Under its mandalt: ' the Select Committee has st udicd the test ing and

Fears that countries hostile to the United States 'twould use chemi-

cal and biological agents against Americans or Americas allies Jed

to the d<'veU'pii>en! of a defensive progrojn de^igni-d to discover tech-

niques for American intelligence agencies to detect and counteract

chemical and biological ajrenis. The defensive onentation soon became

secondary as tlic pos-^ibU- use of ihes*" agent:? to obtain information

telligence agencies administering them- Few people, even within the

agencies, kne^r of the programs and there is no evidence that either

the executive branch or Congrcr^s were ever informed of them. Ihe

highlv companmented nature of these programs mav be explained in

part tv an observation made bv the CIA Inspector General that, the

TJie de^ithsof t^o Americans " can be attributed to tirL=e programs; other partici-pant? in the testing pro^i-auis may stilJ suffer from the residual ef^fe^'ts.

TJa- Select Committee s investigation of tlie testing and use of chem-ical and biological agents also raise serious questions about the ade-quatv of command and conirol procedures within the Central Intelli-gence Agency and military intelligence, and about the relationshipsamong the intelligence a^ncies. other governmental agencies, andprivate insi irut jon-^ and individuals. The CIA s normal adininistrativecontrols were waived for programs involving chemical and biologicalagentF tn project. fhcir security. According to the head of the AuditBranch -n the ClA. thes*> waivers produced "gross administrativefailures." They pr^ , -led ihe CIA's internal review mechanisms (theOfik^e of General Ci/..i5ch the Inspector General, and the Audit Staff)fron* adefinrtU 1> suprrvisinp the projrram>. In general, the waivers hadthe paradoxiciil effvt of i>ro\idJnp lesf resirieiivr administrative con-trols and les-^ effmive internal review for controveijsiai and higlilyscjisitiu' proj*^ct&i}i:in tlin^c governing normal Agonev activities.

Tl»e security of the programs was protected not onlv by waiversof norm:il iidnniiistrative cnntrol?. but also hv a liigli Se'-Tf^v of com-panmentntion within the CIA. This compartmenlation excluded theCIA s Medical Staff from the principal research and testhjg programemploying chemical and biological agents.

It also may have led to agencv policymakers receiving differingand inconsiMcnt resr»onscs when they posed questions to the CIAcompnneni involved,

Sst^ms. Bt this Agreement, CIA flcauired the knowled^, skill, andcililies oJ the Army to develop biological weapons suited for CIA

use.

SOD develo|>ed dnri^ coated with biolojpcal agents and pills con-taining several diiVrent biological agentft which could remain potentfor weeks or niontlis. SOD also develoi»fd a sneci&l giin for firingdarls coated with a chemical which could allow CIA agents to incapaci-tate a guard dog, enter an installation srcictly, and return the dog toconsciousness when leaving. SOD scientists were unnble to developa siniiiar incapncitant for human*;. SOD alwi physKalJy tranEferredto CIA personnel biologi<al agent- in "bulk"* form, and deliverydevices, including some containing biological agents.

In addition lo the CIAs interest in biological weapons for useagninst humans, it also asked SOD to study use of biological agentsagainst crops and animals. In its 1967 memorandum, the CIA stated:

Three methods and systems for carrying out a covert attackagainst crops and causing severe cmp k>=s have been devel-oped antl evaluated under field condition?. This was accom-plished in anticipation of a requirement which was laterdeveloped but was subsequently scrubU;d just prior to put-ting into action.**

• MKyAOMI was terminated in 1070, On November 2ft. l?r.p. Presi-dent Nixon renounced ilie use of any form of Ijjological weapons thatkill or incapariiaie and onlrri'd the di>|w>al of existing stocks of bac-teriological weapojis. OnKcbruarv 14. 1070, the President clarified theeiievif of his enijicr order and indicated that toxins—chemicals thatan- not living organisms hut are produred bv living organisms—wereconf^idered biological weajions suhjpct lo hi<= previous directive andwere to be destroyed. Although instructed to relinquish control ofmaterial held for the CIA by SOT), n CIA scientist acquired approxi-matply 11 grams of shpllfi^h toxin from SOD personnel at Fort De-trick which were stored in a littleusrd CIA laboratorv where it wentundetected for five years.**

to the special Oi)enilion5 Division (SOD) of the U.S. Army Biolog-

ical Center at Camp Detrlck, Maryland. Tiii^ Division tiad three

primary" functions:

(1) assessing the vulnerability of American installations

to biological o-ttack

;

