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.
