the development of a defensive program
designed to discover techniques for American intelligence agencies to detect and counteract
chemical and biological agents. The defensive orientation soon became secondary as the
possible use of these agents to obtain information from, or gain control over, enemy agents
became apparent.
Research and development programs to find materials which could be used to alter human
behavior were initiated in the late 1940s and early 1950s. These experimental programs
originally included testing of drugs involving witting human subjects, and culminated in tests
using unwitting, nonvolunteer human subjects. These tests were designed to determine the
potential effects of chemical or biological agents when used operationally against individuals
unaware that they had received a drug.
The testing programs were considered highly sensitive by the intelligence agencies
administering them. Few people, even within the agencies, knew of the programs and there is
no evidence that either the executive branch or Congress were ever informed of them. The
highly compartmented nature of these programs may be explained in part by an observation
made by the CIA Inspector General that, "the knowledge that the Agency is engaging in
unethical and illicit activi-

[1] Senate Resolution 21 directs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities to investigate a number
of issues:
"(a) Whether agencies within the intelligence community conducted illegal domestic activities (Section 2 (1)
and (2));
"(b) The extent to which agencies within the intelligence community cooperate (Section 2 (4) and (8));
"(c) The adequacy of executive branch and congressional oversight of intelligence activities (Section 2 (7) and
(11));
"(d) The adequacy of existing laws to safeguard the rights of American citizens (Section 2 (13))."
[2] The details of these programs may never be known. The programs were highly compartmented. Few records
were kept. What little documentation existed for the CIA's principal program was destroyed early in 1973.
(65)
-66ties would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles and would be
detrimental to the accomplishment of its missions." [3]
The research and development program, and particularly the covert testing programs,
resulted in massive abridgments of the rights of American citizens, sometimes with tragic
consequences The deaths of two Americans [3a] can be attributed to these programs; other
participants in the testing programs may still suffer from the residual effects. While some
controlled testing of these substances might be defended, the nature of the tests, their scale,
and the fact that they were continued for years after the danger of surreptitious
administration of LSD to unwitting individuals was known, demonstrate a fundamental
disregard for the value of human life.
The Select Committee's investigation of the testing and use of chemical and biological agents
also raise serious questions about the adequacy of command and control procedures within
the Central Intelligence Agency and military intelligence, and about the relationships among
the intelligence agencies, other governmental agencies, and private institutions and
individuals. The CIA's normal administrative controls were waived for programs involving
chemical and biological agents to protect their security. According to the head of the Audit
Branchof the CIA, these waivers produced "gross administrative failures." They prevented
the CIA's internal review mechanisms (the Office of General Counsel, the Inspector General,
and the Audit Staff) from adequately supervising the programs. In general, the waivers had
the paradoxical effect of providing less restrictive administrative controls and less effective
internal review for controversial and highly sensitive projects than those governing normal
Agency activities.
The security of the programs was protected not only by waivers of normal administrative
controls, but also by a high degree of compartmentation within the CIA. This
compartmentation excluded the CIA's Medical Staff from the principal research and testing

program employing chemical and biological agents.

It also may have led to agency policymakers receiving differing and inconsistent responses
when they posed questions to the CIA component involved.
Jurisdictional uncertainty within the CIA was matched by jurisdictional conflict among the
various intelligence agencies. A spirit of cooperation and reciprocal exchanges of
information which initially characterized the programs disappeared. Military testers withheld
information from the CIA, ignoring suggestions for coordination from their superiors. The
CIA similarly failed to provide information to the military on the CIA's testing program. This
failure to cooperate was conspicuously manifested in an attempt by the Army to conceal
[3] CIA Inspector General's Survey of TSD, 1957, p. 217.

[3a] On January 8, 1953, Mr. Harold Blauer died of circulatory collapse and heart failure following an
intravenous injection of a synthetic mescaline derivative while a subject of tests conducted by New York State
Psychiatric Institute under a contract let by the U.S. Army Chemical Corps. The Committee's investigation into
drug testing by U.S. intelligence agencies focused on the testing of LSD, however, the committee did receive a
copy of the U.S. Army Inspector General's Report, issued on October 1975, on the events and circumstances of
Mr. Blauer's death. His death was directly attributable to the administration of the synthetic mescaline
derivative.
-67their overseas testing program, which included surreptitious administration of LSD, from the
CIA. Learning of the Army's program, the Agency surreptitiously attempted to gain details
of it.
The decision to institute one of the Army's LSD field testing projects had been based, at least
in part, on the finding that no long-term residual effects had ever resulted from the drug's
administration. The CIA's failure to inform the Army of a death which resulted from the
surreptitious administration of LSD to unwitting Americans may well have resulted in the
institution of an unnecessary and potentially lethal program.
The development, testing, and use of chemical and biological agents by intelligence agencies
raises serious questions about the relationship between the intelligence community and
foreign governments, other agencies of the Federal Government, and other institutions and
individuals. The questions raised range from the legitimacy of American complicity in
actions abroad which violate American and foreign laws to the possible compromise of the
integrity of public and private institutions used as cover by intelligence agencies.

Project CHATTER was a Navy program that began in the fall of 1947. Responding to
reports of "amazing results" achieved by the Soviets in using "truth drugs," the program
focused on the identification and testing of such drugs for use in interrogations and in the
recruitment of agents. The research included laboratory experiments on animals and human
subjects involving Anabasis aphylla, scopolamine, and mescaline in order to determine their
speech-inducing qualities. Overseas experiments were conducted as part of the project.
The project expanded substantially during the Korean War, and ended shortly after the war,
in 1953.
2. Project BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE
The earliest of the CIA's major programs involving the use of chemical and biological
agents, Project BLUEBIRD, was approved by the Director in 1950. Its objectives were:
(a) discovering means of conditioning personnel to prevent unauthorized extraction of
information from them by known means, (b) investigating the possibility of control of an
individual by application of special interrogation techniques, (c) memory enhancement, and (d)
establishing defensive means for preventing hostile control of Agency personnel. [4]
As a result of interrogations conducted overseas during the project, another goal was added - the evaluation of offensive uses of unconventional interrogation techniques, including
hypnosis and drugs. In August 1951, the project was renamed ARTICHOKE. Project
ARTICHOKE included in-house experiments on interrogation techniques, conducted "under
medical and security controls which would ensure
[4] CIA memorandum to the Select Committee, "Behavioral Drugs and Testing," 2/11/75.
-68that no damage was done to individuals who volunteer for the experiments. [5] Overseas
interrogations utilizing a combination of sodium pentothal and hypnosis after physical and
psychiatric examinations of the subjects were also part of ARTICHOKE.
The Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI), which studied scientific advances by hostile
powers, initially led BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE efforts. In 1952, overall responsibility for
ARTICHOKE was transferred from OSI to the Inspection and Security Office (I&SO),
predecessor to the present Office of Security. The CIA's Technical Services and Medical
Staffs were to be called upon as needed; OSI would retain liaison function with other
government agencies. [6] The change in leadership from an intelligence unit to an operating
unit apparently reflected a change in emphasis; from the study of actions by hostile powers
to the use, both for offensive and defensive purposes, of special interrogation techniques -primarily hypnosis and truth serums.

Representatives from each Agency unit involved in ARTICHOKE met almost monthly to
discuss their progress. These discussions included the planning of overseas interrogations [8]
as well as further experimentation in the U.S.
Information about project ARTICHOKE after the fall of 1953 is scarce. The CIA maintains
that the project ended in 1956, but evidence suggests that Office of Security and Office of
Medical Services use of "special interrogation" techniques continued for several years
thereafter.
3. MKNAOMI
MKNAOMI was another major CIA program in this area. In 1967, the CIA summarized the
purposes of MKNAOMI:
(a) To provide for a covert support base to meet clandestine operational requirements.
(b) To stockpile severely incapacitating and lethal materials for the specific use of TSD
[Technical Services Division].
(c) To maintain in operational readiness special and unique items for the dissemination of
biological and chemical materials.
(d) To provide for the required surveillance, testing, upgrading, and evaluation of
materials and items in order to assure absence of defects and complete predictability of
results to be expected under operational conditions. [9]
Under an agreement reached with the Army in 1952, the Special Operations Division (SOD)
at Fort Detrick was to assist CIA in developing, testing, and maintaining biological agents

systems. By this agreement, CIA acquired the knowledge, skill, and facilities of the Army to
develop biological weapons suited for CIA use.
SOD developed darts coated with biological agents and pills containing several different
biological agents which could remain potent for weeks or months. SOD developed a special
gun for firing darts coated with a chemical which could allow CIA agents to incapacitate a
guard dog, enter an installation secretly, and return the dog to consciousness when leaving.
SOD scientists were unable to develop a similar incapacitant for humans. SOD also
physically transferred to CIA personnel biological agents in "bulk" form, and delivery
devices, including some containing biological agents.
In addition to the CIA's interest in biological weapons for use against humans, it also asked
SOD to study use of biological agents against crops and animals. In its 1967 memorandum,
the CIA stated:
Three methods and systems for carrying out a covert attack against crops and causing severe
crop loss have been developed and evaluated under field conditions. This was accomplished
in anticipation of a requirement which was later developed but was subsequently scrubbed
just prior to putting into action. [9a]
MKNAOMI was terminated in 1970. On November 25,1969, President Nixon renounced the
use of any form of biological weapons that kill or incapacitate and ordered the disposal of
existing stocks of bacteriological weapons. On February 14, 1970, the President clarified the
extent of his earlier order and indicated that toxins -- chemicals that are not living organisms
but are produced by living organisms -- were considered biological weapons subject to his
previous directive and were to be destroyed. Although instructed to relinquish control of
material held for the CIA by SOD, a CIA scientist acquired approximately 11 grams of
shellfish toxin from SOD personnel at Fort Detrick which were stored in a little-used CIA
laboratory where it went undetected for five years. [10]
4. MKULTRA
MKULTRA was the principal CIA program involving the research and development of
chemical and biological agents. It was "concerned with the research and development of
chemical, biological, and radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine
operations to control human behavior." [11]
In January 1973, MKULTRA records were destroyed by Technical Services Division
personnel acting on the verbal orders of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, Chief of TSD. Dr. Gottlieb has
testified, and former Director Helms has confirmed, that in ordering the records destroyed,
Dr. Gottlieb was carrying out the verbal order of then DCI Helms.
MKULTRA began with a proposal from the Assistant Deputy Director for Plans, Richard
Helms, to the DCI, outlining a special

[11] Memorandum from the CIA Inspector General to the Director, 7/26/63.
-70funding mechanism for highly sensitive CIA research and development projects that studied
the use of biological and chemical materials in altering human behavior. The projects
involved:
Research to develop a capability in the covert use of biological and chemical materials. This
area involves the production of various physiological conditions which could support present
or future clandestine operations. Aside from the offensive potential, the development of a
comprehensive capability in this field of covert chemical and biological warfare gives us a
thorough knowledge of the enemy's theoretical potential, thus enabling us to defend
ourselves against a foe who might not be as restrained in the use of these techniques as we
are. [12]
MKULTRA was approved by the DCI on April 13, 1953 along the lines proposed by ADDP
Helms.
Part of the rationale for the establishment of this special funding mechanism was its extreme
sensitivity. The Inspector General's survey of MKULTRA in 1963 noted the following
reasons for this sensitivity:
a. Research in the manipulation of human behavior is considered by many authorities in
medicine and related fields to be professionally unethical, therefore the reputation of
professional participants in the MKULTRA program are on occasion in jeopardy.
b. Some MKULTRA activities raise questions of legality implicit in the, original charter.
c. A final phase of the testing of MKULTRA products places the rights and interests of U.S.
citizens in jeopardy.
d. Public disclosure of some aspects of MKULTRA activity could induce serious adverse
reaction in U.S. public opinion. as well as stimulate offensive and defensive action in this
field on the part of foreign intelligence services. [13]
Over the ten-year life of the program, many "additional avenues to the control of human
behavior" were designated as appropriate for investigation under the MKULTRA charter.
These include "radiation, electroshock, various fields of psychology, psychiatry, sociology,
and anthropology, graphology, harassment substances, and paramilitary devices and
materials." [14]
The research and development of materials to be used for altering human behavior consisted
of three phases: first, the search for materials suitable for study; second, laboratory testing on
voluntary human subjects in various types of institutions; third, the application of
MKULTRA materials in normal life settings.

-71zations. The annual grants of funds to these specialists were made under ostensible research
foundation auspices, thereby concealing the CIA's interest from the specialist's institution.
The next phase of the MKULTRA program involved physicians, toxicologists, and other
specialists in mental, narcotics, and general hospitals, and in prisons. Utilizing the products
and findings of the basic research phase, they conducted intensive tests on human subjects.
One of the first studies was conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health. This study
was intended to test various drugs, including hallucinogenics, at the NIMH Addiction
Research Center in Lexington, Kentucky. The "Lexington Rehabilitation Center," as it was
then called, was a prison for drug addicts serving sentences for drug violations.
The test subjects were volunteer prisoners who, after taking a brief physical examination and
signing a general consent form, were administered hallucinogenic drugs. As a reward for
participation in the program, the addicts were provided with the drug of their addiction.
LSD was one of the materials tested in the MKULTRA program. The final phase of LSD
testing involved surreptitious administration to unwitting nonvolunteer subjects in normal
life settings by undercover officers of the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA.
The rationale for such testing was "that testing of materials under accepted scientific
procedures fails to disclose the full pattern of reactions and attributions that may occur in
operational situations." [15]
According to the CIA, the advantage of the relationship with the Bureau was that
test subjects could be sought and cultivated within the setting of narcotics control. Some subjects
have been informers or members of suspect criminal elements from whom the [Bureau of
Narcotics] has obtained results of operational value through the tests. On the other hand, the
effectiveness of the substances on individuals at all social levels, high and low, native American
and foreign, is of great significance and testing has been performed on a variety of individuals
within these categories. [Emphasis added.] [16]
A special procedure, designated MKDELTA, was established to govern the use of

MKULTRA materials abroad. Such materials were used on a number of occasions. Because

MKULTRA records were destroyed, it is impossible to reconstruct the operational use of

MKULTRA materials by the CIA overseas; it has been determined that the use of these
materials abroad began in 1953, and possibly as early as 1950.
Drugs were used primarily as an aid to interrogations, but MKULTRA/MKDELTA materials
were also used for harassment, discrediting, or disabling purposes. According to an Inspector
General Survey of the Technical Services Division of the CIA in 1957 -- an inspection which
did not discover the MKULTRA project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD to
unwitting, nonvolunteer
[15] Ibid, P. 21.

[16] Ibid., pp. 11-12.
-72subjects -- the CIA had developed six drugs for operational use and they had been used in six
different operations on a total of thirty-three subjects. [17] By 1963 the number of operations
and subjects had increased substantially.
In the spring of 1963, during a wide-ranging Inspector General survey of the Technical
Services Division, a member of the Inspector General's staff, John Vance, learned about
MKULTRA and about the project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD to
unwitting, nonvoluntary human subjects. As a result of the discovery and the Inspector
General's subsequent report, this testing was halted and much tighter administrative controls
were imposed on the program. According to the CIA, the project was decreased significantly
each budget year until its complete termination in the late 1960s.
5. The Testing of LSD by the Army
There were three major phases in the Army's testing of LSD. In the first, LSD was
administered to more than 1,000 American soldiers who volunteered to be subjects in
chemical warfare experiments. In the second phase, Material Testing Program EA 1729, 95
volunteers received LSD in clinical experiments designed to evaluate potential intelligence
uses of the drug. In the third phase, Projects THIRD CHANCE and DERBY HAT, 16
unwitting nonvolunteer subjects were interrogated after receiving LSD as part of operational
field tests.

1977 Senate MKULTRA Hearing: Appendix A--Testing and Use of Chemical and Biol... Page 10 of 43
The late 1910s and early 1950s were marked by concern over the threat posed by the
activities of the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, and other Communist bloc
countries. United States concern over the use of chemical and biological agents by these
powers was acute. The belief that hostile powers had used chemical and biological agents in
interrogations, brainwashing, and in attacks designed to harass, disable, or kill Allied
personnel created considerable pressure for a "defensive" program to investigate chemical
and biological agents so that the intelligence community could understand the mechanisms
by which these substances worked and how their effects could be defeated. [18]
Of particular concern was the drug LSD. The CIA had received reports that the Soviet Union
was engaged in intensive efforts to produce LSD; and that the Soviet Union had attempted to
purchase the world's supply of the chemical. As one CIA officer who was deeply involved in
work with this drug described the climate of the times: "[It] is awfully hard in this day and
age to reproduce how frightening all of this was to us at the time, particularly after the drug
scene has become as widespread and as knowledgeable in this country as it did. But we were
literally terrified, because this was the one material that we
[17] Ibid, 1957, p. 201.

[18] Thus an officer in the Office of Security of the CIA stressed the "urgency of the discovery of techniques
and method that would permit our personnel, in the event of their capture by the enemy, to resist or defeat
enemy interrogation." (Minutes of the ARTICHOKE conference of 10/22/53.)
-73had ever been able to locate that really had potential fantastic possibilities if used
wrongly." [19]
But the defensive orientation soon became secondary. Chemical and biological agents were
to be studied in order "to perfect techniques... for the abstraction of information from
individuals whether willing or not" and in order to "develop means for the control of the
activities and mental capacities of individuals whether willing or not." [20] One Agency
official noted that drugs would be useful in order to "gain control of bodies whether they
were willing or not" in the process of removing personnel from Europe in the event of a
Soviet attack. [21] In other programs, the CIA began to develop, produce, stockpile, and
maintain in operational readiness materials which could be used to harass, disable, or kill
specific targets. [22]
Reports of research and development in the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China,
and the Communist Bloc countries provided the basis for the transmutation of American
programs from a defensive to an offensive orientation. As the Chief of the Medical Staff of
the Central Intelligence Agency wrote in 1952:
There is ample evidence in the reports of innumerable interrogations that the Communists were
utilizing drugs, physical duress, electric shock, and possibly hypnosis against their enemies.
With such evidence it is difficult not to keep from becoming rabid about our apparent laxity. We

are forced by this mounting evidence to assume a more aggressive role in the development of
these techniques, but must be cautious to maintain strict inviolable control because of the havoc
that could be wrought by such techniques in unscrupulous hands. [23]
In order to meet the perceived threat to the national security, substantial programs for the
testing and use of chemical and biological agents -- including projects involving the
surreptitious administration of LSD to unwitting nonvolunteer subjects "at all social levels,
high and low, native American and foreign" -- were conceived, and implemented. These
programs resulted in substantial violations of the rights of individuals within the United
States.

[21] ARTICHOKE memorandum, 7/30/53.
[22] The Inspector General's Report of 1957 on the Technical Services Division noted that "Six specific
products have been developed and are available for operational use. Three of them are discrediting and
disabling materials which can be administered unwittingly and permit the exercise of a measure of control over
the actions of the subject."
A memorandum for the Chief, TSD, Biological Branch to the Chief, TSD, 10/18/67, described two of the
objectives of the CIA's Project MKNAOMI as: "to stockpile severely incapacitating and lethal materials for the
specific use of TSD and "to maintain in operational readiness special and unique items for the dissemination of
biological and chemical materials."
[23] Memorandum from the Chief of the Medical Staff, 1/25/52.
-74Although the CIA recognized these effects of LSD to unwitting individuals within the United
States, the project continued. As the Deputy Director for Plans, Richard Helms, wrote the
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence during discussions which led to tile cessation of
unwitting testing:
While I share your uneasiness and distaste for any program which tends to intrude upon an
individual's private and legal prerogatives, I believe it is necessary that the Agency maintain
a central role in this activity, keep current on enemy capabilities the manipulation of human
behavior, and maintain an offensive capability. [25]
There were no attempts to secure approval for the most controversial aspects of these
programs from the executive branch or Congress. The nature and extent of the programs
were closely held secrets; even DCI McCone was not briefed on all the details of the
program involving the surreptitious administration of LSD until 1963. It was deemed
imperative that these programs be concealed from the American people. As the CIA's
Inspector General wrote in 1957:

Precautions must be taken not only to protect operations from exposure to enemy forces but
also to conceal these activities from the American public in general. The knowledge that the
Agency is engaging in unethical and illicit activities would have serious repercussions in
political and diplomatic circles and would be detrimental to the accomplishment of its
mission. [26]
2. The Death of Dr. Frank Olson
The most tragic result of the testing of LSD by the CIA was the death of Dr. Frank Olson, a
civilian employee of the Army, who died on November 27, 1953. His death followed his
participation in a CIA experiment with LSD. As part of this experiment, Olson unwittingly
received approximately 70 micrograms of LSD in a glass of Cointreau he drank on
November 19, 1953. The drug had been placed in the bottle by a CIA officer, Dr. Robert
Lashbrook, as part of an experiment he and Dr. Sidney Gottlieb performed at a meeting of
Army and CIA scientists.
Shortly after this experiment, Olson exhibited symptoms of paranoia and schizophrenia.
Accompanied by Dr. Lashbrook, Olson sought psychiatric assistance in New York City from
a physician, Dr. Harold Abramson, whose research on LSD had been funded indirectly by
the CIA. While in New York for treatment, Olson fell to his death from a tenth story window
in the Statler Hotel.
[24] Even during the discussions which led to the termination of the unwitting testing, the DDP turned down
the option of halting such tests within the. U.S. and continuing them abroad despite the fact that the Technical
Services Division had conducted numerous operations abroad making use of LSD. The DDP made this decision
on the basis of security noting that the past efforts, overseas had resulted in "making an inordinate number of
foreign nationals witting of our role in the very sensitive activity." (Memorandum for the Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence from the Deputy Director for Plans, 12/17/63, p. 2.)

Professionally, Olson was well respected by his colleagues in both the Army and the CIA.
Colonel Vincent Ruwet, Olson's immediate superior at the time of his death, was in almost
daily contact with Olson. According to Colonel Ruwet: "As a professional man... his
ability... was outstanding." [28] Colonel Ruwet stated that "during the period prior to the
experiment... I noticed nothing which would lead me to believe that he was of unsound
mind." [29] Dr. Lashbrook, who had monthly contacts with Olson from early 1952 until the
time of his death, stated publicly that before Olson received LSD, "as far as I know, he was
perfectly normal." [30] This assessment is in direct contradiction to certain statements
evaluating Olson's emotional stability made in CIA internal memorandum written after
Olson's death.
b. The Experiment. -- On November 18, 1953, a group of ten scientists from the CIA and
Camp Detrick attended a semi-annual review and analysis conference at a cabin located at
Deep Creek Lake, Maryland. Three of the participants were from the CIA's Technical
Services Staff. The Detrick representatives were all from the Special Operations Division.
According to one CIA official, the Special Operations Division participants "agreed that an
unwitting experiment would be desirable." [31] This account directly contradicts Vincent
Ruwet's recollection. Ruwet recalls no such discussion, and has asserted that he would
remember any such discussion because the SOD participants would have strenuously
objected to testing on unwitting subjects. [32]
In May, 1953, Richard Helms, Assistant DDP, held a staff meeting which the Chief of
Technical Services Staff attended. At this meeting Helms "indicated that the drug [LSD] was
dynamite and that he should be advised at all times when it was intended to use it." [33] In
addition, the then DDP, Frank Wisner, sent a memorandum to TSS stating the requirement
that the DDP personally approve the use of LSD. Gottlieb went ahead with the experiment,
[34] securing the ap-

proval of his immediate supervisor. Neither the Chief of TSS nor the DDP specifically
authorized the experiment in which Dr. Olson participated. [35]
According to Gottlieb, [36] " a "very small dose" of LSD was placed in a bottle of Cointreau
which was served after dinner on Thursday, November 19. The drug was placed in the
liqueur by Robert Lashbrook. All but two of tie SOD participants received LSD. One did not
drink; the other had a heart condition. [37] About twenty minutes after they finished their
Cointreau, Gottlieb informed the other participants that they had received LSD.
Dr. Gottlieb stated that "up to the time of the experiment," he observed nothing unusual in
Olson's behavior. [37a] Once the experiment was underway, Gottlieb recalled that "the drug
had a definite effect on the group to the point that they were boisterous and laughing and
they could not continue the meeting or engage in sensible conversation." The meeting
continued until about 1: 00 a.m., when the participants retired for the evening. Gottlieb
recalled that Olson, among others, complained of "wakefulness" during the night. [38]
According to Gottlieb on Friday morning "aside from some evidence of fatigue, I observed
nothing unusual in [Olson's] actions, conversation, or general behavior." [39] Ruwet recalls
that Olson "appeared to be agitated" at breakfast, but that he "did not consider this to be
abnormal under the circumstances." [40]
c. The Treatment. -- The following Monday, November 23, Olson was waiting for Ruwet
when he came in to work at 7:30 a.m. For the next two days Olson's friends and family
attempted to reassure him and help him "snap out" of what appeared to be a serious
depression. On Tuesday, Olson again came to Ruwet and, after an hour long con-
[35] Dr. Gottlieb testified that "given the information we knew up to this time, and based on a lot of our own
self-administration, we thought it was a fairly benign substance in terms of potential harm." This is in conflict
not only with Mr. Helms' statement but also with material which had been supplied to the Technical Services
Staff. In one long memorandum on current research with LSD which was supplied to TSD, Henry Beecher
described the dangers involved with such research in a prophetic manner. "The second reason to doubt
Professor Rothland came when I raised the question as to any accidents which had arisen from the use of LSD25. He said in a very positive way, 'none.' As it turned out this answer could be called overly positive, for later
on in the evening I was discussing the matter with Dr. W. A. Stohl, Jr., a psychiatrist in Bleulera's Clinic in
Zurich where I had gone at Rothland's insistence. Stohl, when asked the same question, replied, 'yes,' and added
spontaneously, 'there is a case Professor Rothland knows about. In Geneva a woman physician who had been
subject to depression to some extent took LSD-25 in an experiment and became severely and suddenly
depressed and committed suicide three weeks later. While the connection is not definite, common knowledge of
this could hardly have allowed the positive statement Rothland permitted himself. This case is a warning to us
to avoid engaging subjects who are depressed, or who have been subject to depression.'" Dr. Gottlieb testified
that he had no recollection of either the report or that particular section of it. (Sidney Gottlieb testimony,
10/19/75, p. 78.)

[40] Ruwet memorandum, p. 3.
-77versation, it was decided that medical assistance for Dr. Olson was desirable. [41]
Ruwet then called Lashbrook and informed him that "Dr. Olson was in serious trouble and
needed immediate professional attention." [42] Lashbrook agreed to make appropriate
arrangements and told Ruwet to bring Olson to Washington, D.C. Ruwet and Olson
proceeded to Washington to meet with Lashbrook, and the three left for New York at about
2:30 p.m. to meet with Dr. Harold Abramson.
At that time Dr. Abramson was an allergist and immunologist practicing medicine in New
York City. He held no degree in psychiatry, but was associated with research projects
supported indirectly by the CIA. Gottlieb and Dr. Lashbrook both followed his work closely
in the early 1950s. [43] Since Olson needed medical help, they turned to Dr. Abramson as
the doctor closest to Washington who was experienced with LSD and cleared by the CIA.
Ruwet, Lashbrook, and Olson remained in New York for two days of consultations with
Abramson. On Thursday, November 26, 1953, the three flew back to Washington so that
Olson could spend Thanksgiving with his family. En route from the airport Olson told Ruwet
that he was afraid to face his family. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided that Olson
and Lashbrook would return to New York, and that Ruwet would go to Frederick to explain
these events to Mrs. Olson. [44]
Lashbrook and Olson flew back to New York the same day, again for consultations with
Abramson. They spent Thursday night in a Long Island hotel and the next morning returned
to the city with Abramson. In further discussions with Abramson, it was agreed that Olson
should be placed under regular psychiatric care at an institution closer to his home. [45]
d. The Death. -- Because they could not obtain air transportation for a return trip on Friday
night, Lashbrook and Olson made reservations for Saturday morning and checked into the
Statler Hotel. Between the time they checked in and 10:00 p.m.; they watched television,
visited the cocktail lounge, where each had two martinis, and dinner. According to
Lashbrook, Olson "was cheerful and appeared to enjoy the entertainment." He "appeared no
longer particularly depressed, and almost the Dr. Olson I knew prior to the experiment." [46]
After dinner Lashbrook and Olson watched television for about an hour, and at 11:00, Olson
suggested that they go to bed, saying that "he felt more relaxed and contented than he had
since [they] came to New York." [47] Olson then left a call with the hotel operator to wake
them in the morning. At approximately 2:30 a.m. Saturday, November 28. Lashbrook was
awakened by a loud "crash of glass." In his report on the incident, he stated only that Olson
"had crashed through the closed window blind and the closed window and he fell to his death
from the window of our room on the 10th floor." [48]

-78Immediately after finding that Olson had leapt to his death, Lashbrook telephoned Gottlieb at
his home and informed him of the incident. [49] Gottlieb called Ruwet and informed him of
Olson's death at approximately 2:45 a.m. [50] Lashbrook then called the hotel desk and
reported the incident to the operator there. Lashbrook called Abramson and informed him of
the occurrence. Abramson told Lashbrook he "wanted to be kept out of the thing
completely," but later changed his mind and agreed to assist Lashbrook. [51]
Shortly thereafter, uniformed police officers and some hotel employees came to Lashbrook's
room. Lashbrook told the police he didn't know why Olson had committed suicide, but he
did know that Olson "suffered from ulcers." [52]
e. The Aftermath. -- Following Dr. Olson's death, the CIA made a substantial effort to ensure
that his family received death benefits, but did not notify the Olsons of the circumstances
surrounding his demise. The Agency also made considerable efforts to prevent the death
being connected with the CIA, and supplied complete cover for Lashbrook so that his
association with the CIA would remain a secret.
After Dr. Olson's death the CIA conducted an internal investigation of the incident. As part
of his responsibilities in this investigation, the General Counsel wrote the Inspector General,
stating:
I'm not happy with what seems to be a very casual attitude on the part of TSS representatives
to the way this experiment was conducted and the remarks that this is just one of the risks
running with scientific experimentation. I do not eliminate the need for taking risks, but I do
believe, especially when human health or life is at stake, that at least the prudent, reasonable
measures which can be taken to minimize the risk must be taken and failure to do so was
culpable negligence. The actions of the various individuals concerned after effects of the
experiment on Dr. Olson became manifest also revealed the failure to observe normal and
reasonable precautions. [53]
As a result of the investigation DCI Allen Dulles sent a personal letter to the Chief of
Technical Operations of the Technical Services Staff who had approved the experiment
criticizing him for "poor judgment... in authorizing the use of this drug on such an unwitting
basis and without proximate medical safeguards." [54] Dulles also sent a letter to Dr.
Gottlieb, Chief of the Chemical Division of the Technical Services Staff, criticizing him for
recommending the "unwitting application of the drug" in that the proposal "did not give
sufficient emphasis for medical collaboration and for the proper consideration of the rights of

-79The letters were hand carried to the individuals to be read and returned. Although the letters
were critical, a note from the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence to Mr. Helms
instructed him to inform the individuals that: "These are not reprimands and no personnel
file notation are being made." [56]
Thus, although the Rockefeller Commission has characterized them as such, these notes
were explicitly not reprimands. Nor did participation in the events which led to Dr. Olson's
death have any apparent effect on the advancement within the CIA of the individuals
involved.
3. The Surreptitious Administration of LSD to Unwitting NonVolunteer Human Subjects by
the CIA After the Death of Dr. Olson
The death of Dr. Olson could be viewed, as some argued at the time, as a tragic accident, one
of the risks inherent in the testing of new substances. It might be argued that LSD was
thought to be benign. After the death of Dr. Olson the dangers of the surreptitious
administration of LSD were clear, yet the CIA continued or initiated [57] a project involving
the surreptitious administration of LSD to nonvolunteer human subjects. This program
exposed numerous individuals in the United States to the risk of death or serious injury
without their informed consent, without medical supervision, and without necessary followup to determine any long-term effects.
Prior to the Olson experiment, the Director of Central Intelligence had approved
MKULTRA, a research program designed to develop a "capability in the covert use of
biological and chemical agent materials." In the proposal describing MKULTRA Mr. Helms,
then ADDP, wrote the Director that:
we intend to investigate the development of a chemical material which causes a reversible nontoxic aberrant mental state, the specific nature of which can be reasonably well predicted for
each individual. This material 'could potentially aid in discrediting individuals, eliciting
information, and implanting suggestions and other forms of mental control. [58]
On February 12, 1954, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency wrote TSS officials

criticizing them for "poor judgment" in administering LSD on "an unwitting basis and
without proximate medical safeguards" to Dr. Olson and for the lack of "proper
consideration of the rights of the individual to whom it was being administered." [59] On the
same day, the Inspector General reviewed a report on Subproject Number 3 of MKULTRA,
in which the same TSS officers who had just received letters from the Director were quoted
as stating that one of the purposes of Subproject Number 3 was to
[56] Note from DDCI to Richard Helms, 2/13/54.

