Your note to Senator Javits was referred to this Agency
for response. The "mind control" experiments to which-yon
refer are undoubtedly the recently publicized NIKULTRA projects.
carried.on by CIA from 1953 to.1964.
The CIA began research in the area of behavior control
from a defensive posture aimed at protection of American
personnel and countering Soviet behavior control methods.
To date the Agency has released over 13,000 pages of
MKULTRA documents. If you are interested in reviewing the
documents, the Agency maintains a reading room which is open
two days a week. For information on the reading room please
