To the right of the vault, white text is superimposed on a black background. The text states that the document was obtained from "The Black Vault," an online database of declassified government documents, specifically housed in the MKULTRA/Mind Control Collection. It mentions that this collection contains over 20,000 declassified pages from the CIA and provides a URL for downloading the entire collection. The text "THE BLACK VAULT" is displayed prominently at the top in a stylized font.

Three official stamps are visible: "JUN 6 1952", "Copy No. 1 of", and a stamp in the bottom right corner that appears to be a signature and title. Handwritten marginalia are present in the form of arrows and underlined text. There are also three small boxes with text that seem to be redactions or obscured content in the bottom left and center of the page. Finally, in the bottom center, a handwritten signature and date, "12/3/75", are visible next to a typed title.