[57] The 1963 IG Report, which described the project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD, placed
the project beginning In 1955. Other CIA documents reveal that it was in existence as early as February 1954.
The CIA has told the Committee that the project began in 1953 and that the experiment which led to Dr.
Olson's death was part of the project.

-80"observe the behavior of unwitting persons being questioned after having been given a
drug." [60] There is no evidence that Subproject Number 3 was terminated even though the
officers were unequivocally aware of the dangers of the surreptitious administration of LSD
and the necessity of obtaining informed consent and providing medical safeguards.
Subproject Number 3, in fact, used methods which showed even less concern than did the
OLSON experiment for the safety and security of the participants. Yet the evidence indicates
the project continued until 1963. [61]
In the project, the individual conducting the test might make initial contact with a
prospective subject selected at random in a bar. He would then invite the person to a
"safehouse" where the test drug was administered to the subject through drink or in food.
CIA personnel might debrief the individual conducting the test, or observe the test by using a
one-way mirror and tape recorder in an adjoining room.
Prior consent was obviously not obtained from any of the subjects. There was also,
obviously, no medical prescreening. In addition, the tests were conducted by individuals who
were not qualified scientific observers. There were no medical personnel on hand either to
administer the drugs or to observe their effects, and no follow-up was conducted on the test
subjects.
As the Inspector General noted in 1963:
A significant limitation on the effectiveness of such testing is the infeasibility of performing
scientific observation of results. The [individuals conducting the test] are not qualified scientific
observers. Their subjects are seldom accessible beyond the first hours of the test. The testing
may be useful in perfecting delivery techniques, and in identifying surface characteristics of
onset, reaction, attribution, and side-effect. [62]
This was particularly troublesome as in a

number of instances,... the test subject has become ill for hours or days, including hospitalization
in at least one case, and the agent could only follow up by guarded inquiry after the test subject's
return to normal life. Possible sickness and attendant economic loss are inherent contingent
effects of the testing. [61]
Paradoxically, greater care seems to have been taken for the safety of foreign nationals
against whom LSD was used abroad. In several cases medical examinations were performed
prior to the use of LSD. [64]
[60] Memorandum to Inspector General from Chief, Inspection and Review, on Subproject #3 of MKULTRA,
2/10/54.
[61] IG Report on MKULTRA, 1903.
[62] Ibid., p. 12.
[63] Ibid. According to the IG's survey in 1963, physicians associated with MKULTRA could be made
available in an emergency.
[64] The Technical Services Division which was responsible for the operational use of LSD abroad took the
position that "no physical examination of the subject is required prior to administration of [LSD] by TSS
trained personnel. A physician need not be present. There is no danger medically in the use of this material as
handled by TSS trained personnel." The Office of Medical Services had taken the position that LSD was
"medically dangerous." Both the Office of Security and the Office of Medical Services argued that LSD
"should not be administered unless preceded by a medical examination... and should be administered only by or
in the presence of a physician who had studied it and its effect." (Memorandum from James Angleton, Chief,
Counterintelligence Staff to Chief of Operations, 12/12/57, pp. 1-2.
-81Moreover, the administration abroad was marked by constant observation made possible
because the material was being used against prisoners of foreign intelligence or security
organizations. Finally, during certain of the LSD interrogations abroad, local physicians
were on call, though these physicians had had no experience with LSD and would not be told
that hallucinogens had been administered. [65]
The CIA's project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD to unwitting human
subjects in the United States was finally halted in 1963, as a result of its discovery during the
course of an Inspector General survey of the Technical Services Division. When the
Inspector General learned of the project, he spoke to the Deputy Director for Plans, who
agreed that the Director should be briefed. The DDP made it clear that the DCI and his
Deputy were generally familiar with MKULTRA. He indicated, however, that he was not
sure it was necessary to brief the DDCI at that point.
On May 24,1963, the DDP advised the Inspector General that he had briefed the Director on
the MKULTRA program and in particular had covered the question of the surreptitious
administration of LSD to unwitting human subjects. According to the Inspector General, the
DDP said that "the Director indicated no disagreement and therefore the testing will
continue." [66]

One copy of an "Eyes Only" draft report on MKULTRA was prepared by the Inspector
General who recommended the termination of the surreptitious administration project. The
project was suspended following the Inspector General's report.
On December 17, 1963, Deputy Director for Plans Helms wrote a memo to the DDCI, who
with the Inspector General and the Executive Director-Comptroller had opposed the covert
testing. He noted two aspects of the problem: (1) "for over a decade the Clandestine Services
has had the mission of maintaining a capability for influencing human behavior;" and (2)
"testing arrangements in furtherance of this mission should be as operationally realistic and
yet as controllable as possible." Helms argued that the individuals must be "unwitting" as
this was "the only realistic method of maintaining the capability, considering the intended
operational use of materials to influence human behavior as the operational targets will
certainly be unwitting. Should the subjects of the testing not be unwitting, the program
would only be "pro forma" resulting in a "false sense of accomplishment and readiness." [67]
Helms continued:
[65] Physicians might be called with the hope that they would make a diagnosis of mental breakdown which
would be useful in discrediting the individual who was the subject of the CIA interest.
[66] Memorandum for the Record prepared by the Inspector General, 5/15/63, p. 1.
[67] Ibid., p. 2.
-82If one grants the validity of the mission of maintaining this unusual capability and the
necessity for unwitting testing, there is only then the question of how best to do it.
Obviously, the testing should be conducted in such a manner as to permit the opportunity to
observe the results of the administration on the target. It also goes without saying that
whatever testing arrangement we adopt must afford maximum safeguards for the protection
of the Agency's role in this activity, as well as minimizing the possibility of physical or
emotional damage to the individual tested. [68]
In another memo to the Director of Central Intelligence in June, 1964, Helms again raised
the issue of unwitting testing. At that time General Carter, then acting DCI, approved several
changes in the MKULTRA program proposed by Mr. Helms as a result of negotiations
between the Inspector General and the DDP. In a handwritten note, however, Director Carter
added that "unwitting testing will be subject to a separate decision." [69]
No specific decision was made then or soon after. The testing had been halted and, according
to Walter Elder, Executive Assistant to DCI McCone, the DCI was not inclined to take the
positive step of authorizing a resumption of the testing. At least through the summer, the
DDP did not press the issue. On November 9, 1964, the DDP raised the issue again in a
memo to the DCI, calling the Director's attention to what he described as "several other
indications during the past year of an apparent Soviet aggressiveness in the field of covertly
administered chemicals which are, to say the least, inexplicable and disturbing." [70]

Helms noted that because of the suspension of covert testing, the Agency's "positive
operational capability to use drugs is diminishing, owing to a lack of realistic testing. With
increasing knowledge of the state of the art, we are less capable of staying up with Soviet
advances in this field. This in turn results in a waning capability on our part to restrain others
in the intelligence community (such as the Department of Defense) from pursuing operations
in this area." [71]
Helms attributed the cessation of the unwitting testing to the high risk of embarrassment to
the Agency as well as the "moral problem." He noted that no better covert situation had been
devised than that which had been used, and that "we have no answer to the moral issue." [72]
Helms asked for either resumption of the testing project or its definitive cancellation. He
argued that the status quo of a research and development program without a realistic testing
program was causing the Agency to live "with the illusion of a capability which is becoming
minimal and furthermore is expensive." [73] Once again no formal action was taken in
response to the Helms' request.

-83From its beginning in the early 1950's until its termination in 1963, the program of
surreptitious administration of LSD to unwitting nonvolunteer human subjects demonstrates
a failure of the CIA's leadership to pay adequate attention to the rights of individuals and to
provide effective guidance to CIA employees. Though it was known that the testing was
dangerous, the lives of subjects were placed in jeopardy and their rights were ignored during
the ten years of testing which followed Dr. Olson's death. Although it was clear that the laws
of the United States were being violated, the testing continued. While the individuals
involved in the Olson experiment were admonished by the Director, at the same time they
were also told that they were not being reprimanded and that their "bad judgment" would not
be made part of their personnel records. When the covert testing project was terminated in
1963, none of the individuals involved were subject to any disciplinary action.
4. Monitoring and Control of the Testing and Use of Chemical and Biological Agents by the
CIA
The Select Committee found numerous failures in the monitoring and control of the testing
and use of chemical and biological agents within the CIA. [74] An analysis of the failures
can be divided into four sections: (a) the waiver of normal regulations or requirements; (b)

the problems in authorization procedures; (c) the failure of internal review mechanisms such
as the Office of General Counsel, the Inspector General, and the Audit Staff; and (d) the
effect of compartmentation and competition within the CIA.
a. The Waiver of Administrative Controls. -- The internal controls within any agency rest on:
(1) clear and coherent regulations; (2) clear lines of authority; and (3) clear rewards for those
who conduct themselves in accord with agency regulations and understandable and
immediate sanctions against those who do not. In the case of the testing and use of chemical
and biological agents, normal CIA administrative controls were waived. The destruction of
the documents on the largest CIA program in this area constituted a prominent example of
the waiver of normal Agency procedures by the Director.
These documents were destroyed in early 1973 at the order of then DCI Richard Helms.
According to Helms, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, then Director of TSD:
... came to me and said that he was retiring and that I was retiring and he thought it would be a
good idea if these files were destroyed. And I also believe part of the reason for our thinking this
was advisable was there had been relationships with outsiders in government agencies and other
organizations and that these would be sensitive in this kind of a thing but that since the program
was over and finished and done with, we thought we would just get rid of the files as
[74] Section 2(9) of S. Res. 21 instructs the Committee to examine: the "extent to which United States
intelligence agencies are governed by Executive Orders, rules, or regulations either published or secret."
-84well, so that anybody who assisted us in the past would not be subject to follow-up or questions,
embarrassment, if you will. [75]
The destruction was based on a waiver of an internal CIA regulation, CSI 70-10, which
regulated the "retirement of inactive records." As Thomas Karamessines, then Deputy
Director of Plans, wrote in regulation CSI-70-10: "Retirement is not a matter of convenience
or of storage but of conscious judgment in the application of the rules modified by
knowledge of individual component needs. The heart of this judgment is to ensure that the
complete story can be reconstructed in later years and by people who may be unfamiliar with
the events." [76]
The destruction of the MKULTRA documents made it impossible for the Select Committee
to determine the full range and extent of the largest CIA research program involving
chemical and biological agents. The destruction also prevented the CIA from locating and
providing medical assistance to the individuals who were subjects in the program. Finally, it
prevented the Committee from determining the full extent of the operations which made use
of materials developed in the MKULTRA program. [77]
From the inception of MKULTRA normal Agency procedures were waived. In 1953, Mr.
Helms, then Assistant Deputy Director for Plans, proposed the establishment of MKULTRA.

Under the proposal six percent of the research and development budget of TSD would be
expended "without the establishment of formal contractual relations" because contracts
would reveal government interest. Helms also voted that qualified individuals in the field
"are most reluctant to enter into signed agreements of any sort which connect them with this
activity since such a connection would jeopardize their professional reputa-
[75] Richard Helms testimony, 9/11/75, p. 5.

Many Agency documents recording confidential relationships with individuals and organizations are retained
without public disclosure. Moreover, in the case of MKULTRA the CIA had spent millions of dollars
developing both materials and delivery systems which could be used by the Clandestine Services; the
reconstruction of the research and development program would be difficult if not impossible, without the
documents, and at least one assistant to Dr. Gottlieb protested against the document destruction on those
grounds.
[76] Clandestine Services Institution (CSI) 70-10. When asked by the Select Committee about the regularity of
the procedure by which he authorized Dr. Gottlieb to destroy the MKULTRA records, Helms responded:
"Well, that's hard to say whether it would be part of the regular procedure or not, because the record destruction
program is conducted according to a certain pattern. There's a regular record destruction pattern in the Agency
monitored by certain people and done a certain way. So that anything outside of that, I suppose, would have
been unusual. In other words, there were documents being destroyed because somebody had raised this specific
issue rather than because they were encompassed in the regular records destruction program. So I think the
answer to your question is probably yes." (Helms testimony, 9/11/75, p. 6.)
[77] Even prior to the destruction of documents, the MKULTRA records were far from complete. As the
Inspector General noted in 1963:
"Files are notably incomplete, poorly organized, and lacking in evaluative statements that might give
perspective to management policies over time. A substantial portion of the MKULTRA record appears to rest in
the memories of the principal officers and is therefore almost certain to be lost with their departures." (IG
Report on MKULTRA, p. 23.)
-85tions". [78] Other Agency procedures, i.e., the forwarding of document, in support of
invoices and the provision for regular audit procedures, were also to be waived. On April 13,
1953, then DCI Allen Dulles approved MKULTRA, noting that security considerations
precluded handling the project through usual contractual agreements.
Ten years later investigations of MKULTRA by both the Inspector General and the Audit
Staff noted substantial deficiencies which resulted from the waivers. Because TSD had not
reserved the right to audit the books of contractors in MKULTRA, the CIA had been unable
to verify the use of Agency grants by a contractor. Another firm had failed to establish
controls and safeguards which would assure "proper accountability" in use of government
funds with the result that "funds have been used for purposes not contemplated by grants or
allowable under usual contract relationship." [79] The entire MKULTRA arrangement was
condemned for having administrative lines which were unclear, overly permissive controls,
and irresponsible supervision.

The head of the Audit Branch noted that inspections and audits: led us to see MKULTRA as
frequently having provided a device to escape normal administrative controls for research
that is not especially sensitive, as having allowed practices that produce gross administrative
failures, as having permitted the establishment of special relationships with unreliable
organizations on an unacceptable basis, and as having produced, on at least one occasion, a.
cavalier treatment of a bona fide contracting organization.
While admitting that there may be a need for special mechanisms for handling sensitive
projects, the Chief of the Audit Branch wrote that "both the terms of reference and the
ground rules for handling such special projects should be spelled out in advance so that
diversion from normal channels does not mean abandonment of controls.
Special procedures may be necessary to ensure the security of highly sensitive operations. To
prevent the erosion of normal internal control mechanisms, such waivers should not be
extended to less sensitive operations. Moreover, only those regulations which would
endanger security should be waived; to waive regulations generally would result in highly
sensitive and controversial projects having looser rather than stricter administrative controls.
MKNAOMI, the Fort Detrick CIA project for research and development of chemical and
biological agents, provides another example where efforts to protect the security of agency
activities overwhelmed administrative controls. No written records of the transfer of agents
such as anthrax or shellfish toxin were kept, "because of the sensitivity of the area and the
desire to keep any possible use of materials like this recordless." [81] The

[80] The memorandum suggested that administrative exclusions, because of the importance of such decisions,
should require the personal approval of the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence on an individual case basis.
Present CIA policy is that only the DCI can authorize certain exemptions from regulations.

-86result was that the Agency had no way of determining what materials were on hand, and
could not be certain whether delivery systems such as dart guns, or deadly substances such
as cobra venom had been issued to the field.
b. Authorization. -- The destruction of the documents regarding MKULTRA made it difficult
to determine at what level specific projects in the program were authorized. This problem is
not solely a result of the document destruction, however. Even at the height of MKULTRA
the IG noted that, at least with respect to the surreptitious administration of LSD, the
"present practice is to maintain no records of the planning and approval of test
programs." [82]

While it is clear that Allen Dulles authorized MKULTRA, the record is unclear as to who
authorized specific projects such as that involving the surreptitious administration of LSD to
unwitting nonvolunteer human subjects. Even given the sensitive and controversial nature of
the project, there is no evidence that when John McCone replaced Allen Dulles as the
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency he was briefed on the details of this project and
asked whether it should be continued . [83] Even during the 1963 discussions on the
propriety of unwitting testing, the DDP questioned whether it was "necessary to brief
General Carter", the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence and the Director's "alter ago,"
because CIA officers felt it necessary to keep details of the project restricted to an absolute
minimum number of people. [84]
In May of 1963, DDP Helms told the Inspector General that the covert testing program was
authorized because he had gone to the Director, briefed him on it and "the Director indicated
no disagreement and therefore the testing will continue." [85] Such authorization even for
noncontroversial matters is clearly less desirable than explicit authorization; in areas such as
the surreptitious administration of drugs, it is particularly undesirable. Yet according to
testimony
[82] IG Report on MKULTRA, 1963, p. 14.

[83] According to an assistant to Dr. Gottlieb, there were annual briefings of the DCI and the DDP on
MKULTRA by the Chief of TSD or his deputy. However, a Nay 15, 1963 Memorandum for the Record from
the Inspector General noted that Mr. McCone had not been briefed in detail about the program. Mr. McCone's
Executive Officer, Walter Elder, testified that it was "perfectly apparent to me" that neither Mr. McCone nor
General Carter, then the DDCI, was aware of the surreptitious administration project "or if they had been
briefed they had not understood it." (Elder, 12/18/75, p. 13.) Mr. McCone testified that lie "did not know"
whether he talked to anyone about the project but that no one had told him about it in a way that "would have
turned on all the lights." (John McCone testimony, 2/3/76, p. 10.)
[84] According to Elder's testimony, "no Deputy Director, to my knowledge, has ever been briefed or was it
ever thought necessary to brief them to the extent to which you would brief the Director."
[85] IG Memorandum for the Record. 5/15/63.
On the question of authorization of the covert testing program, Elder testified as follows:
"But my reasonable judgment is that this was considered to be in the area of continuing approval, having once
been approved by the Director."
The theory of authorization carrying over from one administration to the next seems particularly inappropriate
for less visible, highly sensitive operations which, unless brought to his attention by subordinates, would not
come to the attention of the Director.
-87before the Committee, authorization through lack of agreement is even more prevalent in
sensitive situations. [86]

The unauthorized retention of shellfish toxin by Dr. Nathan Gordon and his subordinates, in
violation of a Presidential Directive, may have resulted from the failure of the Director to
issue written instructions to Agency officials. The retention was not authorized by senior
officials in the Agency. The Director, Mr. Helms, had instructed Mr. Karamessines, the
Deputy Director of Plans, and Dr. Gottlieb, the Chief of Technical Services Division, to
relinquish control to the Army of any chemical or biological agents being retained for the
CIA at Fort Detrick. Dr. Gottlieb passed this instruction on to Dr. Gordon. While orders may
be disregarded in any organization, one of the reasons that Dr. Gordon used to defend the
retention was the fact that he had not received written instructions forbidding it. [87]
In some situations the existence of written instructions did not prevent unauthorized actions.
According to an investigation by the CIA's Inspector General TSD officers had been
informed orally that Mr. Helms was to be "advised at all times" when LSD was to be used. In
addition TSD had received a memo advising the staff that LSD was not to be used without
the permission of the DDP, Frank Wisner. The experiment involving Dr. Olson went ahead
without notification of either Mr. Wisner or Mr. Helms. The absence of clear and immediate
punishment for that act must undercut the force of other internal instructions and regulations.
One last issue must be raised about authorization procedures within the Agency. Chemical
agents were used abroad until 1959 for discrediting or disabling operations, or for the
purpose of interrogations with the approval of the Chief of Operations of the DDP. Later the
approval of the Deputy Director for Plans was required for such operations. Although the
medical staff sought to be part of the approval process for these operations, they were
excluded because, as the Inspector General wrote in 1957:
Operational determinations are the responsibility of the DDP and it is he who should advise
the DCI in these respects just as it is he who is responsible for the results. It is completely
unrealistic to consider assigning to the Chief Medical Staff, (what, in effect, would be
authority over clandestine operations.) [88]
Given the expertise and training of physicians, participation of the Medical Staff might well
have been useful.
Questions about authorization also exist in regard to those, agencies which assisted the CIA.
For instance, the project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD to unwitting nonvolunteer human subjects was conducted in coordination with the Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs. There is some question as to the Commissioner of Narcotics' knowledge
about the project.
[86] Mr. Elder was asked whether the process of bringing forward a description of actions by the Agency in
getting approval through the absence of disagreement was a common one. He responded, "It was not
uncommon.... The more sensitive the project the more likely it would lean toward being a common practice,
based on the need to keep the written record to a minimum."

-88In 1963, the Inspector General noted that the head of the BNDD had been briefed about the
project, but the IG's report did not indicate the level of detail provided to him. Dr. Gottlieb
testified that "I remember meeting Mr. Anslinger and had the general feeling that he was
aware." [89] Another CIA officer did not recall any discussion of testing on unwitting
subjects when he and Dr. Gottlieb met with Commissioner Anslinger.
In a memorandum for the record in 1967 Dr. Gottlieb stated that Harry Giordano, who
replaced Mr. Anslinger, told Dr. Gottlieb that when he became Commissioner he was "only
generally briefed on the arrangements, gave it his general blessing, and said he didn't want to
know the details." The same memorandum states, however, that there were several
comments which indicated to Dr. Gottlieb that Mr. Giordano was aware of the substance of
the project. It is possible that the Commissioner provided a general authorization for the
arrangement without understanding what it entailed or considering its propriety. A reluctance
to seek detailed information from the CIA, and the CIA's hesitancy to volunteer it, has been
found in a number of instances during the Select Committee's investigations. This problem is
not confined to the executive branch but has also marked congressional relationships with
the Agency.
c. Internal Review. -- The waiver of regulations and the absence of documentation make it
difficult to determine now who authorized which activities. More importantly, they made
internal Agency review mechanisms much less effective. [90] Controversial and highly
sensitive projects which should have been subject to the most rigorous inspection lacked
effective internal review.
Given the role of the General Counsel and his reaction to the surreptitious administration of
LSD to Dr. Olson, it would have seemed likely that he would be asked about the legality or
propriety of any subsequent projects involving such administration. This was not done. He
did not learn about this testing until the 1970's. Nor was the General Counsel's opinion
sought on other MKULTRA projects, though these had been characterized by the Inspector
General in the 1957 Report on TSD as "unethical and illicit." [91]
There is no mention in the report of the 1957 Inspector General's survey of TSD of the
project involving the surreptitious administration of LSD. That project was apparently not
brought to the attention of the survey team. The Inspector who discovered it during the IG's
1963 survey of TSD recalls coming upon evidence of it inadvertently,
[89] Gottlieb, 10/18/75, p. 28.

[90] The IG's report on MKULTRA in 1963 stated:
"The original charter documents specified that TSD maintain exacting control of MKULTRA activities. in so
doing, however, TSD has pursued a philosophy of minimum documentation in keeping with the high sensitivity
of some of the projects. Some files were found to present a reasonably complete record, including most
sensitive matters, while others with parallel objectives contained little or no data at all. The lack of consistent
records precluded use of routine inspection procedures and raised a variety of questions concerning
management and fiscal controls."

-89rather than its having been called to his attention as an especially sensitive project. [92]
Thus both the General Counsel and the Inspector General, the principal internal mechanisms
for the control of possibly improper actions, were excluded from regular reviews of the
project. When the project was discovered the Executive Director Comptroller voiced strong
opposition to it; it is possible that the project would have been terminated in 1957 if it had
been called to his attention when he then served as Inspector General.
The Audit Staff, which also serves an internal review function through the examination of
Agency expenditures, also encountered substantial difficulty with MKULTRA. When
MKULTRA was first proposed the Audit Staff was to be excluded from any function. This
was soon changed. However, the waiver of normal "contractual procedures" in MKULTRA
increased the likelihood of "irregularities" as well as the difficulty in detecting them. The
head of the Audit Branch characterized the MKULTRA procedures as "having allowed
practices that produced gross administrative failures," including a lack of controls within
outside contractors which would "assure proper accountability in use of government funds."
It also diminished the CIA's capacity to verify the accountings provided by outside firms.
d. Compartmentation and Jurisdictional Conflict Within the Agency. -- As has been noted,
the testing and use of chemical and biological agents was treated as a highly sensitive
activity within the CIA. This resulted in a high degree of compartmentation. At the same
time substantial jurisdictional conflict existed within the Agency between the Technical
Services Division, and the Office of Medical Services and the Office of Security.
This compartmentation and jurisdictional conflict may well have led to duplication of effort
within the CIA and to Agency policymakers being deprived of useful information.
During the early 1950's first the BLUEBIRD Committee and then the ARTICHOKE
Committee were instituted to bring together representatives of the Agency components
which had a legitimate interest in the area of the alteration of human behavior. By 1957 both
these committees had fallen into disuse. No information went to the Technical Services
Division (a component supposedly represented on the ARTICHOKE Committee) about
ARTICHOKE operations being conducted by the Office of Security and the Office of
Medical Services. The Technical Services Division which was providing support to the
Clandestine Services in the use of chemical and biological agents, but provided little or no
information to either the Office of Security or the Office of Medical Services. As one TSD
officer involved in these programs testified: "Although we were acquainted, we certainly
didn't share experiences." [93]
[92] Even after the Inspector came upon it the IG did not perform a complete investigation of it. It was
discovered at the end of an extensive survey of TSD and the Inspector was in the process of being transferred to

[93] Testimony of CIA officer, 11/21/75, p. 14.
-90QKHILLTOP, another group designed to coordinate research in this area also had little
success. The group met infrequently -- only twice a year -- and little specific information
was exchanged. [94]
Concern over security obviously played some role in the failure to share information, [95]
but this appears not to be the only reason. A TSD officer stated that the Office, of Medical
Services simply wasn't "particularly interested in what we were doing" and never sought
such information. [96] On the other hand, a representative of the Office of Medical Services
consistently sought to have medical personnel participate in the use of chemical and
biological agents suggested that TSD did not inform the Office of Medical Services in order
to prevent their involvement.
Jurisdictional conflict was constant in this area. The Office of Security, which had been
assigned responsibility for direction of ARTICHOKE, consistently sought to bring TSD
operations involving psychochemicals under the ARTICHOKE umbrella. The Office of
Medical Services sought to have OMS physicians advise and participate in the operational
use of drugs. As the Inspector General described it in 1957, "the basic issue is concerned
with the extent of authority that should be exercised by the Chief, Medical Staff, over the
activities of TSD which encroach upon or enter into the medical field," and which are
conducted by TSD "without seeking the prior approval of the Chief, Medical Staff, and often
without informing him of their nature and extent." [91]
As was noted previously, because the projects and programs of TSD stemmed directly from
operational needs controlled by the DDP, the IG recommended no further supervision of
these activities by the Medical Staff:
It is completely unrealistic to consider assigning to the Chief, Medical Staff, what, in effect,
would be authority over clandestine operations. Furthermore, some of the activities of
Chemical Division are not only unorthodox but unethical and sometimes illegal. The DDP is
in a better position to evaluate the justification for such operations than the Chief, Medical
Staff. [98] [Emphasis added.]
Because the advice of the Director of Security was needed for "evaluating the risks involved"
in the programs and because the knowledge that the CIA was "engaging in unethical and
illicit activities would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles," the IG
recommended that the Director of Security be fully advised of TSD's activities in these areas.
Even after the Inspector General's Report of 1957, the compartmentation and jurisdictional
conflict continued. They may have had a sub-

[94] The one set of minutes from a QKHILLTOP meeting indicated that individuals in the Office of Medical
Services stressed the need for more contact.
[95] When asked why information on the surreptitious administration of LSD was not presented to the
ARTICHOKE committee, Dr. Gottlieb responded: "I imagine the only reason would have been a concern for
broadening the awareness of its existence."

-91stantial negative impact on policymaking in the Agency. As the Deputy Chief of the
Counterintelligence Staff noted in 1958, due to the different positions taken by TSS, the
Office of Security, and the Office of Medical Services, on the use of chemical or biological
agents, it was possible that the individual who authorized the use of a chemical or biological
agent could be presented with "incomplete facts upon which to make a decision relevant to
its use." Even a committee set up by the DDP in 1958 to attempt to rationalize Agency
policy did not have access to records of testing and use. This was due, in part, to excessive
compartmentation, and jurisdictional conflict.
C. Covert Testing On Human Subjects By Military Intelligence Groups:

Material Testing Program EA 1729, Project Third Change, and Project
Derby Hat
EA 1729 is the designator used in the Army drug testing program for lysergic acid
diethylamide (LSD). Interest in LSD was originally aroused at the Army's Chemical Warfare
Laboratories by open literature on the unusual effects of the compound. [99] The positive
intelligence and counterintelligence potential envisioned for compounds like LSD, and
suspected Soviet interest in such materials, [100] supported the development of an American
military capability and resulted in experiments conducted jointly by the U.S. Army
Intelligence Board and the Chemical Warfare Laboratories.
These experiments, designed to evaluate potential intelligence uses of LSD, were known
collectively as "Material Testing Program EA 1729." Two projects of particular interest
conducted as part of these experiments, "THIRD CHANCE" and "DERBY HAT", involved
the administration of LSD to unwitting subjects in Europe and the Far East.
In many respects, the Army's testing programs duplicated research which had already been
conducted by the CIA. They certainly involved the risks inherent in the early phases of drug
testing. In the Army's tests, as with those of the CIA, individual rights were also
subordinated to national security considerations; informed consent and followup

examinations of subjects were neglected in efforts to maintain the secrecy of the tests.
Finally, the command and control problems which were apparent in the CIA's programs are
paralleled by a lack of clear authorization and supervision in the Army's programs.
[99] USAINTC staff study, "Material Testing Program, EA 1729," 10/15/59, p. 4.

[100] This same USAINTC study cited "A 1952 (several years prior to initial U.S. interest in LSD-25) report
that the Soviets purchased a large quantity of LSD-25 from the Sandoz Company in 1951, reputed to be
sufficient for 50 million doses." (Ibid., p. 16.)
Generally accepted Soviet methods and counterintelligence concerns were also strong motivating factors in the
initiation of this research:
"A primary justification for field experimentation in intelligence with EA 1729 is the counter-intelligence or
defense implication. We know that the enemy philosophy condones any kind of coercion or violence for
intelligence purposes. There is proof that his intelligence service has used drugs in the past. There is strong
evidence of keen interest in EA 1729 by him. If for no other purpose than to know what to expect from enemy
intelligence use of the material and to, thus, be prepared to counter it, field experimentation is justified. (Ibid, p.
34)
-921. Scope of Testing

Between 1955 and 1958 research was initiated by the Army Chemical Corps to evaluate the
potential for LSD as a chemical warfare incapacitating agent. In the course of this research,
LSD was administered to more than 1,000 American volunteers who then participated in a
series of tests designed to ascertain the effects of the drug on their ability to function as
soldiers. With the exception of one set of tests at Fort Bragg, these and subsequent laboratory
experiments to evaluate chemical warfare potential were conducted at the Army Chemical
Warfare Laboratories, Edgewood, Maryland.
In 1958 a new series of laboratory tests were initiated at Edgewood. These experiments were
conducted as the initial phase of Material Testing Program EA 1729 to evaluate the
intelligence potential of LSD, and included LSD tests on 95 volunteers. [101] As part of
these tests, three structured experiments were conducted:
1. LSD was administered surreptitiously at a simulated social reception to volunteer subjects
who were unaware of the purpose or nature of the tests in which they were participating;
2. LSD was administered to volunteers who were subsequently polygraphed; and
3. LSD was administered to volunteers who were then confined to "isolation chambers".
These structured experiments were designed to evaluate the validity of the traditional
security training all subjects had undergone in the face of unconventional, drug enhanced,
interrogations.

