Dear Mr. Fascell:
OLC 78-0927/.a
21 MAR 1978
Thank you for your note of 2 March 1978 to Admiral
Turner on behalf of-your constituent
who wants to find out if he was programmed by the CIA to commit
assassinations as described in the New York Times News Service
article.
Enclosed is a copy of the CIA document which. was released
under the.Freedom'of Information Act which pertains to "*STAT
query.. As you can see from the document, the
operation never materialized and was, in fact, an evaluation of
a hypothetical problem. I I name was traced through. ?f
these Operation ARTICHOK z es an a results were negative.
As you.may recall, in September of last year,
believed. he was an unwitting victim of CIA's behavior contro
testing in Project MKULTRA. As we explained in our previous
letter to you of 30. September 1977, the Project MKULTRA files
do not contain.the names of persons who may hav& been used as
subjects.
I have also been advised by Mr. Gene F. Wilson our
Information and Privacy Coordinator, that urrentiy STAT
has a Privacy Act appeal pending with the CIA. I have been
advised by Mr..Wilson that none of the documents involved in this
appeal case indicate that was an unwitting victim STAT
of CIA drug experiments, or was programmed by the CIA to commit-
assassinations.
Despitel protestations, we are unable to
locate any information a would substantiate his claims.
If I can be of any further assistance, please let me
know. As you requested, we are returning the enclosure.
Sincerely,
Acting Legislative ounsel
