Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file gathers 11 documents on MKULTRA Subproject 115, dated from 1960 onward. It holds invoice checklists, funding authorizations, payment memoranda signed for the TSD/Research Branch, an expenditure accounting, and a research proposal. The subproject funded a one-year study of the interaction between the mentally disturbed and their environment, costing about $4,085. The stated Agency interest was insight into factors influencing human behavior, and the researchers were to remain unwitting of the sponsor. None of the material concerns UFOs.

Our Board has responded favorably to your proposal. Tending final approval; however, they have asked that you submit a new proposal concerned with Phasos I and II only, in somewhat expanded form with its own budget. It seems advisable for financial and for scientific reasons to look upon a project such as yours as consisting of a preliminary study for planning and developmental purposes to be followed by the major study, which may be altered in design as a result of analysis of the preliminary results. After your completion of Phase II, we would expect a report which would include your proposal and budget for the remaining work. I hope this is satisfactory to you. Since the Board members are already familiar with your total project and since their attitude is generally favorable, they should be able to reach a decision very quickly--perhaps within several days. Please accept our thanks for your efforts on behalf of I have just received a note from reporting a pleasant and successful visit. Sincerely yours, - C