At the conclusion of the laboratory test phase of Material Testing Program EA 1729 in 1960,
the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorized operational field testing
of LSD. The first field tests were conducted in Europe by an Army Special Purpose Team
(SPT) during the period from May to August of 1961. These tests were known as Project
THIRD CHANCE and involved eleven separate interrogations of ten subjects. None of the
subjects were volunteers and none were aware that they were to receive LSD. All but one
subject, a U.S. soldier implicated in the theft of classified documents, were alleged to be
foreign intelligence sources or agents. While interrogations of these individuals were only
moderately successful, at least one subject (the U.S. soldier) exhibited symptoms of severe
paranoia while under the influence of the drug.
The second series of field tests, Project DERBY HAT, were conducted by an Army SPT in
the Far East during the period from August to November of 1962. Seven subjects were
interrogated under DERBY HAT, all of whom were foreign nationals either suspected of
dealing in narcotics or implicated in foreign intelligence operations. The purpose of this
second set of experiments was to collect additional data on the utility of LSD in field
interrogations, and to evaluate any different effects the drug might have on "Orientals."
[101] Inspector General of the Army Report. "Use of Volunteers in Chemical Agent Research," 3/10/76, p. 138.
-932. Inadequate Coordination Among Intelligence Agencies

On October 15, 1959, the U.S. Army Intelligence Center prepared a lengthy staff study on
Material Testing Program EA 1729. The stated purpose of the staff study was: "to determine
the desirability of EA 1729 on non-US subjects in selected actual operations under controlled
conditions. [102] It was on the basis of this study that operational field tests were later
conducted.
After noting that the Chemical Warfare Laboratories began experiments with LSD on
humans in 1955 and had administered the drug to over 1,000 volunteers, the "background"
section of the study concluded:
There has not been a single case of residual ill effect. Study of the prolific scientific literature
on LSD-25 and personal communication between U.S. Army Chemical Corps personnel and
other researchers in this field have failed to disclose an authenticated instance of irreversible
change being produced in normal humans by the drug. [103]
This conclusion was reached despite an awareness that there were inherent medical dangers
in such experimentation. In the body of this same study it is noted that:
The view has been expressed that EA 1729 is a potentially dangerous drug, whose
pharmaceutical actions are not fully understood and there has been cited the possibility of the

continuance of a chemically induced psychosis in chronic form, particularly if a latent

schizophrenic were a subject, with consequent claim or representation against the U.S.
Government. [104]
An attempt was made to minimize potential medical hazards by careful selection of subjects
prior to field tests. Rejecting evidence that the drug might be hazardous, the study continued:
The claim of possible permanent damage caused by EA 1729 is an unproven hypothesis
based on the characteristic effect of the material. While the added stress of a real situation
may increase the probability of permanent adverse effect, the resulting risk is deemed to be
slight by the medical research personnel of the Chemical Warfare Laboratories. To prevent
even such a slight risk, the proposed plan for field experimentation calls for overt, if
possible, or contrived-through-ruse, if necessary, physical and mental examination of any
real situation subject prior to employment of the subject. [105]
This conclusion was drawn six years after one death had occurred which could be attributed,
at least in part, to the effects of the very drug the Army was proposing to field test. The
USAINTC staff, however, was apparently unaware of the circumstances surrounding Dr.
Olson's death. This lack of knowledge is indicative of the
[102] USAINTC staff study, "Material Testing Program EA 1729," 10/15/59, p. 4.

-94general lack of interagency communication on drug related research. As the October 1959
study noted, "there has been no coordination with other intelligence agencies up to the
present." [106]
On December 7, 1959, the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI, apparently
a General Willems) was briefed on the proposed operational use of LSD by USAINTC
Project Officer Jacobson, in preparation for Project THIRD CHANCE. General Willems
expressed concern that the project had not been coordinated with the FBI and the CIA. He is
quoted as saying "that if this project is going to be worth anything, it [LSD] should be used
on higher types of non-U.S. subjects" in other words "staffers." He indicated this could be
accomplished if the CIA were brought in. The summary of the briefing prepared by Major
Mehovsky continues: "Of particular note is that ACSI did not direct coordination with CIA
and the FBI but only mentioned it for consideration by the planners." [107]
After the briefing, four colonels, two lieutenant colonels and Major Mehovsky met to discuss
interagency cooperation with CIA and FBI. The group consensus was to postpone efforts

toward coordination:
Lt. Col. Jacobson commented that before we coordinate with CIA we should have more
factual findings from field experimentation with counterintelligence cases that will
strengthen our position and proposal for cooperation. This approach red to by the conferees.
[108]
Had such coordination been achieved, the safety of these experiments might have been
viewed differently and the tests themselves might have been seen as unnecessary.
3. Subordination of Individual Rights to National Security Considerations
Just as many of these experiments may have been unnecessary, the nature of the operational
tests (polygraph-assisted interrogations of drugged suspects) reflects a basic disregard for the
fundamental human rights of the subjects. The interrogation of an American soldier as part
of the THIRD CHANCE 1961 tests is an example of this disregard.
The "trip report" for Project THIRD CHANCE, dated September 6, 1961, recounts the
circumstances surrounding and the results of the tests as follows:
[The subject] was a U.S. soldier who had confessed to theft of classified documents.
Conventional methods had failed to ascertain whether espionage intent was involved. A
significant, new admission by subject that he told a fellow soldier of the theft while he still
had the documents in his possession was obtained during the EA 1729 interrogation along
with other variations of Subject's previous account. The interrogation results were deemed by
the local operational authority satisfactory evidence of Subject's claim of innocence in regard
to espionage intent. [109]

-95The subject apparently reacted very strongly to the drug, and the interrogation, while
productive, was difficult. The trip report concluded:
(1) This case demonstrated the ability to interrogate a subject profitably throughout a highly
sustained and almost incapacitating reaction to EA 1729.
(2) The apparent value of bringing a subject into the EA 1729 situation in a highly stressed
state was indicated.

(3) The usefulness of employing as a duress factor the device of inviting the subject's
attention to his EA 1729 influenced state and threatening to extend this state indefinitely
even to a permanent condition of insanity, or to bring it to an end at the discretion of the
interrogators was shown to be effective.
(4) The need for preplanned precautions against extreme paranoiac reaction to EA 1729 was
indicated.
(5) It was brought to attention by this case that where subject has undergone extended
intensive interrogation prior to the EA 1729 episode and has persisted in a version repeatedly
during conventional interrogation, adherence to the same version while under EA 1729
influence, however extreme the reaction, may not necessarily be evidence of truth but merely
the ability to adhere to a well rehearsed story. [110]
This strong reaction to the drug and the accompanying discomfort this individual suffered
were exploited by the use of traditional interrogation techniques. While there is no evidence
that physical violence or torture were employed in connection with this interrogation,
physical and psychological techniques were used in the THIRD CHANCE experiments to
exploit the subjects' altered mental state, and to maximize the stress situation. Jacobson
described these methods in his trip report:
Stressing techniques employed included silent treatment before or after EA 1729
administration, sustained conventional interrogation prior to EA 1729 interrogation,
deprivation of food, drink, sleep or bodily evacuation, sustained isolation prior to EA 1729
administration, hot-cold switches in approach, duress "pitches", verbal degradation and
bodily discomfort, or dramatized threats to subject's life or mental health. [111]
Another gross violation of an individual's fundamental rights occurred in September 1962 as
part of the Army's DERBY HAT tests in the Far East. A suspected Asian espionage agent
was given 6 micrograms of LSD per kilogram of bodyweight. The administration of the drug
was completed at 1035 that morning:
At 1120, sweating became evident, his pulse became thready. He was placed in a supine
position. He began groaning with expiration and became semicomatose. [112]

At 1155, he was helped to a sitting position.

At 1200, he became shocky again and was returned to supine position.
At 1212, he was more alert and able to sit up with help.
At 1220, Subject was assisted to the interrogation table.
At 1230, he began moaning he wanted to die and usually ignored questions. Rarely he stated
"he didn't know."
At 1250, his phasic alertness persisted. He frequently refocused his eyes with eyelid
assistance. He frequently threw his head back with eyes closed.
At 1330, he was slightly more alert. He was forced-walked for 5 minutes. He physically
would cooperate until he became shocky again (sweating, thready pulse, pale). [113]
For the next three hours the subject remained in about the same condition. Continued
attempts at interrogation yielded no relevant answers. Six hours after receiving the drug, the
subject began giving relevant answers to questions. Eight and one-half hours after the initial
dosage, the subject was polygraphed. The interrogation continued for seventeen and one-half
hours after the drug was administered.
There was some psychological and medical screening of the individuals tested within the
United States, in Europe, and in Asia. The proposal for the field experimentation in fact
called for such examinations. The fact of prescreening did not eliminate tile risk of injury;
the availability of medical staff did, however, limit injury and may well have prevented the
death of one or more of the subjects. As the medical corps member of the team which
surreptitiously administered the LSD noted, "one subject... did collapse after the
interrogation and the presence of the medical officer was not only of value to the subject but
to the interrogation team who were thus assured that an unnecessary untoward result would
not occur." [115]
In the October 15, 1959, USAINTC staff study, moral and legal ramifications of covert
administration of LSD in field conditions were considered.
It was always a tenet of Army Intelligence that the basic American principle of the dignity
and welfare of the individual will not be violated. A more meticulous regard for the
prohibition against violence or duress is taken in practice when the suspect is a US citizen or
ally as against an actual or potential enemy, in peace as against war, and in respect to the
nature of the crime.... In intelligence, the stakes involved and the interests of national
security may permit a more tolerant interpretation of moral-ethical values, but not legal
limits, through necessity. Any claim

-97against the US Government for alleged injury due to EA 1729 must be legally shown to have
been due to the material. Proper security and appropriate operational techniques can protect
the fact of employment of EA 1729. [116]
On the basis of this evaluation, the study concluded that in view of "the stakes involved and
the interests of national security," the proposed plan for field testing should be approved.
The surreptitious administration of drugs to unwitting subjects by the Army raises serious
constitutional and legal issues. The consideration given these issues by the Army was wholly
insufficient. The character of the Army's volunteer testing program and the possibility that
drugs were simply substituted for other forms of violence or duress in field interrogations
raises serious doubts as to whether national security imperatives were properly interpreted.
The "consent" forms which each American volunteer signed prior to the administration of
LSD are a case in point. These forms contained no mention of the medical and psychological
risks inherent in such testing, nor do they mention the nature of the psychotropic drug to be
administered:
The general nature of the experiments in which I have volunteered have been explained to
me from the standpoint of possible hazards to my health. It is my understanding that the
experiments are so designed, based on the results of animals and previous human
experimentation, that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment. I
understand further that experiments will be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical
and medical suffering and injury, and that I will be at liberty to request that the experiments
be terminated at any time if in my opinion I have reached the physical or mental state where
continuation of the experiments becomes undesirable.
I recognize that in the pursuit of certain experiments transitory discomfort may occur. I
recognize, also, that under these circumstances, I must rely upon the skill and wisdom of the
physician supervising the experiment to institute whatever medical or surgical measures are
indicated. [Emphasis added.] [118]
The exclusion of any specific discussion of the nature of LSD in these forms raises serious
doubts as to their validity. An "understanding... that the anticipated results will justify the
performance of the experiment" without full knowledge of the nature of the experiment is an
incomplete "understanding." Similarly, the nature of the experiment limited the ability of
both the subject to request its request its termination and the experimenter to implement such
a request. Finally, the euphemistic characterization of "transitory discomfort" and the
agreement to "rely on the skill and wisdom of the physician" combine to conceal inherent
risks in the experimentation and may be viewed as dissolving the experimenter of personal
responsibility for damaging aftereffects. In summary, a "volunteer" program in which
subjects are not fully informed of potential hazards to their persons is "volunteer" in name
only.

[118] Sample volunteer consent form.
-98This problem was compounded by the security statements signed by each volunteer before
he participated in the testing. As part of this statement, potential subjects agreed that they
would:
... not divulge or make available any information related to U.S. Army Intelligence Center
interest or participation in the Department of the Army Medical Research Volunteer Program
to any individual, nation, organization, business, association, or other group or entity, not
officially authorized to receive such information.
I understand that any action contrary to the provisions of this statement will render me liable
to punishment under the provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. [119]
Under these provisions, a volunteer experiencing aftereffects of the test might have been
unable to seek immediate medical assistance.
This disregard for the well-being of subjects drug testing is inexcusable. Further, the absence
of any comprehensive long-term medical assistance for the subjects of these experiments is
not only unscientific; it is also unprofessional.
4. Lack of Normal Authorization and Supervision
It is apparent from documents supplied to the Committee that the Army's testing programs
often operated under informal and nonroutine authorization. Potentially dangerous
operations such as these testing programs are the very projects which ought to be subject to
the closest internal scrutiny at the highest levels of the military command structure. There are
numerous examples of inadequate review, partial consideration, and incomplete approval in
the administration of these programs.
When the first Army program to use LSD on American soldiers in "field stations" was
authorized in May 1955, the Arm violated its own procedures in obtaining approval. Under
Army Chief of Staff Memorandum 385, such proposals were to be personally approved by
the Secretary of the Army. Although the plan was submitted to him on April 26, 1956, the
Secretary issued no written authorization for the project, and there is no evidence that he
either reviewed or approved the plan. Less than a month later, the Army Chief of Staff issued
a memorandum authorizing the tests. [120]
Subsequent testing of LSD under Material Testing Program EA 1729 operated generally
under this authorization. When the plans for this testing were originally discussed in early
1958 by officials of the Army Intelligence Center at Fort Holabird and representatives of the

Chemical Warfare Center at Edgewood Arsenal, an informal proposal was formulated. This
proposal was submitted to the Medical Research Directorate at Edgewood by the President
of the Army Intelligence Board on June 3, 1958. There is no evidence that the plan was
approved at any level higher than the President of the Intelligence Board or the Commanding
General of Edgewood. The approval at Edgewood appears to have been issued by the
Commander's Adjutant. The Medical Research Laboratories did not submit the plan to the
Surgeon General for approval (a standard procedure) because

-99the new program was ostensibly covered by the authorizations granted in May 1956. [121]
The two projects involving the operational use of LSD (THIRD CHANCE and DERBY
HAT) were apparently approved by the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence
(General Willems) on December 7, 1960. [122] This verbal approval came in the course of a
briefing on previous drug programs and on the planned field experimentation. There is no
record of written approval being issued by the ACSI to authorize these specific projects until
January 1961, and there is no record of any specific knowledge or approval by the Secretary
of the Army.
On February 4, 1963, Major General C. F. Leonard, Army ACSI, forwarded a copy of the
THIRD CHANCE Trip Report to Army Chief of Staff, General Earl Wheeler. [123] Wheeler
had apparently requested a copy on February 2. The report was routed through a General
Hamlett. While this report included background on the origins of the LSD tests, it appears
that General Wheeler may only have read the conclusion and recommendations. [124] The
office memorandum accompanying the Trip Report bears Wheeler's initials. [125]
5. Termination of Testing
On April 10, 1963, a briefing was held in the ACSIs office on the results of Projects THIRD
CHANCE and DERBY HAT. Both SPT's concluded that more field testing was required
before LSD could be utilized as an integral aid to counterintelligence interrogations. During
the presentation of the DERBY HAT results, General Leonard (Deputy ACSI) directed that
no further field testing be undertaken. [126] After this meeting the ACSI sent a letter to the
Commanding General of the Army Combat Developments Command (CDC) requesting that
he review THIRD CHANCE and DERBY HAT and "make a net evaluation concerning the
adoption of EA 1729 for future use as an effective and profitable aid in counterintelligence
interrogations." [127] On the same day the ACSI requested that the CDC Commander revise
regulation FM 30-17 to read in part:

Medical research has established that information obtained through the use of these drugs is

It is considered that DA [Army] approval must be a prerequisite for use of such drugs
because of the moral, legal, medical and political problems inherent in their use for
intelligence purposes. [128]

The official termination date of these testing Programs is rather unclear, but a later ACSI
memo indicates that it may have occurred in September of 1963. On the 19th of that month a
meeting was held between Dr. Van Sims (Edgewood Arsenal), Major Clovis (Chemical
Research Laboratory), and ACSI representatives (General Deholm and Colonel Schmidt).

further activity pending a more profitable and suitable use." [129]
D. Cooperation And Competition Among The Intelligence Community

Agencies And Between These Agencies And Other Individuals And
Institutions
1. Relationships Among Agencies Within the Intelligence Community
Relationships among intelligence community agencies in this area varied considerably over
time, ranging from full cooperation to intense and wasteful competition. The early period
was marked by a high degree of cooperation among the agencies of the intelligence
community. Although the military dominated research involving chemical and biological
agents, the information developed was shared with the FBI and the CIA. But the spirit of

cooperation did not continue. The failure by the military to share information apparently
breached the spirit, if not the letter, of commands from above.
As noted above, the Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence was briefed on the
proposed operational testing of LSD under Project THIRD CHANCE, and expressed
concern that the project had not been coordinated with FBI and CIA. Despite this request, no
coordination was achieved between the Army and either of these agencies. Had such
cooperation been forthcoming, this project may have been evaluated in a different light.
The competition between the agencies in this area reached bizarre levels. A military officer
told a CIA representative in confidence about the military's field testing of LSD in Europe
under Project THIRD CHANCE, and the CIA promptly attempted to learn surreptitiously the
nature and extent of the program. At roughly the same time Mr. Helms argued to the DDCI
that the unwitting testing program should be continued, as it contributed to the CIA's
capability in the area and thus allowed the CIA "to restrain others in the intelligence
community (such as the Department of Defense) from pursuing operations. [130]
The MKNAOMI program was also marked by a failure to share information. The Army
Special Forces (the principal customer of the Special Operations Division at Fort Dietrick)
and the CIA rather than attempting to coordinate their efforts promulgated different
requirements which varied only slightly. This apparently resulted in some duplication of
effort. In order to insure the security of CIA operations, the Agency would request materials
from SOD for operational use without fully or accurately describing the operational
requirements. This resulted in limitations on SOD's ability to assist the CIA.
[129] Undated ASCI memorandum, p. 2.

[130] Memorandum from the DDP to the DCI, 11/9/64, p. 2.
-1012. Relationship Between the Intelligence Community Agencies and Foreign Liaison Services
The subjects of the CIA's operational testing of chemical and biological agents abroad were
generally being held for interrogation by foreign intelligence or security organizations.
Although information about the use of drugs was generally withheld from these
organizations, cooperation with them necessarily jeopardized the security of CIA interest in
these materials. Cooperation also placed the American Government in a position of
complicity in actions which violated the rights of the subjects, and which may have violated
the laws of the country in which the experiments took place.
Cooperation between the intelligence agencies and organizations in foreign countries was not
limited to relationships with the intelligence or internal security organizations. Some
MKULTRA research was conducted abroad. While this is, in itself, not a questionable
practice, it is important that such research abroad not be undertaken to evade American laws.

That this was a possibility is suggested by an ARTICHOKE memorandum in which it is

noted that working with the scientists of a foreign country "might be very advantageous"
since that government "permitted certain activities which were not permitted by the United
States government (i.e., experiments on anthrax, etc.)." [131]
3. The Relationships Between the Intelligence Community Agencies and Other Agencies of
the U.S. Government
Certain U.S. government agencies actively assisted the efforts of intelligence agencies in this
area. One form of assistance was to provide "cover" for research contracts let by intelligence
agencies, in order to disguise intelligence community interest in chemical and biological
agents.
Other forms of assistance raise more serious questions. Although the CIA's project involving
the surreptitious administration of LSD was conducted by Bureau of Narcotics personnel,
there was no open connection between the Bureau personnel and the Agency. The Bureau
was serving as a "cut-out" in order to make it difficult to trace Agency participation. The cutout arrangement, however, reduced the CIA's ability to control the program. The Agency
could not control the process by which subjects were selected and cultivated, and could not
regulate follow-up after the testing. Moreover, as the CIA's Inspector General noted: "the
handling of test subjects in the last analysis rests with the [Bureau of Narcotics] agent
working alone. Suppression of knowledge of critical results from the top CIA management is
an inherent risk in these operations." [132] The arrangement also made it impossible for the
Agency to be certain that the decision to end the surreptitious administration of LSD would
be honored by the Bureau personnel.
The arrangement with the Bureau of Narcotics was described as "informal." [133] The
informality of the arrangement compounded the problem is aggravated by the fact that the 40
Committee has had vir-

hesitation in volunteering information. These problems raise serious questions of command
and control within the Bureau.

The Inspector General's 1963 Survey of MKULTRA noted that "the research and
development" phase was conducted through standing arrangements with "specialists in
universities, pharmaceutical houses, hospitals, state and federal institutions, and private
research organizations" in a manner which concealed "from the institution the interests of the
CIA." Only a few "key individuals" in each institution were "made witting of Agency
sponsorship." The research and development phase was succeeded by a phase involving
physicians, toxicologists, and other specialists in mental, narcotics, and general hospitals and
prisons, who are provided the products and findings of the basic research projects and
proceed with intensive testing on human subjects." [134]
According to the Inspector General, the MKULTRA testing programs were "conducted
under accepted scientific procedures... where health permits, test subjects are voluntary
participants in the programs." [135] This was clearly not true in the project involving the
surreptitious administration of LSD, which was marked by a complete lack of screening,
medical supervision, opportunity to observe, or medical or psychological follow-up.
The intelligence agencies allowed individual researchers to design their project. Experiments
sponsored by these researchers (which included one where narcotics addicts were sent to
Lexington, Kentucky, who were rewarded with the drug of their addiction in return for
participation in experiments with LSD) call into question the decision by the agencies not to
fix guidelines for the experiments.
The MKULTRA research and development program raises other questions, as well. It is not
clear whether individuals in prisons, mental, narcotics and general hospitals can provide
"informed consent" to participation in experiments such as these. There is doubt as to
whether institutions should be unwitting of the ultimate sponsor of research being done in
their facilities. The nature of the arrangements also made it impossible for the individuals
who were not aware of the sponsor of the research to exercise any choice about their
participation based on the sponsoring organization.
Although greater precautions are now being taken in research conducted on behalf of the
intelligence community agencies, the dilemma of classification remains. The agencies
obviously wished to conceal their interest in certain forms of in order to avoid stimulating
interest in the same areas by hostile governments. In some cases today contractors or
researchers wish to conceal their connection with these agencies. Yet the fact of
classification prevents open discussion and debate upon which scholarly work depends.

SUBJECT: Request for Guidance on Handling Recently Located MKULTRA Material
1. (U/AIUO) This memorandum is to advise you that additional MKULTRA documents
have been discovered and to obtain your approval for follow-on actions required. Paragraph
7 contains a recommended course of action.
2. (U/AIUO) As a result of John Marks FOIA request (F-76-374), all of the MKULTRA
material in OTS possession was reviewed for possible release to him. Following that
review, the OTS material in the Retired Records Center was searched. It was during that
latter search that the subproject files were located among the retired records of the OTS
Budget and Fiscal Section. These files were not discovered earlier as the earlier searches
were limited to the examination of the active and retired records of those branches
considered most likely to have generated or have had access to MKULTRA documents.
Those branches included: Chemistry, Biological, Behavioral Activities, and Contracts
Management. Because Dr. Gottlieb retrieved and destroyed all the MKULTRA documents
he was able to locate, it is not surprising that the earlier search for MKULTRA documents,
directed at areas where they were most likely to be found, was unsuccessful. The purpose of

establishing the MKULTRA mechanism was to limit knowledge of the sensitive work being
performed to those with an absolute need to know. If those precepts had been followed, the
recently found B&F files should have contained only financial and administrative
documents. (In retrospect, I realize that
-104- [View JPEG Document Scan of This Page]

a serious error was made in not having B&F files and other seemingly innocuous files
searched earlier.) As it happened most of the individual subproject folders contain project
proposals and memoranda for the record, which in varying degrees, give a reasonably
complete picture of the avenues of research funded through MKULTRA. For your
information, the original memorandum setting up MKULTRA, signed by Mr. Dulles, is also
among these documents. A copy of the memorandum is attached.
3. (U/AIUO) At this writing, it does not appear that there is anything in these newly
located files that would indicate the MKULTRA activities were more extensive or more
controversial than indicated by the Senate Select (Church) Committee Report. If anything,
the reverse is true, i.e., most of the nearly 200 subprojects are innocuous. Thus, the
overview of MKULTRA is essentially unchanged. With two exceptions, the project find
fills in some of the missing details.
4. (U/AIUO) One of these exceptions is Subproject Number 45 which concerns an
activity that should have been reported earlier. That project deals with the search for a
knockout drug which was concomitant with, and a by-product of, cancer research at a major
university. It is believed that an objective reading of that project would demonstrate the
search for knockout materials and anesthetics were compatible activities. However, the
research proposal stated that "chemical agents... will be subjected to clinical screening... on
advanced cancer patients".
5. (C) Subproject Number 55 contains full details of CIA's contribution of $375,000 to
the [deletion] Building Fund. The Agency was then involved in drug research programs,

order to facilitate the ongoing research programs, it was decided to expedite the building

The contribution could be controversial in that it was made through a mechanism making it
appear to be a private donation. Private donations qualified for, and [deletion] received, an
equal amount of Federal matching funds. A letter from the Office of General Counsel dated
21 February 1954 attesting to the legality of this funding is in the file.
6. (U/AIUO) The Legislative Counsel has been made aware of the existence of these
additional MKULTRA documents which are still under review and sanitation. The MARKS
case is in litigation and we are committed to advise Mr. Marks of the existence of these files
shortly, and to deliver the releasable material to his attorneys by 31 July. A letter from the
Information and Privacy Staff to Mr. Marks' attorneys informing them of the existence of
this material is in the coordination process and is scheduled to be mailed on 24 June.
7. (U/AIUO) There are now two actions that should be taken:
a. Release appropriately sanitized material to Mr. Marks' attorneys as required by
FOIA litigation.
b. Inform the Senate Select Committee of the existence of the recently located records
prior to informing Mr. Marks' attorneys.
It is recommended that you approve of both of these actions.

officers most familiar with it are prepared to brief you at your convenience.

Select Committee on Intelligence

United States Senate
Dear Mr. Chairman:
During the course of 1975 when the Senate Committee, chaired by Senator Church, was
investigating intelligence activities, the CIA was asked to produce documentation on a
program of experimentation with the effect of drugs. Under this project conducted from
1953 to 1964 and known as "MK-ULTRA," tests were conducted on American citizens in
some cases without their knowledge. The CIA, after searching for such documentation,
reported that most of the documents on this matter have been destroyed. I find it my duty to
report to you now that our continuing search for drug related, as well as other documents,
has uncovered certain papers which bear on this matter. Let me hasten to add that I am
persuaded that there was no previous attempt to conceal this material in the original 1975
exploration. The material recently discovered was in the retired archives filed under
financial accounts and only uncovered by using extraordinary and extensive search efforts.
In this connection, incidentally, I have personally commended the employee whose
diligence produced this find.
Because the new material now on hand is primarily of a financial nature, it does not
present a complete picture of the field of drug experimentation activity but it does provide
more detail than was previously available to us. For example, the following types of
activities were undertaken:
a. Possible additional cases of drugs being tested on American citizens, without their
knowledge.
b. Research was undertaken on surreptitious methods of administering drugs.
c. Some of the persons chosen for experimentation were drug addicts or alcoholics.
d. Research into the development of a knockout or "K" drug was performed in
conjunction with being done to develop pain killers for advanced cancer patients, and tests
on such patients were carried out.

2
e. There is a possibility of an improper payment to a private institution.
The drug related activities described in this newly located material began almost 25 years
ago. I assure you they were discontinued over 10 years ago and do not take place today.
In keeping with the President's commitment to disclose any errors of the Intelligence
Community which are uncovered, I would like to volunteer to testify before your

Dear [deletion]
After our telephone conversation this morning I went to [one
line deleted] and opened an account -- regular checking -- in the
amount of $100.00 using the name [deletion]
It occurred to me that for sake of safety -- if, for example,
anything should happen to me -- it would simplify matters if I
made this a joint account between [deletion] and [deletion] Then,
in case of my absence, illness or death you could recover the
joint funds without any legal difficulties or monkey business.
The bank was a little sticky about opening an account in the
absences of "references" from another bank, and also found it
hard to understand how [deletion] got by all these years without
a bank account. However, I offered to provide an excellent
reference in a government official, a [deletion] who is [deletion]
at [deletion] and that seemed to placate the money-lenders.
Thereafter, I communicated with [deletion] and he immediately
wrote a reference for [deletion] on official stationary. [deletion]
also kindly said he was well acquainted with [deletion] and was
pleased to offer for him a similar recommendation.
If you think this is a good idea, I suggest you sign the Joint
Account Agreement and the three signature cards enclosed and
return them to me.
And now that the account is opened I suggest you have funds
deposited via Cashier's check -- or any other way that seems
easiest -- directly to [deleted] account.
I ordered checks printed with [deleted] name thereon and
have also ordered stationary bearing [deleted] name. I considered
this might facilitate payment of bills, etc., by mail.
What with suspicious banks, landlords, utility companies,
etc., you will understand that creating the Jekyll-Hyde

1 - It is proposed to study a variety of known drugs in this
pharmacological class that are in present day use and to
synthesize new chemical agents or to modify existing ones as
occasion may demand.
2 - The various chemical agents investigated or synthesized will
be tested on animals to determine their acute and chronic
toxicity. Their pharmacological effects will be studied by a
variety of assay technics, such as blood pressure determinations,
bronchial dilation recordings, endocrine effects, etc. Complete
animal facilities will be maintained for this purpose and
pathologic study will be carried out on the affected organs when
the animals are sacrificed.
3 - Preliminary clinical investigation will be carried out on the

SUBJECT: Increase in the Scope of Subproject 23, Project

MKULTRA
1. Due to a considerable increase in the scope of the work
undertaken by [deleted] at the direction of TSS/CD under
Subproject 23, Project MKULTRA, the $42,700.00 sum
originally obligated for this work is insufficient to cover the
year's costs. It is therefore proposed to add $15,000.00 to that
already obligated under this Subproject.
2. The total cost of this Subproject for the period 28 January
1954 to 28 January 1955 will thus amount to $57,700.00.
3. The increase in scope responsible for this proposal consists
of the development and partial financing of two new sources of
biologically active compounds of interest in the program
TSS/CD is carrying out.

SUBJECT: Authorization for Payment of Certain Expenses
Under Project MKULTRA, Subproject 23
1. In order to carry on the work of the above Subproject, it
was necessary to test the effects of certain chemical substances
when administered to test the effects of certain chemical
substances when administered to human beings. Certain of the
anticipated effects involved mental functions which precluded
the use of mental defectives for this particular study.
2. In view of these circumstances the project engineer, with
verbal approval from his chief, authorized the contractor to pay
the hospitals expenses of certain persons suffering from
incurable cancer for the privilege of studying the effects of these
chemicals during their terminal illnesses. The total funds
expended in this fashion amounted to $658.05 and full value was
received.
3. It is requested that the Chief, TSS indicate his knowledge
and approval of this particular expenditure for audit purposes.

21 December 1954
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
1. While the Director's statutory authority to expend funds for
confidential purposes is not limited by law, we believe that a gift
of Government funds as such would exceed the intent of the
Congress in granting that power. However, where a gift is made
for the express purpose of producing something of value to this
Agency which cannot otherwise be obtained and there is
reasonable expectation that the value may be received, the gift
may in effect be an expenditure for proper official purposes.
2. In Subproject 35, it is stated that the donation in question
would achieve certain ends desired by TSS. There seems to be no
question that those ends would be advantageous, so the main
questions appear to be whether they could not be attained by
more direct, normal methods, and, if not, whether the return is
necessary and reasonable in relation to the donation.
3. We are in no position to review the requirements of TSS or
to appraise the advantages that would result from this project.
We do not comment, therefore, on the value received if the
project results in the benefits foreseen . We feel we should
comment on factors affecting the probability of achieving those
ends. In a legal sense, there is little or no control. Once the funds
are donated, the individual, his foundation, or the hospital could
conceivably refuse to work for us or allow us the use of the
facilities.
4. Practically, the control seems to be established as well as
circumstances permit. Certainly, as long as the individual is alive
and in his present position, we have every reason to expect his
complete cooperation in the future as in the past, unless through
some act or fault of our own he is alienated. Even in the event of
his death or incapacity, there appears to be a reasonable

chance of continuing the project. If these probabilities appear
sufficient to obtain an adequate return for the expenditure, there
can be no legal objection to this aspect of the project.
5. It should be noted that there are two circumstances which
require consideration in a final determination. As stated in
Section V, our contribution, by appearing to be from a private
source, would increase the matching Government contribution by
a similar amount which would not be the case if it were known
that this was in fact a Government contribution also. Secondly, it
is the stated policy of the hospital to charge the Government and
commercial organizations 80 per cent overhead on research
contracts, whereas nonprofit foundations pay only direct costs
but no overhead. Because of the ostensible source, our projects
will not be charged overhead. This could be construed as morally
wrongful to the hospital, as normally we would pay the 80 per
cent overhead charge for projects performed directly for us, but I
believe this can be offset, at least to the amount of our donation,
and perhaps by the further amount by which the other
Government contributions are increased by our donation. In any
case, if the project is a proper one and must be performed in this
manner, security dictates these circumstances and they, therefore,
do not present a legal obstacle as such.
6. We raised the question whether funds for the hospital
construction could not be obtained from other normal charitable
sources. It appeared that there was a strong possibility that the
individual concerned could raise adequate funds from private
resources, but it was the position of TSS that if this were the case
we would not obtain the commitment from the individual and the
degree of control which this project is designed to achieve.

