4 I advised Mr. Helms that the written report on MKULTRA and
its sub-projects would be prepared in draft and in one copy only
which would be discussed with him and with Chief, TSD, and a decision
rade as to whether any portions of the report might be pulled out
and made a part of the full report on TSD or remain in the sensitive
"one copy only" annex. This was agreed to. It was also agreed that
other sensitive projects covered during the survey will be included
in the "one copy only" annex. Note: John Vance will handle MKULTRA
and knowledge of this program will be kept to an absolute minimum.

Note: Mr. Helms advised me on 24 May 1963 that he had briefed the
Director on the MKDELTA program and in particular had covered
the "testing" which concerned me. Mr. Helms said the Director
indicated no disagreement and therefore the "testing" will continue.
I reiterated to Mr.. Helms my concern about MKULTRA as a whole
and that John Vance is drafting a paper on this project in one copy
only, which I will discuss with Helms. He agreed that possibly the
time has come for a new charter to be drawn. From what I have
learned from Vance, this is a must and not a possibility. I also
told Mr. Helms that Chief, TSD, is in complete agreement that
the new charter for MKULTRA is needed.
