MKUltra Subproject 134

MKUltra Subproject 134 funded exploratory research on the relationship between body type patterns and personality characteristics. The project was initiated in July 1961 with a total approved budget of $22,000.00. A contractor received a grant to conduct the research, with actual work expected to commence in September 1961. Financial records show the project extended at least through August 1962. An accounting statement from February 1963 documents expenditures totaling $18,827.50, with a balance of $3,172.50 to be applied to the next grant year. Expenses included salaries for a principal investigator ($10,800.00), fees to research subjects ($1,980.00), testing assistance, test equipment, travel, office expenses, and miscellaneous costs. The surviving paperwork indicates this was a systematic research effort tracking payments and obligations through multiple fiscal periods.