The development of materials of this type follows the
standard practice of such ethical drug houses as [deletion] It is a
relatively routine procedure to develop a drug to the point of
human testing. Ordinarily, the drug houses depend upon the
services of private physicians for the final clinical testing. The
physicians are willing to assume the responsibility of such tests
in order to advance the science of medicine. It is difficult and
sometimes impossible for TSS/CD to offer such an inducement
with respect to its products. In practice, it has been possible to
use outside cleared contractors for the preliminary phases of this
work. However, that part which involves human testing at
effective dose levels presents security problems which cannot be
handled by the ordinary contractor.

-3The proposed facility [deletion] offers a unique opportunity
for the secure handling of such clinical testing in addition to the
many advantages outlined in the project proposal. The security
problems mentioned above are eliminated by the fact that the
responsibility for the testing will rest completely upon the
physician and the hospital. [one line deleted] will allow TSS/CD
personnel to supervise the work very closely to make sure that all
tests are conducted according to the recognized practices and
embody adequate safeguards.

SUBPROJECT 35 OF PROJECT MKULTRA
1. Subproject 35 as approved by the DCI on 15 January 1955
contemplated a financial contribution of $125,000 to the
[deletion] to participate in the construction of a new research
wing to cost $3,000,000 exclusive of furnishings and equipment.
Agency funds will be transmitted through the [deletion] as cutout which will result in one-sixth of the space in the new
research wing being made available for Agency-sponsored
research involving covert biological and chemical techniques of
warfare.
2. At that time (15 January 1955) [deletion] with CIA
encouragement indicated a willingness to contribute $500,000 to
the construction fund. The building fund was to have been raised
as follows:
$1,000,000 - Contributed by [deletion]
250,000 - Donation from [deletion] of which $125,000 to be
supplied by CIA
1,250,000 - Matching funds under Public Law 221 equal to
the amount of the two above contributions
500,000 - [deletion]

4. The Agency's contribution would thus total $375,000. This
investment, together with the equal sum resulting from matched
funds, is fully justified in the opinion of TSS for reasons which
will be explained by [deletion] Chief, TSS, and Dr. Sidney
Gottlieb, Chief, TSS/Chemical Division. The scope of subproject

35 was set up within the scope of the TSS R&D program,
security considerations and cover arrangements were carefully

I. Background on Subproject 35.

In January 1955 approval was given by the DCI to Subproject 35
of Project MKULTRA. The documents which lead this approval
(including comments of the OGC) are attached herewith as Tabs
2, A and 3.
Project MKULTRA is the framework of procedures and controls
under which research projects in certain highly sensitive fields
are carried out by TSS. A description of the background of
Project MKULTRA may be found on page 1 of Tab A.
Subproject 35 establishes cover under which the Chemical
Division of DD/P/TSS would conduct certain sensitive projects
in the fields of biological and chemical warfare and consists of a
proposed arrangement whereby the Agency covertly contributes
funds to assist the [deletion] in the construction of a new research
wing. Contribution of these funds is to be made through the
[deletion] as cut-out so that the [deletion] would remain
unwitting of Agency participation in the building program.
Projects would later be carried out by the Chemical Division
using the facilities of the new research wing, and Agency
employees would be able to participate in the work without the
University or the Hospital authorities being aware of Agency
interest. Subproject 35 contemplated the contribution of Agency
funds to assist in the construction of facilities. Future research
work would be carried out through the [deletion] as cut-out and
would be separately funded under existing procedures and
controls.
[deletion] and the background of [deletion] are described on page
2 of Tab A. On the same page there will be found a further
description of the [deletion]
II. Building Fund
The University will require $3,000,000 for the six-story addition
to the hospital exclusive of the cost of land, heating and power
supply which are being provided by the University. Under Public
Law 221, Subappropriation

663, dated 26 August 1954, funds are available to match funds
raised for this purpose by the University.

When Subproject 35 was first prepared, it was hoped and

expected that the funds required would be provided as follows:
The University has allocated $1,000,000 to this project and will
assume upkeep and staffing obligations. [deletion] agreed that if
the Agency would provide [deletion] with a grant of $125,000,
the Fund would match this amount and make a total donation of
$250,000 to the University Building Fund. At that time,
discussions with [one line deleted] indicated that [deletion]
would contribute $500,000 to the building project on the basis
that radiological research would be conducted in the new wing
and that the construction of the new facilities was of interest to
that Agency. In summary, the financial situation was to have
been as follows:
$1,000,000 - [deletion]
250,000 - Donation from [deletion] (of which $125,000 was
supplied by CIA)
1,250,000 - Matched Funds under Public Law 221
_________________
$3,000,000 - TOTAL
It was recognized that the Federal contributions of $1,250,000
under Public Law 221 would be seemingly inflated by reason of
the inclusion of the CIA contribution in that of [deletion] It was
felt that the value to the Agency was such that this inflation of
the Federal contribution was more than justified by the
importance of the over-all project and that furthermore, the
inclusion of the CIA contribution in that of [deletion] was the
best means of maintaining security.
III. [deletion]
The original informal commitment on the part of [deletion] was
first obtained through verbal discussions with [deletion] which
were followed up by an exchange of correspondence between the
DCI and [deletion] Unfortunately at that time [deletion] was fully
occupied with the controversy concerning the [deletion] and
continued contact with [deletion] subordinates resulted in a
decision that [deletion] could not or would not contribute to the
Building Fund, but would be willing to support an annual
research program amounting to $50,000 to $75,000. It is not

known whether this change in policy was suggested to [deletion]

or whether it originated with him. Be that as it may, when the
change in policy became apparent, it was evident that additional
funds would be required to complete the hospital construction.
IV. Suggested Funding.
It is now suggested that the $3,000,000 required for the hospital
wing be provided as follows:
$1,000,000 - [deletion]
500,000 - Donation from [deletion] (including $375,000
supplied by CIA)
1,500,000 - Matched Funds from Public Law 221
_________
$3,000,000 - TOTAL
The donation from [deletion] would thus consist of the original
$125,000 to be supplied by CIA plus the sum of $125,000 to be
provided by the Fund and a supplemental CIA contributions of
$250,000. Originally Subproject 35 requested permission to
make a contribution of $125,000 to the building fund and
approval was given. This approval is enclosed herewith as Tab 2.
The purpose of this amendment to Subproject 35 is to request
permission to contribute an additional $250,000 to the building
construction fund through [deletion] It should be noted that the
total Government contribution to the hospital fund still remains
unchanged at $1,875,000. The increase in the size of the
contribution by the Fund is not out of keeping with other
operations of [deletion] and will not arouse undue comment
because of its magnitude. The originally approved contribution
has not as yet been transmitted to [deletion] and neither the
original contributions nor the supplement would be paid to
[deletion] until funds adequate to complete the project are made
available. This condition was specified by the DCI in approving
the original contribution.
V. Source of CIA Funds.
Funds to cover the initially approved sum of $125,000 are
available and have been segregated for this purpose within the
TSS FY 1955 Budget for Research and Development.
Insufficient funds remain in the TSS budget to cover the
supplementary sum of $250,000, and it is therefore requested
that the TSS budget be increased by this amount and that the
increase be made available to Subproject 35 of Project
MKULTRA.

VI. Comments by the Office of General Counsel.
Tab 3 is a memorandum from the General Counsel to the DCI
dated 21 December 1954, commenting on Subproject 35, and
stating in part that there are no fundamental legal objections if
the probable benefits are considered a fair return for this
expenditure. The amendment to the Subproject contemplates
only an increase in funds and in no way changes any other aspect
of the project. The project has been referred back to the OGC
even though no change in its structure is contemplated, and Tab
4 contains his comments.
VII. Justification.
The advantages and benefits accruing to the Agency outlined in
Tab A are felt by TSS to provide adequate and complete
justification for the expenditure of the additional sum herein
requested which brings the total CIA contribution to $375,000.
The most important of these advantages and benefits may be
summarized as follows: (Fuller explanations may be found in
Tab A).
a. One-sixth of the total space in the new hospital wing will
be available to the Chemical Division of TSS, thereby providing
laboratory and office space, technical assistants, equipment and
experimental animals.
b. Agency sponsorship of sensitive research projects will be
completely deniable.
c. Full professional cover will be provided for up to three
biochemical employees of the Chemical Division.
d. Human patients and volunteers for experimental use will be
available under controlled clinical conditions within the full
supervision of [deletion]
Subproject 35 was originally conceived in October and
November of 1954, and the ensuing six months have indicated
that increasing emphasis and importance are being placed on the
Chemical Division's work in this field. The facilities of the
hospital and the ability to conduct controlled experiments under

[deletion]
It was originally thought that at least 18 months would elapse
after the building funds had been raised before the facilities
would be finished and could be occupied by TSS. This lengthy
delay has now been overcome. When [one line deleted] has
raised the $500,000 which his Fund will ostensibly contribute, he
will then be allowed to use existing space in the present hospital
in order that he may build up the organization which will later
occupy the new wing. This means that TSS will be able to begin
to take advantage of this cover situation within a matter of
months instead of waiting for a year and a half.
VIII. Security.
Security matters and details are being co-ordinated with the TSS
Liaison and Security Officer. Security of transmittal of the funds
and cover arrangements are described in Tab A and remain
unchanged.
IX. Agreement with [deletion]
The agreement with [deletion] is described in Tab A, and the
extent of his co-operation and the control over his actions
remains unchanged.
X. Resultant Financial Saving.
The total contribution of $375,000 by CIA will result in an
additional $375,000 in matching funds provided under Public
Law 221. It is felt that the expenditure of these total funds is
justified by the importance of the programs which will be
pursued at the new facility. Even though the CIA contribution is
increased under this amended project, the total of Federal funds

remains unchanged. The use of this facility will allow work to

proceed under conditions of cover and security which would be
impossible to obtain elsewhere without an expenditure of
equivalent or greater funds. In addition, by funding individual
projects for this facility through the [deletion] no charge will be
incurred for overhead expense. If research projects [deletion] are
openly sponsored by the U.S. Government, it is customary to pay
an overhead rate equivalent to 80% of salaries. However, if a
non-profit fund, such as [deletion] sponsors research, the funds
granted for the work are customarily used only to pay for
salaries, equipment and supplies, but not overhead. The Agency
thus buys considerably more research through [deletion] than
would be the case if no cut-out were used.

SUBPROJECT 35 - PROJECT MKULTRA
For the purpose of establishing a cover organization for highly
sensitive projects in the field of covert Biological, Chemical and
Radiological Warfare
____________________________________
I. Background of Project MKULTRA.
In 1953 the DCI approved Project MKULTRA which established
procedures and controls under which research projects in certain
highly sensitive fields could be carried out by TSS without the
necessity of signing the usual contracts. The approved
procedures apply [deletion] over-all Research and Development
budget, and no additional funds are required. Controls
established in the Project Review Committee approval of the
Research and Development program (other than the signing of a
contract) remain unchanged, and special provisions for audit are
included. All files are retained by TSS.
These procedures and controls were approved since it is highly
undesirable from a policy and security point of view that
contracts be signed indicating Agency or Government interest in
this field of endeavor. In a great many instances the work must
be conducted by individuals who are not and should not be aware
of Agency interest. In other cases the individuals involved are
unwilling to have their names on a contract which remains out of
their control in our files. Experience has shown that qualified,
competent individuals in the field of physiological, psychiatric
and other biological sciences are very reluctant to enter into
signed agreements of any sort which would connect them with
this activity since such connection might seriously jeopardize
their professional reputations.
When Project MKULTRA was approved, it was not
contemplated that it would be used for the establishment of
cover. Over forty individual research and development projects
have been established under this framework and have been
carried out extremely successfully, both from technical and
administrative points of view. The experience gained in handling

these projects has emphasized that establishment of better cover

both for the projects and for associated Agency scientists is of
utmost importance. Subproject 35 would establish such cover.

II. Background of the [deletion]
The [deletion] was incorporated in [deletion]. It has a Board of
Directors of six members, one of whom is [deletion] who acts as
Executive Director of the Fund. [deletion] it has solicited funds
from various individuals to finance a program of basic research
in the chemotherapy of cancer, asthma, hypertension,
psychosomatic disorders and other chronic diseases. Since 1951
[deletion] has co-operated with the Chemical Division of TSS
and acted smoothly and efficiently, both as a cut-out for dealing
with contractors in the fields of covert chemical and biological
warfare, and as a prime contractor for certain areas of biological
research. Projects presently being handled for the Agency by the
Fund are administered under the controls and procedures
previously approved for MKULTRA.

ment and general out-patient facilities. In this effort, [deletion]
has secured the enthusiastic support of the medical faculty and
the officers of the University who have carried the preliminary
arrangements forward to the maximum extent of their resources.
V. Financial Situation.
The University will require about $3,000,000 for the [deletion]
story addition. This sum is exclusive of the cost of land and the
heating and power supply, which are already available at the site.
At the present time under Public Law 221, funds are available to
match funds raised by the University. The University has
allocated $1,000,000 to this project and will assume upkeep and
staffing obligations. [deletion] has agreed that if CIA will
provide [deletion] a grant of $125,000, [deletion] will match this
amount and make a total donation of $250,000 to the University
Building Fund. This Agency's contribution will be made under
the condition that it will be refunded if construction does not take
place.
TSS has discussed this situation with [one line deleted] and has
encouraged [deletion] to donate $500,000 to the building project
on the basis that [deletion] will be conducted in the new wing.
[deletion] though aware of our interest in the building, is
unwitting of our specific fields of research and individual
projects. In summary, the financial situation would be as follows:
$1,000,000 - [deletion]
250,000 - Donation from [deletion] ($125,000 supplied by
CIA)
1,250,000 - Matched funds from Public Law 221

VI. Difficulties Faced by TSS.
It has been generally recognized for some time that the external
research activities of the Chemical Division of TSS in the field of
covert biological, chemical and radiological warfare are sorely in
need of proper cover. Although Project MKULTRA provides
excellent administrative and financial cover for projects, it does
not afford cover for scientific or technical personnel.
MKULTRA has been used for dealing through [deletion] as a
cut-out and for working directly with individuals or private
companies. The use of [deletion] in the future will be
increasingly limited due to
(a) The increasing number of people who, albeit properly
cleared, are aware of the Agency connection with [deletion]
(b) The feeling by [deletion] that the Agency employees
contacting him (Drs. Gottlieb, [deletion], etc.) have no cover of
any sort and consequently expose him to unnecessary and highly
undesirable personal risk; and
(c) The widespread intra-Agency awareness of the nature of
the relationship between the Fund and the Agency.
Another serious problem faced by TSS/CD as a result of lack of
suitable cover is the difficulty in planning careers for technical
and scientific personnel in the biological field. A long-range
career concept of activities in this field inevitably includes proper
cover for the individual concerned. The availability of research
facilities at [deletion] will offer an excellent opportunity to solve
many of the above problems, and [deletion] is willing and able to
make any reasonable arrangements to suit our needs. Up to three
Chemical Division employees can be integrated into [deletion]

subproject, in addition to its primary objective, will be of very
great secondary help

in simplifying and eliminating many of the very awkward and
dangerous conditions facing certain Chemical Division
employees.
VII. Advantages and Benefits Accruing to TSS.
The contemplated arrangements will result in many advantages
and benefits, including the following:
(a) One-sixth of the total space in the new research wing is to
be available to [deletion] and in turn, will be available to the
Chemical Division of TSS. This will provide laboratory and
office space, technical assistants, equipment and experimental
animals for use of Chemical Division personnel in connection
with specific future projects.
(b) The cost of Chemical Division projects which are to be
carried out under this cover will be covered by funds made
available through Project MKULTRA, and projects will be
subject to the procedures and controls established for
MKULTRA. The funds will be passed through [deletion] as has
been done in the past. [deletion] in turn will either pay expenses
directly or transfer the money to the University for this purpose.
Each project will be individually funded based on its particular
budget, and there will be no other continuing or recurring
charges for items such as space, facilities, etc.
(c) The Agency's sponsorship of sensitive research projects
would be completely deniable since no connections would exist
between the University and the Agency.

(d) Excellent professional cover would be provided for up to

three bio-chemical employees of the Chemical Division of TSS.
This would allow open attendance of scientific meetings, the
advancement of personal standing in the scientific world. and as
such, would constitute a major efficiency and
-5-

morale booster.
(e) Human patients and volunteers for experiment use will be
available under excellent clinical conditions with the full
supervision of [one line deleted]
(f) There would be available the equivalent of a hospital
safehouse.
(g) It is expected that the output of useful results of the
Chemical Division in the bio-chemical field will be greatly
improved through the more efficient use of technical personnel
who would be able to spend more of their time on actual
laboratory work.
(h) [one and a half lines deleted]
(i) Excellent facilities would be provided for recruiting new
scientific personnel since members of the Chemical Division
working under this cover will be in daily contact with members
of the Graduate School of the University.
(j) The regular University library and reprint service will be
available as a source of technical information.
VIII. Funding.
It is proposed that $125,000 be granted to [deletion]. If approval
is granted, TSS will arrange for payment to be made under the
procedures and controls of MKULTRA. These funds would
come out of the presently approved TSS Research and
Development budget for FY 1955 and no new funds are
involved. The funds would be transferred as a grant to [deletion]
In turn [deletion] will match these funds with an equal amount
and donate a total of $250,000 to the University as outlined in

paragraph V. The sum of $125,000 would be entirely in the

nature of a grant and would in due
-6-

course be merged with the entire $3,000,000 raised for the
construction of the wing. The Agency would retain no residual
interest in the building or title to any equipment or facilities
purchased with this money.
This single grant will constitute the Agency's entire participation
in the new hospital wing, and there will be no recurring
obligations in the form of annual support of the hospital or
additional grants. Transmission of Agency funds to [deletion]
will be made through previously established cover channels set
up by the [deletion] for similar transmittals in the past. The
donation on [deletion]s books will be shown as having been
received from [deletion].
In the future when TSS sponsors sensitive research projects
which are to be carried out in [deletion] each project will be
individually financed through [deletion] as it has been in the past
in accordance with previously established procedures and
controls using allotted portions of the annual Research and
Development budget. The University will be totally unwitting of
Agency sponsorship, and the projects to every outward
appearance will be sponsored by [deletion].
In the event of [deletion] death, [deletion] will continue in being
and any activities under this project will be continued through
[deletion] and will be unaffected by his death.
IX. Memorandum of Agreement.
A memorandum of agreement will be signed with [deletion]
outlining to the greater extent possible the arrangements under
which the hospital space under his control will be made available
to Chemical Division personnel and the manner in which cover
will be provided and other benefits obtained. No contract will be
signed since [deletion] would be unable to reflect any of the
Agency's contractual terms in his arrangements with the
University when [deletion] makes the donation in question. The
memorandum of agreement will be retained in TSS.

XI. Resultant Financial Saving.
The $125,000 to be contributed by CIA plus the $125,000 in
matching funds provided under P. L. 221 to the Building Fund
will be more than offset in a few years by the savings which will
result from use of this non-profit fund. If a research project at
[deletion] or other educational non-profit institution is sponsored
by the U.S. Government, it is customary for the Government to
pay for salaries, equipment, supplies, etc. and for overhead as
well. In the case of [deletion] the overhead amounts to 80% of
salaries. However, if a non-profit foundation such as [deletion]
sponsors research at a non-profit institution, the funds granted for
the work are customarily used to pay for salaries, equipment and
supplies but not for overhead. The Government dollar thus buys
considerably more research through [deletion] than would be the
case if no cut-out were used.
XII. Legal Matters.
This matter has been discussed with [deletion] of the Office of
General Counsel, and he is fully aware of all details surrounding
this grant.

SUBJECT: Trip Report, Visit to [deletion]
7 April 1958
1. The purpose of this trip was to make arrangements for
closing out the [deletion] project. [deletion] had been given
ample previous notice that such was likely to be the intent of the
visit, and he prepared himself accordingly.
2. It was explained to [deletion] that it would not be possible
to carry over funds beyond the end of the current fiscal year.
Therefore all work would have to be completed and all payments
made prior to 30 June. This deadline approved acceptable to him,
and it was agreed that I would make my final visit there to
receive reports and attend to final details on 16 June. [deletion]
did not have a current financial report, but he estimated that
funds currently on hand would be about sufficient for remaining
expenditures. He agreed to send the Society within the next 10
days a more exact statement of current balance and estimated
remaining expenditures. I tried to impress on him strongly that
transfer of additional funds and/or return of unexpended funds
must be completed well before the end of the fiscal year.
3. Of the 30 cases called for in the original design 18 have
been completed (but only 4 have been transcribed from the
tapes). In addition there are 8 cases in progress (of which two are
already in interview and 6 are worked up to the point of having
the lists of questions prepared). It was agreed that to meet the
deadline we would have to limit the design to these 26 cases.
4. It is apparent that [deletion] is so involved in the
administrative problems of the project that he is not paying any
attention to the results. Since to date only 4 cases have been
transcribed there is no way of telling what is coming out of it. I
assume there were no dramatic reactions, because the
interviewers would have let him know about them had they

emerged. It is possible, however, that our own analysis of the

data may dredge up something of value, although I am dubious
on this point.
5. [deletion] gave me his usual long involved talk on the
difficulties he had encountered which account for the delays. He
also talked at some

length about his "experiments" with hypnosis, some aspects of
which are mildly hair-raising. Finally he made quite a pitch for
continuing some such project as this next year, "with realistic,
specific deadlines." I told him we would discuss possibilities
after the present project was completed and we had a chance to
closely examine the take.

The experiment designed to test the effectiveness of certain

medication in causing individuals to release guarded information
has been completed in accordance with the original experimental
design, with the exception that 25 instead of 30 cases were used.
This matter was discussed in more detail in my letter of July 15.
Abstracts on all 25 cases, transcriptions of the interviews,
Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Tests given at the hospital and
previously given at this clinic, post-experimental rankings and
evaluation sheets, and a schedule covering the drug
administration have all been submitted to you under separate
cover.
Enclosed is a financial statement which represents the final
accounting of the funds allocated by you for use in this project.
If, for your purpose, you require a more detailed summary of
what specific professional services were performed or more
detail with reference to travel expenses or any other item, kindly
let me know.
You will note, in this connection, that Dr. [deletion] was
compensated in an amount exceeding that paid to Dr. [deletion]
This was occasioned by the fact that Dr. [deletion] spent much
time checking the files and records at the [deletion] and
[deletion] Prison selecting cases that might be suitable for our
purpose. It was from the cases selected by him that the subjects
used in the experiment were finally chosen.
I have been instructed to write a check to the Society for the
balance in the account as of today. I would like to

RESEARCH PLAN
LOCATION
The research Project will be carried out at the [deletion]
located at [deletion] which is located [deletion]. The hospital has
one thousand, one hundred and thirty-five (1,135) beds. At the
present time there are one hundred forty-two (142) nonpsychotics classified as criminal-sexual psychopaths. There are
four full-time psychiatrists and varying numbers of medical
interns; two psychologists; four social workers; nurses and
attendants. The superintendent of the Hospital is [deletion], a
witting member of the research team. The institution comes
under the direction of the Executive Secretary of the State
Department of Mental Health and any research project is
normally approved by the Co-ordinator of Research of the State
Department of Mental Health. [deletion] will secure this
approval. [deletion] will make space available and it is possible
for the research team to sleep at the Hospital while carrying out
their investigation.
SUBJECTS
The subjects will be selected from the one hundred and fortytwo (142) criminal-sexual psychopaths on whom there is an
adequate previous investigation including police reports,
physical, psychiatric and psychologic organizations and social
histories. The age range of the

his city position, he also maintains a private practice in the field
of general medicine.
[deletion] has suggested one of the psychiatrists from his staff
who is interested and has used drugs in the treatment of patients
and has also used hypnosis with mental patients. The research
assistants have not been selected as yet but might well include
psychologists or medics now attached to [deletion]. The secretary
will be [deletion] present secretary who will do all the necessary
stenographic work in addition to her present duties.
EXPERIMENTAL BASICS:
Three teams of two senior professional men each will be
selected. One team working with the selected group of patients
will use straight interrogation, hypnosis and hypnosis and LSD
and hypnosis and a
-3-

tetrahydrocannabinol acetate derivative. Another team working
on another group of subjects will use straight interrogation, LSD
with interrogation and a tetrahydrocannabinol acetate derivative
and interrogation. Later the third team with another group of
subjects will use straight interrogation and a combination of LSD
and a tetrahydrocannabinol acetate derivative.
A meeting of all the members of the research project will be
briefed on the drugs to be used and all of the pharmacological
and medical knowledge gained so far in the use of these drugs.
In selecting groups of subjects for experimentation, the
following objectives will be sought:
1) Subjects will be selected who have denied allegations of
various kinds that can be chocked or strongly assumed on the
basis of previously established records.
2) As far as possible, the actual research man administering
drugs will note aware of the drug he is administering and
placebos will be interspersed with drug administration.

1. Subproject 42 is to be continued for the same purpose as

when originally established: to support [deletion] covert and
realistic field trials of certain research and development items of
interest to TSD, and to maintain the physical facilities required
for these trials.
2. In the past year a number of covert and realistic field trials
have been successfully carried out. The results of these
experiments have provided factual data essential to establishing
protocols for a number of contemplated operations. A
continuation of covert and realistic field trials are necessitated by
the production of new materials in TSD programs, particularly in
areas requiring detailed knowledge of the effectiveness and
efficiency of delivery systems. Additional trials are also
necessitated by the need for better controlled "field-type"
experiments.
3. The estimated cost of the project is $5,000,000 for a period
of six months. Charges should be made against Allotment 11251390-3902.
4. Accounting for funds and equipment under this subproject
has been established on a detailed basis with the auditor and will
continue as in the past.

now engaged in by [deletion], under the direction of TSD/RB
with the exception of those cutout functions specifically
mentioned in connection with other MKULTRA subprojects. In
general, the research effort under this subproject will continue
along the lines laid down in previous years. These involve the
synthesis and pharmacological and clinical evaluation of
compounds of those chemical families known to have application
in the psychochemical and "K" fields. During the past year
important progress has been made in the area related to stressor
compounds and the relationship of these materials to the
physiological pathways through which both stress and the
reaction to it are mediated in human beings. As indicated in the
attached proposal, the work of the past year has progressed to the
point where more definitive experiments on the stress reaction
can be carried out. Primarily this was brought about by the
characterization of several new materials which produce stress
reaction in humans and the application of some new clinical
methods of measuring the extent of the disturbance produced.
During the next year proportionally more effort will be expended
on the problem of the development of new

"knock-out" types of agents since progress has been slower than
is desirable in this direction and because a new approach to the
problem has been worked out.

SUBJECT: MKULTRA, Subproject 149
1. This subproject is being established for the purpose of
supporting realistic tests of certain development items and
delivery systems of interest to TSD/BB.
[handwritten note: 31 Jan '64 Testing in stand-down until policy
issues (illegible) at DCI level. OK to (illegible)]
2. During the course of development it is sometimes found
that certain very necessary experiments or tests are not suited to
ordinary laboratory facilities. At the same time, it would be
difficult if not impossible to conduct such tests as operational
field tests. This project is designed to provide a capability and
facilities to fill this intermediate requirement.
3. The activities under this subproject will be conducted by
Mr. [deletion], an individual in the import and export business, in
[deletion] Mr. [deletion] holds a TOP SECRET Treasury
Department clearance and a SECRET Agency approval. He is
completely witting of the aims and goals of his activities.
4. Mr. [deletion] possesses unique facilities and personal
abilities which makes him invaluable in this kind of testing
operation. Mr. [deletion] because of his peculiar talents and

-2capabilities as well as his excellent connections with all of the
local law enforcement agencies, will provide a unique and
essential capability. Because Mr. [deletion] is no longer resident
of the [deletion] area, it is necessary that a suitable replacement

a. Specialized instrumentation and numerous testing

techniques have been developed to obtain the desired dynamic
data.
b. Considerable data has now been obtained supporting the
resonance-cavitation theory of brain concussion.
c. Preliminary acceleration threshold data has been
obtained for a fluid-filled glass simulated skull.
d. Data has been obtained on the nature and the magnitude
of pressure fluctuations within a glass simulated skull subject to
either impact or sound waves propagated in air.
e. Initial studies have been made on the simulated glass
skull attempting to establish the cavitation patterns for various
types of impact.
7. The proposed method and program plan remain the same as
stated in the original proposal, except for the temporary deletion
of the immersion blast study.
8. The current level of activity on this project can be indicated by
the most recent billing to the [deletion] for the month of
November, which amounted to $4,034.61.
9. In the interest of efficiency and economy it is requested that at
least this level of activity be maintained for the coming year.

10.0 POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS OF THE RESEARCH
FUNDING
10.1 Trotter, W. defines brain concussion as: "an essentially
transient state due to head injury which is of instantaneous onset,
manifests widespread symptoms of purely paralytic kind, does
not as such comprise any evidence of structural cerebral injury,
and is always followed by amnesia for the actual moment of the
accident."
10.2 The implication of the underlined portion of the above
statement is that if a technique were devised to induce brain
concussion without giving either advance warning or causing
external physical trauma, the person upon recovery would be
unable to recall what had happened to him. Under these

conditions the same technique of producing the concussion could

be re-used many times without disclosure of its nature.
10.3 First, considering the possibilities of direct impact to the
head or body, it should be possible from the findings of this
research program to determine the following:
a. Optimum design of impacting devices.
b. Optimum points of impact on skull or body.
c. Intensity of the blow for the effect desired.
10.4 In regard to the potential impacting devices, there are
certain design requisites that are apparent at this time:
a. The impact should be delivered without advance
warning.
b. The area of impact and force distribution should be such
that surface trauma does not occur.
c. The intensity of the impacting force and its duration
should be such as to obtain the desired effect.
d. The device should be as small and as silent as possible.
10.5 The specific impacting devices might take the form of any
of the following:
a. A pancake type black-jack giving a high peak impact
force with a low unit surface pressure.
b. Concealed or camouflaged spring-loaded impacting
devices that trigger upon contact with the head.
(Original and sole copy :agg)

c. A projectile type impactor such as an air gun using a
small shot filled sack for a projectile.
d. An explosive pad detonated in contact with the head or
the body.
10.6 Let us now consider the possibilities of exciting the
resonance cavitation directly without impact. There is
considerable evidence that resonance cavitation can be induced
directly in the following ways:
a. A blast wave propogated in air. (Blast Concussion)

b. Physical excitation with a mechanical driver or horn,

turned to the resonant frequency of the head.
10.7 A single blast pressure wave propogated in air must have
considerable intensity in order to produce brain concussion.
However, there is considerable evidence (Carver & Dinsley) that
modification of the pressure wave can produce profound effects.
10.8 Excitation of the resonance cavitation by using a tuned
driver at this time appears to be well within the realm of
possibility. The neurotic-like manifestations normally associated
with blast concussion could possibly be induced by this method.
Use of this method, however, would require actual physical
contact with the drivers.
10.9 Excitation of the resonance cavitation by tuned sound waves
also appears to be a reasonable possibility. Concentration of the
sound-field at some remote point could be effected with
acoustical lenses and reflectors. The blast duration would be in
the order of a tenth of a second. Masking of a noise of this
duration should not be too difficult.
11.0 It would possibly be advantageous to establish the
effectiveness of both of the above methods as a tool in brainwash therapy. A full knowledge of the method and the resulting
sequela should be of aid to any person forced to submit to such
treatment.
12.0 Possibly the most significant potential aspect of this study
would be in the development of practical means of giving a
person immunity, even though temporary, to brain concussion.
One technique that appears to have potentialities involves the
introduction of a small quantity of gas, approximately 1 cc, into
the spinal cord. This gas bubble would then normally migrate to
the ventricles located at the centrum of the brain. The ability of
this bubble to expand under dynamic loading would be most
effective in preventing resonance cavitation from occurring.

