It is still unknown how many types of drugs were used by experimenters to drug subjects without their consent or how many people it was done to because many files or documents concerning it were destroyed in 1973. Some files are still around. Some of the documents repeated on the documents pages are excerpts not always in the order it was typed due to the length of the documents and or the topics in the excerpts.
From Page 3 of declassified Mklutra documents: "PROJECT MKULTRA, THE CIA'S PROGRAM OF RESEARCH IN BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1977
U.S. SENATE, SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE, AND SUBCOMITTEE ON HEALTH AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF THE COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RESOURGES, Washington, D.C.
Perhaps most disturbing of all was the fact that the extent of experimentation on human subjects was unknown. The records of all these activities were destroyed in January 1973, at the instruction of then CIA Director Richard Helms. ( other Mk-Ultra documents claim it was Gottlieb who ordered the documents be destoryed).
We believed that the record, incomplete as it was, was as complete as it was going to be. Then one individual, through a Freedom of Information request, accomplished what two U.S. Senate committees could not. He spurred the agency into finding additional records pertaining to the CIA's program of experimentation with human subjects. These new records were discovered by the agency in March. Their existence was not made known to the Congress until July.
The records reveal a far more extensive series of experiments than had previously been thought. Eighty-six universities or institutions were involved. NeV instances of unethical behavior were revealed. The intelligence community of this Nation, which requires a shroud of secrecy in order to operate, has a very sacred trust from the American people. The CIA's program of human experimentation of the fifties and sixties violated that trust. It was violated again on the day the bulk of the agency's records were destroyed in 1973. It is violated each time a responsible official refuses to recollect the details of the program. The best safeguard against abuses in the future is a complete public accounting of the abuses of the past." end of quote from Mkultra documents released under the freedom of information act. documents continued next page.
