MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: Review of Project File

1. At the request of D/MS I reviewed the Project file which had been maintained and held by D/MS. The request stems from an earlier requirement from senior Agency Official for information on this Project.

2. The purpose of my review was to select for reproduction documents from the file which would be representative of the file and which would show development and direction of the Project. This I have done and a group of documents have been reproduced and assembled. These will be forwarded to the Inspector General through a senior Agency Official.A copy of those items forwarded will be maintained in a separate file by D/MS.

SUBJECT: Request from Agency Official, for Information on Project File

1. On 28 January 1975 at the close of the regular
morning staff meeting, senior Agency Official kept the group to
them on Mr. Colby's meeting with the Rockefeller Commission
on 27 January 1975. At the conclusion of that briefing he
handed out a list of questions for information. As I under
stood it these were questions that had come out of Mr. Colby's
meeting the previous day with the Commission. One of the
questions centered aroundthe Project. The responses
were to be in by close of business 28 January 1975. On
returning to the office I gave the list of questions to.ONs
Officer and asked him to contact those people in the office he
needed to in order to compose a reply and instructed him
specifically to contactan Agency Physician, +Lon the Project or any sinilar projects. I told ONS Official
that I remembered participating in  sometime
during my assignmont in a in a so-called
Project activity and I stated that to the best of my recollection two Security officers and a Psychiatric Staff consultant visited Gexmany·for the purpose of using this technique on a foreign
national of interest to the Agency. I advised him that I had no other knowledge of this Project. This report of mine was
included in the summary we prepared and forwarded to a senior Agency Officialon 28 January 1975. OMS Officer could find no doc
umentation referring to anyone else in the office having
knowledge of the Project and it was so stated.

that had not been looked at and this was Dr. e 1 private safe. Dr. was then on TDY inn and was not due to return to duty until 3 February l975. Some consideration was given to opening that safe by

Dr. secretary, who had the combination to it. However, that step was not undertaken and senior Agency was aware of that and he expressed his willingness to wait for D/MS to return to duty before pursuing this matter further.

3. On 3 February 1975 on Dr. s return to duty, I briefed him on this matter and shortly thereafter he advised me that he had a file on the Project which had been in his private safe. He stated that he had scanned it but had not read it fully and he wanted me to see the file and know of its existence for two reasons. Firstly, that as ONS Officer, I should know about it and secondly there is material in it that confirmed my participation in one effort by the so-called Project team in in 1954. I went through the file and later told him that this is the first time I was aware of the existence of the file and secondly it vas the first time that I was aware of and had read a report on this particular Project I participated in. He asked me to go through the file again identifying those documents which gave indication of the development and the history of the Project.This I have done and have paperclipped those documents I thought to be pertinent. He then called ior Agency Official in my presence and.advised hin that he had found some data on the Project. Senior Agency .Official invited him to his office immediately for further discussion.
