MEMORANDUM RELATIVE TO THE USE OF THE DRUG IN INTERROGATION. This substance can be administered to the subject either by injecting it into cigarettes to be smoked by the subject, or by placing it in food which the subject is certain to consume. The use of cigarettes is somewhat unsatisfactory as the dosage cannot be accurately controlled. This results from the variety in smoking habits, since some persons inhale deeply, some slightly and none at all. It is necessary also for the impregnated portion of the cigarette to be burning and the smoke therefrom inhaled by the subject in order to produce the desired effect. When the substance is placed in food which the subject is certain to consume the dosage can be more carefully controlled. Since the substance is odorless, colorless and tasteless, it cannot be detected in the food. The capacity of various people to absorb or tolerate this drug varies. I have found that a maximum of 3/100 c.c. is sufficient to produce the desired effect on even the most resistant subject when administered internally. Since some persons do not have as great a tolerance, it is suggested that the drug be administered in successive doses of 1/100 c.c. until the desired effect is reached. The operator is cautioned that internal dosage may take as long as 45 minutes to take effect, and that he should not become impatient and thereby give an overdose of the drug in attempting to expedite the process. B. TREATMENT: If the operator will remember that the drug roughly produces the effect of mental intoxication without the symptoms of physical intoxication produced by alcohol he will have a practical understanding of the effect of the drug. In order to estimate effect and obtain desirable results it is necessary to note the stance so the subject will not be the object of interrogation. The drug will not produce desired effect when the subject is on guard or the result of normal apprehension. The interrogation should be carried out through The image displays a graphic background depicting a vault door, suggesting a theme of secrecy or hidden information. The text overlay, presented in white against a dark background, announces "THE BLACK VAULT" prominently at the top. Below this title, the text explains that the document was obtained from "The Black Vault," an online database for declassified government documents, specifically mentioning the "MKULTRA/Mind Control Collection" which contains over 20,000 declassified pages from the CIA. A yellow hyperlink, "http://mkultra.theblackvault.com," is provided for downloading the entire collection. There are no photographs of people, locations, equipment, or subjects, nor any handwritten annotations, signatures, official stamps, forms, diagrams, tables, redactions, or visual evidence of experimental procedures. The page contains a typewritten document with a handwritten annotation at the top right. The annotation, "A/B, I, 64, 34", appears to be some form of indexing or tracking code. There are also several vertical black bars on the left margin, which are likely artifacts from the document's reproduction or scanning process, not intentional markings on the original. The text discusses methods of drug administration, specifically injection into cigarettes or placement in food, and the challenges of accurately controlling dosages.
