MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: MKULTRA - Comments of
Chief, TSD, on Draft Report of Inspection
1. I called.,_ jto acknowledge receipt of Dr.
Gottlieb's comments on John Vance's draft report of inspection
of MKULTRA, TSD. I said I felt this reply was very helpful
in explaining the TSD position on the most critical points on
our 1G recommendations,.
1 testing on unwitting subjects,
--I I reminded_ _./that his rebuttal dealt with
only three of the ten specific recommendations we had made
in our 1G report. He replied that the balance of these recom-
mendations really all, related to tightening up the administration
of the charter and that he personally welcomed the opportunity
to have this spelled out in greater detail. I said I felt that our
recommendations went quite beyond the field of administration
and cited in particular the problem of _
j--I said this was much more than
an administration problem, and. that we would like to know what
solution he and Dr. Gottlieb proposed to improve
_1 _ jtended to dismiss this problem
�
partially on the grounds that it was a function Oa personal .
relationship between him and who ever might be the DD/R at
any given time, and partially because he didn't think there ways
any dogmatic or systematic solution.
2. I told � �:!that we would prefer not to submit
our MKULTRA paper to the DD/P without some more explicit
statement from him on the problem of
land that we also felt Dr. Gottlieb's three page
indorsement failed to comment on our detailed proposals for
tightening up the administration of MKULTRA activities. Mr.
�11�1111100
o..
appreciated this but felt that they had registered their
views on the most important points at isSue, and they urged
us at this stage to go ahead and submit our report with the
Gottlieb indorsement as it now stands to DD/P.
3. Recommendation:. I think we have little to gain by
massaging this report any further and recommend that we
submit it to the DD/P with a request for his specific comments
on our recommendations. I recommend that we redraft the
last recommendation on the audit function in accordance with
the proposal of
