On 3 March 1978. we received from Senator Richard Lugarts 25X1
office a copy of your 14 January 1978 letter to. him requesting
information regarding certain experiments you believe may
have been performed on your deceased father,
The recently discovered files of Project MKULTRA do
contain evidence that research involving human testing was
conducted in the fields. of behavior control using techniques
involving hypnosis, drugs, etc. Our records indicate-such
testing on unwitting subjects ceased in 1964. Unfortunately,
Project MKULTRA files do not contain the names of persons
who may have been used as test subjects. Therefore,. in our
search of relevant files, your father'.s name was. not found.
Admiral Turner has assured the Congress that the
CIA. will attempt to identify those persons who were the
subjects.of unwitting testing conducted under Project NKULTRA.
To this end, the institutions where Project MKULTRA testing
took place have been. notified of their involvement with the
project. Admiral Turner has offered these institutions his
full cooperation in helping them.identify the persons who
were test subjects. Please be assured.I will inform you
immediately if any institution notifies CIA*that it has
identified your father as having been a Project NKULTRA
test subject. Since the Army conducted similar type
experiments, we recommend that you also write to the Department
of the Army, Office of the Surgeon General, Room 3E458, The
Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 20310..
Sincerely,
SIB ED