MATERIAL FOR THE RECORD

MKSEARCH, OFTEN/CHICKWIT
MKSEARCH was the name given to the continuation of the
MKULTRA program. Funding commenced in FY 1966, and
ended in FY 1972. Its purpose was to develop, test, and evaluate
capabilities in the covert use of biological, chemical, and
radioactive material systems and techniques for producing
predictable human behavioral and/or physiological changes in
support of highly sensitive operational requirements.
OFTEN/CHICKWIT
In 1967 the Office of Research and Development (ORD) and
the Edgewood Arsenal Research Laboratories undertook a
program for doing research on the identification and
characterization of drugs that could influence human behavior.
Edgewood had the facilities for the full range of laboratory and
clinical testing. A phased program was envisioned that would
consist of acquisition of drugs and chemical compounds believed
to have effects on the behavior of humans, and testing and
evaluation these materials through laboratory procedures and
toxicological studies. Compounds believed promising as a result
of tests on animals were then to be evaluated clinically with
human subjects at Edgewood. Substances of potential use would
then be analyzed structurally as a basis for identifying and
synthesizing possible new derivatives of greater utility.
The program was divided into two projects. Project OFTEN
was to deal with testing and toxicological, transmissivity and
behavioral effects of drugs in animals and, ultimately, humans.
Project CHICKWIT was concerned with acquiring information
on new drug developments in Europe and the Orient, and with
acquiring samples.
There is a discrepancy between the testimony of DOD and
CIA regarding the testing at Edgewood Arsenal in June 1973.
While there is agreement that human testing occurred at that
place and time, there is disagreement as to who was responsible
for financing and sponsorship. (See hearings before the
Subcommittee, September 21, 1977.)

Honorable Daniel K. Inouye, Chairman

Dear Mr. Chairman:
During Admiral Turner's 3 August 1977 testimony before
your Committee and the Senate Human Resources Subcommittee
on Health and Scientific Research, you asked whether any
Agency employees had been terminated because of their
participation in MKULTRA Subproject 3. Admiral Turner
indicated he did not believe any employee had been terminated,
but would have Agency records searched on this question. Our
records have been searched and the results confirm the Director's
testimony that no such actions were taken.
Sincerely,

QKHILLTOP DEFINITION
QKHILLTOP was a cryptonym assigned in 1954 to a project
to study Chines Communist brainwashing techniques and to
develop interrogation techniques. Most of the early studies are
believed to have been conducted by the Cornell University
Medical School Human Ecology Study Programs. The effort was
absorbed into the MKULTRA program and the QKHILLTOP
cryptonym became obsolete. The Society for the investigation of
Human Ecology, later the Human Ecology Fund, was an
outgrowth of the QKHILLTOP.

TESTIMONY OF ADM. STANSFIELD TURNER,

DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Accompanied by Frank Laubinger, Office of Technical Services; Al Brody, Office of
Inspector General; Ernest Mayerfield, Office of General Counsel; and George L. Cary,
Legislative Counsel
Admiral TURNER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to begin by thanking you and
Senator Kennedy for having a joint hearing this morning. I hope this will expedite and facilitate
our getting all the information that both of your committees need into the record quickly.
I would like also to thank you both for prefacing the remarks today by reminding us all that the
events about which we are here to talk are 12- to 24-years old. They in no way represent the
current activities or policies of the Central Intelligence Agency.
What we are here to do is to give you all the information that we now have and which we did not
previously have on a subject known s Project MKULTRA, a project which took place from 1953
to 1964. It was an umbrella project under which there were numerous subprojects for research,
among other things, on drugs and behavioral modification. What the new material that we offer
today is a supplement to the considerable material that was made available in 1975, during the
Church committee hearings, and also to the Senate Subcommittee on Health and Scientific
Research.
At that time, the CIA offered up all of the information and documents it believed it had available.
The principal one available at that time that gave the greatest amount of information on this
subject was a report of the CIA's Inspector General written in 1963, and which led directly to the
termination of this activity in 1964, 13 years ago.
The information available in 1975 to the various investigating groups was indeed sparse, first
because of the destruction of material that took place in 1973, as detailed by Senator Kennedy a
minute ago, with the concurrence of the then Director of Central Intelligence and under the
supervision of the Director of the Office of Technical Services that supervised Project
MKULTRA.

-9The material in 1975 was also sparse because most of the CIA people who had been involved in
1953 to 1964 in this activity had retired from the Agency. I would further add that I think the
material was sparse in part because it was the practice at that time not to keep detailed records in
this category.
For instance, the 1963 report of the Inspector General notes:
Present practice is to maintain no records of the planning and approval of test programs.
In brief, there were few records to begin with and less after the destruction of 1973.
What I would like to do now, though, is to proceed and let you know what the new material adds
to our knowledge of this topic, and I will start by describing how the material was discovered and
why it was not previously discovered. The material in question, some seven boxes, had been sent
to our Retired Records Center outside of the Washington area. It was discovered that as the result
of an extensive search by an employee charged with the responsibility for maintaining our
holdings on behavioral drugs and for responding to Freedom of Information Act requests on this
subject.
During the Church committee investigation of 1975, searches for MKULTRA-related material
were made by examining both the active and the retired records of all of the branches of CIA
considered likely to have had an association with MKULTRA documents. The retired records of
the Budget and Fiscal Section of the branch that was responsible for such work were not
searched, however. This was because the financial paper associated with sensitive projects such
as MKULTRA were normally maintained by the branch itself under the project title, MKULTRA,
not by the Budget and Fiscal Section under the project title, MKULTRA, not by the Budget and
Fiscal Section under a special budget file.
In the case at hand, however, this newly located material had been sent to the Retired Records
Center in 1970 by the Budget and Fiscal Section of this branch as part of its own retired holdings.
In short, what should have been filed by the branch itself was filed by the Budget and Fiscal
Section, and what should have been filed under the project title, MKULTRA, was filed under
budget and fiscal matters. The reason for this departure from the normal procedure of that time is
simply not known, and as a result of it, however, the material escaped retrieval and destruction in
1973, as well as discovery in 1975.
The employee who located this material did so by leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to
respond to a Freedom of Information Act request, or several of them, in fact. He reviewed all of
the listings of material of this branch, stored at the Retired Records Center, including those of the
Budget and Fiscal Section, and thus discovered the MKULTRA-related documents, which had
been missed in the previous searches.
In sum, the agency failed to uncover these particular documents in 1973, in the process of
attempting to destroy them. It similarly failed to locate them in 1975, in response to the Church
committee hearings. I am personally persuaded that there is no evidence of any attempt to conceal
this material during the earlier searches. Moreover, as we will discuss as we proceed, I do not

believe the material itself is such that
-10there would be a motive on the part of the CIA to withhold this, having disclosed what it did in
1975.
Next, let me move to the nature of this recently located material. It is important to remember what
I have just noted, that these folders that were discovered are finance folders. The bulk of the
material in them consists of approvals for the advance of funds, vouchers, and accountings and
such, most of which are not very informative as to the nature of the activities that they were
supporting. Occasional project proposals or memoranda commenting on some aspect of a
subproject are scattered throughout this material. In general, however, the recovered material does
not include overall status reports or other documents relating to operational considerations, or to
the progress on various subprojects, though some elaboration of the activities contemplated does
appear from time to time.
There are roughly three categories of projects. First, there are 149 MKULTRA subprojects, many
of which appear to have some connection with research into behavioral modification, drug
acquisition and testing, or administering drugs surreptitiously. Second, there are two boxes of
miscellaneous MKULTRA papers, including audit reports and financial statements from
intermediary funding mechanisms used to conceal CIA sponsorship of various research projects.
Finally, there are 33 additional subprojects concerning certain intelligence activities previously
funded under MKULTRA but which have nothing to do either with behavioral modifications,
drugs or toxins, or any closely related matter.
We have attempted to group the activities covered by the 149 subprojects into categories under
descriptive headings. In broad outline, at least, this presents the contents of these files. The
following 15 categories are the ones we have divided these into.
First, research into the effects of behavioral drugs and/or alcohol. Within this, there are 17
projects probably not involving human testing. There are 14 subprojects definitely involving
testing on human volunteers. There are 19 subprojects probably including tests on human
volunteers and 6 subprojects involving tests on unwitting human beings.
Second, there is research on hypnosis, eight subprojects, including two involving hypnosis and
drugs in combination.
Third, there are seven projects on the acquisition of chemicals or drugs.
Fourth, four subprojects on the aspects of the magician's art, useful in covert operations, for
instance, the surreptitious delivery of drug-related materials.
Fifth, there are nine projects on studies of human behavior, sleep research, and behavioral change
during psychotherapy.
Sixth, there are projects on library searches and attendants at seminars and international
conferences on behavioral modifications.

conducted with the Army Special Operations Division at Fort Detrich, Md. This activity is
outlined in Book I of the Church committee report, pages 388 to 389. (See Appendix A, pp. 6869).
Under CIA's Project MKNAOMI, the Army assisted the CIA in developing, testing, and
maintaining biological agents and delivery systems for use against humans as well as against
animals and crops.
Thirteenth, there are single subprojects in such areas as the effects of electroshock, harassment
techniques for offensive use, analysis of extrasensory perception, gas propelled sprays and
aerosols, and four subprojects involving crop and material sabotage.
Fourteenth, one or two subprojects on each of the following: blood grouping research; controlling
the activities of animals; energy storage and transfer in organic systems; and stimulus and
response in biological systems.
Finally, 15th, there are three subprojects canceled before any work was done on them having to
do with laboratory drug screening, research on brain concussion, and research on biologically
active materials.
Now, let me address how much this newly discovered material adds to what has previously been
reported to the Church committee and to Senator Kennedy's Subcommittee on Health. The answer
is basically additional detail. The principal types of activities included in these documents have
for the most part been outlined or to some extent generally described in what was previously
available in the way of documentation and which was supplied by the CIA to the Senate
investigators.
For example, financial disbursement records for the period of 1960 to 1964 for 76 of these 149
subprojects had been recovered by the Office of Finance at CIA and were made available to the
Church committee investigators. For example, the 1963 Inspector General report on MKULTRA
made available to both the Church Committee and the Subcommittee on Health mentions
electroshock and harassment substances, covert testing on unwitting U.S. citizens, the search for
new materials through arrangements with specialists in hospitals and universities, and the fact that

the Technical Service Division of CIA had initiated 144 subprojects related to the control of
human behavior.
For instance also, the relevant section of a 1957 Inspector General report was also made available
to the Church committee staff, and that report discusses the techniques for human assessment and
unorthodox methods of communication, discrediting and disabling materials which can be
covertly administered, studies on magicians' arts as applied to covert operations, and other similar
topics.
The most significant new data that has been discovered are, first, the names of researchers and
institutions who participated in
-12MKULTRA projects, and second, a possibly improper contribution by the CIA to a private
institution. We are now in the possession of the names of 185 nongovernment researchers and
assistants who are identified in the recovered material dealing with these 149 subprojects.
There are also names of 80 institutions where work was done or with which these people were
affiliated. The institutions include 44 colleges or universities, 15 research foundation or chemical
or pharmaceutical companies or the like, 12 hospitals or clinics, in addition to those associated
with the universities, and 3 penal institutions.
While the identities of some of these people and institutions were known previously, the
discovery of the new identities adds to our knowledge of MKULTRA.
The facts as they pertain to the possibly improper contribution are as follows. One project
involves a contribution of $375,000 to a building fund of a private medical institution. The fact
that that contribution was made was previously known. Indeed, it was mentioned in the 1957
report of the Inspector General on the Technical Service Division of CIA that supervised
MKULTRA, and pertinent portions of this had been reviewed by the Church committee staff.
The newly discovered material, however, makes it clear that this contribution was made through
an intermediary, which made it appear to be a private donation. As a private donation, the
contribution was then matched by Federal funds. The institution was not made aware of the true
source of the gift. This project was approved by the then Director of Central Intelligence and
concurred in by CIA's top management including the then General Counsel, who wrote an
opinion supporting the legality of the contribution.
The recently discovered documents also give greater insight into the scope of an unwitting nature
of the drug testing, but contribute little more than that. We now do have corroborating
information that some of the unwitting drug testing was carried out in what is known in the
intelligence trade as safe houses in San Francisco and in New York City, and we have identified
that three individuals were involved in this undertaking, whereas we previously reported there
was only one person.
We also know that some unwitting testing took place on criminal sexual psychopaths confined at
a State hospital, and that additionally research was done on a knockout or K drug in parallel with
research to develop painkillers for cancer patients.

These, then, are the principal findings identified to date in our review of this recovered material.
As noted earlier, we believe the detail on the identities of researchers and institutions involved in
CIA sponsorship of drug and behavioral modification research is a new element and one which
poses a considerable problem. Most of the people and institutions involved were not aware of
CIA sponsorship. We should certainly assume that the researchers and institutions which
cooperated with CIA on a witting basis acted in good faith and in the belief that they were aiding
their Government in a legitimate and proper purpose.
I believe that we all have a moral obligation to these researchers and institutions to protect them
from any unjustified embarrassment
-13or damage to their reputations which revelation of their identities might bring. In addition, I have
a legal obligation under the Privacy Act not to publicly disclose the names of the individual
researchers without their consent.
This is especially true, of course, for those researchers and institutions which were unwitting
participants in CIA sponsored activities.
Nonetheless, Mr. Chairman, I certainly recognize the right and the need of both the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research to
investigate the circumstances of these activities in whatever detail you consider necessary. I am
providing your committee with all of the documentation, including all of the names, on a
classified basis. I hope that this will facilitate your investigation while still protecting the
individuals and the institutions involved.
Let me emphasize again that the MKULTRA events are 12 to 24 years in the past, and I assure
you that CIA is in no way engaged in either witting or unwitting testing of drugs today.
Finally, I am working closely with the Attorney General on this matter. We are making available
to the Attorney General whatever materials he may deem necessary to any investigations that he
may elect to undertake. Beyond that, we are also working with the Attorney General to determine
whether it is practicable from this new evidence to identify any of the persons to whom drugs
were administered, but we are now trying to determine if there are adequate clues to lead to their
identification, and if so how best to go about fulfilling the Government's responsibilities in this
matter.
Mr. Chairman, as we proceed with that process of attempting to identify the individuals and then
determining what is our proper responsibility to them, I will keep both of these committees fully
advised. I thank you, sir.
Senator INOUYE. Thank you very much, Admiral Turner. Your spirit of cooperation is much
appreciated. I would like to announce to the committee that in order to give every member an
opportunity to participate in this hearing, that we would set a time limit of 10 minutes per
Senator.

or commission or agency was responsible for dreaming up this grandiose and sinister project, and
why was it necessary? What is the rationale or justification for such a project and was the
President of the United States aware of this?
Admiral TURNER. Mr. Chairman, I am going to ask Mr. Brody on my right, who is a long-time
member of the CIA to address that in more detail. I believe everything that we know about the
genesis was turned over to the Church committee and is contained in that material. Basically, it
was a CIA-initiated project. It started out of a concern of our being taken advantage of by other
powers who would use drugs against our personnel, and it was approved in the Agency. I have
asked the question you just asked me, and have been assured that there is no evidence within the
Agency of any involvement at higher echelons, the White House, for instance, or specific
approval. That does not say there was not, but we have no such evidence.
-14Mr. Brody, would you amplify on my comments there, please?

Mr. BRODY. Mr. Chairman, I really have very little to add to that. To my knowledge, there was
no Presidential knowledge of this project at the time. It was a CIA project, and as the admiral
said, it was a project designed to attempt to counteract what was then thought to be a serious
threat by our enemies of using drugs against us. Most of what else we know about is in the Senate
Church committee report.
Senator INOUYE. Are you suggesting that it was intentionally kept away from the Congress and
the President of the United States?
Admiral TURNER. No, sir. We are only saying that we have no evidence one way or the other
as to whether the Congress was informed of this particular project. There are no records to
indicate.
Senator INOUYE. Admiral Turner, are you personally satisfied by actual investigation that this
newly discovered information was not intentionally kept away from the Senate of the United
States?
Admiral TURNER. I have no way to prove that, sir. That is my conviction from everything I
have seen of it.
Senator INOUYE. Now, we have been advised that these documents were initially discovered in
March of this year, and you were notified in July of this year, or June of this year, and the
committee was notified in July. Can you tell us why the Director of Central Intelligence was
notified 3 months after its initial discovery, why the delay?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir. All this started with several Freedom of Information Act requests,
and Mr. Laubinger on my left was the individual who took it upon himself to pursue these
requests with great diligence, and got permission to go to the Retired Records Center, and then
made the decision to look not only under what would be the expected subject files, but through
every file with which the branch that conducted this type of activity had any conceivable
connection.

Very late in March, he discovered these seven boxes. He arranged to have them shipped from the
Retired Records Center to Washington, to our headquarters. They arrived in early April. He
advised his appropriate superiors, who asked him how long he thought it would take him to go
through these and screen them appropriately, clear them for Freedom of Information Act release.
There are, we originally estimated, 5,000 pages here. We now think that was an underestimation,
and it may be closer to 8,000 pages. He estimated it would take about 45 days or into the middle
of May to do that. He was told to proceed, and as he did so there was nothing uncovered in the
beginning of these 149 cases that appeared particularly startling or particularly additive to the
knowledge that had already been given to the Church committee, some details, but no major
revelations.
He and his associates proceeded with deliberateness, but not a great sense of urgency. There were
other interfering activities that came and demanded his time also. He was not able to put 100
percent of his time on it, and there did not appear to be cause for a great rush here. We were
trying to be responsive to the Freedom of Information Act request within the limits of our
manpower and our priorities.
-15In early June, however, he discovered two projects, the one related to K drugs and the one related
to the funding at the institution, and realized immediately that he had substantial new information,
and he immediately reported this to his superiors.
Two actions were taken. One was to notify the lawyers of the principal Freedom of Information
Act requestor that we would have substantial new material and that it would be forthcoming as
rapidly as possible, and the second was to start a memorandum up the chain that indicated his
belief that we should notify the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence of this discovery
because of the character at least of these two documents.
As that proceeded up from the 13th of June, at each echelon we had to go through the legal office,
the legislative liaison office and at each echelon about the same question was asked of him: Have
you gone through all of this, so that when we notify the Senate Select Committee we do not notify
half of the important revelations and not the other half? The last thing I want, Mr. Chairman, is in
any way to be on any topic, give the appearance on any topic of being recalcitrant, reluctant, or
having to have you drag things out of me, and my subordinates, much to my pleasure, had each
asked, have you really gone through these 8,000 pages enough to know that we are not going to
uncover a bombshell down at the bottom?
By late June, about the 28th, this process reached my deputy. He notified me after his review of it
on the 7th of July, which is the first I knew of it. I began reading into it. I asked the same probing
question directly. I then notified my superiors, and on the 15th delivered to you my letter letting
you know that we had this, and we have been working, many people, many hours since then, to
be sure that what we are telling you today does include all the relevant material.
Senator INOUYE. I would like to commend Mr. Laubinger for his diligence and expertise, but
was this diligence the result of the Freedom of Information Act or could this diligence have been
exercised during the Church hearings? Why was it not exercised? Admiral TURNER. There is
no question that theoretically this diligence could have been exercised at any time, and it may

well be that the Freedom of Information Act has made us more aware of this. Would you speak
for yourself, please.
Mr. LAUBINGER. I really don't attribute it, Senator, to diligence so much as thoroughness. If
you can imagine the pressures under an organization trying to respond, which I think the CIA did
at the time of the Church committee hearings, the hallways of the floor I am on were full of boxes
from our records center. Every box that anyone thought could possibly contain anything was
called up for search. It was one of a frantic effort to comply.
When the pressure of that situation cools down, and you can start looking at things systematically,
you are apt to find things that you wouldn't under the heat of a crash program, and that is what
happened here.
Senator INOUYE. Thank you very much. Senator Kennedy?
Senator KENNEDY. Admiral Turner, this is an enormously distressing report that you give to
the American Congress and to the American people today. Granted, it happened many years ago,
but what we are
-16basically talking about is an activity which took place in the country that involved the perversion
and the corruption of many of our outstanding research centers in this country, with CIA funds,
where some of our top researchers were unwittingly involved in research sponsored by the
Agency in which they had no knowledge of the background or the support for.
Much of it was done with American citizens who were completely unknowing in terms of taking
various drugs, and there are perhaps any number of Americans who are walking around today on
the east coast or west coast who were given drugs, with all the kinds of physical and
psychological damage that can be caused. We have gone over that in very careful detail, and it is
significant and severe indeed.
I do not know what could be done in a less democratic country that would be more alien to our
own traditions than was really done in this narrow area, and as you give this report to the
committee, I would like to get some sense of your own concern about this type of activity, and
how you react, having assumed this important responsibility with the confidence of President
Crater and the overwhelming support, obviously, of the Congress, under this set of circumstances.
I did not get much of a feeling in reviewing your statement here this morning of the kind of
abhorrence to this type of past activity which I think the American people would certainly deplore
and which I believe that you do, but could you comment upon that question, and also perhaps
give us what ideas you have to insure that it cannot happen again?
Admiral TURNER. Senator Kennedy, it is totally abhorrent to me to think of using a human
being as a guinea pig and in any way jeopardizing his life and his health, no matter how great the
cause. I am not here to pass judgment on my predecessors, but I can assure you that this is totally
beyond the pale of my contemplation of activities that the CIA or any other of our intelligence
agencies should undertake.

I am taking and have taken what I believe are adequate steps to insure that such things are not
continuing today.
Senator KENNEDY. Could you tell us a little bit about that?
Admiral TURNER. I have asked for a special report assuring me that there are no drug activities
extant, that is, drug activities that involve experimentation. Obviously, we collect intelligence
about drugs and drug use in other countries, but there are no experimentations being conducted by
the Central Intelligence Agency, and I have had a special check made because of another incident
that was uncovered some years ago about the unauthorized retention of some toxic materials at
the CIA. I have had an actual inspection made of the storage places and the certification from the
people in charge of those that there are no such chemical biological materials present in our
keeping, and I have issued express orders that that shall not be the case.
Beyond that, I have to rely in large measure on my sense of command and direction of the people
and their knowledge of the attitude I have just expressed to you in this regard.
Senator KENNEDY. I think that is very commendable.
Admiral TURNER. Thank you, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. I think it is important that the American people understand that.
-17You know, much of the research which is our area of interest that was being done by the Agency
and the whole involved sequence of activities done by the Agency, I am convinced could have
been done in a legitimate way through the research programs of the National Institutes of Mental
Health, other sponsored activities, I mean, that is some other question, but I think you went to an
awful lot of trouble, where these things could have been.
Let me ask you specifically, on the followup of MKULTRA, are there now -- I think you have
answered, but I want to get a complete answer about any experimentations that are being done on
human beings, whether it is drugs or behavioral alterations or patterns or any support, either
directly or indirectly, being provided by the Agency in terms of any experimentation on human
beings.
Admiral TURNER. There is no experimentation with drugs on human beings, witting or
unwitting, being conducted in any way.
Senator KENNEDY. All right. How bout the nondrug experimentation our Committee has seen - psychosurgery, for example, or psychological research?
Admiral TURNER. We are continually involved in what we call assessment of behavior. For
instance, we are trying to continually improve our polygraph procedures to, you know, assess
whether a person is lying or not. This does not involve any tampering with the individual body.
This involves studying records of people's behavior under different circumstances, and so n, but it
is not an experimental thing. Have I described that accurately, Al?

Mr. BRODY. Yes.

Senator KENNEDY. Well, it is limited to those areas?
Admiral TURNER. Yes; it does not involve attempting to modify behavior. It only involves
studying behavior conditions, but not trying to actively modify it, as was one of the objectives of
MKULTRA.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, we are scarce on time, but I am interested in the other areas besides
polygraph where you are doing it. Maybe you can either respond now or submit it for the record,
if you would do that. Would you provide that for the record?
Admiral TURNER. Yes.
[The material on psychological assessments follows:]
Psychological assessments are performed as a service to officers in the operations directorate who recruit and/or
handle agents. Except for people involved in training courses, the subjects of the assessments are foreign nationals.
The assessments are generally done to determine the most successful tactic to persuade the subject to accept convert
employment by the CIA, and to make an appraisal of his reliability and truthfulness.
A majority of the work is done by a staff of trained psychologists, some of whom are stationed overseas. The
assessments they do may be either direct or indirect. Direct assessments involve a personal interview of the subject
by the psychologist. When possible the subject is asked to complete a formal "intelligence test" which is actually a
disguised psychological test. Individuals being assessed are not given drugs, nor are they subjected to physical
harassment or torture. When operating conditions are such that a face-to-face interview is not possible, the
psychologist may do an indirect assessment, using as source materials descriptions of the subject by others,
interviews with people who know him, specimens of his writings, etc.
-18The other psychological assessments involve handwriting analysis or graphological assessment. The work is done by
a pair of trained graphologists, assisted by a small number of measurement technicians. They generally require at
least a page of handwritten script by the subject. Measurements are made of about 30 different writing characteristics,
and these are charted and furnished to the graphologist for assessments.
The psychologists also give courses in psychological assessment to group of operations officers, to sharpen their own
capabilities to size up people. As part of the training course, the instructor does a psychological assessment of each
student. The students are writing participants, and results are discussed with them.
It is important to reiterate that psychological assessments are only a service to the operations officers. In the final
analysis, it is the responsibility of the operations officer to decide how a potential agent should be approached, or to
make a judgment as to whether any agent is telling the truth.
Admiral TURNER. The kind of thing we are interested in is, what will motivate a man to
become an agent of the United States in a difficult situation. We have to be familiar with that kind
of attitudinal response that we can expect from people we approach to for one reason or another
become our spies, but I will be happy to submit a very specific listing of these.
Senator KENNEDY. Would you do that for the committee?

also a report on those particular programs?

Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. Did they involve experimentation, human experimentation?
Admiral TURNER. No, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. None of them?
Admiral TURNER. Let me say this, that the CHICKWIT program is the code name for the CIA
participation in what was basically a Department of Defense program. This program was
summarized and reported to the Church committee, to the Congress, and I have since they have
been rementioned in the press in the last 2 days here, I have not had time to go through and
personally review them. I have ascertained that all of the files that we had and made available
before are intact, and I have put a special order out that nobody will enter those files or in any
way touch them without my permission at this point, but they are in the Retired Records Center
outside of Washington, and they are available.
I am not prepared to give you full details on it, because I simply haven't read into that part of our
history, but in addition I would suggest when we want to get into that we should get the
Department of Defense in with us.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, you will supply that information to the Intelligence Committee, the
relevant, I mean, the health aspects, obviously, and the research we are interested in?
Senator KENNEDY. Will you let us know, Admiral Turner?
Admiral TURNER. I will be happy to.
[See p. 169 for the material referred to.]
Senator KENNEDY. Thank you. I am running out of time. Do you support the extension of the
protection of human subjects legislation to include the CIA and the DOD? You commented
favorably on that
-19before, and I am hopeful we can get that on the calendar early in September, and that is our strong
interest.
Admiral TURNER. The CIA certainly has no objection to that proposed legislation, sir. It is not
my role in the administration to be the supporter of it or the endorser of it.
Senator KENNEDY. As a personal matter, since you have reviewed these subjects, would you
comment? I know it is maybe unusual, but you can understand what we are attempting to do.

Senator KENNEDY. From your own experience in the agency, you can understand the value of
it.
Just finally, in your own testimony now with this additional information, it seems quite apparent
to me that you can reconstruct in very careful detail this whole project in terms of the responsible
CIA officials for the program. You have so indicated in your testimony. Now with the additional
information, and the people, that have been revealed in the examination of the documents, it
seems to be pretty clear that you can track that whole program in very careful detail, and I would
hope, you know, that you would want to get to the bottom of it, as the Congress does as well. I
will come back to that in my next round. Thank you very much.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Goldwater?
Senator GOLDWATER. I have no questions.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Schweiker?
Admiral Turner, I would like to go back to your testimony on page 12, where you discuss the
contribution to the building fund of a private medical institution. You state, "Indeed, it was
mentioned in a 1957 Inspector General report on the Technical Services Division of CIA,
pertinent portions of which had been reviewed by the Church committee staff." I would like to
have you consider this question very carefully. I served as a member o the original Church
committee. My staffer did a lot of the work that you are referring to here. He made notes on the
IG's report. My question to you is, are you saying that the section that specifically delineates an
improper contribution was in fact given to the Church committee staff to see?
Admiral TURNER. The answer to your question is "Yes." The information that a contribution
had been made was made available, to the best of my knowledge.
Senator SCHWEIKER. To follow this up further, I'd like to say that I think there was a serious
flaw in the way that the IG report was handled and the Church committee was limited. I am not
making any accusations, but because of limited access to the report, we have a situ-
-20ation where it is not even clear whether we actually saw that material or not, simply because we
could not keep a copy of the report under the procedures we had to follow. We were limited by
notetaking, and so it is rather ambiguous as to just what was seen and what was not seen. I
certainly hope that the new Intelligence Committee will not be bound by procedures that restrict
its ability to exercise effective oversight.
I have a second question. Does it concern you, Admiral, that we used a subterfuge which resulted
in the use of Federal construction grant funds to finance facilities for these sorts of experiments
on our own people? Because as I understand what you are saying, while the CIA maybe only put
up $375,000, this triggered a response on the part of the Federal Government to provide on a

good faith basis matching hospital funds at the same level. We put up more than $1 million of
matching funds, some based on an allegedly private donation which was really CIA money.
Isn't there something basically wrong with that?
Admiral TURNER. I certainly believe there is. As I stated, the General Counsel of the CIA at
that time rendered a legal opinion that this was a legal undertaking, and again I am hesitant to go
back and revisit the atmosphere, the laws, the attitudes at that time, so whether the counsel was on
good legal ground or not, I am not enough of a lawyer to be sure, but it certainly would occur to
me if it happened today as a very questionable activity.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, I think those of us who have worked on and amended the HillBurton Act and other hospital construction assistance laws over the years, would have a rather
different opinion on the legal intent or object of Congress in passing laws to provide hospital
construction project money. These funds weren't intended for this.
It reminds me a little bit of the shellfish toxin situation which turned up when I was on the Church
committee. The Public Health Service was used to produce a deadly poison with Public Health
money. Here we are using general hospital construction money to carry on a series of drug
experimentation.
Admiral TURNER. Excuse me, sir. If I could just be, I think, accurate, I don't think any of this
$375,000 or the matching funds were used to conduct drug experiments. They were used to build
the hospital. Now, the CIA the put more money into a foundation that was conducting research on
the CIA's behalf supposedly in that hospital, so the intent was certainly there, but the money was
not used for experimentation.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, I understand it was used for bricks and mortar, but the bricks
were used to build the facility where the experiments were carried on; were they not?
Admiral TURNER. We do not have positive evidence that they were. It certainly would seem
that that was the intent, but I do not want to draw inferences here -Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, why else would they give this money for the building fund if the
building was not used for a purpose that benefited the CIA program?
Admiral TURNER. I certainly draw the inference that the CIA expected to benefit from it, and
some of the wording says the General
-21Counsel's opinion was that this was legal only if the CIA was going to derive adequate benefit
from it, but, sir, there is no evidence of what benefit was derived.
Senator SCHWEIKER. There must have been some pretty good benefits at stake. The Atomic
Energy Commission was to bear a share of the cost, and when they backed out for some reason or
another, the CIA picked up part of their tab. So, at two different points there were indications that
CIA decisionmakers thought there was great benefit to be derived from whatever happened within
the brick and mortar walls of that facility.

