For Review of Senate Human Resources Subcommittee on
Health and Scientific Research MKULTRA Files
1. Ms. Jean Fitz-Simon who works on FOIA
matters with the Department of Justice, is currently handling
an appeal case on behalf of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
In an attempt to determine what files and involvement if any,
DEA has on MKULTRA type related matters, Ms. Fitz-Simon
requested permission from Mr. Walter Sheridan, of the Senate
Human Resources Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research
staff, to review the Subcommittee's files on drugs. Since the
Subcommittee's files contain classified CIA documents,
Mr. Sheridan wanted us to determine if CIA had any problem
with allowing her access to the Subcommittee's files.
2. I checked with of OTS (MKULTRA STAT
records) an of ORD CHICKWIT records) to STAT
see if they would have any objection to Ms. Fitz-Simon
reviewing this classified CIA material. Neither one had
an objection and according tol Ms. Fitz-Simon has STAT
already reviewed, at his office all the classified MKULTRA
material held by OTS. I of OLC, confirmed that
Ms. Fitz-Simon's clearance with DOJ is current and is at
the Top-Secret level.
3. Before calling Mr. Sheridan, I called
Ms. Fitz- imon an advised her that should she come across
any DEA leads in the classified CIA material held by the
Subcommittee that she should contact me before taking any
further action. She agreed.
4. 1 -1 On 13 January 1978, I advised Mr. Sheridan
that CIA had no objection if Ms. Fitz-Simon reviewed the
Subcommittee's drug files. Mr. Sheridan said he would contact
her and set up an appointment.