(2) developing techniques for offensive use of biological

weapons; and(3) biological research for the CI A."=

Professionally, Olson was well respected by his colleagues in boththe Army and ihc CIA. Colonel Vincciit Huwet, Olson's immediatesuperior at Hil' tiini- of hi^ diuth. wfia in almost diiily contact withOlron. According; to Colonel Hmvot : *'As a professional man . . . hisability . » . was oul^tiUidi^g." Colonul Kuwet stated that '^duringthe peiio<l prior to the e\i>erin>cfH ... I noticed nothing whichwoulcl lead mv to "believe that he was of un*iound mind." " Dr. Lash'broolc, who had monthly conlaots with Olson from early 1^52 until

thi- time of his death, staled publicly that before Olson received LSD,'Sis far as I know, he was piTfectly normal." " Thi* assessment is indirect contradiction to certain statements evaluating Olsons emo-tional stability made in CIA internal memoranda written afterOlson's death.

b. Thi: Ejinfinii tit,—On Noveniber 18. 19j3, a proup of ten scien-

tists from the CIA ami Camp IX'trick otteniled a semi-annual reviewand analysis conferenci- at a cabin located at Deep Creek Lake, Mary-land. TJiree of the paMicipanis were from the ClA 6 Technical Serv-ices Staff. The Detrick representatives wen' all from the SpecialOperations Division.

Acconling to one CIA official, the Special Operations Divisionparticipants "a^neeil that an unwitting experiment would bedesirable." '^ This account directly conliadicts Vincent Ruwets recol-lection. Ruwet recalls no such dif^i'ussion- and has asserted that hewould remember any such <li^cussiorl Wause the SOD participantswould have si i-enuouFly objectefl to te>iinc on unwitting subjects- '^

In May. VXCK, Richard Helm?, .Vs^istant DDP. held a staff meepnpwhich the Chief of Technical St^rviccs Staff nltended. At this meetingHolms "Jndicateii that the ilni;: [LSD] was dynamite an<l that heshonlil be advisej at all times when it was intended to use it."" Inafldiiion, the theji DDP, Frank Wisner, sent a memorandum to TSSstatinp the requirement that the DDI' [K-rsonally approve the use ofLSD. Gottlieb went ahead with the ex|K?rimcnt," securing the ap-

even less concern tlian did the OI-SON experiment for tlie safety and

continued until 1063.*', , , . , u* ^*i--.

In tin- projert. the individual conducting the test might make

initial contact wiili a prospective subject selected at random in a bar.

He would then invite the person to a ^^safdiouse where the test drug

was adininisttrvd to the subject iluouph dnnk or in food. CIA per-

sonncl micht debrief the individual conductmg the test, or observe

the test by using a one-way mirror and tape recorder m an adjoining

'^Vior consent t\tis obviouslv not obtained from any of the subjects.

Tli»>rv was also, obviouslv, no me^lical prescreening. In a<KlUion the

tosts wer-e conducted by individuals who were not miahhed scientihc

obser\>rs. There were no medical peisonnel on hand either to a<lmm-

istcr tlic dr^p> or to obsene their elTecls, and no follow-up was con

ducted on t lie test subjects.

As t lit? Insi>e' tor General noted in 1963:

A sipnificant limitation on Uie effectiveness of such testing is

the infeasibilitv of perfonniii^: scientific obs»'rvation of re-

suh,^. The [indinduuls t'ondurtinp the te^] are not (iiialific^I

sruntific observers. Their subjects are seldom accessible be-

yond the first hours of the test. The testni? mav l>c useful in

perfecting deliverv techniques, and in idenufvinjr surface

chnracteristics of onset, reaction, attribution, and side-effect."

This was particularly troublesome as in a

numUr of instances the (est subject ha? become ill for

hours or davs, incliidinp hospit^ilization in at least one case.

and the api-nt could only follow up by guarded inquiry

Moreover, the admiiustration «l)roa<l was marked by constant obser-

prisoncra of foreign intelligence or security organizations. FmaUy,

during certain of the LSU int*rroca*ions abroad, local physicians

were on call, though these physicians had had no experience with LSDand would not be trfd tli at* hallucinogens had been administered.**

The CIAs project involving ihe surreptitious administration of

LSD to untitling human subjects in the United States was finally

hahed in 19U3. as a result of its discovery dunnp the course of an

liwpt^oloi- General survey of the Technit^al Services Division. Wh^nthe Inspeiioi Geneitl leuriie<l of tliu project, he sp<^e to the Deputy

Director for Plans, who agreed thai the Director should be briefed.

The DDP made it clear that the DCI and his Deputy were pejierally

familiar with MKfLTKA, He indicated, however, that he was not

sun' it was necessiiry to brief the DDCl at that point.

