MKUltra Subproject 24

MKULTRA Subproject 24 was a small project run directly out of the CIA Technical Services Staff Chemical Division (TSS/CD). The surviving file is almost entirely financial and covers 1953 to 1954. It centers on reimbursement of travel and related expenses tied to assigned missions for the sponsor.

A certification of expenses lists several trips with figures for round trips, cab fares, per diem, air travel, and phone calls. Examples include a July 1953 trip totaling $546.74, a 30 April 1954 trip of $86.75, and a 31 December 1954 trip of $261.81. A draft memo dated 31 August 1955 requests that the scope of Subproject 24 be increased to include expenses of $701.40 incurred for consultations, demonstrations, and training between 27 July 1954 and 8 September 1954.

The project was funded under Allotment 4-2502-10-001 with an original obligation near $2,900.00. A 7 December 1954 memo to the Chief, Finance Division asks that $25.33 be credited and that the remaining balance be returned, closing out Subproject 24. Several receipts, hotel bills, and gas station tickets survive. One Walters delivery ticket is made out to Dr. Sidney Gottlieb. Most names and the institution remain redacted.
