Extent of University Work for CI A.4
By JO THOMAS
Special to Th. New York Times
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8--Despite three
days of Congressional hearings, no one
yet knows the degree to which some of
the nation's most prominent universities
were. compromised in the Central Intelli-
gence ,Agency's secret mind-control re-
search in the 1930's and 1960's, .
Adm. Stansfield Turner, the Director
of Central Intelligence, said in Congres-
,sional' testimony last August 'that the
C.I.A.. covertly sponsored research at 80
institutions, including 44 ? colleges 'and
universitiesZ'- from 1953 to 1963. The re-
search part of the project code-.
named MK-ULTRA, which sought to con-
trol human behavior through such means:
as hypnosis, drugs and brainwashing.
The Senate Health Subcommittee,.
which wanted to hear the academicians'
reaction, quietly invited the presidents
of 20'institutions to testify at its hearings
Sept. 20 and 21. Only one president ac-
cepted; he was not scheduled to testify
because all the others declined, explain-
jag-that they had previous engagements.'
The .list of the 80 institutions given
1 to Senate investigators is still .classified,
'but each of those institutions has been
(notified separately by the-C.I.A. that in
I some way, knowingly or unknowingly.
it played host to C.I.A. research, and 26
colleges and universities have acknowl-
edged this publicly.
Research Varied
Inquiries at these institutions disclosed
J hat C.I.A. resew rch on campus varied
from innocuous sociological surveys to
tests aimed at finding better ways to ad-
minister drugs to unsuspecting subjects.
:The attitudes of current administrators
likewise ran the gamut from outrage to
indifference:
i The passage of. time, more than 20 years
in some cases:" the C.I.A.'s secretiveness
during the .project and the fragmentary
nature of the records the C.I.A. has made
available to universities have combined,
in most. cases, to make a reconstruction
of what happened difficult or impossible.
At many universities, money for these
projects, was channeled through founda-
tions so that neither the university nor
the professor doing the research knew
the true sponsor or purpose of the work.
Sociological, cultural and anthropological
studies were financed through the Society
for the Investigation of Human Ecology,
based at Cornell University. Biochemical
and medical research was often financed
through the Geschicktcr Fund fgrMeediical

Under the Provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5521 the Freedom of Infor-

has on the two subjects underlined in the enclosed New York Times
clipping. Of particular interest to us is the information -- letters,
replies to letters, reports, etc. -- regarding the Rutgers University
sociology department1s being paid by the agency (perhaps through
the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology at the Cornell
Medical Center in New York) to conduct a study of Hungarian
reatfugees. Also of interest to us is the funding of the Educational
Testing Service in Princeton to investigate the relationship
between two broad theories of personality.
If there are any fees for searching for, or copying, the
records I have requested, please supply the records without
informing me of the cost, and bill me if the fees do not
exceed $300.
If any part/of this request is denied, please cite.the

a Cornell Students Protest
Professor's CIA Ties
Graduate students in the de-
partment of government at Cor-
nell University have denounced
the involvement of students and
faculty members with the Central
Intelligence Agency and the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation.
The protest, in the form of a
resolution, came in response to
the employment of Myron Rush,
a professor in the department, as
a "scholar in residence at C.I.A.
headquarters in Langley, Va. Mr.
Rush, a specialist in Soviet inter-
nal affairs, is on leave without
pay from the university while he
is with the c.i.4t. He is expected
to return to Cornell next fall.
The graduate students' broadly
worded resolution--an early draft
of which called for Mr. Rush's
dismissal-urged the university to
adopt a policy preventing faculty
members' involvement "with or-
ganizations which engage in il-
legal activities." 1