Admiral TURNER. You are absolutely right. I am only taking the position that I cannot
substantiate that there was benefit derived.
Senator SCHWEIKER. The agreement documents say that the CIA would have access to onesixth of the space involved in the construction of the wing, so how would you enter into an
agreement that specifically says that you will have access to and use of one-sixth of the space and
not perform something in that space? I cannot believe it was empty.
Admiral TURNER. Sir, I am not disputing you at all, but both of us are saying that the inference
is that one-sixth of the space was used, that experimentation was done, and so on, but there is no
factual evidence of what went on as a result of that payment or what went on in that hospital. It is
just missing. It is not that it didn't happen.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Admiral Turner, one other-Senator KENNEDY. Would the Senator yield on that point?
Senator SCHWEIKER. I understand that in the agency's documents on the agreement it was
explicitly stated that one-sixth of the facility would be designated for CIA use and made available
for CIA research are you familiar-Mr. BRODY. Senator, as I recall, you are right in that there is a mention of one-sixth, but any
mention at all has to do with planning. There are no subsequent reports as to what happened after
the construction took place.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Admiral Turner, I read in the New York Times that part of this series of
MKULTRA experiments involved an arrangement with the Federal Bureau of Narcotics to test
LSD surreptitiously on unwitting patrons in bars in New York and San Francisco. Some of the
subjects became violently ill and were hospitalized. I wonder if you would just briefly describe
what we were doing there and how it was carried out? I assume it was through a safe house
operation. I don't believe your statement went into much detail.
Admiral TURNER. I did mention the safe house operation in my statement, sir, and that is how
these were carried out. What we have learned from the new documentation is the location and the
dates at which the safe houses were run by the CIA and the identification of three individuals who
were associated with running those safe houses. We know something about the construction work
that was done in them because there were contracts for this. Beyond that, we are pretty much
drawing inferences as to the things that went on as to what you are saying here.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, the subjects were unwitting. You can infer that much, right?
Admiral TURNER. Right.

got it.

Mr. BRODY. Senator, that would be -- contacts were made, as we understand it, in bars, et
cetera, and then the people may have been invited to these safe houses. There really isn't any
indication as to the fact that this took place in bars.
Admiral TURNER. We are trying to be very precise with you, sir, and not draw an inference
here. There are 6 cases of these 149 where we have enough evidence in this new documentation
to substantiate that there was unwitting testing and some of that involves these safe houses. There
are other cases where it is ambiguous as to whether the testing was witting or voluntary. There are
others where it was clearly voluntary.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Of course, after a few drinks, it is questionable whether informed
consent means anything to a person in a bar anyway.
Admiral TURNER. Well, we don't have any indication that all these cases where it is ambiguous
involved drinking of any kind. There are cases in penal institutions where it is not clear whether
the prisoner was given a choice or not. I don't know that he wasn't given a choice, but I don't
positively know that he was, and I classify that as an ambiguous incident.
Senator INOUYE. Your time is up, Senator.
Senator Huddleston?
Senator HUDDLESTON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Admiral Turner, you stated in your testimony that you are convinced there was no attempt to
conceal this recently discovered documentation during the earlier searches. Did you question the
individuals connected with the earlier search before you made that judgment?
Admiral TURNER. Yes; I haven't, I don't think, questioned everybody who looked in the files or
is still on our payroll who looked in the files back in 1975, but Mr. Laubinger on my left is the
best authority on this, and I have gone over it with him in some detail.
Senator HUDDLESTON. But you have inquired, you think, sufficiently to assure yourself that
there was no intent on the part of any person to conceal these records from the previous
committee?
Admiral TURNER. I am persuaded of that both by my questioning of people and by the
circumstances and the way in which these documents were filed, by the fact which I did not and
should have mentioned in my testimony, that these were not the official files. The ones that we
have received or retrieved were copies of files that were working files that somebody had used,
and therefore were slipped into a different location, and again I say to you , sir, I can't imagine
their deliberately concealing these particular files and revealing the other things that they did
reveal in 1975. I don't see the motive for that, because these are not that damning compared with
the overall material that was provided.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Is this the kind of operation that if it were continuing now or if there
were anything similar to it, that you would feel compelled to report to the Select Committee on
Intelligence?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir. You mean, if I discovered that something like this were going on
without my knowledge? Yes, I would feel absolutely the requirement to --

the committee? I assume you would.
Admiral TURNER. Yes. Well, it would not be going on with my knowledge, but theoretically
the answer is yes, sir.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Well, then, what suggestions would you have as we devise charters
for the various intelligence agencies? What provision would you suggest to prohibit this kind of
activity from taking place? Would you suggest that it ought to be specifically outlined in a
statutory charter setting out the parameters of the permissible operation of the various agencies?
Admiral TURNER. I think that certainly is something we must consider as we look at the
legislation for charters. I am not on the face of it opposed to it. I think we would have to look at
the particular wording as we are going to have to deal with the whole charter issue as to exactly
how precise you want to be in delineating restraints and curbs on the intelligence activities.
Senator HUDDLESTON. In the case of sensitive type operations, which this certainly was,
which might be going on today, is the oversight activity of the agency more intensive now than it
was at that time?
Admiral TURNER. Much more so. I mean, I have briefed you, sir, and the committee on our
sensitive operations. We have the Intelligence Oversight Board. We have a procedure in the
National Security Council for approval of very sensitive operations. I think the amount of
spotlight focused on these activities is many, manyfold what it was in these 12 to 24 years ago.
Senator HUDDLESTON. How about the record keeping?
Admiral TURNER. Yes; I can't imagine anyone having the gall to think that he can just blithely
destroy records today with all of the attention that has come to this, and certainly we are
emphasizing that that is not the case.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Admiral, I was particularly interested in the activity that took place at
the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital at Lexington, Ky., in which a Dr. Harris Isbell conducted
experiments on people who were presumably patients there. There was a narcotics institution, I
take it, and Dr. Isbell was, according to the New York Times story, carrying on a secret series of
correspondence with an individual at the agency by the name of Ray. Have you identified who
that person is?
Admiral TURNER. Sir, I find myself in a difficult position here at a public hearing to confirm or
deny these names in view of my legal responsibilities under the Privacy Act not to disclose the
names of individuals here.
Senator HUDDLESTON. I am just asking you if you have identified the person referred to in
that article as Ray. I am not asking you who he was. I just want to know if you know who he is.
Admiral TURNER. No. I am sorry, was this W-r-a-y or R-a-y?

had some connection with these activities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Senator WALLOP. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Admiral Turner, not all of the -- and in no way trying to excuse you of the hideous nature of some
of these projects, but not all of the projects under MKULTRA are of a sinister or even a moral
nature. Is that a fair statement?
Admiral TURNER. That is correct.
Senator WALLOP. Looking down through some of these 17 projects not involving human
testing, aspects of the magician's art, it doesn't seem as though there is anything very sinister
about that. Studies of human behavior and sleep research, library searches. Now, those things in
their way are still of interest, are they not, to the process of intelligence gathering?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir. I have not tried to indicate that we either are not doing or would not
do any of the things that were involved in MKULTRA, but when it comes to the witting or
unwitting testing of people with drugs, that is certainly verboten, but there are other things.
Senator WALLOP. Even with volunteer patients? I mean, I am not trying to put you on the spot
to say whether it is going on, but I mean, it is not an uncommon thing, is it, in the prisons of the
United States for the Public Health Service to conduct various kinds of experiments with vaccines
and, say, sunburn creams? I know in Arizona they have done so.

that this is not the CIA's business, and that if we need some information in that category, I would
prefer to go to the other appropriate authorities of the Government and ask them to get it for us
rather than to in any way-Senator WALLOP. Well, you know, you have library searches and attendants at the national
seminars. This is why I wanted to ask you if the bulk of these projects were in any way the kinds
of things that the Agency might not do now. A President would not have been horrified by the list
of the legitimate types of things. Isn't that probably the case?
Senator WALLOP. And if it did in fact appear in the IG report, is there any reason to suppose
that the President did not know of this project? You said there was no reason to suppose that he
did, but let me reverse that. Is there any reason to suppose that they did not?
Admiral TURNER. No.
Senator WALLOP. Well, you know, I just cannot imagine you or literally anybody undertaking
projects of the magnitude of dollars here and just not knowing about it, not informing your
superior that
-25these were going on, especially when certain items of it appear in the Inspector General's report
on budget matters.
Admiral TURNER. Well, I find it difficult when it is that far back to hypothesize what the
procedures that the Director was using in terms of informing his superiors were. It is quite a
different climate from today, and I think we do a lot more informing to day than they did back
then, but I find it very difficult to guess what the level of knowledge was.
Senator WALLOP. I am really not asking you to second-guess it, but it just seems to me that,
while the past is past, and thank goodness we are operating under different sets of circumstances,
I think it is naive for us to suppose that these things were conducted entirely without the
knowledge of the Presidents of the United States during those times. It is just the kinds of
research information that was being sought was vital to the United States, not the means, but the
information that they were trying to find.
Admiral TURNER. I am sorry. Your question is, was this vital? Did we view it as vital?
Senator WALLOP. Well, your implication at the beginning was that it was a response to the
kinds of behavior that were seen in Cardinal Mindszenty's trial and other things. I mean,
somebody must have thought that this was an important defensive reaction, if nothing else, on the
part of the United States.

permeated the executive branch.

suggesting that anyone go back and do that kind of thing again, but I'm certain it would be of use

or improper use of drugs by other powers against our people or agents.

"TRUTH" DRUGS IN INTERROGATION

The search for effective aids to interrogation is probably as old as man's need to obtain information from
an uncooperative source and as persistent as his impatience to shortcut any tortuous path. In the annals of
police investigation, physical coercion has at times been substituted for painstaking and time-consuming
inquiry in the belief that direct methods produce quick results. Sir James Stephens, writing in 1883,
rationalizes a grisly example of "third degree" practices by the police of India: "It is far pleasanter to sit
comfortably in the shade rubbing red pepper in a poor devil's eyes than to go about in the sun hunting up
evidence."
More recently, police officials in some countries have turned to drugs for assistance in extracting
confessions from accused persons, drugs which are presumed
-26to relax the individual's defenses to the point that he unknowingly reveals truths he has been trying to
conceal. This investigative technique, however humanitarian as an alternative to physical torture, still
raises serious questions of individual rights and liberties. In this country, where drugs have gained only
marginal acceptance in police work, their use has provoked cries of "psychological third degree" and has
precipitated medico-legal controversies that after a quarter of a century still occasionally flare into the
open.
The use of so-called "truth" drugs in police work is similar to the accepted psychiatric practice of narcoanalysis; the difference in the two procedures lies in their different objectives. The police investigator is
concerned with empirical truth that may be used against the suspect, and therefore almost solely with
probative truth: the usefulness of the suspect's revelations depends ultimately on their acceptance in
evidence by a court of law. The psychiatrist, on the other hand, using the same "truth" drugs in diagnosis
and treatment of the mentally ill, is primarily concerned with psychological truth or psychological reality
rather than empirical fact. A patient's aberrations are reality for him at the time they occur, and an accurate
account of these fantasies and delusions, rather than reliable recollection of past events, can be the key to
recovery.
The notion of drugs capable of illuminating hidden recesses of the mind, helping to heal the mentally ill
and preventing or reversing the miscarriage of justice, has provided an exceedingly durable theme for the
press and popular literature. While acknowledging that "truth serum" is a misnomer twice over -- the
drugs are not sera and they do not necessarily bring forth probative truth -- journalistic accounts continue

to exploit the appeal of the term. The formula is to play up a few spectacular "truth" drug successes and to
imply that the drugs are more maligned than need be and more widely employed in criminal investigation
than can officially be admitted.
Any technique that promises an increment of success in extracting information from an uncompliant
source is ipso facto of interest in intelligence operations. If the ethical considerations which in Western
countries inhibit the use of narco-interrogation in police work are felt also in intelligence, the Western
services must at least be prepared against its possible employment by the adversary. An understanding of
"truth" drugs, their characteristic actions, and their potentialities, positive and negative, for eliciting useful
information is fundamental to an adequate defense against them.
This discussion, meant to help toward such an understanding, draws primarily upon openly published
materials. It has the limitations of projecting from criminal investigative practices and from the permissive
atmosphere of drug psychotherapy.
SCOPOLAMINE AS "TRUTH SERUM"
Early in this century physicians began to employ scopolamine, along with morphine and chloroform, to
induce a state of "twilight sleep" during childbirth. A constituent of henbane, scopolamine was known to
produce sedation and drowsiness, confusion and disorientation, incoordination, and amnesia for events
experienced during intoxication. Yet physicians noted that women in twilight sleep answered questions
accurately and often volunteered exceedingly candid remarks.
In 1922 it occurred to Robert House, a Dallas, Texas obstetrician, that a similar technique might be
employed in the interrogation of suspected criminals, and he arranged to interview under scopolamine two
prisoners in the Dallas county jail whose guilt seemed clearly confirmed. Under the drug, both men denied
the charges on which they were held; and both, upon trial, were found not guilty. Enthusiastic at this
success, House concluded that a patient under the influence of scopolamine "cannot create a lie... and
there is no power to think or reason." [14] His experiment and this conclusion attracted wide attention,
and the idea of a "truth" drug was thus launched upon the public consciousness.
The phrase "truth serum" is believed to have appeared first in a news report of House's experiment in the
Los Angeles Record, sometime in 1922. House resisted the term for a while but eventually came to
employ it regularly himself. He published some eleven articles on scopolamine in the years 1921-1929,
with a noticeable increase in polemical zeal as time when on. What had begun as something of a scientific
statement turned finally into a dedicated crusade by the "father of truth serum" on behalf of his offspring,
wherein he was "grossly indulgent of its wayward behavior and stubbornly proud of its minor
achievements." [11]
-27Only a handful of cases in which scopolamine was used for police interrogation came to public notice,
though there is evidence suggesting that some police forces may have used it extensively. [2,16] One
police writer claims that the threat of scopolamine interrogation has been effective in extracting
confessions from criminal suspects, who are told they will first be rendered unconscious by chloral
hydrate placed covertly in their coffee or drinking water. [16]
Because of a number of undesirable side effects, scopolamine was shortly disqualified as a "truth" drug.
Among the most disabling of the side effects are hallucinations, disturbed perception, somnolence, and
physiological phenomena such as headache, rapid heart, and blurred vision, which distract the subject
from the central purpose of the interview. Furthermore, the physical action is long, far outlasting the
psychological effects. Scopolamine continues, in some cases, to make anesthesia and surgery safer by

drying the mouth and throat and reducing secretions that might obstruct the air passages. But the
fantastically, almost painfully, dry "desert" mouth brought on by the drug is hardly conducive to free
talking, even in a tractable subject.
THE BARBITURATES
The first suggestion that drugs might facilitate communication with emotionally disturbed patients came
quite by accident in 1916. Arthur S. Lovenhart and his associates at the University of Wisconsin,
experimenting with respiratory stimulants, were surprised when, after an injection of sodium cyanide, a
catatonic patient who had long been mute and rigid suddenly relaxed, opened his eyes, and even answered
a few questions. By the early 1930's a number of psychiatrists were experimenting with drugs as an
adjunct to established methods of therapy.
At about this time police officials, still attracted by the possibility that drugs might help in the
interrogation of suspects and witnesses, turned to a class of depressant drugs known as the barbiturates.
By 1935 Clarence W. Muehlberger, head of the Michigan Crime Detection Laboratory at East Lansing,
was using barbiturates on reluctant suspects, though police work continued to be hampered by the courts'
rejection of drug-induced confessions except in a few carefully circumscribed instances.
The barbiturates, first synthesized in 1903, are among the oldest of modern drugs and the most versatile of
all depressants. In this half-century some 2,500 have been prepared, and about two dozen of these have
won an important place in medicine. An estimated three to four billion doses of barbiturates are prescribed
by physicians in the United States each year, and they have come to be known by a variety of commercial
names and colorful slang expressions: "goofballs," Luminal, Nembutal, "red devils," "yellow jackets,"
"pink ladies," etc. Three of them which are used in narcoanalysis and have seen service as "truth" drugs
are sodium amytal (anobarbital), pentothal sodium (thiopental), and to a lesser extent seconal
(seconbarbital).
As one pharmacologist explains it, a subject coming under the influence of a barbiturate injected
intravenously goes through all the stages of progressive drunkenness, but the time scale is on the order of
minutes instead of hours. Outwardly the sedation effect is dramatic, especially if the subject is a
psychiatric patient in tension. His features slacken, his body relaxes. Some people are momentarily
excited; a few become silly and giggly. This usually passes, and most subjects fall asleep, emerging later
in disoriented semi-wakefulness.
The descent into narcosis and beyond with progressively larger doses can be divided as follows:
I. Sedative stage.
II. Unconsciousness, with exaggerated reflexes (hyperactive stage).
III. Unconsciousness, without reflex even to painful stimuli.
IV. Death.
Whether all these stages can be distinguished in any given subject depends largely on the dose and the
rapidity with which the drug is induced. In anesthesia, stages I and II may last only two or three seconds.
The first or sedative stage can be further divided:
Plane 1. No evident effect, or slightly sedative effect.
Plane 2. Cloudiness, calmness, amnesia. (Upon recovery, the subject will not remember what
happened at this or "lower" planes or stages.)
Plane 3. Slurred speech, old thought patterns disrupted, inability to integrate or learn new patterns.

Poor coordination. Subject becomes unaware of painful stimuli.
-28Plane 3 is the psychiatric "work" stage. It may last only a few minutes, but it can be extended by further
slow injection of drug. The usual practice is to back into the sedative stage on the way to full
consciousness.
CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES
The general abhorrence in Western countries for the use of chemical agents "to make people do things
against their will" has precluded serious systematic study (at least as published openly) of the
potentialities of drugs for interrogation. Louis A. Gottschalk, surveying their use in information-seeking
interviews, [13] cites 136 references; but only two touch upon the extraction of intelligence information,
and one of these concludes merely that Russian techniques in interrogation and indoctrination are derived
from age-old police methods and do not depend on the use of drugs. On the validity of confessions
obtained with drugs, Gottschalk found only three published experimental studies that he deemed worth
reporting.
One of these reported experiments by D.P. Morris in which intravenous sodium amytal was helpful in
detecting malingerers. [12] The subjects, soldiers, were at first sullen, negativistic, and non-productive
under amytal, but as the interview proceeded they revealed the fact of and causes for their malingering.
Usually the interviews turned up a neurotic or psychotic basis for the deception.
The other two confession studies, being more relevant to the highly specialized, untouched area of drugs
in intelligence interrogation, deserve more detailed review.
Gerson and Victoroff [12] conducted amytal interviews with 17 neuropsychiatric patients, soldiers who
had charges against them, at Tilton General Hospital, Fort Dix. First they were interviewed without
amytal by a psychiatrist, who, neither ignoring nor stressing their situation as prisoners or suspects under
scrutiny, urged each of them to discuss his social and family background, his army career, and his version
of the charges pending against him.
The patients were told only a few minutes in advance that narcoanalysis would be performed. The doctor
was considerate, but positive and forthright. He indicated that they had no choice but to submit to the
procedure. Their attitudes varied from unquestioning to downright refusal.
Each patient was brought to complete narcosis and permitted to sleep. As he became semiconscious and
could be stimulated to speak, he was held in this stage with additional amytal while the questioning
proceeded. He was questioned first about innocuous matters from his background that he had discussed
before receiving the drug. Whenever possible, he was manipulated into bringing up himself the charges
pending against him before being questioned about them. If he did this in a too fully conscious state, it
proved more effective to ask him to "talk about that later" and to interpose a topic that would diminish
suspicion, delaying the interrogation on his criminal activity until he was back in the proper stage of
narcosis.
The procedure differed from therapeutic narcoanalysis in several ways: the setting, the type of patients,
and the kind of "truth" sought. Also, the subjects were kept in twilight consciousness longer than usual.
This state proved richest in yield of admissions prejudicial to the subject. In it his speech was thick,
mumbling, and disconnected, but his discretion was markedly reduced. This valuable interrogation period,
lasting only five to ten minutes at a time, could be reinduced by injecting more amytal and putting the
patient back to sleep.

patient, the seriousness of the charges, the patient's attitude under narcosis, and his rapport with the
doctor. Sometimes it was useful to pretend, as the patient grew more fully conscious, that he had already
confessed during the amnestic period of the interrogation, and to urge him, while his memory and sense of
self-protection were still limited, to continue to elaborate the details of what he had "already described."
When it was obvious that a subject was withholding the truth, his denials were quickly passed over and
ignored, and the key questions would be rewarded in a new approach.
Several patients revealed fantasies, fears, and delusions approaching delirium, much of which could
readily be distinguished from reality. But sometimes there was no way for the examiner to distinguish
truth from fantasy except by reference to other sources. One subject claimed to have a child that did not
exist,
-29another threatened to kill on sight a stepfather who had been dead a year, and yet another confessed to
participating in a robbery when in fact he had only purchased goods from the participants. Testimony
concerning dates and specific places was untrustworthy and often contradictory because of the patient's
loss of time-sense. His veracity in citing names and events proved questionable. Because of his confusion
about actual events and what he thought or feared had happened, the patient at times managed to conceal
the truth unintentionally.
As the subject revived, he would become aware that he was being questioned about his secrets and,
depending upon his personality, his fear of discovery, or the degree of his disillusionment with the doctor,
grow negativistic, hostile, or physically aggressive. Occasionally patients had to be forcibly restrained
during this period to prevent injury to themselves or others as the doctor continued to interrogate. Some
patients, moved by fierce and diffuse anger, the assumption that they had already been tricked into
confessing, and a still limited sense of discretion, defiantly acknowledged their guilt and challenged the
observer to "do something about it." As the excitement passed, some fell back on their original stories and
others verified the confessed material. During the follow-up interview nine of the 17 admitted the validity
of their confessions; eight repudiated their confessions and reaffirmed their earlier accounts.
With respect to the reliability of the results of such interrogation, Gerson and Victoroff conclude that
persistent, careful questioning can reduce ambiguities in drug interrogation, but cannot eliminate them
altogether.
At least one experiment has shown that subjects are capable of maintaining a lie while under the influence
of a barbiturate. Redlich and his associates at Yale [25] administered sodium amytal to nine volunteers,
students and professionals, who had previously, for purposes of the experiment, revealed shameful and
guilt-producing episodes of their past and then invented false self-protective stories to cover them. In
nearly every case the cover story retained some elements of the guilt inherent in the true story.
Under the influence of the drug, the subjects were crossexamined on their cover stories by a second
investigator. The results, though not definitive, showed that normal individuals who had good defenses
and no overt pathological traits could stick to their invented stories and refuse confession. Neurotic
individuals with strong unconscious self-punitive tendencies, on the other hand, both confessed more
easily and were inclined to substitute fantasy for the truth, confessing to offenses never actually
committed.
In recent years drug therapy has made some use of stimulants, most notably amphetamine (Benzedrine)
and its relative methamphetamine (Methadrine). These drugs, used either alone or following intravenous
barbiturates, produce an outpouring of ideas, emotions, and memories which has been of help in

diagnosing mental disorders. The potential of stimulants in interrogation has received little attention,
unless in unpublished work. In one study of their psychiatric use Brussel et al. [7] maintain that
methedrine gives the liar no time to think or to organize his deceptions. Once the drug takes hold, they
say, an insurmountable urge to pour out speech traps the malingerer. Gottschalk, on the other hand, says
that this claim is extravagant, asserting without elaboration that the study lacked proper controls. [13] It is
evident that the combined use of barbiturates and stimulants, perhaps along with ataraxics (tranquilizers),
should be further explored.
OBSERVATIONS FROM PRACTICE
J.M. MacDonald, who as a psychiatrist for the District Courts of Denver has had extensive experience
with narcoanalysis, says that drug interrogation is of doubtful value in obtaining confessions to crimes.
Criminal suspects under the influence of barbiturates may deliberately withhold information, persist in
giving untruthful answers, or falsely confess to crimes they did not commit. The psychopathic personality,
in particular, appears to resist successfully the influence of drugs.
MacDonald tells of a criminal psychopath who, having agreed to narco-interrogation, received 1.5 grams
of sodium amytal over a period of five hours. This man feigned amnesia and gave a false account of a
murder. "He displayed little or no remorse as he (falsely) described the crime, including burial of the
body. Indeed he was very self-possessed and he appeared almost to enjoy the examination. From time to
time he would request that more amytal be injected." [21]
MacDonald concludes that a person who gives false information prior to re-
-30ceiving drugs is likely to give false information also under narcosis, that the drugs are of little value for
revealing deceptions, and that they are more effective in releasing unconsciously repressed material than
in evoking consciously suppressed information.
Another psychiatrist known for his work with criminals, L.Z. Freedman, gave sodium amytal to men
accused of various civil and military antisocial acts. The subjects were mentally unstable, their conditions
ranging from character disorders to neuroses and psychoses. The drug interviews proved psychiatrically
beneficial to the patients, but Freedman found that his view of objective reality was seldom improved by
their revelations. He was unable to say on the basis of the narco-interrogation whether a given act had or
had not occurred. Like MacDonald, he found that psychopathic individuals can deny to the point of
unconsciousness crimes that every objective sign indicates they have committed. [10]
F.G. Inbau, Professor of Law at Northwestern University, who has had considerable experience observing
and participating in "truth" drug tests, claims that they are occasionally effective on persons who would
have disclosed the truth anyway had they been properly interrogated, but that a person determined to lie
will usually be able to continue the deception under drugs.
The two military psychiatrists who made the most extensive use of narcoanalysis during the war years.
Roy R. Grinker and John C. Spiegel, concluded that in almost all cases they could obtain from their
patients essentially the same material and give them the same emotional release by therapy without the
use of drugs, provided they had sufficient time.
The essence of these comments from professionals of long experience is that drugs provide rapid access to
information that is psychiatrically useful but of doubtful validity as empirical truth. The same
psychological information and a less adulterated empirical truth can be obtained from fully conscious
subjects through non-drug psychotherapy and skillful police interrogation.

APPLICATION TO CI INTERROGATION
The almost total absence of controlled experimental studies of "truth" drugs and the spotty and anecdotal
nature of psychiatric and police evidence require that extrapolations to intelligence operations be made
with care. Still, enough is known about the drugs' actions to suggest certain considerations affecting the
possibilities for their use in interrogation.
It should be clear from the foregoing that at best a drug can only serve as an aid to an interrogator who has
a sure understanding of the psychology and techniques of normal interrogation. In some respects, indeed,
the demands on his skill will be increased by the baffling mixture of truth and fantasy in drug-induced
output. And the tendency against which he must guard in the interrogate to give the responses that seem to
be wanted without regard for facts will be heightened by drugs: the literature abounds with warnings that
a subject in narcosis is extremely suggestible.
It seems possible that this suggestibility and the lowered guard of the narcotic state might be put to
advantage in the case of a subject feigning ignorance of a language or some other skill that had become
automatic with him. Lipton [20] found sodium amytal helpful in determining whether a foreign subject
was merely pretending not to understand English. By extension, one can guess that a drugged interrogatee
might have difficulty maintaining the pretense that he did not comprehend the idiom of a profession he
was trying to hide.
There is the further problem of hostility in the interrogator's relationship to a resistance source. The
accumulated knowledge about "truth" drug reaction has come largely from patient-physician relationships
of trust and confidence. The subject in narcoanalysis is usually motivated a priori to cooperate with the
psychiatrist, either to obtain relief from mental suffering or to contribute to a scientific study. Even in
police work, where an atmosphere of anxiety and threat may be dominant, a relationship of trust
frequently asserts itself: the drug is administered by a medical man bound by a strict code of ethics; the
suspect agreeing to undergo narcoanalysis in a desperate bid for corroboration of his testimony trusts both
drug and psychiatrist, however apprehensively; and finally, as Freedman and MacDonald have indicated,
the police psychiatrist frequently deals with a "sick" criminal, and some order of patient-physician
relationship necessarily evolves.
-31Rarely has a drug interrogation involved "normal" individuals in a hostile or genuinely threatening milieu.
It was from a non-threatening experimental setting that Eric Lindemann could say that his "normal"
subjects "reported a general sense of euphoria, ease and confidence, and they exhibited a marked increase
in talkativeness and communicability." [18] Gerson and Victoroff list poor doctor-patient rapport as one
factor interfering with the completeness and authenticity of confessions by the Fort Dix soldiers, caught as
they were in a command performance and told they had no choice but to submit to narco-interrogation.
From all indications, subject-interrogation rapport is usually crucial to obtaining the psychological release
which may lead to unguarded disclosures. Role-playing on the part of the interrogator might be a possible
solution to the problem of establishing rapport with a drugged subject. In therapy, the British narcoanalyst William Sargent recommends that the therapist deliberately distort the facts of the patient's lifeexperience to achieve heightened emotional response and abreaction. [27] In the drunken state of
narcoanalysis patients are prone to accept the therapist's false constructions. There is reason to expect that
a drugged subject would communicate freely with an interrogator playing the role of relative, colleague,
physician, immediate superior, or any other person to whom his background indicated he would be
responsive.

Even when rapport is poor, however, there remains one facet of drug action eminently exploitable in
interrogation -- the fact that subjects emerge from narcosis feeling they have revealed a great deal, even
when they have not. As Gerson and Victoroff demonstrated at Fort Dix, this psychological set provides a
major opening for obtaining genuine confessions.
POSSIBLE VARIATIONS
In studies by Beecher and his associates, [3-6] one-third to one-half the individuals tested proved to be
placebo reactors, subjects who respond with symptomatic relief to the administration of any syringe, pill,
or capsule, regardless of what it contains. Although no studies are known to have been made of the
placebo phenomenon as applied to narco-interrogation, it seems reasonable that when a subject's sense of
guilt interferes with productive interrogation, a placebo for pseudo-narcosis could have the effect of
absolving him of the responsibility for his acts and thus clear the way for free communication. It is
notable that placebos are most likely to be effective in situations of stress. The individuals most likely to
react to placebos are the more anxious, more self-centered, more dependent on outside stimulation, those
who express their needs more freely socially, talkers who drain off anxiety by conversing with others. The
non-reactors are those clinically more rigid and with better than average emotional control. No sex or I.Q.
differences between reactors and non-reactors have been found.
Another possibility might be the combined use of drugs with hypnotic trance and post-hypnotic
suggestion: hypnosis could presumably prevent any recollection of the drug experience. Whether a subject
can be brought to trance against his will or unaware, however, is a matter of some disagreement. Orne, in
a survey of the potential uses of hypnosis in interrogation, [23] asserts that it is doubtful, despite many
apparent indications to the contrary, that trance can be induced in resistant subjects. It may be possible, he
adds, to hypnotize a subject unaware, but this would require a positive relationship with the hypnotist not
likely to be found in the interrogation setting.
In medical hypnosis, pentothal sodium is sometimes employed when only light trance has been induced
and deeper narcosis is desired. This procedure is a possibility for interrogation, but if a satisfactory level
of narcosis could be achieved through hypnotic trance there would appear to be no need for drugs.
DEFENSIVE MEASURES
There is no known way of building tolerance for a "truth" drug without creating a disabling addiction, or
of arresting the action of a barbiturate once induced. The only full safeguard against narco-interrogation is
to prevent the administration of the drug. Short of this, the best defense is to make use of the same
knowledge that suggests drugs for offensive operations: if a subject knows that on emerging from narcosis
he will have an exaggerated notion of how much he has revealed he can better resolve to deny he has said
anything.
-32The disadvantages and shortcomings of drugs in offensive operations become positive features of the
defensive posture. A subject in narco-interrogation is garbled and irrational, the amount of output
drastically diminished. Drugs disrupt established thought patterns, including the will to resist, but they do
so indiscriminately and thus also interfere with the patterns of substantive information the interrogator
seeks. Even under the conditions most favorable for the interrogator, output will be contaminated by
fantasy, distortion, and untruth.
Possibly the most effective way to arm oneself against narco-interrogation would be to undergo a "dry
run." A trial drug interrogation with output taped for playback would familiarize an individual with his
own reactions to "truth" drugs, and this familiarity would help to reduce the effects of harassment by the

interrogator before and after the drug has been administered. From the viewpoint of the intelligence
service, the trial exposure of a particular operative to drugs might provide a rough benchmark for
assessing the kind and amount of information he would divulge in narcosis.
There may be concern over the possibility of drug addiction intentionally or accidentally induced by an
adversary service. Most drugs will cause addiction with prolonged use, and the barbiturates are no
exception. In recent studies at the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital for addicts in Lexington, Ky.,
subjects received large doses of barbiturates over a period of months. Upon removal of the drug, they
experienced acute withdrawal symptoms and behaved in every respect like chronic alcoholics.
Because their action is extremely short, however, and because there is little likelihood that they would be
administered regularly over a prolonged period, barbiturate "truth" drugs present slight risk of operational
addiction. If the adversary service were intent on creating addiction in order to exploit withdrawal, it
would have other, more rapid means of producing states as unpleasant as withdrawal symptoms.
The hallucinatory and psychotomimetic drugs such as mescaline, marihuana, LSD-25, and microtine are
sometimes mistakenly associated with narcoanalytic interrogation. These drugs distort the perception and
interpretation of the sensory input to the central nervous system and affect vision, audition, smell, the
sensation of the size of body parts and their position in space, etc. Mescaline and LSD-25 have been used
to create experimental "psychotic states," and in a minor way as aids in psychotherapy.
Since information obtained from a person in a psychotic drug state would be unrealistic, bizarre, and
extremely difficult to assess, the self-administration of LSD-25, which is effective in minute dosages,
might in special circumstances offer an operative temporary protection against interrogation. Conceivably,
on the other hand, an adversary service could use such drugs to produce anxiety or terror in medically
unsophisticated subjects unable to distinguish drug-induced psychosis from actual insanity. An
enlightened operative could not be thus frightened, however, knowing that the effect of these
hallucinogenic agents is transient in normal individuals.
Most broadly, there is evidence that drugs have least effect on well-adjusted individuals with good
defenses and good emotional control, and that anyone who can withstand the stress of competent
interrogation in the waking state can do so in narcosis. The essential resources for resistance thus appear
to lie within the individual.
CONCLUSIONS
The salient points that emerge from this discussion are the following. No such magic brew as the popular
notion of truth serum exists. The barbiturates, by disrupting defensive patterns, may sometimes be helpful
in interrogation, but even under the best conditions they will elicit an output contaminated by deception,
fantasy, garbled speech, etc. A major vulnerability they produce in the subject is a tendency to believe he
has revealed more than he has. It is possible, however, for both normal individuals and psychopaths to
resist drug interrogation; it seems likely that any individual who can withstand ordinary intensive
interrogation can hold out in narcosis. The best aid to a defense against narco-interrogation is
foreknowledge of the process and its limitations. There is an acute need for controlled experimental
studies of drug reaction, not only to depressants but also to stimulants and to combinations of depressants,
stimulants, and ataraxics.

