I would be happy to request these reports for your perusal or you may want to deal with the Center directly. We at CIA also are prepared to give you in.depth briefings on the Soviet and Japanese fishing industry and other maritime matters if you feel they would be helpful.

UNCLASSIFIEO

Soviet and Japanese Whaling Operations in the Pacific

The Soviet Union and Japan, the two largest whaling nations, captured over 25,000 whales during the 1975-76 season, or about 85% of the total harvested. Using floating factory ships attended by catcher vessels and spotter aircraft, their fleets can pursue whales around the world.

The JSSR's whaling fleet ranks first in the world in size and consists cf four mother ships and approximately 90 catcher boats totaling about 175,000 GRT. It operates in the Antarctic Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean near the Aleutian, Kurile and Commander Islands. The Japanese fleet, although the second largest in the world, is only abost half the size of the Soviet fleet, consisting of three mother, ships and about 45 catcher vessels totaling close to 90,000 GRT. It too operates mostly in the Antarctic and Pacific Oceans, although coastal whaling off of Japan is also prominent.

We have no detailed information on the current location of the Soviet and Japanese whaling fleets in the Pacific. Soviet whaling operations in the Pacific Öcean -- which generally consist of two mother ships and around 20 catcher boats -- have, bowever, been traditionally concentrated in the area between Guam, the Aleutian and the Hawaiian islands between 1 May and 31 July. In August, the Pacific operations follow the migratory patterns of whales along the US west coast and Alaska. Soviet whaling in the Pacific normally ends in September or October, when the fieet returns to Soviet ports and is readied for Antarctic operations between October and May.

Japanese whaling operations are generally in the same areas of the Pacific, although its fleet is centered closer to Japan. Currently, there are an estimated 10 Japanese whaling vessels operating in the North Pacific, including one and possibly two mother ships.

Dear Mr. Ryan:

This responds to your note of August 4, 1977 forwarding a regarding certain tests he believes may have been performed on him and memters of his faroily.

The recently discovered füles of Project MKULTRA do contain evidence that research involving human testing was conducted in the fields of bebavior control using techniques involving hypnosis, drugs, etc. Our records indicate such testing on unwitting subjects ceašed in 1963. Unfortunately, neither Project MKULTRA files nor any other files thus far located contain the names of persons who may have been used as subjects. Therefore, in our search of relevant filesi wsname was not found.

Admiral Turner bas assured the Congress that the CLA will
attempt to identify those persons who were the subjects of uawitting
testing conducted under Project MKULTRA. To this end, the insti
tutions where Project MKULTRA testing took place have been notified
of their involvement with the project. Admiral Turner has offered
these institutions bis full cooperation in helping them identify the
persons who were test subjects. Please be assured I will inform
you irmediately if any institution notifies CIA that it has identified as having b-en a Project MKULTRA test subject.

Thank you for your letter of 27 September to Adriral Turner requesting confirmation or denial of the fact of CIA experiments using prisoners at the California medical facility at Vacaville.

It ia true that CIA sponsored testing, using volunteer inmates, was conducted at that facility. The project was completed in 1968. A report setting forth the details of that testing has been released to the authorities at Vacaville and to the public. It is enclosed for your information and review. Also enclosed is correspondence between our Office of General Counsel and T. L. Clanon, M.D., Superintendent of the facility. We have also included correspondence from our Information and Privacy Coordinator to Mr. Thomas K. Dalglish, Chairperson, Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects, California Department of Health. These documents, all of which are now in the public domain, will give you a clearer idea of the nature and extent of the testing, which related to learning enhancement using a well-known non-hallucinogen, magnesium pemoline,

Your letter referred to Donald DeFreese, known as CINQUE, and Clifford Jefferson, both of whom were inmates at Vacaville. In so far as our records reflect the names of the participants, there is nothing to indicate that either was in any way involved in the project. You may wish to contact the authorities at Vacaville for further irformation.

I trust you will find this information helpful. Pleace call me if you have any questions or wish additional information.
