MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy Director Central Intelligence
THROUGH Acting Deputy Director Administration
FROM
Chief, Information and Privacy Staff
SUBJECT : Probable Compromise of MKULTRA Details
The Information and Privacy Staff has been acting as
the final review mechanism prior to release to the general
public of documents pertaining to subprojects under MKULTRA.
This review has been made on copies of documents already
sanitized but not released to the public. When omissions are
discovered they are marked in red ink and a duplicate set of
documents are treated by blacking out these new portions to
be sanitized.
IPS discovered that one set of work copies-, the red and
its blackened companion version, was missing. Although 58
documents showed oversights in their initial sanitization onl
25X1A three are considered to be significant. These mention
(subproject 32, Document 3), University of Maryland (subproject
STATOTHR 59, Document 5) and (subproject 57, Documents 42, 46, 48.)
Extensive efforts were made to locate these resanitized
work copies without success. Therefore, we must assume the worst;
that is, that these copies were sent to two requesters, one
receiving the red work copy and the other receiving the blackened
version.
Needless to say, I, with my final review officer, have
changed procedures to eliminate further possible release of
work copies.