Senator WALLOP. If they are, I would assume that you would still try to find from either
theirs or somebody else's information how to protect our people from that kind of activity.
Senator WALLOP. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Chafee?
Senator CHAFEE. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
-34Admiral Turner, I appreciate that these tawdry activities were taking place long before your
watch, and I think you have correctly labeled them as abhorrent, but not only were they
abhorrent, it seems to me that they wee rather bungled, amateurish experiments that don't
seem to have been handled in a very scientific way, at least from the scanty evidence we
have.
It seems to me that there were a minimum of reports and the Agency didn't have the ability
to call it quits. It went on for some 12 years, as you mentioned. What I would like to get to
is, are you convinced now in your Agency that those scientific experiments, legitimate
ones that you were conducting with polygraph and so forth, were being conducted in a
scientific manner and that you are handling it in a correct manner to get the best
information that you are seeking in the end?

Admiral TURNER. Yes, I am, and I also have a sense of confidence that we are limiting
ourselves to the areas where we need to be involved as opposed to areas where we can rely
on others.
Senator CHAFEE. I am convinced of that from your report. I just do hope that you have
people who are trained in not only handling this type of experiment, but in preparing the
proper reports and drawing the proper data from the reports. You are convinced that you
have this type of people?
Senator CHAFEE. The second point I am interested in was the final lines in your
testimony here, which I believe are very important, and that is that the Agency is doing all
it can in cooperation with other branches of the Government to go about tracking down the
identity of those who were in some way adversely affected, and see what can be done to
fulfill the government's responsibilities in that respect. I might add that I commend you in
that, and I hope you will pursue it vigorously.
A hospital in my State was involved in these proceedings, and it is unclear exactly what did
take place, so I have both a parochial interest in this and a national interest as well, and I do
hope you will press on with it. It involves not only you, I appreciate, but also HEW and
perhaps the Attorney General.
Admiral TURNER. Thank you, sir. We will.
Senator CHAFEE. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Admiral Turner, MKULTRA subproject 3 was a project involving the surreptitious
administration of LSD on unwitting persons, was it not?
Senator INOUYE. In February 1954, and this was in the very early stages of MKULTRA,
the Director of Central Intelligence wrote to the technical services staff officials criticizing
their judgment because they had participated in an experiment involving the administration
of LSD on an unwitting basis to Dr. Frank Olson, who later committed suicide. Now, the
individuals criticized were the same individuals who were responsible for subproject 3,
involving exactly the same practices. Even though these individuals were clearly aware of
the dangers of surreptitious administration and had been criticized by the Director
-35of Central Intelligence, subproject 3 was not terminated immediately after Dr. Olson's
death.

In fact, according to documents, it continued for a number of years. Can you provide this
committee with any explanation of how such testing could have continued under these
circumstances?
Admiral TURNER. No, sir, I really can't.
Senator INOUYE. Are the individuals in technical services who carried on subproject 3
still on the CIA payroll?
Admiral TURNER. I am sorry. Are you asking, are they today?
Senator INOUYE. Yes.
Senator INOUYE. What would you do if you criticized officials of the technical services
staff and they continued to carry on experimentation for a number of years?
Admiral TURNER. I would do two things, sir. One is, I would be sure at the beginning
that I was explicit enough that they knew that I didn't want that to be continued anywhere
else, and two, if I found it being continued, I would roll some heads.
Senator INOUYE. Could you provide this committee with information as to whether the
individuals involved had their heads rolled?
Admiral TURNER. I don't believe there is any evidence they did, but I will double check
that.
[See p. 170 for material referred to.]
Senator INOUYE. As you know, Senator Huddleston and his subcommittee are deeply
involved in the drafting of charters and guidelines for the intelligence community. We will
be meeting with the President tomorrow. Our concern is, I think, a basic one. Can anything
like this occur again?
Admiral TURNER. I think it would be very, very unlikely, first, because we are all much
more conscious of these issues than we were back in the fifties, second, because we have
such thorough oversight procedures. I cannot imagine that this kind of activity could take
place today without some member of the CIA itself bypassing me, if I were authorizing
this, and writing to the Intelligence Oversight Board, and blowing the whistle on this kind
of activity.
I am also doing my very best, sir, to encourage an openness with myself and a free
communication in the Agency, so that I am the one who finds these things if they should
happen. The fact is that we must keep you and your committee and now the new committee
in the House informed of our sensitive activities. I think all of these add up to a degree of
scrutiny such that this kind of extensive and flagrant activity could not happen today
without it coming to the attention of the proper authorities to stop it.

the people who unwittingly or wittingly got involved in experimentation. I would

appreciate it if you would report back to this committee in 3 months on what the Agency
has done to notify these individuals and these institutions, and furthermore, to notify us as
to what steps have been taken to identify victims, and if identified, what you have done to
assist them, monetarily or otherwise.
Admiral TURNER. All right, sir. I will be happy to.
Senator GOLDWATER. Will the Senator yield?
-36Senator INOUYE. Yes, sir.

Senator GOLDWATER. I wonder if he could include in that report for our information
only a complete listing of the individuals and the experiments done on them, and whether
they were witting or unwitting, volunteer or nonvolunteer, and what has been the result in
each case. I think that would be interesting.
Admiral TURNER. Fine. Yes, sir.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Kennedy?
Senator KENNEDY. Thank you. It is your intention to notify the individuals who have
been the, subjects of the research, is that right, Admiral Turner? Do you intend to notify
those individuals?
Senator KENNEDY. If you can identify them, you intend to notify them?
Senator KENNEDY. And you intend to notify the universities or research centers as well?
Admiral TURNER. Senator, I am torn on that. I understand your opening statement. I put
myself in the position of the president of one of those, universities, let's say. If he were
witting -- if his university had been witting of this activity with us, lie has access to all that
information today. If lie, were not witting, I wonder if the. process of informing him might
put his institution's reputation in more jeopardy than letting them go on the way they are
today, not knowing. I really don't know the equities here.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, the problem is, all you have to do is pick up the newspapers
and you see these universities mentioned. In many instances, I think you are putting the
university people at an extraordinary disadvantage, where there is a complete change of
administration, and they may for one reason or another not have information that they are,
under suspicion. There is innuendo; there is rumor. I cannot help but believe that it will just

get smeared all over the newspapers in spite of all the security steps that have been taken.
It seems to me that those universities should be entitled to that information, so that the ones
with other administrations can adapt procedures to protect those universities. The
importance of preserving the independence of our research areas and the communities
seems to me to be a very fundamental kind of question about the protection of the integrity
of our universities and our research centers.
Admiral TURNER. You are saying that you feel that if we identify them privately to
themselves, we can benefit them in an adequate way to cover the risk that this will lead to a
more public disclosure? There are lots of the 80 who have not been identified publicly at
this point.
Senator KENNEDY. I think the universities themselves should be notified. I think then
the universities can take whatever steps in terms of their setting up the procedures to
protect. their own kinds of integrity in terms of the future. I would certainly hope that, they
would feel that they could make a public comment or a public statement on it. I think it is
of general public interest, particularly for the people that are involved in those universities,
to have some kind of awareness of whether they were. used or were not used and how they
were used.
I think they are entitled to it, and quite frankly, if there is a public official or an official of
the university that you notify and be wants
-37for his own particular reasons not to have it public, I don't see why those in a lesser echelon
or lower echelon who have been effectively used by it should not have the information as
well.
So, I would hope that you would notify the universities and then also indicate to the public.
I can't conceive that this information will not be put out in the newspapers, and it puts the
university people at an extraordinary disadvantage, and of course some of it is wrong,
which is the fact of the matter, and I think some university official saying, well, it isn't so,
is a lot different than if they know it is confirmed or it is not confirmed in terms of the
Agency itself. I think that there is a responsibility there.
Admiral TURNER. I have great sympathy with what you are saying. I have already
notified one institution because the involvement was so extensive that I thought they really
needed to protect themselves, and I am. most anxious to do this in whatever way will help
all of the people who were perhaps unwitting participants in this, and the difficulty I will
have is, I can't quite do, I think, what you suggested, in that I may not be able to tell an
institution of the extent and nature of its participation.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, you can tell them to the best of your information, and it seems
to me that just because the university or an individual is going to be embarrassed is not a
reason for classifying the information. So, I would hope -- I mean, I obviously speak as an

individual Senator, but I feel that that is an incredible disservice to the innocent individuals
and I think, a disservice to the integrity of the, universities unless they are notified, to be
able to develop procedures you are developing with regards to your own institution and we
are trying to in terms of the Congress. Certainly the universities are entitled to the same.
Admiral TURNER. Yes. Not all of these, of course, were unwitting.
Senator KENNEDY. That's right.
Admiral TURNER. Many of them were witting, and therefore they can take all those
precautionary steps on their own, but I am perfectly open to doing this. I am only interested
in doing it in a way that when identifying a university it will not lead to the public
disclosure of the individuals, whom I am not allowed to disclose, and so on.
Senator KENNEDY. That could be done, it seems to me.
Admiral TURNER. So, we will see if we can devise a way of notifying these institutions
on a private basis so that they can then make their own decision whether their equities are
best served by their announcing it publicly or their attempting to maintain it-Senator KENNEDY. Or you. I wonder. What if they were to ask you to announce, or
indicate?
Admiral TURNER. My personal conscience, sir, at this time, is that I would be doing a
disservice to these universities if I notified the public.
Senator KENNEDY. Would you meet with some university officials and ask what their
views are or whether they feel that the preservation of the integrity of the universities
would be better served or not? I think that would be useful to find out from small, large,
private, and public universities' officials how they view the integrity-Admiral TURNER. Fine. I Will phone several university presidents today who are my
friends and who are not involved in this, and ask them what they think the equities would
be.
-38Senator KENNEDY. All right. You let us know, too.

Admiral TURNER. But I am not sure that I see that there is any great benefit, in my
notifying the public as opposed to the university notifying them. Let him have his choice
whether he wants -- each institution wants to have it made public.
Senator KENNEDY. Yes. The fact would remain that the institution's credibility would be
better served if the institution's president were to deny it and the university indicated that it
did not participate in that program than if the university were to deny it and the Agency
says nothing. It seems to me that that would be the strongest, and the only way that that is

going to be credible. I would value it if you would get some input from universities as to
what they believe is the fairest way in terms of the preservation of the integrity of the
universities.
Let me, if I could, ask on the question of the uses of these safe houses, as I understand from
information that was provided to us in the course of our last committee, the testing of
various drugs on individuals happened at all social levels, high and low, it happened on
native Americans and also on foreign nationals. That is what I understand was the nature of
the project itself.
Now, I am just wondering whether those tests were conducted at the two locations on the
east coast and the west coast which were known as safe houses. To your knowledge, is that
correct?
Senator KENNEDY. In terms of the research in this particular program, it did not go
beyond the safe houses located on the east coast and the west coast? I believe I am correct
on that.
Admiral TURNER. That type of unwitting testing of sort of randomly selected
individuals, yes.
Senator KENNEDY. It was just located in those two places?
Admiral TURNER. To the best of our knowledge, there were only two locations.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, how do we interpret randomly selected?
Admiral TURNER. Well, as opposed to prisoners in a prison who were somehow
selected.
Senator KENNEDY. All right. Do you know from this information how many people
were recruited during this period?
Admiral TURNER. No idea.
Senator KENNEDY. Do you know approximately?
Admiral TURNER. I asked that question the other day, and we just don't have -apparently we are very -- well, either there were no records kept of the actual numbers and
types of people tested or they were destroyed.
Admiral Turner, I would like to come back to the experiments which may have been
conducted at the hospital research facilities which the CIA helped to finance. It wasn't clear
to me from your previous answers what kind of work was done there. I gather you are
unclear on that, too, from your remarks, yet I find in the CIA documentation which you

have supplied us, a list describing some of the advantages the Agency hoped to gain. It
says:
(a) One-sixth of the total space in the new hospital wing will be available to the Chemical
Division of TSS * * *; (b) Agency sponsorship of sensitive research
-39projects will be completely deniable; (c) Full professional cover will be provided for up to
three biochemical employees of the Chemical Division; (d) Human patients and volunteers for
experimental use will be available under controlled clinical conditions with the full
supervision of
and there is a blank, something has been deleted.

It seems pretty clear to me what they intended to do in that particular wing. Doesn't it to
you? Why would you go to such elaborate preparations, to buy part of the wing, bring three
of your own personnel there, give them a cover, and give them access to patients? Why
would you go to such trouble and expense to arrange, all that, if you weren't planning to
experiment on people in the hospital?
Admiral TURNER. I agree with you 100 percent, sir. Those were clearly the intentions. I
have no evidence that it was carried out in that way. I am not trying to be defensive,
Senator. I am only trying to be absolutely precise here.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, then, as to the nature of what was done there, the last
paragraph on the same page of the document says, "The facilities of the hospital and the
ability to conduct controlled experimentations under safe clinical conditions using
materials with which any agency connection must be completely deniable will augment
and complement other programs recently taken over by TSS, such as," and then there's
another deletion.
Now, the words following "such as" have been deleted. That is still classified, or at least it
was removed when this document was sanitized and released. It seems to be that whatever
was deleted right there would give you a pretty good clue as to what they were doing, since
it says that the activities would "augment and complement other programs" undertaken by
TSS. So, I have trouble understanding why you don't know what was contemplated. Just
the fact that similar programs are referred to in the document, though what they are is still
deleted, should enable you to check it out.
You could look at what went on in the similar programs mentioned following the "such as"
in the classified version of this document.
Admiral TURNER. Senator, I have not said that we don't know what was contemplated
being done there. We do not know what was done there.

Senator SCHWEIKER. Why did you delete that reference? Why is that still classified,
that particular project of whatever it is?
Admiral TURNER. I don't know this particular case. We will get you the exact answer to
that one and inform you about it, but it is quite probable that that other case is unrelated to
this in the -- well, not unrelated, but that that was a project that still deserves to be
classified.
[The material referred to follows:]
Construction of the Gorman Annex was begun in 1957 and the Annex was dedicated in March
1959. Of the several MKULTRA projects conducted at Georgetown only one involving human
testing covered a time span subsequent to March 1959. Subproject 45 ran from 1955 to 1963,
thus it is possible that the final four years 1959-1963) of the subproject could have been spent
in the Gorman Annex. However, there is no reference to the Gorman Annex or a "new Annex"
in Subproject 45 papers, neither is there any mention of the subproject moving to a new
location in 1959 or later years.
Authorization to contribute CIA funds toward construction of the Gorman Annex is contained
in Subproject 35 of MKULTRA. Recently discovered material indicated that Dr. Geschickter
continued his research for sleep- and amnesia-producing drugs under Project MKSEARCH
through July 1967 at Georgetown University Hospital. But it is impossible to determine if the
facilities of the Gorman Annex were involved.
-40Senator SCHWEIKER. I think that would give us a pretty good clue as to what was
going to be done in the wing the CIA helped to finance.
Was there any indication at all in the records you found that the project ultimately used
cancer patients or terminally ill patients in connection with this facility?
Admiral TURNER. I'm sorry. I missed your question because I was trying to get the data
on the last one. I will read you the blank.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Go ahead.
Admiral TURNER. QKHILLTOP. It doesn't help you, but-Senator SCHWEIKER. Can you tell us what that is, or is it still classified?
Admiral TURNER. I don't know, and I assume from the fact that we deleted it, it is still
classified, but I will get you that answer, sir.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Thank you. I'd like to see that information.

Now my next question was: Is there any indication, Admiral, that projects in that particular
center involved experimentation on terminally ill cancer patients?
Admiral TURNER. I missed the first part of your question, sir. I am very sorry.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Do you have any indication that some experiment in the facility
used terminally ill cancer patients as subjects? You do acknowledge in your statement and
it is clear from other documents that these kinds of experiments were at some point being
done somewhere. My question is, is there any indication that cancer patients or terminally
ill patients were experimented with in this wing?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, it does appear there is a connection here, sir.
Senator SCHWEIKER. The other question I had relates to the development of something
which has been called the perfect concussion. A series of experiments toward that end were
described in the CIA documents. I wonder if you would just tell us what your
understanding of perfect concussion is.
Admiral TURNER. Is that in my testimony, sir, or in some other document?
Senator SCHWEIKER. Subproject 54, MKULTRA, which involved examination of
techniques to cause brain concussions and amnesia by using weapons or sound waves to
strike individuals without giving and without leaving any clear physical marks. Someone
dubbed it "perfect concussion" -- maybe that was poetic license on the part of our staff
rather than your poets over there. I wonder if you could just tell us what brain concussion
experiments were about?
Admiral TURNER. This project, No. 54, was canceled, and never carried out.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, I do believe the first year of the project in 1955 was carried
out by the Office of Naval Research, according to the information that you supplied us.
The CIA seems to have been participating in some way at that point, because the records
go on to say that the experimenter at ONR found out about CIA's role, discovered that it
was a cover, and then the project was transferred to MKULTRA in 1956. Again, this is all
from the backup material you have given us. So, it was canceled at some time. I am not
disagreeing
-41with that, but apparently for at least a year or two, somebody was investigating the
production of brain concussions with special blackjacks, sound waves, and other methods
as detailed in the backup material.
Admiral TURNER. The data available to me is that this project was never funded by the
CIA, but I will double-check that and furnish the information for the record for you as to
whether there was ever any connection here and if so, what the nature of the work was.

Mr. Laubinger corrected his testimony regarding Subproject 54 during the September 21, 1977
hearings before the Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research of the Human Resources
Committee. The relevant portion is reproduced below:
Mr. LAUBINGER. On project 54, it has got a rather sensational proposal in there, in terms of
the work that they propose to do, and you asked about the proposal and I said, in fact, it was
never funded under MKULTRA. Now, I overlooked -- at least, my memory did not serve me
correctly when I went through that file folder to see one memorandum dated January 10, 1956,
which makes it quite clear, as a matter of fact, that that proposal was based on prior work that
was funded by the Agency.
Senator SCHWEIKER. By what?
Mr. LAUBINGER. By the CIA. So, that information was in their file folder. It did not
happen to be in my head when I testified.
Senator SCHWEIKER. I think I might have read you that, and that is why I argued at the
time with you, because I think I had in front of me, as I recall, some indication that it was
funded there. I did read that to you. So, you did supply it to us; there is no argument about that
information.
Mr. LAUBINGER. Perhaps I am sort of headstrong, myself, and in my own view, I am
reading under the ULTRA project, that if it had been funded under ULTRA, it would have had
a project number and identified as such. The thing that threw me was that it was funded,
apparently, outside of any MKULTRA activity and it was under the normal contracting
process, so that it was not included in MKULTRA as any work done under that funding
umbrella.
The file folder that you have and I have, right here, makes it quite clear, however, that a year's
work was done through navy funding -- a navy funding mechanism -- on which the proposal
was based that ultimately came into the MKULTRA program. That second proposal was never
funded. So, there was conflict and I, personally, I think, introduced a little bit of confusion in
that in my testimony.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, do you agree or not agree with DOD's statement here that even
though the initial funding was navy, it was really I conduit for the CIA?
Mr. LAUBINGER. I think that is correct.
Senator SCHWEIKER. Yes; I would appreciate that. I would like to know how it went
from ONR to CIA after a year. Somebody made a decision to make that transfer, and to
make this an MKULTRA subject. There had to be some sort of review that led to a
decision to continue that kind of concussion -- total blackout, maximum amnesia, and
whatever else it was you were interested in -- study and testing.
Mr. LAUBINGER. Senator, if I may try to say a few words on that, the files that were
available to us for inspection, which are limited, indicated that there was a project being
carried on by the Navy having to do with the, effects of brain concussion. The CIA
developed an interest in that, and considered funding it, but actually never did, and as the
admiral testified, the MKULTRA is merely a funding mechanism, a place they go for
money to do such things, but there is no evidence that I know of that that project was ever
funded.

-42Senator SCHWEIKER. Well, I am confused, because here again is another quote from a
document that we have seen, which you have released and supplied to us:
Following is the technical progress made under the current [deleted] contract: (a) Specializing
instrumentation and numerous testing techniques have been developed to obtain the desired
dynamic data; (b) considerable data has now been obtained supporting the resonancecavilation theory of brain concussion; and (c) preliminary acceleration threshold data has been
It goes on to talk about a blast range and a 2,500-square-foot laboratory. The document
notes that "Three blast test series have been run to date." It describes a special blackjack
device, "a pancake-type blackjack giving a high peak impact force with a low unit surface
pressure."
I agree the records are inconclusive as to the results of this work, but it certainly seems that
some testing was done.
Mr. LAUBINGER. Senator, you are putting us in the same position I think you were
stating that you were in earlier referring to documents not before us, but I believe you are
quoting from a proposal that someone sent to the Agency to fund this work, and he is
referring to past work. The past work would have encompassed a lot of things like that, but
CIA was not involved with that.
Senator SCHWEIKER. What do you mean, Admiral, on page 6 of your testimony when
you mention projects using magician's art? How do magicians get into the spook business?
Admiral TURNER. I have interpreted this as to how to slip the mickey into the finn, but I
would like to ask my advisers here to comment.
Mr. BRODY. I think that is essentially it, Senator. It is surreptitious administration of
material to someone, deceptive practices, how to distract someone's attention while you are
doing something else, as I understand it. It was also some type of a covert communication
project involved with the study of how magicians and their assistants perhaps communicate
information to one another without having other people know it. This is the type of thing
that was involved, sir.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Huddleston?
Admiral, in your checking these newly discovered documents and interviewing members
of the CIA staff, did you find information that would confirm the contention described by

the reporters for the New York Times that this type of experimentation was begun out of a
fear that the Agency that foreign powers might have drugs which would allow them to alter
the behavior of American citizens or agents or members of the Armed Forces who were
taken into custody, and which would have resulted in false confessions and the like? Is my
question clear?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir. I haven't personally read the documentation on that. In my
discussions with the people who are well informed in this area at the Agency, I am told that
that is the case.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Was there any evidence or any indication that there were other
motives that the Agency might also be looking for drugs that could be applied for other
purposes, such as debilitating an individual or even killing another person? Was this part of
this kind of experimentation?
-43Admiral TURNER. Yes; I think there is. I have not seen in this series of documentation
evidence of desire to kill, but I think the project turned its character from a defensive to an
offensive one as it went along, and there certainly was an intention here to develop drugs
that could be of use.
Senator HUDDLESTON. The project continued for some time after it was learned that, in
fact, foreign powers did not have such a drug as was at first feared, didn't it?
Admiral TURNER. That is my understanding. Yes, sir.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Is there any indication that knowledge gained as a result of
these experiments has been useful or is being applied in any way to present operations?
Mr. BRODY. Senator, I am not sure if there is any body of knowledge. A great deal of
what there was, I gather, was destroyed in 1973. I would like to defer to Frank here. Do
you know of any?
Mr. LAUBINGER. I know of no drugs or anything like that developed under this program
that ever reached operational use or are in use today.
Senator HUDDLESTON. So apparently any information that was gathered was
apparently useless and not worth continuing, not worth further development on the part of
the Agency.
Mr. LAUBINGER. I am having difficulty hearing your questions.
Senator HUDDLESTON. I can hardly hear myself.
Admiral TURNER. I think the answer to your question is that we have no evidence of
great usefulness on this, and yet I think we should remember-CHURCH

Senator HUDDLESTON. Well, is it accurate to say that this experimentation produced

few useful results or had little application at all to the operations of the Agency or anybody
else as far as we know?
Admiral TURNER. I think that is basically correct. At the same time, I would point out
that we had two CIA prisoners in China and one in the Soviet Union at this time, and we
were concerned as to what kinds of things might be done to them, but I am not saying thatSenator HUDDLESTON. Have you detected any sign that any other nation is continuing
or has in the past conducted experiments similar to this or with a similar objective?
Admiral TURNER. I am not prepared to answer that one off the top of my head, sir, but I
will get it to you.
We maintain no files of up-to-date information on the testing of drugs in foreign countries.
Some years ago we occasionally would review foreign research on antibiotics and
pharmaceuticals in connection with public health and civil defense assessments. For a few
years beginning in 1949 we assessed foreign research on LSD under Project ARTICHOKE
because of concern that such drugs might be employed against Agency and other U.S.
personnel. Information relative to this work has already been provided to relevant Committees.
In this early work we also occasionally looked at foreign human experimentation; we long ago
eliminated our holdings on this subject and no collection requirements are any longer served.
As consumer interest in this area has dropped off and higher priority areas need attention, we
have virtually no present coverage with the possible exception of an occasional scanning of
the literature for a specific program. To the best of our knowledge no other unit in the
Intelligence Community is tracking this subject now.
-44Senator HUDDLESTON. You don't know whether any of your agents anywhere in the
world have been subjected to any kind of procedure like this?
Admiral TURNER. We certainly know of other powers conducting research in these
areas, yes.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Do you know how they go about that research?
Admiral TURNER. It is pretty sketchy, the information we have.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Do you know of any other organization in this country or any
institution that has conducted extensive research on unwitting individuals and through
unwitting institutions?

Admiral TURNER. Well, I have read something in the newspapers about this, but I have
not familiarized myself with it in specifies.
Senator HUDDLESTON. It is not a normal mode of operation for hitman research, is it?
Senator WALLOP. Mr. Chairman, I only have one to follow up on Senator Huddleston's
questions and my earlier ones. You are not really saying, are you Admiral Turner, that
there are no mind-altering drugs or behavior modification procedures which have been
used by foreign powers?
Admiral TURNER. No, sir, I am not.
Senator WALLOP. I drew that inference partly in answer to my question that you knew
of no truth serum. Maybe that is a misnomer, but surely there are relaxants that make
tongues looser than they would otherwise be. Isn't that true?
Senator WALLOP. So I think it is fair to say, too, that the experience of many American
prisoners of war in the Korean conflict would indicate that there are behavior modification
procedures in use by foreign powers of a fairly advanced degree of sophistication.
Senator WALLOP. Again, I will just go back and say I think this must have been part of
the motivation. I don't think you would have mentioned Cardinal Mindszenty had you
thought his behavior was normal at the time or had anybody else. So, I would just again
say I think it is a little bit scapegoating. I don't think the object of this hearing is in any way
to lay blame on those passed or those dead or otherwise, but I think it is a little bit
scapegoating to say that it stopped with the directors of the CIA or the DCT's of the time.
Also I think it is a little bit scapegoating, to say they didn't even know it, but that it was
some lower echelon acting alone.
I think this was a behavior pattern that was prevalent in those years, and I think the object
lesson is that we have discovered, we think and we hope, through your assurances and
other activities of the Congress, means of avoiding future incidents of that kind. I thank
you, Mr. Chairman.
Senator CHAFEE. No questions.
Senator INOUYE. Senator Kennedy, I think you have another question.

-45Senator KENNEDY. Just talking about the two safe houses on the east and west, coast as
being the sources for the unwitting trials, now, the importance of this and the magnitude of
it, I think, is of significance, because we have seen from your records that these we're used
over a period of 8 or 9 years, and the numbers could have been considerable. You are
unable to determine, at least, in your own research, what the numbers would be, and what
the drugs were, how many people were involved, but it could have been considerable
during this period of time.
It would certainly appear to me in examining the documents and the flow charts of cash
slips that were expended in these areas that it was considerable, but that is a judgmental
factor on it, but I think it is important to try and find out what the Agency is attempting to
do to get to the bottom of it.
Now, the principal agent that was involved as I understand it is deceased and has been
deceased for 2 years. The overall agent, Mr. Gottlieb, has indicated a fuzzy memory about
this whole area. He has testified before the Intelligence Committee. Yet he was responsible
for the whole program. Then, the Director had indicated the destruction of the various
materials and unfamiliarity with the project.
Now, you have indicated in your testimony today that there are two additional agents on
page 9 of your testimony, you indicated there were two additional agents which you have
uncovered at the bottom of it, and you say the names of CIA officials who approved or
monitored the various projects. You talk about the two additional agents in your testimony.
Now, I am just wondering if you intend to interview those agents to find out exactly what
is being done. I suppose, first of all, shouldn't the project manager know what was being
done?
Admiral TURNER. Our first problem, Senator, is that we have been unable to associate
an individual with those names at this point. We are still burrowing to find out who these
people are. We haven't identified them as having been CIA employees, and we don't know
whether these were false names.
Senator KENNEDY. You are tracking that down, as I understand it?
Senator KENNEDY. You are tracking that. down, and you have every intention of
interviewing those people to find out whatever you can about the program and project?
Admiral TURNER. My only hesitation here is whether I will do this or the Justice
Department.
Senator KENNEDY. It will be pursued, though, I understand?

Senator KENNEDY. Either through the Agency or through the Justice Department?
Admiral TURNER. [Nods in the affirmative.]
Senator KENNEDY. Is it plausible that the director of the program would not understand
or know about the details of the program? Is it plausible that Dr. Gottlieb would not
understand the full range of activities in those particular safe houses?
-46Admiral TURNER. Let me say it is unlikely. I don't know Mr. Gottlieb.

Senator KENNEDY. Has anybody in the Agency talked with Mr. Gottlieb to find out
about this?
Admiral TURNER. Not since this revelation has come out.
Senator KENNEDY. Not since this revelation? Well, why not?
Admiral TURNER. He has left our employ, Senator.
Senator KENNEDY. Does that mean that anybody who leaves is, you know, covered for
lifetime?
Senator KENNEDY. Why wouldn't you talk with him and find out? You have new
information about this program. It has been a matter of considerable interest both to our
committee and to the Intelligence Committee. Why wouldn't you talk to Mr. Gottlieb?
Admiral TURNER. Well, again, I think the issue is whether this should be done by the
Justice Department or ourselves.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, are we wrestling around because you and Attorney General
Bell can't agree-Admiral TURNER. No, sir.
Senator KENNEDY [continuing]. On who ought to do it?
Admiral TURNER. We are proceeding together in complete agreement as to how to go. I
have, in connection with trying to find all of these Americans or others who were
unwittingly tested, I have some considerable concern about the CIA running around this
country interviewing and interrogating people, because I don't want to give any impression

that we are doing domestic intelligence.