On Mav 24, ll»0:Mhe DI >r advised the Inspector General that he had

briefed the Director on tl^c MKI'LTKA program and in particular

had covered the question of the surreptitious administration of LSDfounwittinp Imniau suljjects. According to the Inspector General, the

DDPsiiid that "the Director indicated no disagreement and therefore

the *testinp' will continue/'"One conv of an "Eves Only" draft report on MKl LTKA was

prepared bv tlio lii^penor (ieneral who recommended the termination

of the surreptitious administ rut ion project. The project was suspended

The unauthorized retention of sliellfislj lo\in b^- Dr, Nathan Gordonand his subordinates, in violation of a Presidential Directive, may haveresuh4?d from the failureof the Director to issue written instruct ions toAgency ofTicinls. TJie retention was not authorized by senior officials int)it Agency. The Dirt-rior, Mr. Helms, hau instructed Mr Karnmes-sines. the "Dcj) »ty Director of PJahs, and Dr, (iottlieh^ the Chief ofTecluiical Servjc^^^ Division, to relinquish control to the Amiy of anychcniica] or biolo^rical ai-pnls U^inp retained for the CIA at Fort De-trick. Dr. Gottlieb pas^'d this instnjciion on to Dr. Gordon, Wliileorders may he disre^ardrd in any orpinization. one of the reasons thatDr. Gordon used to defend the rclenl ron was the fact that he Jiad notreceived rt-riften i)isl ructions forltiddin^ it.*'

In some situntions the existence of written instructions did not pre-vent unautliorized art ions.

Theexperinient involving Dr. 0]s4>n wont ahead without notification ofeither Mr. Wir^ner or Mr. Helms. Tlie absence of clear and immediatepunishment for that a^t must undercut the force of other inleiTial in-

structions and re;:u^iiions.

One last issue musi In* raised about authorization procedures withinthe Apency. Chemical ajrents wert used abroad until 1P59 for dis-crediting' or dis^ihlin-: o|>.^mti'>ns, or for the purpose of interrogationswith the apj^roval of the Chief of O|)eration*i of the DDP. Later theapproval of thp Deputy Dirertor for Plans was required for suchoperations. Althonph the medical staff sought to be part of the ap-ijroval proccs:; for these Oj>eralions. they were excluded because, as thenspccior General wrote in 1057 :

Operational deienninations are the resiKinsibility of theDD, P and it is he who should advise the DCl in theserespects, just as it is he who is responsible for the results. Itis completely unrealistic to consider assi^minp to the Cliief,Medical St:iK. (what, in effect, would l>e authority over clun-divsiine oi^eration;;.)'"

Given the rxpertiso and traininf; of phvsicians, participation of theMedical Stall mipht w**!! have been u^i^fuh

Questions about auFfmrizJition also exist in rejjard to lliosr ajrcncieswhich assistcil the CLV, For instance, the project involving the sur-reptitious administration of L.'<D to unwitlinc non-volun(oer humanEubiects was conducted in coordination with tne Bureau of Narcoticsand Dangerous Drujis. Thei-e is some question as to the Conunissionerof Narcotics' knowledge about the project,

menls with LbD on humans in 1955 and had administered the drugto over 1,000 volunteers, the "background'' section of the studyconcluded:

Jijere lias not been a single case of residual ill effect. Studyof Iho prolific scientific literature on LSD-25 and personalcommunication between US Army Chemical Corps person-nel and other researchers in this field have failed to discloseaij authenticated instance of irreversible change being pro-duced in normal humans by the drug."*

This conclusion was reached despite an awareness that ther© wereinherent mHlcal dangers in such experimentation. In the body of this&inie study it is noted that

:

The view has been expressed that EA 1729 is a potentiallydangerous dru^, whose pharmaceutical actions are not fullyundi-rstood and there hus been cited the possibilitv of theronfinuance of a chemically induced psychosis in' chronicform, particularly if a latent schizophrenic were ft subject,with consef^iient claim or representation against the IJ.S.Government.^^*

An attempt was made 1o minimize potential medical haiards by care-ful selection of snhjecis prior to field tests. Rejecting evidence thatthe drug might be haznrdous, the study continued:

The claim of possible permanent damage caused bv EA 17''>9

IS an unproven hvpothosi<i based on the characteristic effectof the matenol. While the added stress of a real situationmay increase the probability of permanent adverse effect,the resulting rixXr tJt ^^frned to br nUght hy the mediral re-9tnrrh pentonnfT of tht ChemirtrJ JVarf^rr L/ihor{7t<nir.9, Toprevent even such a slight risk, the proposed plan for fieldexperimentation calls for overt, if pofssiWe, or contrived-througli ruse, if necessary, phvsiral and mental examinationof nnv real situation subject prior to employment of thesubject."*

This conrlusion was drawn six years after one denth had occnrrvdwliirh could be attributed, at least in part, to the rffects of thevety dniir the Army was proposing to field test.