Prof, essor's Employment by C.I.A.
Draws Cornell Students' Protest
ITHACA, March 14-A Cornell Univer-
sity professor of government, on leave
this year at the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy; has sparked a protest by graduate
students in government here who believe
.faculty members should not be working
for the Central Intelligence Agency In any
capacity.
The controversy comes at a time when
colleges and universities across the coun-
try are examining ties and suspected ties
to the intelligence agency In the wake
of the report by a Senate committee last
spring that the agency's links to the
academic community were widespread
and covert.
The students at Cornell recently
charged that faculty involvement with
the C.I.A. "undermines the trust neces-
sary for the survival of the academic
community and basic academic free-
doms." They also said it had a "chilling
effect" on the free expression of opinion
on campus. -
Involvement Is Opposed
The professor, Myron Rush, a specialist
in Soviet internal affairs, was invited last
summer to be a "scholar In residence"
at the C.I.A.'s headquarters in Langley,
Va. He accepted the offer last fall, in-
forming his colleagues and several of his
students, according to Dr. George H.
Quester, chairman of the government de-
partment at Cornell. Dr. Rush is currently
on leave without pay from the university
while he is with the C.I.A.
This notification was in accordance
with guidelines established last June by
the American Association of University
Professors. The guidelines call on "all
academics associated in any capacity
with a governmental agency to disclose
the nature of this association to profes-
sional colleagues, students and others
who are affected by it, as well as in publi-
cations resulting from" the association
with the agency.
The professinial group also declared its
firm opposition to any initiative by gov-
ernment agencies to involve academics in
"covert Intelligence operations under the
guise of academic research."
As word of Dr. Rush's appointment
spread, the graduate s`adents b.3came in-
creasingly disturbed. After weeks of de-
bate they approved a resolution two
weeks ago condemning any faculty In-
volvement with the C.I.A. or other organ-
ization engaging In "illegal activities."
They also urged Cornell to adopt policies
prohibiting faculty ties to such agencies.
The response to the graduate students'
resolution has not been favorable. Several
government professors have called it
"McCarthyism of the left."
Although no names were mentioned in
the resolution, the students behind it ac-
knowledge that it was Dr. Rush's involve.
ment that triggered it. In fact, they say,
his name was mentioned in an early draft
in which several students urged that he
be dismissed from the department.
The controversy at Cornell Is unusual
in that Dr. Rush has not been particularly
secretive about his role with the C.I.A.
He denies having had any ongoing rela-
tionship with the agency, as some stu-
dents fear, and defends his use of classi-
fied researci material that is unavailable
to other members of the academic world.
There are problems with using classi-
fied research, Dr Rush said, "but the solu-
tion to the problem is not willful igno-
rance." Dr. Rush Is presumed to be ana-
lyzing the question of who is likely to
succeed Leonid Brezhnev as leader of the
Soviet Communist Party, since this is his
special area of concern.

he was violating the intent of the stu-

President Corson: As a 1965 graduate of
Cornell, I am greatly concerned about
the possibility and the extent of covert
relations between the Central Intelli-
gence Agency and the university.
In its final report issued in April, the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
reported that the CIA carries on clan-
destine activities on over 100 American
campuses. The committee stated, "It is
the responsibility of private institutions
and particularly the American academic
community to set the professional and
ethical standards of its members." As an
alumnus, I call upon you as university
President to accept this responsibility
and to take action to end any secret CIA
presence on campus or otherwise under
the auspices of Cornell.
I do not know if there is currently any
such CIA activity at Cornell, but I am
aware of considerable covert cooperation
in the past. For example, the New York
Times on February 26, 1967 wrote how
the Industrial and Labor Relations
school had received $289,500 from 1961
to 1963 from foundation conduits for the
CIA. Additionally, I am aware from my
own research of considerable interlock-
ing relationships during the 1950s be-
tween a CIA proprietary organization,
the Society for the Investigation-of Hu-
man Ecology (later the Human Ecology
Fund) and the Cornell Medical school in
New York.
-The Senate Intelligence Committee
did not mention, activities as specific as
these in its report but did. reveal a wide
range of CIA operations which raise im.
portant questions as to the independence
and integrity of American universities.
For your information, I am enclosing a
copy of the relevant passages from the
Senate report, which you will note were
"abridged" at the CIA's request.
In the past, according to the report,
the CIA secretly funded individual pro-
fessors and even'whole departments to
carry out secret research and to otherwise
perform covert missions for the CIA. In
his Executive Order of February 18,
1976, President Ford gave the CIA au-
