CIA
This document, from the CIA's MKUltra program, discusses the perceived lack of knowledge regarding Soviet advancements in mind-control techniques and suggests that the US is not far advanced, being hampered by an inability to conduct human testing. It requests field offices to identify and report on individuals and institutions involved in relevant research, particularly in biochemistry departments, mental hospitals, and private psychiatric practices.
