LIAISON Walt Sheridan, staff member,
Senate Judiciary Committee who has conducted investigative staff work
concerning the Agency's drug human experimentation activities on behalf
of Chairman Edward M. Kennedy's (D., Mass.) Senate Human Resources
Subcommittee on Health and Scientific Research, called and requested that
another member of the Subcommittee staff, Jim Michie, be granted
clearances for access to review the MKULTRA documents on human
experimentation. I called DCI Security Officer_ and at 25X1
riffs initiation, a clearance through Secret was processed and granted by
the Office of Security. I later called Sheridan's office and, in his absence,
left a message for him and Michie that Michie had been granted a clearance
through Secret for access to the MKULTRA documents.

13. I LIAISON Met with Sy Shwiller,
House Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence and Military Application
of Nuclear Energy staff, in response to his earlier call to Mr. Cary.
Shwiller asked if we knew where the Subcommittee can contact Mr. Pipes,
who had prepared the B Team Report on NIE 11/3-8. I told Shwiller that he
probably can be contacted through Harvard University. However, since
Shwiller was aware that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is going
to be talking to Pipes, I suggested that he contact Bill Miller, Staff Director25X1
of the Select Committee, and he could probably tell him where Pipes can be
contacted.
