Tenth, there are six subprojects on research on drugs, toxins, andbiologicals in human tissue, provision of exotic pathogens, and thecapability to incorporate them in effective delivery systems.Eleventh, there are three subprojects on activities whose naturesimply cannot be determined.Twelfth, there are subprojects involving funding support for unspecifiedactivities conducted with the Army Special Operations Divisionat Fort Detrich, Md. This activity is outlined in Book I of theChurch committee report, pages 388 to 389. (See Appendix A, pp.68-69).Under CIA's Project MKNAOMI, the Army assisted the CIA indeveloping, testing, and maintaining biological agents and deliverysystems-for use against humans as well as against animals and crops.Thirteenth, there are single subprojects in such areas as the effectsof electroshock, harassment techniques for offensive use, analysis ofextrasensory perception, gas propelled sprays and aerosols, and foursubprojects involving crop and material sabotage.Fourteenth, one or two subprojects on each of the following: bloodgrouping research; controlling the activities of animals; energy storageand transfer in organic systems; and stimulus and response inbiological systems.Finally, 15th, there are three subprojects canceled before any workwas done on them having to do with laboratory drug screening, researchon brain concussion, and research on biologically activematerials.Now, let me address how much this newly discovered material addsto what has previously been reported to the Church committee andto Senator Kennedy's Subcommittee on Health.
