The report of audit dated 17-June 1955 prepared by Mr. afiirilificovering Project MKULTRA for the period 15 January 1954 through 30 April 1955, recommended in connection with subproject 30 as follows: It is suggested that this project be placed on a revolving fund basis, i. e., establish a fixed amount of about $500,00 or any other amount that will meet the needs of the project for- a reasonable periocl-of time and reimburse the fund on the basis of accountings submitted at-least quarterly.� The fixed amount may be increased or decreased as the need demands and will be recorded on the books of the-Finance DiVision as an Imprest Fund. The same certification should be used for reimbursing the imprest fund as is now authorized by the MKULTRA plan. Charges to expense would be made only on the basis of an accounting properly approved and the accountings would remain in the MKULTRA files of TSS._This-poposed revision will permit more accurate distribution of expenses to the proper fiscal year and will require approval by operating officials prior to reimbursing the fund for expenditures made." 2. It is my understanding that correspondence with Deputy Chief, Finance Divisionhas led to the conclusion that any Imprest Fund reported on-the books of the Finance Division as such is subject to rules and regulations which are not compatible with the procedures approved by the DCI under which MKULTRA is handled. Imprest Fund regulations apparently require that expenses and accountings be forwarded to Finance Division when reimbursement is requested. The security maintained for MKULTRA is such that it is not feasible to forward to the Finance Division a list of items purchased under this project since the nature of these items and the reasons for their purchase (particularly the occasional destruction of what would normally be considered unexpendable equipment) would dis- close too much of the nature of the sensitive work being handled under MKULTRA, 3. For this reason I believe it will be satisfactory to continue with subproject 30 and convert it to an Imprest Fund rather than terminate it and establish a new subproject 50 as an Imprest Fund. This will re- sult in our following all, of the recommendations in Mr. report A with the sole exception that subproject 30 will not be recorded on the books of the Finance Division as an Tmprest Fund. A 4. I understand that Majo as recently returned with a complete detailed list of recent expenditures under this subproject. It is my sug- gestion that these evidences of expenditures be placed in your files and that you determine the exact cash on hand. With this figure in mind, I suggest that you obligate under subproject 30 the exact sum required which, when added to the cash on handwill bring your total cash funds to $1,000. One thousand dollars is the sum which I believe you have determined to be necessary under this project rather than the amount of $500.00 mentioned as an example by Mr. A 5. When this additional obligation is on hand and you have exactly $1,000 in cash, you should operate the project as an Imprest Fund, a. e. , future reimbursements should be made at least quarterly and in an amount exactly equal to the new accumulation of vouchers which thus result in in the project's funds being brought back to precisely $1, 000 each time it is replenished. Care should be taken to replenish the fund and bring it back -- to $1, 000 toward the end of each Fiscal Year so that expenses incurred during a particular Fiscal Year will be covered by that FY's funds. As mentioned in Mr report, charges to expense would thus be made only on the basis of in accounting properlyt, -and-the accountings would remain in the MKULTRA files of TSS. If your quarterly accountings coincide with the end of a Fiscal Year, I believe that th's will also satisfy Mr � in that reimbursements will be made to the project with FY funds corresponding to the FY in which the expenses were incurred; and of course, approval of operating officials will have been obtained prior to reimbursement to the project for these expenditures. 6. You might discuss this with Mr. the next time he is in your office. Steps should also be taken if necessary to cancel subproject 50 and the sum of $500.00 which Mr. VOrrnay show on his books as obligated.

This memorandum is written to record the purpose of Sub- project 50, t1"..3 reasons for establishing it, and the mechanics by which it will be aAmenistered. 2. The.jbove subproject has been created to continue the support to IPIDivision, which was previously furnished by Subprojects 13 and 30. Si" apport will be over and above the yearly financial support of Project MKNAOMI and will fall into two categories: (1) the purchase of certain materials, supplies and equipment where the use of other-funds would cause either excessive delay in operations or undue security hazards; and (2) the support of activities in-which Agency sponsorship makes it /- difficult for Division to obtain financial support from normal sources since ose sources require an undesirable amount of justi- fication. 3. The subproject has been created at the sp ciao request of Mr. and with the approval of General in order to rr correct undesirable administrative procedures evi ent in the handling ' of Subprojects 13 and 30. - 4. This subproject will be handled as an imprest fund with an initial grant of $500.00. As expenses are incurred and upon presentation of vouchered proof of expenditure, _subsequent grants will be made in the amounts expended. The cash on hand and/or receipts of expenditure will total $500.00 at all times. In- structions to the Fund Custodian are-attached. 5. This is a continuing project with no specific amount earmarked per unit time. �Budget estimates will�be based on ex- perience in Subprojects 13 and 30. 6. Subproject 30 will b�eplosed out and cash on hand will be returned to Finance on receipt of the initial $500,00 grant.

The purpose of subproject 50 is to continue to provide the support previously furnished to the under sub- project 30. Support will be furnished to certain TSS/CD activities carried out by the or in conjunction with the Cr- 2. In accordance with the suggestion made by Mr. in his memorandum dated 17 June 1955 which was approved by Gen this project is being set up as an imprest petty cash fund with an initial grant of $500.00. From time to time as these funds are depleted, reimbursement will be requested, acc ompanied by vouchered proof of expenditures by the using agency in accordance with the written agreement between that agency and TSS/CD. 3. The support will primarily fall in two general categories:. one, the purchase of certain materials, supplies and equipment where the use by the of other funds would either delay operations excessively or result in security problems in view of the peculiar nature of the items to,be 6-- purchased; and two, activities where the unusual security considerations_ ---- - surrounding Agency sponsorship of th make it difficult for th #10160114 to obtain financial support from customary sources since such 3 n-xt- c es would require an undesirable amount of written or oral justification. Suis2--:�oject 50 funds will thus be used to pay for purchase of unusual supplies, materials and equipment a, well as for occasional unusual services, travel., expenses and honoraria. 4. A-i soon as the initial $500.00 under_subproject 50 has been made available to t:le SO Division, 5ubpr3ject 30 will be closed out and any unspent balance reto.1-rid to the Agency.
