MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, CIA Management Committee

SUBJECT: Potentially Embarrassing Agency Activities

The Office of the Inspector General has records on the
following sensitive subjects that either have been or might in
the future be the source of embarrassment to the Agency.

The report of the Board of Inquiry in the case of Hans Torte.
The Torte affair was fully exposed in public, of course, but
the report itself is closely held within the Agency. This
office was designated as the-custodian of the report, and we
have the only surviving copy.

An annex to the Inspector General's report of survey of the
Technical Services Division done in 1953. The annex deals
with experiments in influencing human behavior through the
administration of mind or personality altering drugs to
unwitting subjects.

An Inspector General report of investigation of allegations
that the Agency was instrumental in bringing about the
assassination of President Diem. The allegations were
determined to be without foundation.

An Inspector General report of investigation of allegations
that the Agency was instrumental in bringing about the
assassination of President Trujillo. The investigation
disclosed quite extensive Agency involvement with the
plotters.

An Inspector General report of investigation of allegations
that the Agency conspired to assassinate Fidel Castro. The
story first appeared in Drew Pearson's column and has since
appeared in Jack Anderson's column. While the columns
contained many factual errors, the allegations are basically
true.
