SUnxCT: Summary e! Iagocto: Genorals Roport of Inspection oXLüULTRA

1. TSD, thzough its MKULTRA mechanism, has invested.an average of approximately: /per year since 1953 chieflyin the research, developmept, and supply of cherical, biological, and other materials useful in the control of hmman behavior in clandustine operations, The principal end uses of these materials include a) harrassment agents, e.g. for disrupiing meetings; b) disabling agents and drugs used in conjuaction with psychological techniques in xocruitrient,. countermeasures, and interrogation; and c) The Oporitional use of the latter teo catesories is tiguly controlled in the DD/? unJer CSI No. 2Z0-10, MKDELTA MATERLALS.

\- 2. Many phases of the rescarch in the control of human behavior invelve a high degrec of sensitivity. The prcfessionel reputations of. outside rèsearchers are in jeopardy since ths objectives of such rcscarch are widoly regarded as anti-ethical or ilsgal. Disclosure of American capablities in the use of such matexials could escalate their. application by coipeting inteiligence serviccs. There was evidence available.of the use of these materials by other services and thc surveyrecommends that

3. The inspection of MKULTRA indicated that most projects are .conceived znd administered with a minimum of papçrwork and procedur The scarch for new materials and the successive stages of testing of their effects on animals and on volunteer humans underlaboratory condi tions is performed according to professional standards.:· A final-stage of testing involving the application of materials to unwitting Amcrican citizens involves physical risk for thc individuals and substantial sccurit risk to CLA.

4. The principal conclusions of the inspection are that the operational controls over MKULTRA need strengthening: improvements are needed in the administration of the research projects; the final testing of substances under simalated operating tonditions is judged to involve excessive risk to. the Agency. This report, accordingly, carries rccommendations for the revision of the MKULTRA charter in the light.of ten. years of operating experience and of the inspection findings. It specifical recormends the termination of testing of substances on unwitting Amneric subjects,