Senator KENNEDY. I am just talking about one, in this case. That was the man who was
responsible for the whole program, and to find out whether anyone within the Agency
since you have had this new material has talked to Gottlieb since 1975, and if the answer is
no, I want to know why not.
Admiral TURNER. The reason he was not interviewed in connection with the 1975
hearings was that he had left the employ of the CIA and there was a concern on the part of
the Agency that it would appear to the investigators that the CIA was in some way trying to
influence him and influence his testimony before the committee. If these committees have,
no objection, we would be happy to contact Dr. Gottlieb and see if he can augment
anything here in this new information, though I don't think there is much in this new
information that be can add to as opposed to what was available in 1975.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, you see, Admiral Turner, you come to the two committees this
morning and indicate that now at last we have the information. We don't have to be
concerned about anything in the future on it. Now, I don't know how you can give those
assurances to the members of these committees as well as to the American people when
you haven't since 1975 even talked to the principal person that was in charge of the
program, and the records were destroyed. He is the fellow that was running the program,
and the Agency has not talked to him since the development of this new material.
Admiral TURNER. Our only concern here is the proprieties involved, and we will dig
into this and work with the Justice Department on
-47who, if either of us, should get into discussions with Dr. Gottlieb so as not to prejudice any
legal rights that may be involved here, or to appear in any way to be improper.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, do I understand you have not contacted the Justice Department
about this particular case since the development of this new material about Gottlieb?
Admiral TURNER. Not about Gottlieb specifically. We have contacted him.
Senator KENNEDY. Well, it is amazing to me. I mean, can you understand the difficulty
that any of us might have in terms of comprehending that when you develop a whole new
series of materials that are on the front page of every newspaper in the country and are on
every television, I mean, that means something, but it does not mean nearly as much as the
interest that we have in the fact about the testing of unwitting Americans, and every single
document that the staff reviews has Mr. Gottlieb's name on it and you come to tell us that
we don't have to worry any more, we have these other final facts, and Mr. Gottlieb has not
been talked to?
Admiral TURNER. Sir, I am not saying that these are in any way the final facts. I am
saying these are all the facts we have available.

Senator KENNEDY. And you have not talked to the person who was in charge of the
program, so what kind of value or what kind of weight can we give it?
Admiral TURNER. We are happy to talk to him. I think the issue here again is one of
propriety and how to go about this. We have not, I believe, enough new information about
Gottlieb's participation here to signal that his interview would be that much more revealing
than what was revealed in 1975.
Senator KENNEDY. The importance of it, I think, from our point of view, is, he would
know the drugs that were administered, the volume of drugs, how it was administered, and
in terms of your ability to follow lip to protect these people and their health, to the extent
that it can be done, that opportunity is being lost.
I want to get on to some others, but will you give us the assurance that you will get ahold
of Gottlieb or that you will talk to Attorney General Bell and talk with Gottlieb?
Senator KENNEDY. And let us know as to the extent of it. I don't see how we can fulfill
our responsibility in this area on the drug testing without our hearing from Gottlieb as well,
but I think it is important that you do so, particularly since all of the materials have been
destroyed.
These other two agents, have they talked to them?
Admiral TURNER. We don't, know who they are, sir. We are trying to track down and
see whether these names can be related to anybody.
Senator KENNEDY. That is under active investigation by the Agency?
Senator KENNEDY. And you have the intention of talking to those people when you
locate them. Is that correct?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir, under the same circumstances as Gottlieb.
Senator KENNEDY. And you have people working on it? Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir.
-48Senator KENNEDY. With regards to the activities that took place in these safe houses, as
I understand from the records, two-way mirrors were used. Is that your understanding?
Admiral TURNER. Yes, sir. We have records that construction was done to put in twoway mirrors.

Senator KENNEDY. And they were placed in the bedroom, as I understand.

[Pause.]
Senator KENNEDY. Well, we have documents-Admiral TURNER. I believe that was in the Church record, but I don't have the details.
Senator KENNEDY. And rather elaborate decorations were added, as I understand, at,
least, to the one in San Francisco, in the bedroom, which are French can-can dancers, floral
pictures, drapery, including installation of bedroom mirrors, three framed Toulouse Lautrec
posters with black silk mats, and a number of other -- red bedroom curtains and recording
equipment, and then a series of documents which were provided to the committee which
indicate a wide proliferation of different cash for $100, generally in the $100 range over
any period of time on the particular checks. Even the names are blocked out, as to the
person who is receiving it. Cash for undercover agents, operating expenses, drinks,
entertainment while administering, and then it is dashed out, and then the other documents,
that would suggest, at least with the signature of your principal agent out there, that "called
to the operation, midnight, and climax."
What can you tell us that it might suggest to you about what techniques were being used by
the Agency in terms of reaching that sort of broad-based group of Americans that were
being evidently enticed for testing in terms of drugs and others? Do you draw ally kind of
conclusion about what might have been going on out there, in these safe houses?
[General laughter.]
Senator KENNEDY. There is a light side to it, but there is also an enormously serious
side. And that is that, at least the techniques which are used or were used in terms of
testing, and trying to find out exactly the range of drugs used and the numbers of people
involved and exactly what that operation was about, as well as the constant reiteration of
the, use of small sums of cash at irregular intervals. A variety of different techniques were
employed but there is an awful lot of documentation putting these matters together.
When you look at the fact that, it is a broad range population that has been tested, tested in
these two areas, with the kind of cash slips that were used in this payment mechanisms and
decorations and all of the rest, we are not able to put a bottom line on it but one thing is for
sure, and that is, Gottlieb knows. That is one thing for sure, because his name appears on
just about every one of these documents, and it is, I think, very important to find out what
his understanding is of the nature of that. So, we will hear more about that.
Admiral TURNER. I believe Gottlieb has been interviewed by the Congress.
Senator KENNEDY. That's right, he has, and in reviewing the record, it is not very
satisfactory, and it just seems with the new information

that time -- and with the wide variety of different memoranda with his name on it, his
memory could be stimulated on that.
Thank you.
Senator INOUYE. I would like to thank the admiral and his staff for participating in this
hearing. I believe the record should show that this hearing was held at the request of the
Agency and the admiral. It was not held because we insisted upon it. It was a volunteer
effort on the part of the Agency. I think the record should also indicate that Admiral Turner
has forwarded to this committee a classified file, including all of the names of the
institutions and the persons involved as the experimentors.
I should also indicate that this hearing is just one step involved in the committee's
investigation of drug abuse. Just as you have had much work in going over the 8,000
pages, the staff of this committee has had equal problems, but I would like the record to
show that you have made these papers and documents available to the committee. I thank
you for that.
As part of the ongoing investigation, we had intended to call upon many dozens of others,
experimentors, or those officials in charge, and one of those will be Dr. Gottlieb.
In thanking you, I would like to say this to the American people, that what we have
experienced this morning in this committee room is not being duplicated in any other
committee room in any other part of the world. I doubt that very much. Our Agency and
our intelligence community has been under much criticism and has been subjected to much
abuse, in many cases justified, but this is the most open society that I can think of. For
example, in Great Britain there are about six people who are aware of the identity of the
man in charge of intelligence. In other countries, similar conditions exist. Here in the
United States we not only know Admiral Turner, we have had open hearings with him,
such as this. The confirmation hearings were all open.
In a few weeks, the Senate of the United States will debate a resolution to decide upon
whether we should disclose the amounts and funds being used for counterintelligence and
national intelligence. I would hope that, in presenting this issue to the public, the media
will take note that the Agency has cooperated and will continue to. The abuse that we have
learned about this morning is one I hope will never happen again, but without constant
oversight on the part of the Executive Office, on the part of the Congress, it could happen
again. It is important, therefore that we continue in this oversight activity.
So, once, again, Admiral, I thank yon very much for helping us. We will continue to call
upon you for your assistance. We would like to submit to you several questions that the
members and staff have prepared. I hope you will look them over carefully and prepare
responses for the record, sir.
Senator KENNEDY. Mr. Chairman?

Senator KENNEDY. I, too, want to thank Admiral Turner for his responsiveness. I have
had meetings with him in the committees and also conversations, telephone conversations,
and private meetings, and
-50I have found him personally to be extremely responsive, and it is a very difficult challenge
which lie has accepted in heading this Agency. I want you to know, personally, I, too,
would like to see this put behind us. I don't think we are quite there yet in terms of this
particular area that we are interested in. I think the Intelligence Committee has special
responsibilities in this area of the testing, so we look forward to working with you in
expediting the time that we can put it behind, but it does seem to me that we have to dig in
and finish the chapter. So, I want to personally express my appreciation to you, Admiral
Turner, and thank you for your cooperation and your help, and I look forward to working
with you.
Admiral TURNER. Thank you.
Senator HUDDLESTON. Mr. Chairman, I am not sure you emphasized this enough, but I
think the record ought to show that Admiral Turner informed the Select Committee on his
own initiative when the new documentation was found. The documentation has been made
available to us voluntarily, in a spirit of cooperation.
I think this shows a vast difference from the mode of operation that existed prior to the
formation at least of the Church committee, and a difference that is very helpful.
Senator INOUYE. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Admiral.
We would now like to call upon Mr. Philip Goldman and Mr. John Gittinger.
Mr. Goldman and Mr. Gittinger, will you please rise and take the oath.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth

Documents Referring To Discovery
Of Additional MKULTRA Material
[document begins]
22 June 1977
MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
THROUGH: Deputy Director for Science and Technology
1. (U/AIUO) This memorandum is to advise you that additional MKULTRA documents
have been discovered and to obtain your approval for follow-on actions required. Paragraph
7 contains a recommended course of action.
2. (U/AIUO) As a result of John Marks FOIA request (F-76-374), all of the MKULTRA
material in OTS possession was reviewed for possible release to him. Following that
review, the OTS material in the Retired Records Center was searched. It was during that
latter search that the subproject files were located among the retired records of the OTS
Budget and Fiscal Section. These files were not discovered earlier as the earlier searches
were limited to the examination of the active and retired records of those branches
considered most likely to have generated or have had access to MKULTRA documents.
Those branches included: Chemistry, Biological, Behavioral Activities, and Contracts
Management. Because Dr. Gottlieb retrieved and destroyed all the MKULTRA documents
he was able to locate, it is not surprising that the earlier search for MKULTRA documents,
directed at areas where they were most likely to be found, was unsuccessful. The purpose of

establishing the MKULTRA mechanism was to limit knowledge of the sensitive work being
performed to those with an absolute need to know. If those precepts had been followed, the
recently found B&F files should have contained only financial and administrative
documents. (In retrospect, I realize that

a serious error was made in not having B&F files and other seemingly innocuous files
searched earlier.) As it happened most of the individual subproject folders contain project
proposals and memoranda for the record, which in varying degrees, give a reasonably
complete picture of the avenues of research funded through MKULTRA. For your
information, the original memorandum setting up MKULTRA, signed by Mr. Dulles, is also
among these documents. A copy of the memorandum is attached.
3. (U/AIUO) At this writing, it does not appear that there is anything in these newly
located files that would indicate the MKULTRA activities were more extensive or more
controversial than indicated by the Senate Select (Church) Committee Report. If anything,
the reverse is true, i.e., most of the nearly 200 subprojects are innocuous. Thus, the
overview of MKULTRA is essentially unchanged. With two exceptions, the project find
fills in some of the missing details.
4. (U/AIUO) One of these exceptions is Subproject Number 45 which concerns an
activity that should have been reported earlier. That project deals with the search for a
knockout drug which was concomitant with, and a by-product of, cancer research at a major
university. It is believed that an objective reading of that project would demonstrate the
search for knockout materials and anesthetics were compatible activities. However, the
research proposal stated that "chemical agents... will be subjected to clinical screening... on
advanced cancer patients".
5. (C) Subproject Number 55 contains full details of CIA's contribution of $375,000 to
the [deletion] Building Fund. The Agency was then involved in drug research programs,
many of which were being conducted by [deletion] whose facilities were inadequate. In
order to facilitate the ongoing research programs, it was decided to expedite the building
program by contributing to it through a mechanism that was also being used to fund some
of the research projects.

The contribution could be controversial in that it was made through a mechanism making it
appear to be a private donation. Private donations qualified for, and [deletion] received, an
equal amount of Federal matching funds. A letter from the Office of General Counsel dated
21 February 1954 attesting to the legality of this funding is in the file.
6. (U/AIUO) The Legislative Counsel has been made aware of the existence of these
additional MKULTRA documents which are still under review and sanitation. The MARKS
case is in litigation and we are committed to advise Mr. Marks of the existence of these files
shortly, and to deliver the releasable material to his attorneys by 31 July. A letter from the
Information and Privacy Staff to Mr. Marks' attorneys informing them of the existence of
this material is in the coordination process and is scheduled to be mailed on 24 June.
7. (U/AIUO) There are now two actions that should be taken:
a. Release appropriately sanitized material to Mr. Marks' attorneys as required by
FOIA litigation.
b. Inform the Senate Select Committee of the existence of the recently located records
prior to informing Mr. Marks' attorneys.
It is recommended that you approve of both of these actions.
8. (U/AIUO) If additional details on the contents of this material are desired, the OIS
officers most familiar with it are prepared to brief you at your convenience.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
During the course of 1975 when the Senate Committee, chaired by Senator Church, was
investigating intelligence activities, the CIA was asked to produce documentation on a
program of experimentation with the effect of drugs. Under this project conducted from
1953 to 1964 and known as "MK-ULTRA," tests were conducted on American citizens in
some cases without their knowledge. The CIA, after searching for such documentation,
reported that most of the documents on this matter have been destroyed. I find it my duty to
report to you now that our continuing search for drug related, as well as other documents,
has uncovered certain papers which bear on this matter. Let me hasten to add that I am
persuaded that there was no previous attempt to conceal this material in the original 1975
exploration. The material recently discovered was in the retired archives filed under
financial accounts and only uncovered by using extraordinary and extensive search efforts.
In this connection, incidentally, I have personally commended the employee whose
diligence produced this find.
Because the new material now on hand is primarily of a financial nature, it does not
present a complete picture of the field of drug experimentation activity but it does provide
more detail than was previously available to us. For example, the following types of
activities were undertaken:
a. Possible additional cases of drugs being tested on American citizens, without their
knowledge.
b. Research was undertaken on surreptitious methods of administering drugs.
c. Some of the persons chosen for experimentation were drug addicts or alcoholics.
d. Research into the development of a knockout or "K" drug was performed in
conjunction with being done to develop pain killers for advanced cancer patients, and tests
on such patients were carried out.

2
e. There is a possibility of an improper payment to a private institution.
The drug related activities described in this newly located material began almost 25 years
ago. I assure you they were discontinued over 10 years ago and do not take place today.
In keeping with the President's commitment to disclose any errors of the Intelligence
Community which are uncovered, I would like to volunteer to testify before your

As I said before, get to know your neighbors before
they get to know you. It was our experience that our
neighbors were helping the ghost in victimizing us
both knowingly and through deception.
Private
investigators will tell people just about anything to gain
their confidence and assistance, including producing false
ID's as one type of law enforcement agency or another.
They may be willingly helping criminals invaded your
privacy or be fooled into allowing receivers or cameras to be
mounted on their homes around yours, thinking they're
helping a legitimate agency. Trust me, the FBI is not going
to ask your neighbors for permission to mount pan-tiltzoom cameras on their house to watch you. However, criminals posing as FBI or police will!
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE STUPIDITY OF THE PUBLIC; many people will believe whatever
story the criminals present, especially if there's a financial incentive.

As a physician, I've seen the devastating effects of Rohypnol, the date rape drug
when used by rapists to block the memories of their victims. Although a woman may
realize she's been raped, the drug, usually surreptitiously spiked in a drink, denier the
ability to identify her attackers. In states that border Mexico it's been a huge problem due to its easy
availability. Rohypnol and its equally sinister cousin GHB have both been banned from use in the US due
to their us in drug assisted rape. However, they're both available without prescription across the border in
Mexico and though illicit foreign pharmaceutical Websites. For year they were undetectable in the urine of
rape victims; however, of recent, tests have been made available that will detect them for up to 36 hours
post-ingestion. The FBI and local law enforcement agencies have stiffened the penalties for drug assisted
rape, reclassifying them as aggravated sexual assault, a felony.
Rohypnol combined with Satellite control is an even more menacing problem. In
most cases, the drug is placed in the drink of the victim in a bar room setting. Oderless and
tasteless, it goes un-noticed until the victim awakens to find signs of assault, with little or no
recall to initiate a legal investigation. If that's not horrible enough, compound the problem
with someone already a victim of satellite mind control. No longer would the victim have to be
abducted or raped in a parking lot; they're drugged and raped at home. The police are of little
help in this scenario even if the victim suspects rape. Since you haven't left the house, and
have no recall of the attackers, they pretty much disregard it. That is, if the victim is brave
enough to call the police in the first place, knowing their recall is limited or often attributing
itself to a nightmare. Such is the case with Mallory.

Re:


It comes with great regret and frustration that I must write you this unfortunate letter, however, I
see no other way to stop these attacks against me while I attempt to litigate in Federal, State, and Local
Courts. My most recent case, US Supreme Court Case No. 16-6822.
COINTELPRO (a portmanteau derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of covert, and
at times illegal,[1][2] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed
at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting and disrupting domestic political organizations.[3]
FBI records show that COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI deemed
subversive,[4] including anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the Civil Rights Movement or Black
Power movement (e.g., Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black Panther Party), feminist organizations, anticolonial movements (such as Puerto Rican independence groups like the Young Lords), and a variety of
organizations that were part of the broader New Left.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to "expose,
disrupt, misdirect, discredit, neutralize or otherwise eliminate" the activities of these movements and
especially their leaders.[5][6] Under Hoover, the agent in charge of COINTELPRO was William C. Sullivan.
[7] Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy personally authorized some of these programs.[8] Although
Kennedy only gave written approval for limited wiretapping of King's phones "on a trial basis, for a month
or so",[9] Hoover extended the clearance so his men were "unshackled" to look for evidence in any areas
of King's life they deemed worthy.[10]
(A) the attendance of a witness or party at an official proceeding, or any testimony given or any record,
document, or other object produced by a witness in an official proceeding; or
commission of a Federal offense or a violation of conditions of probation, supervised release, parole, or
release pending judicial proceedings.

into the egregious human rights and civil liberties violations of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), as well as the
Federal
Bureau
of
Investigation (FBI) against people both foreign and
domestic. Such blatant transgressions
included the neutralization and
elimination of political dissidents, enemies of the
state, real or imagined threats to National Security, and anyone else on the proverbial shit list
of the
Governmental
Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, a U.S. Senate committee chaired by Senator Frank
Church (D ID) in 1975. A precursor to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the committee
investigated intelligence gathering for illegality by the aforementioned agencies after certain activities
had been revealed by the Watergate
affair.
Some famous examples which have since emerged include: (1) the FBI sending letters to Martin
Luther King Jr encouraging him to kill himself or else they would tell the world about
his
sexual
proclivities; (2) the planned or successful assassinations of foreign leaders such
as Fidel Castro, Patrice
Lumumba, and countless other South American, Middle Eastern or
Asian leaders; (3) the wholesale
undermining of entire foreign economies if they democratically elected someone at odds with the elite
power structure deep state of the United States such as what occurred against Salvatore Allende of
Guatemala; (4) the possible assassination of John F Kennedy; (5) revelations of Christopher Pyle in
January
York Times article by Seymour Hersh detailing operations engaged in by the CIA over the years
that had been dubbed the "family jewels, involving covert action programs involving
assassination
attempts against foreign leaders and covert attempts to subvert foreign
governments were reported
for the first time; (7) efforts by intelligence agencies to collect information on the political activities of US
citizens; and (8) countless other examples, both overseas and domestically.
The end result of the Church Committee Hearings was the outright banning on CIA assassinations
as well as the FBI/DOJ COINTELPRO gang-stalking programs. In 1975 and
1976, the Church Committee
published fourteen reports on various U.S. intelligence agencies' formation, operations, and the alleged
abuses of law and of power that they had
committed, with recommendations for reform, some of
which were later put in place.
methods during COINTELPRO:
main
(1)Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main purpose
was to discredit and disrupt. Their very presence served to undermine trust and scare off potential
supporters. The FBI and police exploited this fear to smear genuine activists as agents;
about
meetings and events, set up pseudo movement groups run by government agents, and
manipulated or strong armed parents, employers, landlords, school officials and others
to cause
trouble for activists. They used bad jacketing to create suspicion about targeted
activists,
sometimes with lethal consequences;
Page 7 of 15
harass
dissidents and make them appear to be criminals. Officers of the law gave perjured testimony and
presented fabricated evidence as a pretext for false arrests and wrongful
imprisonment. They
discriminatorily enforced tax laws and other government regulations and
used
conspicuous
surveillance, "investigative" interviews, and grand jury subpoenas in an effort to intimidate
activists and silence their supporters;
(4) Illegal force: The FBI conspired with local police departments to threaten dissidents; to
conduct illegal break ins in order to search dissident homes; and to commit vandalism,
assaults,
beatings and assassinations. The object was to frighten or eliminate dissidents
and disrupt
their movements.
Unfortunately I cannot leave my home with being stalked, harassed and threatened by neighbors,
passerby's, etc., On a daily basis I have someone, or groups of people entering my home, vandalizing,
stealing, and poisoning my food. To make matters worse, this protocol follows me in federal, state, and
local courthouses. Every electronic device that I have and use is compromised and hacked in some
fashion. Every online account is the same, and every financial account, including checking accounts,
vendor accounts, utilities, etc., contains some form of fraud and theft by deception costing me money.
Well, the following links are my supporting evidence, and NOW I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A
VERY HAPPY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS. DON'T EVER TAKE YOUR FREEDOM FOR GRANTED, SIR! I
WISH I HAD THE FREEDOM YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ENJOYS.

CATERBONE v. Unted States of America, et.al., Case No. 16-cv-0414 in the United States
Disctrict Court for Eastern Pennsylvania
Page 9 of 15

In 1987 I became a federal whistleblower for the case of local defense contractor International Signal and
Control, or ISC. ISC was a black ops program for the NSA and CIA that was convicted in 1992 for an
elaborate scheme to arm Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries with a broad array of weapons, most
notably cluster bombs. It was the third larges fraud in U.S. History at that time. I have been a victim of
organized stalking since 1987 and a victim of electronic and direct energy weapons since 2005. I had also
been telepathic since 2005. In 2005 the U.S. Sponsored Mind Control turned into an all-out assault of
mental telepathy; synthetic telepathy; hacking of all electronic devices; vandilism and thefts of personal
property, extortions, intellectual property violations, obstruction of justice; violations of due process; thefts
and modifications of court documents; and pain and torture through the use of directed energy devices
and weapons that usually fire a low frequency electromagnetic energy at the targeted victim. This assault
was no coincidence in that it began simultaneously with the filing of the federal action in U.S. District
Court, or CATERBONE v. Lancaster County Prison, et. al., or 05-cv-2288. This assault began after the
handlers remotely trained/sychronized Stan J. Caterbone with mental telepathy. The main difference
opposed to most other victims of this technology is that I am connected 24/7 with the same person who
declares telepathically she is a known celebrity. Over the course of 10 years I have been telepathic with
at least 20 known persons and have spent 10 years trying to validate and confirm their identities without
success. Most U.S. intelligence agencies refuse to cooperate, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
the U.S. Attorney's Office refuse to comment and act on the numerous formal complaints that are filed in
their respective offices. Most complaints are focused on the routine victimization's of a targeted individual
including but not limited to stalking, harassment, threats, vandalism, thefts, extortion, burglaries, false
imprisonments, fabricated mental health warrants or involuntary commitments, pain and torture to the
body, and most often the cause of obstruction of justice is the computer hacking.

In 2016 I was the AMICUS for Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane in the Pennsylvania Superior
Court Case No. 1164 EDA 2016 in the COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. Kane which included perjury
charges during the alleged leaking of grand jury information. Kathleen Kane took on the Good Old Boy
network regarding judicial reform in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in an effort to rid the state of the
long standing public corruption ring that was evident from local law enforcement to Supreme Court
Justices, and everyone in between.

In 2009 I Proposed an ORGANIZED STALKING AND DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS HARASSMENT BILL to
Pennsylvania House of Representative Mike Sturla (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) and City of Lancaster Mayor
Richard Gray in 2009. The draft legislation is the work of Missouri House of Representative Jim Guest, who
has been working on helping victims of these horrendous crimes for years. The bill will provide protections
to individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and assaulted; as well as
protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured, and killed by electronic
frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and directed energy weapons. I again reintroduced
the bill to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in 2015 and frequented the Pennsylvania Capitol trying to
find support and a sponsor; which I still do to this day.

Stan J. Caterbone has drawn upon the success in developing the strategic vision for his company and the
experience gained in directing the legal affairs and public offering efforts in dealing with Fulton Financial. I
have been in recent discussions with the Fulton Financial Board of Directors with regards to various
complaints dealing with such issues as the Resource Bank acquisition and the subprime failures. I believe
that Fulton Financial needs management to become more aggressive in it's strategic planning and the
performance it expects from it's management team in order to increase shareholder value. Expanding the
footprint of the regional bank has not yielded an increase to the bottom line that is consistent with the
expectations of shareholders. Lancaster County has seen several local banking institutions acquired by
larger regional banks, thus increasing the competition Fulton Financial will see in it's local marketplace as
well as in it's regional footprint.

throughout the United States and Costa Rica. We also began a Day Trading project that lasted until 2004
with success.

the Excelsior Building on E. King Street, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This plan was developed in conjunction
with the Comprehensive Economic Development Plan for the Revitalization of Downtown Lancaster and the

In 1999 I contributed to the debate, research, and implementation of strategies to counter the effects of
the global Y2K threat to the worlds computer technologies. I attended the U.S. Sponsored Y2K symposium
and Conference in Washington, D.C. hosted by the Senate Y2K Subcommittee and Senator William
Bennett.
promoting education and awareness for mental illness and suicide prevention. We had provided funding for
the Mental Health Alliance of Lancaster County, Contact Lancaster (The 24/7 Suicide Prevention Hotline),
The Schreiber Pediatric Center, and other charitable organizations and faith based charities. The video
"Numbers Don't Lie" have been distributed to schools, non profit organizations, faith based initiatives, and
municipalities to provide educational support for the prevention of suicide and to bring awareness to
mental illness problems.

implementing computerized accounting, accounting and contract policies and procedures, human resource
policies and procedures, marketing strategies, performance measurement reporting, and negotiate for the
payment of unpaid contracts. The bonding company was especially problematic, since it was the lifeline to
continue work and bidding for public contracts. The Bank of Lancaster County demanded a complete
accounting of the operations in order to stave off a default on the notes and loans it was holding. We
essentially revamped the entire operation. Within 3 years, the company realized an increase in profits of 3
to 4 times its previous years, and record revenues.
In 1991 I was elected to People to People International and the Citizen Ambassador Program, which was
founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. The program was founded to To give specialists from
throughout the world greater opportunities to work together and effectively communicate with peers, The
Citizen Ambassador program administers face-to-face scientific, technical, and professional exchanges
throughout the world. In 1961, under President John F. Kennedy, the State Department established a nonprofit private foundation to administer the program. We were scheduled to tour the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe to discuss printing and publishing technologies with scientists and technicians around the
world.
telecommunications.

In 1989 I had founded Advanced Media Group, Ltd., and was one of only 5 or 6 U.S. domestic companies
that had the capability to manufacture CD-ROM's. We did business with commercial companies,
government agencies, educational institutions, and foreign companies. I performed services and contracts
for the Department of Defense, NASA, National Institution of Standards & Technology (NIST), Department
of Defense, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Defense Mapping Agency,
Central Intelligence Agency, (CIA), IBM, Microsoft, AMP, Commodore Computers, American Bankers Bond
Buyers, and a host of others. I also was working with R.R, Donnelly's Geo Systems, which was developing
various interactive mapping technologies, which is now a major asset of Map Quest. Map Quest is the
premier provider of mapping software and applications for the internet and is often used in delivering
maps and directions for Fortune 500 companies. We had arranged for High Industries to sell American
Helix, the manufacturer of compact discs, to R.R. Donnelly. We had brokered a deal and the executives
from Donnellys Chicago headquarters flew to Lancaster to discuss the deal and perform due diligence of
the manufacturing facility located in the Greenfield Industrial Park.
In 1987 Power Station Studios of New York and Tony Bongiovi retained me as executive producer of
a motion picture project. The theatrical and video release was to be delivered in a digital format; the first
of its kind. We had originated the marketing for the technology, and created the concept for the Power
Station Digital Movie System (PSDMS), which would follow the copyright and marketing formula of the
DOLBY technology trademark.

the country. We were also very attractive to companies that wanted to raise capital that include both debt
and equity. Through my company, FMG, we could raise equity funding through private placements, and
debt funding through FMG Mortgage Banking. We were retained by Gamillion Studios of Hollywood,
other prominent local developers seeking our competitive funding, including Owen Kugal, High Industries,

program for where everyone had the opportunity for equity ownership in the new firm. FMG had financial
planners, investment managers, accountants, attorneys, realtors, liability insurance services, tax
preparers, and estate planners operating out of our corporate headquarters in Lancaster. In one year, we
had 24 people on staff, had approximately 12 offices in Pennsylvania, and
advisors were generating almost $4 million of commissions, which did not include the fees from the other
professionals. We had acquired our own Broker Dealer firm and were valued at about $3 to $4 million.
In 1985 I developed the Easter Regional Free Agent Camp, the first Free Agent Camp for the Professional
Football industry; which was videotaped for distribution to the teams scouting departments. (See
Washington Post page article of March 24, 1985) Current camps were dependant on the team scouts to
travel from state to state looking for recruits. We had developed a strategy of video taping the camp and
the distributing a copy, free of charge to the teams, to all of the scouting departments for teams in all
three leagues FL, CFL and WFL. My brother was signed at that camp by the Ottawa Roughriders of the
CFL, and went on to be a leading receiver while J.C. Watts was one of the leagues most prominent
quarterbacks. My brother also played 2 years with the Miami Dolphins while Dan Marino was starting
quarterback. We were a Certified Agent for the National Football League Players Association. Gene
Upshaw, the President of the NFLPA had given me some helpful hints for my camp, while we were at a
Conference for agents of the NFL. The Washington Post wrote a full-page article about our camp and
associated it with other camps that were questionable about their practices. Actually, that was the very
reason for our camp. We had attended many other camps around the country that were not very well
organized and attracted few if any scouts. We had about 60 participants, with one player coming from as
far away as Hawaii. We held the camp at Lancaster Catholic, with a professional production company
filming the entire camp, while I did the editing and produced the video. The well respected and widely
acclaimed professional football scout, Gil Brandt, of the Dallas Cowboys, had given me support for my
camp during some conversations We had with him and said he looked forward to reviewing the tapes for
any hopeful recruits.
In 1985 I was elected Vice President of the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the International Association
of Financial Planners, and helped build that chapter by increasing membership 3to 4 times. We had
personally retained the nationally acclaimed and nationally syndicated Financial Planner, Ms. Alexandria
Armstrong of Washington D.C.; to host a major fundraiser. More than 150 professionals attended the
dinner event that was held at the Eden Resort & Conference Center. Ms. Armstrong discussed financial
planning and how all of the professions needed to work together in order to be most effective for their
clients. We attracted a wide variety of professionals including; brokers, lawyers, accountants, realtors, tax
specialists, estate planners, bankers, and investment advisors. Today, it has become evident that financial
planning was the way of the future. In 1986 executives approached us from Blue Ball National Bank to
help them develop a Financial Planning department within their bank.
In 1984 I had helped to develop strategic planning for Sandy Weill, former President of CITI Group (the
largest banking entity in the U.S). We were one of several associates asked to help advise on the future of
Financial Planning and how it would impact the brokerage and the investment industry at large. Mr. Weil
was performing due diligence for the merger of American Express and IDS (Investors Diversified Services).
We were at that time a national leader in the company in delivering Fee Based Financial Planning Services,
which was a new concept in the investment community and mainstream investors. That concept is now
widely held by most investment advisers.
