Soviet and Japanese Whaling Operations in the Pacific The Soviet and JapanJ the two largest whaling nations. Un~on captured over 25,000 during the 1975-76 season, or about 85% w~ales of the total harvested. Using floating factory ships attended by . catcher vessels and spotter aircraft, their fleets can pursue whales around the world. JSSR's whaling fleet ranks first in world in size and Th~ t~e consists cf four mother ships and approximately 90 catcher boats totaling about 175,000 GRT. It operates in the Antarctic Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean near the Aleutian, Kurile and Commander Islands. The Japanese fleet, although the second largest in the 'world, is only aboJt half the size of the Soviet fleet, consisting of three mother. ships and about 45 catcher vessels totaling close to 90,000 GRT. It too operates mostly in the Antarctic and Pacific Oceans, although coastal whaling off of Japan is also prominent. We have no detailed information on the current location of the Soviet and Japanese whaling fleets the Pacific. Soviet whaling ~n operations in the Pacific Ocean -· which generally consist of two mother ships and around 20 catcher boats -- have, however. been traditionally concentrated in the area between Guam. the Aleutian and th~~ Hawaiian islands between 1 t-1ay and 31 July. In August, the Pacific operations follow the migratory patterns of wha1es along the US west coast and Alaska. Soviet whaling in the Pacific normally ends in September or October, when the fleet returns to Soviet ports and is readied for Antarctic operations between October and May. Japanese whaling operations are generally in the same areas of the Pacific, although its fleet is centered closer to Japan. Cur rently. there are an estimated 10 Japanese whaling vessels operating in the North Pacific, including one to Soviet ports and is readied for Antarctic operations between October and May. Japanese whaling operations are generally in the same areas of the Pacific, although its fleet is centered closer to Japan. Cur rently. there are an estimated 10 Japanese whaling vessels operating in the North Pacific, including one and possibly mother ships. t\~O UNCLASSIFIED . = . $ ..

Unfortunately~ neither Project MKULTRA files nor any other files thus far located contain the names of persons who may have en used as sub.)ects. Therefore~ S':l our search of relevant files aroe was not found. Admiral Turner bas assured the Congress that the CIA will attempt to identify those persons '"'ho were the subjects of \!..>'1witting testing conducted under Project MKULTRA. To this end,. the insti tutions where Project l\lKUL'l'RA testing took place have been notified of their involvement The page appears to be a typed document with handwritten annotations and stamps. There are no photographs, diagrams, or tables visible. The document is numbered "Page 3" and mentions "January 1976". There are some black ink scribbles that obscure parts of the text, particularly around the names of individuals and phrases like "I told". The text discusses the return of transcripts of briefings to Representative Leo Ryan. There is a stamp at the top right corner that is partially obscured but appears to indicate a classification level and date. There are also drawings of what appear to be cigars or cigarettes at the top and bottom of the page. The document appears to be a typed journal entry from the Office of Legislative Counsel, dated Tuesday, March 9, 1976, and marked as "Page 2." Significant portions of the page are covered by black redactions, particularly over items numbered 7, 8, and 9, obscuring the details of these entries. Item 10 provides a textual description of a briefing concerning Representative Leo Ryan and an Arab/Israeli military balance. Near the bottom right, there's a circular stamp with the number "7" inside and a handwritten "OCT-1987" next to "Approved for Release Date," suggesting a declassification date. The document shows signs of damage around the edges and some smudging. relevant files aroe was not found.
