3. kel' On the basis of the review of its inactive records,
the Directorate of Operations believes there is no unidentified
drug project buried in its archives. There may, however, be a
few miscellaneous papers referring to drug testing projects which
will be turned up in the files of the Office of the DDO. In the
case of active records, the Directorate believes that the searches
made by DO div.isions and staffs have uncovered all files on the
drug testing 2rogram. There may, however, be a few documents in
operations files which pertain to the topic. Such documents
would not be found however without a document-by-document review
of the files; about 33,000 cubic feet. Such a massive effort
could be expected to uncover little that has not already been dis-
covered through previous searches.
4. fee As a footnote to this memorandum, at the request
'of the DDA the information Management Staff is presently searching
DO records for information pertaining to Opersons known to have. -
been involved in MKULTRA research. This is part of the Agency's
current effort to identify persons who may have had drugs
administered to them.'
