Two books, 'The Search for the Manchurian Candidate' and 'Acid Dreams'.
Also discussed in several of JC Lilly's books. And there is some
interesting documentation in the book 'Documents' from the Center for
National Security Studies. Also recent article in New York Times about
Dr. Cameron. And Tim Leary knows a lot about this. He lives in LA; the
number is listed. Tell him I said 'high' :)

Anyone know if Owsley (sp?) is still alive?

Also I think Abbie Hoffman mentions that he was first turned onto acid
by the Company; maybe this is in 'Soon to be a Major Motion Picture."

You might also try calling Gen. Kalugin in Moscow.

A general reference: 'LSD, My Problem Child" by Albert Hoffman
(no relation to Abbie).

I believe Fletcher Prouty might also be able to help you.

The admission of LSD use is a limited hangout for this project; its the
part of the project that *did NOT* produce desired results.

This is a very interesting thread to follow because it leads into so
many wild and interesting things so fast.

Let us know what you turn up!

		REPORT OF INSPECTION OF MKULTRA/TSD

I. Introduction

	1. Technical Services Division (TSD), (then Technical Support
Staff), received authorization from the then Director of Central
Intelligence, Mr. Allen W. Dulles, on 3 April 1953 to develop and maintain
continuing operational capabilities in the filed of a)

				.....5.....				and

b) chemical and biological materials capable of producing human behavioral
and physiological changes, (see Tab A). The cryptonym MKULTRA was assigned
to encompass TSD's research, development and equipment activities in these
two fields. The cryptonym MKDELTA has already been assigned by DD/P Notice
No. 220-1 on 20 October 1952 (since revised--see Tab B) as the indicator
covering DD/P policy and procedure for the use of biochemicals in
clandestine operations.
	2. The MKULTRA charter provides only a brief representation of the
rational of the authorized activities. The sensitive aspects of the program
as it has evolved over the ensuing ten years are the following:
	a. Research in the manipulation of human behavior is considered
by many authorities in medicine and related fi to be professionally
unethical, therefore the reputations of professional participants in the
MKULTRA program are on occasion in jeopardy.
	b.

				.....6.....

	c. A final phase of the testing of MKULTRA products places the
rights and interests of U.S. citizens in jeopardy.
	d. Public disclosure of some aspect of MKULTRA activity could induce
serious adverse reaction in the U.S. public opinion, as well as stimulate
offensive and defensive action inthis field on the part of foreign 
intelligence services.
	3. In recognition of the sensitivity of MKULTRA, TSD was
authorized exclusive control of the administration, records, and financial
accountings of the program. Simple statements of certification were all
that were required of TSD to obtain advances of funds from Finance
Division. The DCI's memorandum also exempted MKULTRA from audit, but this
provision was modified to permit limited audit before the end of the first
year. Funding of MKULTRA was eventually stabilized at .....7..... of
TSD's annual research and development budget. It has fallen in the
neighborhood of .....8..... per year over the ten-year history of the
program. .....9.....

"Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes
 down smoothly. At the last it bites like serpent and stings like an 
 adder. Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind utter perverse
 things. You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like
 one who lies on the top of a mast.

"'They struck me,' you will say, 'but I was not hurt; they beat me, but
 I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I will seek another drink.'"
