On the left side, there is a stylized illustration of a vault door with a circular dial and various mechanical components. The right side of the image features large, white, stylized text that reads "THE BLACK VAULT." Below this title, there is white text providing context about the document originating from The Black Vault, an online database of declassified government documents, specifically mentioning the MKULTRA/Mind Control Collection and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). At the bottom, a yellow URL is displayed: "http://mkultra.theblackvault.com". There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, signatures, official stamps, forms, diagrams, tables, redactions, or visual evidence of experimental procedures. The document is a typed page with handwritten annotations. At the top, "ROUGH DRAFT" is stamped, and a handwritten addition reads "A/B, 2, 33/16". Several sections of text are obscured by black redactions, with the largest redaction appearing in the first paragraph. Handwritten marks and notations are also present in the margins, including "H-B/6" and "B/6", and some are pointing towards specific text. The overall impression is of a draft document that has been reviewed and annotated, with certain information deliberately obscured. 10. ~hat conLrols ~ere us~d? Details. r II· 11.