Under these provisions, a volunteer expcriencine aftereffects of the lestmi^t have been unable to seek immediate medical assistance.This disrepird for the well-being of subjects drug testing is in-

excusable. Further, the absence oi any comprehensive long-termmedical assistance for the subjects of these experiments is not onlyunscientific ; it is also unprofessional

4. Lack of Xormal Aut?u>rixatwn OTid Supervision

It is apparent from documents supplied to the Committee that theArmy^s testing programs often operated under informal and nonrou^tine authorization. Potentially dangerous operations such is thesetesting programs are the very projects ichich ought to be subject tothe closest internal scrutiny at the highest levels of the military com-mand structure. There are numerous examples of inadequate review,partial consideration, and incomplete approval in the administrationof these programs.When the first Army prograin to use LSD on American soldiers in

''field stations" was authorized in May ll'a,'^, the Army violated its

own procedures in obtaining approval. Under Army Chief of StaffMemorandiiMk 38J, such proj>osals were to be peisonally approved bythe Secretary of (ho Anny. Ahliough tlie plan was submitted to himon April iiO, IOjG, the Sitreiary issued no wrillen authorization forthe project, and there is no evidence that he either reviewed or np-prov*'cl the plan.

*

The two projects involving the operational uae of LSD (THIRDCHANXE and DERBY HAT) were apparently approved by theArmy Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (General WilJems) onDecember 7» 1960.'~ This verbal approval came in the course of abriefing on previous drug programs and on the planned field experi-mentation. There is no record of written approval being issued by theACS! to authorize these specific projects until January 1961. andthere is no record of any specific knowledge or approval by the Secre<tarj' of the Army.On Febninry 4, 1963, Major General C, F. Leonard, Army ACSI,

for\iai-ded a copy of the THIRD CHANCE Trip Report to ArmyChief of Staff, Genernl Earl AVheeler. ^" Wheeler had apparentlyrequested a copy on February 2. The report was routed through a Gen-eral Hamlett. "While this report included background on the originsof the LSD tests, it appears that General Wheeler may only have readthe conclusion and I'ecommendations,"' The office memorandumnccompanyinc the Trip Report bears Wheeler 5 initials,'"

5. Termination of Tenting

On April 10, 1963, a briefing was held in the ACSI's office on theresults of Projects THIRD CHANCE and DERBY HAT BothSPTs concluded that more field testing was required before LSDcould be utilized as an integral aid to counterintelligence interroga-tions. During the presentation of the DERBY HAT results. GeneralLeonard (Deputy ACSI) directed that no further field testing beundertaken."' After this meeting the ACSI sent a letter to the Com-manding General of the Army Combat Developments Command(CDC) requesting that he review THIRD CHAXCE and DERBYHAT and ''make a net evaluaticm concerning the adoption of EA 1729for future use as an efff'Ctive and profitJibJe aid in counterintelligencemteiTopitions." *>' On the same dav the ACSI requested that the CDCCommander revise regulation FM 30-17 to read in part

:

• , . in no instance will drugs be used as an aid to interro-gations in counterintelligence or security operations withoutprior permission of the Department of the Army. Requeststousedrupsasan investigative aid will be forwarded throughinleni;:.'nce chniinels to the OACSI, DA, for approval. , , .

Mcdic^tl research has established that information obtainedthrough tl»p use of these drugs is unreliable and invalid. _ _

,

It is considered that DA [Army] approval must be a pre-requisite for use of such drugs because, of the moral, legal,medical and political problems inherent in their use for intel-ligence purposes.'"

Cooperation l»etwet»n the intelligence agencies and orjranizations in

foivipn eonntrie:^ was not limited to relationship- willi the intelligence

or inN-rnal security orgnnizations. Some MKVLTRA research was

conducted abroad. \Vhile this is, in itself, not a questionable practice,

it is important that such res<*arch abroad not 1)0 undertaken to evade

AiiH'rican laws. That this was a possibility is suggested by an ARTI-CHOKK inemorandujh in which it is noted thai working with the

T.ll1^\ "'» -e hasten to add th«t I « persuaded that there was noprevious Utempt to conceal this Mterlal In the original T975exploration.

" The ««ter1al recently discovered was in the retiredarchives filed under financial accounts and only uncovered by usingextraordinary and extensive search efforts. In this connection,incidentally, I have personally comended the cnployec «fkose diligenceproduced this find.

Because the ne« niterial nm on hand Is prlrnirily of a financialrtature. It does not present a complete picture of the field of druoewH«ntal1or, activity but It does provide mre detail than waspreviously available to us. For exa>ple. the foHo-ing types ofactivities were undcruken:

a. Possible additional cases of drugs being tested onAnerican citizens, without their knowledge.

b. Research h«s undertaJtcn on surreptitious evthods ofadministering drugs-

c. Some of the persons chosen for expertiwntation weredrug addicts or alcoholics.

d. Research Into the development of a knockout or 'K*drug rias performed In conjunction with being &>nt todevelop pain killers for advanced cancer patients, and testson such patients were carried out.
