MKUltra Subproject 75

MKUltra Subproject 75 provided funding to support publication costs for a symposium on psychochemical research between 1961 and 1963. The subproject allocated $2,650.00 to an unnamed researcher (identified as an unclassified consultant of TSD/Research Branch with expertise in psychochemicals including LSD, Psilocybine, and Mescaline). The grant was approved in October 1961 under the authority of memoranda dated 13 April 1953 from the Department of Defense to the Defense Department. A 4 percent service charge was added, bringing the total project cost to $2,756.00. Charges were billed to allotment 2125-1390-3902. The paperwork shows two Treasury checks dated November and December 1961 totaling $2,755.00. The researcher requested funds to publish proceedings from a symposium he had organized, which was well attended and included ten young scientists. The manuscript would contain approximately [illegible] typewritten pages and cost about $2,650.00 to produce 2,000 to 3,000 copies for distribution to national and international medical journals. The funds were treated as a gift with no further accounting required beyond indicating disbursement.
