ANNESIA One of the· questions most commonly asked of A is, "Can you guarantee amnesia?" This, of course, is a very logical question and its answer--if it could be given in the affir mative would be_ of extreme importance in many types of operations as well as in A use. At present, however, we do not know of any technique, chemical, treatment, etc. which will guarantee complete amnesia. A is very interested in this problem but to date our research and experimentation is disappointing. In hypnosis, certain of our good subjects have, with some degree of consistency, had · _,:: amnesias but the same subjects in other tests have had recall even after the strongest suggestiona were made for amnesia. It appears that under hypnosis, even if a complete amnesia cacno~ be obtained a blurred or fuzzy merrcry c~~ be, L~~ed and a partial amnesia is often obtained. Some subjects seem to experience ma~ory blank when placed in deep hypnotic states w~thout efforts being made to produce an amnesia--but this too is not consistent. Certain chemicals seem effective. Scopolamine, for instance, comes closer than the barbiturates although we have apparently produced good amnesias with amytal and pentothal. Some new chemicals may be valuabie along these lines The image displays a graphic with the title "THE BLACK VAULT" in a stylized font. To the left of the text, there is an illustration of a bank vault door with a circular dial and intricate mechanical components, rendered in shades of gray and blue. The text beneath the title explains that the document was obtained from The Black Vault, an online database of declassified government documents, specifically mentioning the MKULTRA/Mind Control Collection. The text also provides a URL to access this collection. There are no photographs of people, locations, equipment, or subjects, nor are there any handwritten annotations, signatures, stamps, forms with filled-in fields, diagrams, schematics, organizational charts, tables, structured data, redactions, or visual evidence of experimental procedures, equipment, or facilities. The document appears to be a typed index or glossary on plain white paper, with some handwritten annotations in the upper right section. These annotations include what looks like a code or date "13275-12(3)", a circled number "2", and numbers "455 " and "469" with a "p" beneath the former, and the word "B" within a bracket. There are no photographs, stamps, forms, diagrams, tables, or visual evidence of experimental procedures present. The text lists various terms such as "ALCOHOL," "ALTERATIONS," "AMANITA," and "ANTIONIUM" along with corresponding references. placed in deep hypnotic states w~thout efforts being made to produce an amnesia--but this too is not consistent. Certain chemicals seem effective. Scopolamine, for instance, comes closer than the barbiturates although we have apparently produced good amnesias with amytal and pentothal. Some new chemicals may be valuabie along these lines (LSD). However, our professional consult~hatica.lly support the A view that short of cutti.'Ylg a subject 1 s throat, a true e~ cannot be guaranteed. ' It should be recalled also that most drugs leave a tell tale "hangover" with the subject and he may be very vague as to what has occurred, he nevertheless will ·~1ile realize that something "unusual" has happened to him. Such chemicals as LSD, mescaline etc. having weird and bizarre effects in heavy dosages clearly indicate something has been done to the individual.

The A group has considered shock--both electro and chen:ically-induced as an amnesia producing technique but even in this results are spotty and medical authorities are certainly not in agreement. This, coupled with the dangers involved, the clumsy apparatus necessary and the medical problew~ present more or less rule out shock for our use. The A group vtould recommend this for research. __, ......__-o.r- ,_ ___ _......,..._ - . ----------- -~ .-.. ~-~: ·- ~ - -_l-. ---------------------- ·---····· j': ---~--">.

If pyridoxin ~, is counteracted rapidly and completely enough, a convulsion may be produced. An antimetabolite to glutamin (gluta.IIlic acid, an amino-acid essential to human health) would likewise sensitize to convulsion; or produce one, if glutamin were counteracted rapidly and completely enough. A diet naturally low in B6 could be fed, and drugged with the above autimetabolites. It is also possible that edibles could be grown, under radioactivity, to contain less B6 than normally. Research in experimentation along these lines is not worth the project 1 s effqrt; but the literature merits an occasional survey. ______ - ..... -···-··.

This state is abolished --~ by cocain, or an amphetamin; rapidly, if either of these antidotes is injected; even more rapidly if a mixture of 40~ C02 + 6o-;b 02 is inhaled. A smaller dose of bulbocapnin produces Under-Anxiety (col. #1), a state of tran quillity which may include some degree of suggestibility. Use of this drug in interrogation is well worth further study, both alone and in combination. - . • - • '~- ----· ---- -~---~------- ·----·----- c -~//3 /J-: ~;... ~-~-.......... - _..-...,wfli'-.~~ .. -, -· ~ __. ......,...,. ____ --·-· • ... ·. :; .• ..-.:.:.".-... . :_ _ : ;,~ ,..,. -~~ ," -< "1".
