generally to explore any other possibilities of mind control. An MK-ULTRA program tagged "Operation Teapot" involved the testing of pregnant women with radiation, among other things. Also under this program, US. army soldiers were dosed with LSD to study the effects of panic. Another MK-ULTRA effort, Subproject 54, was the Navy's top secret "Perfect Concussion" program, which used sub aural frequency blasts to erase memory. During this program LSD's corollary effect on controlled and channeled mass panic was discovered. MK-ULTRA head Sidney Gottlieb was involved with both Operation Teapot and Subproject 54. The US. government officially denied involvement until 1995 when an official apology was issued to the pregnant women and to the affected US. army soldiers. However no apologies were offered to the affected US. Navy soldiers or to a group of Oregon prison inmates, whose testicles were irradiated without their knowledge. Compensation for medical treatment resulting from these experiments has been disputed and remains tied up in arbitration more than 40 years after the fact. Since 1995, most of the associated files have been reclassified as Top Secret. Because most MK-ULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by order of then CIA Director Richard Helms, it has been difficult, if not impossible, for investigators to gain a complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research sub- projects sponsored by MK Ultra and related CIA programs.
