MEMORANDUM TO Executive Secretary
CIA Management Committee
SUBJECT Drug Testing Program
1, The attached summary from ORD describes research
into a4Ohavioral drug. Convwations withiladDuckOt
indicate that the reported drug was part of a larger program
in which
xkmxiatx the Agency had relations with -commercial drug manufacturers,
whereby they passed on drugs rejected because of unfavorable side
effects. The drugs were screened with the use of ADP equipment,
and those selected for experimentation were tested at
using monkeys and mice. Materials
having
mg/further interest, as demonstrated by this testing, were then
tested at Edgewood, using volunteer members of the Armed Forces,,
2. The program was terminated last fall. The computer program
remains in the machine, its final disposition not yet having been
decided.
3. Carl Duckett emphasizes that the program was considered
as defensive, in the sense that we would be able to recognize
certain behavior if similar materials were used against Americans�
